I have completed my B.A. from Regent University in Government. I have strong skills in logic, math, and political philosophy. The program that I completed placed a strong emphasis on reading and writing skills and because of that I have also become proficient in writing and English related processes. I was a tutor at Butler County Community College for almost two years. I helped students through all of the math courses up to Calculus III. I have always been very enthusiastic about learning and always find myself helping others to discover a deeper understanding of a subject. During my time tutoring math, I discovered that there is a necessary balance to allow the student time to process the material without allowing them to get frustrated and giving up. I believe in stretching their mind while providing support to the necessary skills to accomplish the goal at hand. I do great with

When teaching in a classrom environment I prefer to divide the class time between lecture and practice. When tutoring I use a sumwhat different approach. I first will have the student show me how they think they are supposed to approach the problem. I will then work through the problem & let them see where their approach is right & where they need to change. Using this method in a positve manner has proven very successful in the past. While working as a Designer at Boeing Aerospace I taught freshman level technical courses at Butler County Community College in El Dorado, Kansas. I taught there from 1993 thru 1999. My classes included drafting, design, basic 2D AutoCAD, shop math, shop safety & general manufacturing practices.

I love teaching and working with children. I believe elementary teachers are the building blocks for a child’s future, and children are our future. To be an effective practitioner, I will present lessons in a manner that allows your student to learn and grow, incorporating a variety of teaching methods to target the learning style that works best for the student. I will be the best teacher that I can be. I do not know what the future holds for me, but I do know that I want to share my passion for teaching with tutoring children. As an Emporia State graduate, I was very much driven to be a creative planner, a lifelong learner, and an effective practitioner. I have earned my BS in elementary education, and did my student teaching in a first and second grade classroom. I feel that I am very qualified to be a great tutor.

As a native French speaking international student, I came to Emporia State University to obtain an MBA. Upon my arrival, I was offered a Graduate Teaching Assistant position to teach beginning French classes level 110 and 111. I taught during the four year of my academic carrier at ESU. It was a formidable experience and I have learned a lot on how to teach and help students. I have been asked after graduation to tutor a couple students here at ESU. I have discovered that in order to teach French and especially French grammar, most students didn’t know what an adverb, a noun or a subject was. After my first semester at ESU, I changed my teaching methods and I choose to spend more time on the basic and the fundamental and make sure that the students actually understand (the reason (for) the whys). I also believe that students learning a foreign language want to have the practical aspec

I am thankful that I had some "hard" teachers and professors throughout my education. I have honestly grown to understand the importance of success and how nothing worth having comes easily. My approach to learning is straight forward. Who? What? When Where? How? Learning should be fun. However, I donot believe in holding anyones hands. I expect my students to put as much effort as I myself am giving. Yes, every student learns in different ways. It would be my job to discover the best approach for each student. I have earned two degrees. At Georgia Southern University I recieved a B.S. in Nutrition/Food Sciences. While in Statesboro, ga completing my studies I served as an after school tutor for elementary students in the Bulluch County after school program. I recently graduated from Sanford Brown Institute in Atlanta, GA where I earned a degree in Diagnostic Ultrasound Technolo

I love sharing what I know with my students, from elementary to college levels. I am patient, caring and flexible to work with my students’ individual needs. I believe that reading is the key for the young student to develop a variety of experience and thought. Therefore, I focus on encouraging students to gain exposure through reading a wide range of literature. Reading is also essential to being able to write well, which will open doors to future success. I emphasize practice with spelling, vocabulary, grammar, editing techniques and reading comprehension to prepare students to become good writers. As essays and papers become due, I help students overcome their anxieties to find their creativity and learn to develop their themes. I teach English as a Second Language in the evenings to adult immigrants in the Wichita area. This is a very rewarding experience; the students are eager to l

I believe that each and every child is capable of learning. I like to make learning fun and exciting for children by relating what they are learning to the real world. For instance, if I am helping a student learn money value. I might pretend that I am customer purchasing something from the student (cashier). They then have to give me the correct change. I am a very postive and compassionate person that cares deeply about the children I teach. My students sense this and this helps them be more confident in their abilities to learn and in turn more sucessfull. In the past I have worked as both a teachers aide/paraprofessional and substitute teacher for a total of 4 years. While working as a teachers aide I worked with individual and groups of elementary level students on course work throughout the day. This included things like: helping students with math homework, listening to studen

I treat each student as an individual with individual goals and a unique learning style. My strengths lie in teaching fundamentals and being able to find impediments that get in the way of students’ abilities to learn. I am very patient and believe that everyone is able to learn. It is a matter of helping them to find the key to their own abilities. Along the way to an understanding of the material, my hope is each student becomes better prepared to handle the next difficult subject. A teacher’s hope is that her students will grow enough to make her obsolete. I have earned both a bachelor degree and a master's degree in chemistry and was active in research for many years. Because of the many years I've spent in the research lab and writing papers for the chemical literature, I have gained a working knowledge of chemistry, mathematics and physics and teaching has been a part of ev

I enjoy teaching business areas and math -- the subjects were fascinating to learn and are still a joy to explore with students. My favorite moments are "light bulb moments;" it can be frustrating to work on the same thing for a long time, but when a student looks up and finally "gets it," it doesn't matter how long it took. I enjoy working with students to develop a true foundation of understanding early in the material so we can build on it as we work into the more complex areas. However, I also enjoy working with students who may have missed out on building the foundation and need to take a step back--helping them rebuild their confidence is very rewarding. As a student at Oklahoma State University, I worked with my fellow students during my sophomore, junior, and senior years as a peer tutor. I also worked for the Athletic department as a student-athlete tutor. My degrees are

I taught accounting and business math 4 yrs at a business college and community college. In addition I have used extensive grammatical skills in writing audit reports and business letters. I also have many years volunteering in various children's programs. Most recently is five years as Children's Teacher/Supervisor of a weekly preschool program of 35 children ages 2-6, Teaching, in some form, has been a part of my life for the last 20 years. During that time I discovered for myself that students learn in different ways. I believe in a positive and encouraging teaching style utlizing varying explanations. I love instructing one on one and seeing the lightbulb turn on when a student gets it. I am reliable, easy going, and eager to make a differ
