As an education student, I saw many opportunities in that field. I also saw the diversity of learners, and the need for a diversity in the way education is approached. I began to challenge myself by removing limitations like language, and searching for alternative techniques to teaching students of different cultural, socioeconomic, religious and behavioral backgrounds. Through my efforts, I found that to teach is to learn twice over, and that teaching can be beneficial for the student as well as the educator. I fell in love with education, and will never look back!
Throughout my career as a student, I have always prided myself on the ability to help others learn. When I was a high school student, I was the one other students would come to with questions, and I always gave an answer with confidence. Then I got to college and began to study Biology. I was so amazed at the broad spec ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, especially children to whom I provide exposure and enthusiasm of learning and understanding, so that they not only understand what they need to know, but can discover that they want to know more and can find the information themselves. Because I continue to read books and search the internet to satisfy my own thirst for knowledge, I know where the resources are for my students. Each child wants to learn—it is a survival instinct; but each child is different and will learn in different ways. I have the patience and the creativity to find the most effective teaching method for the child’s academic success. And most of all, I believe learning is fun.
Excellence in education and curiosity in the natural world, instilled in me since elementary school, has driven me to be an “A” student through my college education. The curriculums in premed ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While in graduate school at the University of Connecticut, I was a teaching assistant for a chemical engineering course on polymers as well as freshman chemistry. Both teaching assignments included: grading homework/test papers and providing office hours for students to visit me and go over problem solving. The chemistry class required me to actually be the teacher for 30 students each semester. Also, as a graduate student teaching assistant for freshman chemistry, I provided help sessions for students going over past test problems to prepare them for upcoming tests. My senior year as an undergraduate at Purdue University. I was selected as a tutor to assist sophomore students with their homework.
My approach to tutoring is not simply to regurgitate what the teacher has already said in the classroom. Students need to have tried to solve the problems on their own before I help them ... read more

Having many years of teching experience, I have always used a child centered approach. I normaly use a teaching style which is specific for a child. I normally take some time to identify the student's learing style and then use it to teach them.Since I work in an interest based charter school, I have valuable experience in assisting students apply themselves in ways they like.
I have taught for many years both in Kenya and in US. This has afforded me the opportunity to work with students of diverse cultures. I have tutored in mostly in Math and Sciences. I have tutored students for AtoZ tutoring where I assisted in reading comprehension and grammar. I currently work in a project based Charter school in Las Vegas.

I get a thrill from experiencing a student achieving the Ah-ha! moment of learning. I employ multiple modalities of teaching, since most students have multiple modalities of learning. My goal is to facilitate my students to become independent learners. I employ Socratic teaching methods. I don't give answers. That's too easy. I have found that students retain learning when they work through the solution. I offer students skills to ask questions about their world.
I am fortunate to have multiple intelligence. Since an early age, I have been motivated to increase my knowledge base and skill levels. My desires have motivated me to earn a double majored BS in agriculture, an applied science, and a MS in biology. I taught laboratory classes while I was a student. I began working as a tutor in 1999. This motivated me to become teacher trained. I am an AVID certified tutor. I have tutore ... read more
