In high school, I helped to pilot and served as captain of the Speech and Debate team (National Forensics League). I also worked as a Teacher Cadet. I took four years to volunteer at an educational center after high school where I completed an advanced course in public speaking. I was a full-time volunteer minister for 15 years total, and I dedicated much time to working with troubled and at-risk youths. For a year, I volunteered with Lapsits for Literacy. I have experience te

I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Worship Leadership, and am currently working on a Master's in Elementary Education. I am also currently teaching myself Spanish and Mandarin. I have exceptional skills in grammar and writing, and I received a perfect score on both the Reading and English sections of the ACT in high school. My degree was writing-intensive, so I have extensive experience with writing research papers. In the past four years, I have taught piano, percussion, guitar, voice, and worked with K-3rd grade students after school at a local elementary school. I have also helped many students learn how to study properly (what to focus on, how long to study, where and when to study, etc). I am very passionate about teaching children. I am patient but firm, and focus on encouraging and building confidence. I am excellent at breaking down difficult concepts in a way that ch

Following the birth of my third child, I taught at her pre-school and caught the teaching "bug". I then completed a graduate program in Elementary Education, taught for one year in the public school system in Florida and then taught for one year in Alabama. I have the ability to help children struggling in reading to make great strides and as a result, gain the self-confidence to do well in school. I believe in a "hands-on" approach as we all learn better by doing than watching. My goal is for a child to like school, like learning, and know he/she can do anything given a little hard work. I believe a "hands-on" approach is the best way to retain knowledge given all learning styles. If we do it, we will remember it. If learning is considered fun, we want to do it and all subject areas can have an element of fun. Positive reinforcement within a structured environment is my style of

I have been a substitute teacher for the last 25 years in different areas of the country where I have moved. I home-schooled my 2 children for 12 years mostly when I lived in Alaska. My strongest area of teaching is in English, and taught high school English as a full-time temporary position for a teacher on pregnancy leave. I have a B.S. degree in Business Administration and am very well qualified to fulfill your tutoring needs. I recognize that every student has different needs when it comes to learning styles. I have the resources to help my evaluation in recognizing your child learning style. It is my goal to help your child achieve his/her greatest potential without causing undue stress in each lesson. Learning should be fun.

I have a Bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences. I have taken courses such as Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Physics and Comparative Anatomy, and Mammailian Physiology. I also taught the labs for the Microbiology for three years and also taught the labs for Comparative Anatomy for a year. I worked with hundreds of students and throughly enjoyed that time with my students. I worked first hand with professor and teaching assistant and have learned what they are looking for. I believe in teaching concepts and helping students fully understand ideals rather than students just memorizing facts. This way no matter what the professor asks they will know how to answer questions and ace exams. If they just memorize things, they can get confused and get answers distorted. I believe in hands on learning and teaching. I would m
