Testing Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cedar Crest, NM

I believe that people learn the best when they understand the meaning and logic behind what they are learning. When a student can see a pattern develop they develop an understanding that can be universally applied to many different areas of study and life circumstances. Learning is different then memorizing. It is especially important to understand the concepts behind the subject matter when planning continue in a similar learning subject. I am a licensed Social worker with tutoring experience in and out of college. I have the most experience in tutoring Algebra and other math. I have a student now that I am helping with AP English who has dyslexia. I enjoy watching her grammar skills increase and her overall understanding of the concepts develop. I am great with any age individual and have the patience it takes to work with any kind of student (special needs included).

NCLEX, HESI, ATI, KAPLAN, GENERIC NURSING EXAMS FOR ALL NURSING CONTENT AREAS My teaching (and writing) philosophies are strongly connected to the unique needs of the professional adult learner; providing the tools necessary to succeed individually as part of an effective health care delivery team. I am known for being detail-oriented and organized in my work, and enjoy creating new educational materials and modalities involving students in active vs. passive learning. I am a strong advocate for utilizing a mentorship approach for adult learners. I utilize case studies and various electronic modalities to share my knowledge base. I work for the client, and I begin by determining what would help them the most. Nursing students are notorious for not "knowing what they already know." Many times, within a few sessions, clients have gotten over the questions they find are formatted strangely

During the years I have been an instructor and tutor, I have contributed to my students’ confidence and motivation through my interactive and engaging lessons on becoming a successful student. I conduct my lessons with high energy, engaging students to participate and contribute to the discussion. I balance excellent student interaction with effective classroom management. I feel I would be an excellent choice for this position based on the fact that I have outstanding intellectual and analytical ability, oral and written expression, and ability to work well with others. In addition, I believe my truly exceptional strengths lie in the areas of motivation, creativity, self-confidence, and leadership. Students need to be equipped with the research skills and ability to fetter out information from a number of different sources. The information must be timely, accurate, credible, relevant

I love teaching students and to explore subjects with honesty, creativity, and comprehensive scope. I have never met anyone who could not learn and approach each student from an understanding of where they are, what they may have overlooked, and where they need to go. I strive to find the ideal example to help students visualize problems and to remove obstacles to their learning path. I believe the impact of one-on-one teaching leaves lasting positive experiences that are seldom matched with any other type of learning environment. I have tutored most of the Math and Science courses at Glendale Community College for four years, tutored troubled teens at the YWCA during the same time period, taught Algebra at Gerard Catholic High School for one year, and tutored around the valley for several additional years. My motivation is to be the best at what I do and to teach students self disc

Through out my experience tutoring a diverse group of kids, I have learned to love and appreciate the art of teaching. It’s important to understand the many differences and backgrounds in every child, only then, we can begin to understand their special needs. I do believe everyone can learn given the opportunity, and resources needed to flourish to their maximum potential. I also believe that as an educator, you must challenge them to a superior level, strive for excellence. It is our job as educators to ignite the spark of knowledge; it is our job to encourage them to go far beyond of what it is expected of them As a recent graduate from the University of New Mexico. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Spanish and BS in Sociology, this two combined have allowed me to understand social sciences to a new level. As you can expect my grammatical skills have flourished due to the combi

Socratic, I like the students to build on what they already know so that it becomes an extension of their long term memory not another short term memory soon forgotten. I have found ways to connect almost any subject matter from physics to algebra to chemistry nomenclature into something one already knows. If one uses long term memory pegs one can "file" things in memory and recall with very little effort. I have received a degree in English and was a pre-law student. I owned a real estate company in 1990s. I was in the Navy (scored 95% on ASVAB) and worked in the field of intelligence. I acquired legal experience working within real estate and finance.

