Every child can learn, but they don't all learn the same way

I have been teaching for over 10 years. I am currently a second grade teacher. I tutor during the summers and have students of all ages, including middle school and high school. I believe all children can learn. It takes a special teacher to find out how a child learns and create lessons to engage that learning style. What works for one student doesn't always work for every student. I am a loving and positive teacher by nature. I strive to be a teacher that my students will remember for life, because our time was such a positive impact on their success.

My comments on tutoring Earth Science : Do you really need a tutor for this? Read your book!

When you study a biological concept your study process needs to be organized. Most of my tests when I started taking upper level courses covered over at least 100 to 200 pages in the textbook. You need to learn how to break it down in to smaller sections while using your notes from class to predict the most important information to know thoroughly for your next test. The ability to predict what will be on your test is what separates A from C students. I can also help you cram like a pro if your in a jam.
I have a degree in biology. I was planning on going to medical school at one point so I focused on human anatomy and human physiology. I also took advanced mammalian physiology 1 and 2 for graduate credit. I made A's in all of these courses. I took an aquatic entomology course one summer and decided to focus more on ecology and zoology. I have taken invertebrate zoology, aquatic ec ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping children achieve their educational goals. I am a firm believer in giving back to our communities through helping children that are struggling academically. My style of teaching in through facilitating and allowing the pupil to engage the thought process. I have an analytical style personality. Therefore, I like to help students discover the processes behind learning new material. I don't believe there are any subjects that are particularly harder than other subjects. I believe in inspiring students to becoming naturally inquisitive about the unknown.
As an MBA graduate, I have a level of success in business and business management. I have earned a B.S. in Organizational Management with a minor in Mathematics and an M.B.A. in Organizational Leadership. Prior to moving to Oklahoma, I attended Fort Valley State University and carried double majors of Mathematics ... read more

I believe all children can learn. What I have learned is that tapping into an aspect of the child's interest and using that to build the foundation for their learning is the best way to teach. Piaget called the idea that kids learn by building upon what they already know "constructivism," and I consider myself a constructivist. I also believe that a teacher's attitude makes all the difference. I became a teacher to make a difference, and I am willing to do whatever I can to tap into a child's potential! All kids are special and have something they can do that no one else can do the way they can.
I have loved education since I was a child, and being the daughter of two educators gave me a lot of early learning opportunities. I have a Bachelor's of Science in Education from Northeastern State Univeristy. I was a para professional for 5 years and worked with special education c ... read more

My teaching style is based largely on the priority academic student skills for Oklahoma. I have used Alpha Plus, Study Island, Destination Success by Riverside, Literacy First, You Can Learn, and Buckle Down software and written materials. I utilize several self motivating materials. I teach them how to acquire relevant data, how to retain it,and retrieve prior knowledge. My strength, is giving students a sense of pride, accomplishment, and building their self esteem. I have a great deal of patience with children who want to avoid learning. I have never taught a child that has not made their impact in my own life.

Hello, I am a graduate from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelors degree in Chemistry, as well as a minor in Business. Receiving a top-notch education from an accredited university, allowed me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. I scored a 5 on AP Calculus in high school and ranked 12 out of 496 students. Back in high school, math and science homework were never a chore, rather i enjoyed doing it. This also allowed me to better my skill set at the university. I have learned essential skills in other areas as well including writing research papers, faster reading skills, and better note-taking skills. I have been an elementary tutor in the past and I am very patient when it comes to teaching.
Teaching, for me, is very therapeutic. I love working with children of all ages. I am very flexible and patient when it comes to tutoring students. With me, a genu ... read more

I believe that all students learn differently and should be treated as so; with this being said i believe that each student should work at their own pace and should be helped to find strategies that help them learn.
I currently have a bachelors degree in sociology with a minor in elementary education. During the past 4 years and working in the early childhood education industry I realized that many teachers were not getting the proper training that they needed to receive to help the children that they are serving. Once I realized this I decided to work on my Master's degree in Early Childhood Education in hopes that i could be an Early Childhood College Professor and teach students the ins and outs of the early childhood industry. While getting my bachelors degree I tutored in subjects such as reading,writing, math, and science as well as art.

More About This Tutor...

During my last year of college, I was employed by my university as a science/math tutor. During this year I was able to help students with their science problems of all levels. During my time in college I was involved in reading biomedical research papers.I was able to attract many students interested in the biomedical research field to learn how to read research papers. I was very proud of myself for this due to the high difficulty first year graduate students have reading these papers.
My teaching is based on lecture explanation. During teaching/tutoring I encourage my students to ask questions. At the end of the lesson I provide problems related to the related material. Assign homework for next class session.

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and am comfortable teaching students of all ages. I've learned from tutoring that each student learns in a different way. The great thing about one-on-one or small groups is that the teaching style can be adapted to what 'clicks' with the student. Some need a big-picture, overview explanation before delving into the details, others need a step-by-step methodology. I believe that every study has the potential to learn if they keep trying and don't become discouraged. Often times, discouragement is the biggest barrier in learning. As a teacher/tutor, I believe patience plays a key role in my success. I'm a natural optimist and hope my positive thinking spills over to the students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe teaching style depends on the student, and that student's learning style. A key element to determining this is knowing where the student's strengths lie--auditory, visual, or tactile-kinesthetic learning styles require different approaches, but a combination of the three enhances the overall understanding achieved.

More About This Tutor...

I have had a wide range of teaching experiences. I have taught in the public school as well as private school. I have tutored children from the grades of kindergarten through fourth grade. I have taught overseas as well where the population was mainly Asian students.
I like the one on one aspect of tutoring. I enjoy teaching, but I really like tutoring because I get to know the child and am able to help him/her with his or her specific area of need. I like to make learning fun by playing learning games with the student. I am a Christian and I believe all children are unique and have their own abilities. I believe a child can accomplish anything to the best of their ability if he or she puts his or her all into it. I want to see children succeed and feel confident in who they are as a person.

While studying physics at the University of Texas, I was exposed to a variety of educational experiences. My course work provided me with extensive study in mathematics and in physics courses designed for science majors. Also, I worked in the Lecture Demonstrations office, which provided working demonstration props for use in lower division physics courses taught to students of both science and non-science backgrounds. In addition, I was employed by the UT Learning Center as a tutor for mathematics and physics which honed my skills as teacher as well as student. These skills were then put to work as both independent tutor and as a teacher of mathematics at the secondary level.

I am a laid-back person, with the desire to help others. I am a believer of Lev Vygotsky and his theory of scaffolding. This style of teaching and learning purposes to challenge children with giving them a task that it too hard to complete alone, but can be easily achieved with assistance. As the children learn, the tasks are graduallyincreases to a higher level to facilitate a higher degree of learning.
I have been an informal tutor for various aged children, family members, and peers for at least one year. I have assisted others with general biology, elementary science, life science, chemistry 1, pre-algebra, and algebra 1. I have taken several classes in education, which gave me the necessary skills in order to be a successful tutor. I have a bachelor's degree in Biology, with chemistry from general chemistry 1 through organic chemistry one, several psychology classes, and a hav ... read more
