I came to teaching as a second career when I realized I was not happy in local politics. I earned a degree in Secondary Education with English certification grades 5-12. I have taught in rural as well as urban schools and schools in between. I have a strong command of grammar and reading comprehension skills. I have lead students in debate teams as well. I am very straightforward in my style. I really enjoy doing things my way and seeing how the student responds. If the response is not positive then I modify and try again until we get it right. I am very much an auditory person myself so I am very verbal and love to talk things through.

I tutored a fellow student in Finite Mathematics during college for one semester. I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology, working hard to finish my degree in three years. I recently took online classes in order to achieve my Masters of Science in Education. I have worked as a general paraprofessional in elementary schools for two years and a one-on-one paraprofessional for the last year. I have taught sunday school and afterschool church programs for at least three years and am very involved in my own children's schooling. Through all of my work related experience, teaching has been the one thing that I loved and felt completely comfortable doing. I believe that every child can learn, but that they often need individual attention and a variety of strategies and techniques used in order to find the one that fits. I teach most often in an investigations approach, learning thr

I have two children of my own and understand that all people learn in their own way. I have proven success with helping children find the way to learn that works best for them. Both of my kids are in the talented and gifted programs at school. I am patient but firm and do not like to waste time or money. I love to watch a person figure it out and see the confidence building smile when the ideas finally start to click. My goal is to teach a person to learn on their own, think on their own and realize that they can accomplish anything once they learn how. I have extensive experience in the field of Business Management particularly in Accounting. I graduated from Rockhurst University, a Jesuit University well known for its business graduates. I have owned my own business and worked as an independent contractor for the last six years in the Kansas City area. I have spent time volunteer

As a lover of learning, I enjoy helping students reach their full potential. I am also very aware that often students are reluctant to put forth strong efforts in academia. I have a very understanding style; an ability to connect with reluctant students who have decided that school is not so important to them. Being able to gain the trust and respect of students is extremely necessary. I have discovered that students who respect and value “their” teacher/tutor work hard to please that tutor. That desire to win approval helps to increase the student’s own self confidence; success becomes a win-win habit. I am a lover of learning. I began my teaching and tutoring as a home school father. One of the goals I set for my children, and later my students, is that of understanding the idea of self-direction. Helping students grasp onto the responsibility habit has shown to be a very strong founda

While in high school I completed two years in a practicum that put me in a classroom working one on one with students my junior and senior years.

I am trained in a variety of teaching techniques and pride myself on being able to work through the strategies with students to find one that will work. I do believ

Graduating in 2007 with a BA in English as well as a BA in Philosophy demonstrates the motivated and hard working student I was.

I have experience teaching all levels and ages of students. As a teacher I have perfected my grammatical and writing skills as was demanded by my students. Learning doesn’t have to be boring!

Throughout my education, English and writing have always been my best subjects. I am currently a junior at Rockhurst University studying children's speech therapy, and I have 2 years experience teaching English as a second language in Thailand. I have tutored many students of all ages while working abroad, and my experiences have developed into a passion for helping others become better in all subjects. I love working with children, and over my many years of being in school I have witnessed all types of teaching styles. When I began teaching myself, I developed a style that allows the children to think for themselves in order to gain academic success. My goals are to provide the student with the critical thinking skills necessary to solve problems and reach their true potential.

I recently completed graduate work in English at Texas A&M University, where I studied primarily in the digital humanities and digital pedagogy: I wrote my master's thesis on the new role of images in digital studies and worked on a project dealing with the integration of blogs and wikis in composition classrooms. I obtained assistantship positions for both of my two years at Texas A&M, first working as the assistant editor for Kosmas, a peer-reviewed journal, then teaching two sections of English 104, a composition class for college freshmen. My GPR in graduate school was 4.0. I received my bachelor's degree from a small yet renowned liberal arts college, the University of Dallas, to which I received a full tuition scholarship. I tutored, reported for the campus newspaper, and worked for the school library during my undergraduate years, and graduate cum laude with a degree in English. I

I prefer a student-centered approach to teaching, especially when teaching French. This means that I guide students through the information, allowing them to explain and process the subject primarily on their own which in turn encourages deeper comprehension and better retention. I'm very patient and enjoy interjecting humor when possible into my lesson plans. Having been both a student and a teacher, I know that a person will only learn when they are willing to do so, so I try to make the learning process fun and engaging. French tutoring available for those who want to learn the basics of French grammar and become more conversational. My qualifications include a BA in French, MA in French literature and 2 years' experience teaching French to college-level students. Lessons are catered to your needs (what you want to learn) and your skill level. I also have significant experience writi
