At the outset of the personal computer revolution I sold and supported Tandy computers. As part of the support function I instructed clients in the use of their computers. A whole new world blossomed for me. Teaching clients to use their computers turned out to be a long term and very rewarding experience. During my thirteen years as The Computer Tutor I encountered a multitude of student learning difficulties. By working with the individual students, creative solutions were structured and successfully executed. Tutoring the non-traditional students to achieve their goals was by far the greatest reward. Their resulting change in demeanor was very heart warming. What more can a teaching professional ask? Having a very positive impact on a student’s life and be paid for it. Three teachers impacted my life not only as a result of the content of their classes but in their deliver

As a graduate of a presigious liberal arts college, I was driven to a belief in life-long learning. As such I have been to graduate school twice, once in business and once in international relations, to gain an understanding of the world in which we live both in terms of economics and finance and through the study of foreign policy and the wider world. I became fluent in Spanish while on assignment in Spain in the early 1990's and keep my skills current by working actively with the Latino community. I am also a scholar of 20th century european and diplomatic history, with concentration on the period between the two world wars. I currently teach Consumer Economics and Business at Pike's Peak Community College, and English as a Second Language through Catholic Charities. I love teaching and working with students of all sages. I believe that you are never too old or too young to learn new

I love working with children and my goal in life is to teach elementary level students. I do not give up in finding ways to reach children of all ages. I have also assisted my sons and their friends with school work and study skills. While working toward my master's degree, I started working in a high school as a para-professional. I also studied a lot of physical and social sciences, which I feel are my stong points.

As a graduate in both the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Master of Business Administration from Regis University, I have been very focused on education and the pursuit of knowledge. These degrees have allowed me to understand the many complementing areas of business, English, grammer and the key interactions between the United States and our partners throughout the world. During the last 13 years, I have taught numerous continuing education sessions at my places of employment and have during the last 4 years been teaching with Junior Achievement through their volunteer programs. It was with Junior Achievement that I realized I have a true passion for teaching and have taught subjects as varied as Economics and Business Enterprise to Our Region which led the students through the interactions of the Western region of the United States. I enjoy teaching and interactin

I am a holistic teacher who likes for students to experience the subject. For example I would have student immerse themselves into the subject of history and complete a project and present it to the other students. It was really successful and had students waiting all year. When working towards my teaching certification I was in many classrooms from Kindergarten to 12th Grade in Pueblo School District 60. After graduation I applied and got a teaching job and I taught at Skyview Middle School in District 49 for 4 years teaching Ancient Civilizations. Before that I was a substitute in District 8, 2, 3, 60, 48 all southern Colorado school districts.

I have found that no matter how much anyone person would like to teach, no one can force someone to learn. With that in mind, if I remember to approach each student as an individual with his or her own abilities, concerns, and goals, I will have a more successful result as an educator. I have learned that each individual has at least one trigger, for want of a better word, which will entice them unconsciously to want to learn. One of my goals is to find that element. No matter how “cool” a student is, most only want to be listened to, I have a talent for doing just that. My introduction to teaching occurred when I was selected by two university departments to be a Graduate Assistant. Among my many duties were the presentation of classes and the grading of papers. As an officer in the United States Army I have been responsible for training and teaching at many levels. As a new lie

I have graduated from Iowa State University with a major in Finance and minor in Statistics. I have a strong background in math and have taken up to Calculus II. I have experience tutoring Calculus and Statistics at the college level for five semesters. Working with students is something I really enjoy. I have experience working with a non-profit organization at the college level and another one at the elementary school level. I also have mentored children and worked with them at my churches. Every person is different and requires a unique style for learning. I have used many different styles in my experiences, and I tend to use the one that works the best for that individual. Some are visual learners while others need to learn by trial and error. I am easy going, flexible, and patient. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are granted the necessary experiences and surr

I feel that teaching children is a very important field of work. Our young people deserve educational training and experiences which challenge them to grow, intellectually, physically, culturally, socially and academically, regardless of disability or gifting. I am aware of various learning styles and try to adapt my teaching style to individual needs in a calm, patient, active learning setting. It's my purpose to motivate and provide a positive structured learning process where the outcomes are lasting, nurturing a lifelong love of learning,reading and exploring the world around us. I have a strong desire to use my abilities and interests as a professional educator. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Accounting. I have a strong math, reading and social sciences core subject background. Since January of 2010 I have been serving as a substitute teacher in both Pueb

I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences. I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized throug

My teaching style is collaborative; everyone brings some gift to the table. I never forget to thank my students for giving me the opportunity to guide them on their journey. I try to make learning like a story. I weave real-life examples that have relevance in the lives of my students, and examples from popular culture. My strength is to be able to break down complex concepts into their smallest parts, reassembling them in a way that makes the concept easy to understand, yet doesn't make the student feel inadequate. My experience is generally with high school and adult learners and I also am extremely proficient with online learning and designing curriculum for online learning that uses mobile devices and virtual simulations. My doctorate research is in the interplay between real and virtual identity when we go into an online space, making me very adept at teaching anytime, anywhere.

I am interested in working again as a Mathematics Tutor, I've had a very enriching previous experience from former employers at Colorado State University-Pueblo, where I've obtained two degrees, a B.S. in Mathematics and a B.S.B.A. in Economics. I love education and working along with others. I'm very passionate in continually cultivating myself and growing, in fact, my last employer hired me to teach English in Taiwan! It was wonderful experience. My teaching style starts usually with a question to spark and interest, or perhaps another question. I idenify with the audience and that is extremely helpful. I am patient and enjoy when a student finds confidence by learning something new. I use some props and examples to aid a particular subject, and I speak English very well so there is no miscommunication.
