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

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 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.

First, and foremost, I believe that effective learning is both fun and relevant. I have always been able to make a game of it and to make it both interesting and challenging to others. My goal is never to teach them a rote solution, but to challenge them to think about the concepts and have then tell me the answers. This builds their confidence and solidifies their learning experience. I find that if they understand how a concept was derived in the first place, they seldom forget that story and therefore have learned something that will stay with them for a live time. I prefer to use the Socratic Method and draw the information from my students. Again, I think it is best if they THINK rather than learn. Over time I see all my students (and all our five daughters) have responded well to this approach. As an engineering student, I scored A's in 4 Quarters of Calculus, 3 Quarters o

My education background began in 1990. That year I earned my AA in education from Scottsdale Community College in the area of education. In 1992 I received my BA from Arizona State University in education. I began working in the Balsz Unifed School District in 1992 and was employed as a special education teacher in the Balsz district for 12 years, and three more years in Prescott, Arizona as we had moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Prescott, Arizona. I hold Arizona state certifications in regular education K-8; special education K-12 and emotional disabilities K-12. I am highly certified in these areas and hold a bachelor’s degree (1992) plus many extra hours in the field of education with a master’s equivalency. I have tutored students while earning my degrees and after school when I was employed with the Balsz district. I have developed many individual education plans during my year

I have always enjoyed tutoring students and seeing them "get" the subjects we are touching on. The look on their face during this moment is priceless. I fully understand that everyone learns things in different ways. While one student may be able to memorize and understand facts one way, say by repetition, another student may learn the information by understanding the background and context that it comes from. I am very patient and flexible with students and realize that if they do not understand the material that it is not their fault, but rather I need to try a different approach with them. A good education is not only valuable in life, but I feel that students gain self confidence when they see their grades improve and they actually understand their class work. This is exactly why I love helping them with their school work. In high school I was able to tutor students in all subjects r

I have 22 years of tutoring experience, from both my own business, Mr. Tutor, and freelance work. I have tutored both academic subjects such as Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies.

I have worked with both children and adults. As each tutoring situation is unique, I bring a variety of skills and abilities to each person.

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I have been in love with teaching for about ten years now. I began my Bachelor's in 2000 and haven't left the world of Education since.

As an elementary and middle school Language Arts teacher I believe instruction should be tailored to the needs of the individual learner and to the needs of the community. I have had the opportunity to teach in a variety of settings and ability levels. Students confidently excel when they are in a learning environment that is tailored to their abilities and needs. I strive to build a relationship of respect with each student. I am focused, student-centered, and knowledgeable of subject matter. I can create and foster an environment that motivates students and helps them to learn. I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Elementary Education, a Reading and Literacy minor, and an endorsement in Middle School Education.

I find that students have their own unique style of learning. I also believe that by establishing a solid set of study skills while catering to individual techniques of the student, the learning process can grow and thrive. Therefore, I would combine my training in theatre and performance to make learning an enjoyable process. I have a very kind and patient disposition which helps foster a supportive learning environment. The most rewarding education comes from self-discovery and I firmly believe that the best teaching comes from this principle. At this point in my professional career, I currently do not have any experience teaching in a formal classroom environment. However, my experience does extend into performance education, as I have three years experience working for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in which I increased participation of general visitor and school audie

My teaching style is very hands-on, exploratory and structured. I expect my students to work hard, stay focused, and give effort. I can work with any skill level of student and I motivated to try different techniques to ensure they not only learn the material but also apply it. I believe all children can learn, but it is up to me to find what works for the individual. I am a graduate student at ASU studying Education Administration. I have experience working with students of all ages 5-17. I currently work in a middle school and spend my weekends teaching life skills to troubled youth. I have taught for over 6 years and I plan to continue teaching for as long as I can. I enjoy working with children and sharing my passion for learning.

My style of teaching varies per student. I am able to adapt to fit the child's style of learning. I have found that many students are discovery students or kinetic learners. I enjoy giving examples and finding understanding in a problem. Children need positive enforcement and encouragement. I enjoy working will all age groups and seeing each child achieve their goals. I pride myself in the fact that I am a life long learner. I continued my education in graduate school in order to excel in my professional field, but also to assist others in their life long goals. My masters will be completed in May of 2007 in the field of Education with an emphasis in Counseling/Human Relations. I will utilize this education as a means to counsel, teach and explore. I have excellent written and oral skills and I have extensive knowledge in the health science field.

I love teaching and working with all young children. I believe all children can learn but each child learns at a different pace. I look forward to helping your children become even better students. My philosophy is that children learn best through hands on experiences and not through just reading textbooks. If children are able to further their learning this way they will be very successful in school. I graduated from NAU where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. While studying for my degree I took many classes dealing with Early Childhood Curriculum, and also classes dealing with different teaching philosophies and methods. Additionally, I have taken extensive class work in classroom communication strategies. During the last two years I have tutored second and third graders in reading and language arts.
