Testing Strategies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Chandler, AZ

Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various styles which is very effective. Teacher-centered, where the teacher is expert and authority in presenting information works well with students who need little direction from the instructor, and/or those who accept responsibility for their own learning. While in other situations, I will take a learner-centered approach thus viewing my role as more of a facilitator of student learning. In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating

I believe that each student learns differently, and that we need to target those learning styles and use them in ways that can help one another. I have been teaching for over ten years. It is not just a job, it is my passion. I love going into my classroom everyday and learning with my students. Together, we conquer the day in our curricular subjects, but also in our social environments all with a growth mindset and determinations. Do we make mistakes along the way? Yes, of course we do, but those are celebrated as learning opportunities, things that we can grow from. Learning and growing together makes every day exciting and fun! 1

I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. At the beginning of each school year, my goals and standards are clearly set and all students know what is expected of them. Regardless of past reports that may indicate a child's personlized behavior program or low academic achievement, I believe that each and every student can succeed when given positive reinforcement and review of basic fundamental skills. Another important teaching tool I have used with the younger students is demonstrating procedures and transitions, so that time is not taken away from learning. I am creative in incorporating all learning styles into my planning. Ever since I could set up my dolls and play school with them, I have wanted to become a teacher. I graduated from Loras College, a private liberal arts school in Dubuque, Iowa, with a degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, I taught at St. M

I enjoy working with young people and making an impact on their academic success. I don't know if I have a particular teaching style, but I believe that education is not a "one size fits all" proposition and good educators must adapt their style to fit the needs of their student which I strive for every time I meet a new student. Although I do not have a degree in Education, I have years of experience as a teaching assistant, teacher, tutor and curriculum designer. My experience mostly focuses on helping students improve their writing skills, but I also work with students with their reading comprehension since they go hand in hand. I have taught composition at the community college level which enables me to help students with papers at all levels from basic exposition to research methodology and citation format.

My style of teaching depends upon the child's way of learning. In my role as a Montessori teacher I typically presented lessons to the child in way that would best suite their approach to learning. For example, if that particular child was a more hands on type learner I would make materials or present the lesson in a manner to include something that he or she could manipulate. My goal in education is to provide the best type of learning to match your child's way of learning. I attempt to do the best that I can for any child that I work with. I do believe that all children really want to learn especially in the right circumstances. When I graduated from High School and went into the job market I continued to be interested in working with children. This interest lead me to taking psychology and education classes from various colleges over the years and ultimately obtaining a B.I.S degree f

I love to teach. I have experience with 5-50 years old and, if pressed, could not name a favorite group. I believe that everyone can learn; some of us just process information in different ways. As a tutor it is my job to discover how a student processes information and adapt my lesson to accommodate them. Learning can be both fun and serious, as long as it is productive. As part of my lifelong love of learning and teaching, I began tutoring when I was just fourteen years old. While in high school, I usually tutored math (mostly algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and general science. Once I moved to college, I began to work with middle school as well as high school students again in mostly math and science. However, I have a BA in politics and history; therefore I am extremely confident in many liberal arts subjects. I have also earned an MBA which helped to hone my grammatical and com

I value personal discovery: the journey is as important as the destination. In a teaching or tutoring session, I ask as many questions as I answer. Unlike Socrates, I do not ask questions to lead students to a particular answer. Instead, I ask questions to lead my students to answers I don't always know--until we get there, together. A poem, a novel, a historical event--even a math problem: these are just the tools a good teacher--and tutor--uses to get his or her students to think critically. In a world where future careers are uncertain, or haven't yet been imagined, the ability to think critically is the strongest weapon with which we can arm our children. In fall 1993, I began my teaching experience in the undergraduate education program at Arizona State University. Upon graduation, I sought and obtained a job as a middle-school teacher. After two years, I moved on to the high school
