I have over 5 years of experience working with all ages and all levels in Spanish, dance, and soccer. Just as each age level experiences learning in a different way, each individual learns in a different way. Although I have a few different set methods of teaching each subject, I have worked with enough students to be able to adapt my teaching methods to conform to the learning comforts of the student. I believe anyone can learn Spanish or dance at any age if only taught in a method that works for them. Patience and consideration is of the utmost importance as a teacher of any subject. As a law school graduate I have experience in many different subjects but my passion and teaching experience lies, however, in dance, the sport of soccer, and the language of Spanish (my native tongue). During my college years, I worked as a volunteer teaching the Spanish language to both youth and adults

I have spent my 13 years as an educator in a variety of capacities. I spent four years as a tutor for an autistic child while I was in school. After receiving my bachelor’s degree in education, I worked for three years as the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade alternative school teacher for the Chandler Unified School District. I then worked part-time as the curriculum writer for a residential alternative facility, also opening and teaching in their middle school program. Following that experience, I spent two years teaching Title 1 English at a middle school. I currently own and operate my own business, earning my master’s of education in the process. I have spent most of my career working with children who were unsuccessful in a traditional classroom. Discouraged and failing, many of my students had no recent memory of being successful. By showing them that they were capable learners, the

Any tutors goal is to guide a child to a learning experience within that childs comfort zone. An educator, with a calm and patient demeanor can lead a child to their goal. Laughter and discovery are the heart of educating any student. My goal is to lead a student to his or her potential.

I tutored in ELL for two years in all basic educatiion subjects. I am currently employed by Marana High School/Special Educaation.

As an undergrad I attended Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, a school well-known for its academic excellence, where I studied Christian Education under a group of highly talented professors. While this degree was not a typical teaching degree, it incorporated a significant amount of educational theory, communication skills, and developmental psychology which I have used as a mentor, Sunday school teacher, and tutor. I then attended Fuller Theological Seminary as a master’s student where I studied theology and youth ministry. This program allowed me to further study the developmental issues connected with adolescents, as well as increase my writing and critical thinking skills through the study of theology, philosophy, and history. I have worked with middle school and high school students in a church setting for 9 years. I began tutoring last year, working with elementary and Jr.

As a student, I had the chance to participate in the Americorps program, where I developed and implemented programs for at-risk youth. My programs encompassed but were not limited to, ecology, animal husbandry, writing, reading, and the arts. Since then I have earned two bachelor's degrees, a BA in Education, and a BA in Elementary Education, with minors in communications and liberal arts. Teaching comes naturally to me; I believe that everyone has the potential to be successful, given the right opportunity. Persistence, mutual admiration, and effort are the qualities that I bring with me, and they are all that I ask of the students that I work with. My goal is to make learning less of a duty and more of a stimulating quest, so that I may leave my students with the inspiration to continue learning throughout their lives.

My teaching experience began at a Riverside County Probation Facility for Wards of the court in Banning California. I began there as a Building Maintainance Mechanic and worked my way up to a vocational education teacher. After that I worked at St. Johns School for boys in Cabazon California. While I lived in California I also worked at a Christian High School called Joshua Springs High School where I began teaching a free small wood Shop class and worked my way up to a regular teacher. In all these cases I taught multi-aged multi subjecr classes. When I moved to Arizona I worked for several years at Legacy School in Mesa. There I also taught multi-aged multi-subject classes. My method is to reach students exactly where there at and use methods that would stimulate all types of learners . Once I was teaching a group of sixth graders who would be entering Algebra soon.

I am a very patient and understanding young lady. I love working with people, and helping them to feel better and more confident about accomplishing their goals. Since I am considerate of others, I take into account whatever it is they will need in order to advance their education. As a student myself, I found that I wanted to put in extra effort to learn a subject whenever I had a wonderful and patient instructor who made learning engaging and fun. As a graduate from Cochise College in Sierra Vista, I was a T.A for two years at Center for Academic Success High School (I have a finger-print clearance card). I worked with high-risk teenagers, helped keep them encouraged, and was extremely attentive to their needs. I excelled in helping them with Language Arts and English. In addition to my two AA degrees, I have completed a BA degree in English, with a minor in Theatre.

I have always found the learning process fascinating and feel that there is nothing more satisfying than helping someone master a new skill. I have observed that a good teacher can change lives and make the learning process a positive and empowering experience. I am a student of history and literature, which makes teaching and tutoring these subjects something I enjoy. I have published short stories, so I can guide students in exploring the importance of having language and grammatical skills to express themselves eloquently. I have tutored students in English (first and second language students),Literature, History, Geography, Art History, Art (drawing and Painting) and general reading and writing skills. I strive to make the learning experience something that the student is eager to repeat. I want every student to feel comfortable, confident and capable of achieving huge success becaus

As a special education masters degreed professional, advocate and behavior specialist and a Board Member and WALK event founder and chairperson for the past three years for the Autism Society of America, you can be sure I believe that all students of all abilities should receive an appropriate education that takes into account their strengths, weaknesses, disability if any and learning style. The key to all teaching and learning is motivation. Teachers are challenged to find the correct motivation for each student and strategies to connect with them by connecting the real world to their curriculum and academic goals. Any child can learn, it is just that students need to be met where they are in life and rapport established to plant seeds of motivation and for learning to begin. We all remember those teachers who were kind to us, made the subject matter either fun, interesting or bot

I have had experience teaching that is inquiry-based but have also taught in a more factual style with lecture. I believe that each student has a different style of learning, and I am more than willing to adapt to the child. It is crucial for students to understand all the fundamentals of education, so that higher levels (college) of education will be obtained. I always make sure the student understands the material every step of the way so that they will not fall behind. I also believe that the student must take what they learn and apply it. I also believe that by excelling in certain areas of school and improving, this will give a higher confidence to the students that will be apparent in all areas of school. I graduated with a BS in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. During my college experience at the University of Arizona, I have participated in two programs that allowed me to teach

Teaching is something that comes very naturally to me and I feel very comfortable in doing. I understand that every child has a very unique and individualized learning style. Therefore, part of being a good teacher is figuring out how to tap into each student's style, so that they may be reached at whatever level they are at. It is important to always be patient and gentle with a child during their learning process, as their determination and drive can change depending on your willingness to help them. Each child must feel that you care about their learning and the outcome of their growth in a great way. My goal for each student is to make them feel successful even at the smallest level, so that they may stay focused on always growing in whatever skill they are working on. I am a very dedicated and experienced teacher. With over 10 years of professional and non-professional experie

I graduated with a BA in French and Elementary Education and taught for 4 years in multi-age classrooms. Then I tutored while I stayed home with my children. I resumed teaching 1995 and earned an MAT in Elementary Education in 1998. My experience continued in multi-age classrooms where I taught reading, math, English, handwriting, science, social studies, P.E., art, and music for grades 1-6. I also tutored students after school in remedial reading using Project Read. My approach to teaching is that all children can learn given opportunities in a "safe" environment. I taught many students with learning challenges and I had to individualize their program. I used multiple intelligences to help students learn using their strengths to help them with their weaknesses. It made learning more fun and easier for them to grasp.