I have learned to acknowledge and understand the multitude of learning styles and abilities among youth from different backgrounds, belief systems, and economical positions, and I am familiar with individual personality and psychological variations that effect attention, learning, and social or personal interactions. My philosophy for educational instruction and tutoring involves supplemental interaction, minimal direction, and extensive support to help individuals gain self-confidence in their available skills set, intelligence, and problem solving tendencies by presenting helpful strategies and adhering to each student's abilities. I attended the University of New Mexico and earned a double BA in Psychology and English where I produced a pamphlet for students with traumatic brain injury for the UNM Accessibility Resource Center, was fourth author of a poster on Mindfulness Intervention

I desire to see every student succeed in life. Succeeding in school is a big part of learning to become successful in your life. Not so much the individual grades that a student gets, but learning responsibility, perseverance, goal-setting, and striving to do your best. Many students feel like failures through no fault of their own. I love to help students realize success and begin to believe in themselves. I believe that one person can make a difference in a child’s life, and I want to be that person. Each student is an individual, so my style of teaching would depend on your child and the topic. I have about 10 years teaching experience in both the middle school and high school level. Some of the subjects I have taught include American History, World History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, and Earth Science. For the last 6 years I have been teaching primarily mathemati

I have worked with students of all levels and educational needs. With my 4 children and 4 grandchildren, I have elementary, middle school and high school experience. As a teacher at a Job Corps for 7 years, I had the experience of working with non-traditional students. At Job Corps, I taught reading, developed writing skills/creative writing curriculum, and tutored students in math, health and GED prep. As a self-employed consultant for the past 6 years, I have assisted adults in various higher education programs and computer software training. My teaching style is very flexible. I believe that a learning/tutoring program must be structured to the individual student's needs and build upon his/her strengths. Both the student and the tutor must work as a team to determine the goals of the program, set the work guidelines, establish milestones, and structure the style of the sessions.

Over my year and half of experience tutoring, I believe all students need a chance for a successful future. I worked with middle school students and college students. I also worked with students individually and in grops. I was able to organize and prioritize their needs for help in various subjects. I beleve a good tutor who is willing to dedicate their time and effort to help a student will make a change in that student's life. I pursued my BS degree in Medical Lab Sciences and planning on getting my Masters in education. Therefore, I am knowledegable with different levels of chemistry up to Introductry Organic and Biochemistry, also able to tutor different levels of Biology up to Introductry Molecular Biology and various levels of Math.

As a Licensed School Pyschologist and parent of two school aged children, I have come to understand how people learn things. I have a strong background in reading and writing and was published when I was in college. I have worked for many years with students who struggle with writing, and feel I am very effective in helping them make the connections between reading and writing in a meaningful way. Due to my background in psychology and counseling, I am well suited to work on motivational issued and learning resistance. All people can learn. My job is to be a coach and help students learn to take responsibility for their own learning. I feel it helps a great deal to allow students high levels of autonomy regarding what they choose to study. I will follow along with the student to the best of my ability by challening any assumptions he or she may have about a topic and encouraging hi

I love the idea of being the person that has helped someone further their knowledge. I have always been a person that will take the time to teach someone something so they fully understand what they’re doing. I am patient, easy going and understand that everyone learns differently. I believe if you help the student get excited about learning, it not only makes learning easier but makes the subject more enjoyable. During college I worked for NMSU and CYFD providing two types of tutoring services. With NMSU I worked with fellow college students in classes that I previously passed, which mainly included Accounting and Math. With CYFD I worked with young mothers trying to obtaining their GED. I helped create good study habits and tutored them in all areas included in the GED; Social Studies, Math, Language Arts, and Science. While in college I took several communication classes which h

I believe that listening is a key to helping a student succeed in a subject matter that may not come easily to them. Building on a child's strengths and trying to find a "way in" that makes sense to them is a good strategy. Using creativity and "outside the box" approaches to learning can help a child access their latent abilities. Writing is such a powerful tool, not only for self-expression but for changing the world and for success in many professions-- I try to highlight the importance of writing to students' lives whenever possible, to connect the writing process (and literature) to their passions and to get them excited about it. I have extensive experience teaching all aspects of English, writing and composition, grammar, and literature. I have taught at University of New Mexico for the past seven years during my graduate work, and as a part-time instructor. In my teaching I commo

As the first in my family to earn a university degree, I have a strong connection with students of all ages who need educational support. I have more than 20 years of experience teaching English and writing to a diverse range of learners from middle school and high school to PhD research students. While working full-time, I have earned a BS in English Education, MA in English/Non-fiction Writing, and a PhD in English/Writing so I understand the demands students must juggle as they try to educate themselves. I have also worked as a free-lance writer and editor and have published articles, stories, and poetry. I am a patient, student-centered facilitator of critical thinking and writing skills. With specific training in writing pedagogy, I see the best results in small groups or with individuals when the process of writing can be explored through creative catalysts designed around the spe
