As a graduate from Brigham Young University (BYU) with two degrees, I am motivated to excel in education and/or business. My first degree was a BA in History Teaching. I have taught in the classroom and worked in other education positions for 8 years. Recently, I completed an MBA at the Marriott School of Management on the campus of BYU. I have worked for Wal-Mart and Toys "R" Us and I completed a project for Marriot International.
I believe most people can learn if they have a desire. Also, I believe most people can teach something they have mastered if they have a sincere desire. I love to impart what I know to others so they can make progress in their life.

A Little Bit About Me...

I really enjoy teaching students how to play the bass. It's a thrill when they have that "Aha" moment and what I'm trying to show them simply clicks. Every student I've ever had has had different reasons for coming to me and therefore I approach each individual differently and I try to tailor each lesson to their needs. One thing I do keep in common with all my students is encouraging them to practice and to think for themselves. Tutoring and private one-on-one lessons are the extent of my experience with teaching and hopefully I can continue to do so for as long as I'm able.
Since the age of 13 I have been playing bass. Since 1993 I've been a self employed bassist, audio engineer, producer and programmer. In addition to performing, I have extensive experience with computer audio/music recording and production. In that time, I have toured the world playing in several different musi ... read more

I believe in a student involvement proactive approach where real life samples are implemented as part of the learning process. To teach is to have people actually take lessons learned and both interact and perform the task that will required so they can internalize the lessons learned.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is a unique opportunity to shape a child’s world. I want to help children achieve their best, and have found that accomplishing this goal is best undertaken by exercising patience, care, and honesty. I believe interacting with all children is very important and having a strong relationship with them will also improve my learning abilities. With the appropriate tutelage, all children can succeed to their maximum potential.
I was very motivated to accomplish a high level of excellence in education, and have earned a BS degree in both Meteorology and Mathematics. Although initially motivated to study meteorology, I took on the additional math major soon after because of my longtime love of numbers. Both majors complemented each other and enhanced my problem solving abilities. Further, both majors have afforded me the opportunity to apply Microsoft Excel to my laboratory ... read more

I believe that one of the challenges in teaching is motivating the students to be interested in learning. I believe that a good teacher who truly wants to instill life-long learning skills in his/her students challenges them by engaging and empowering them to become independent/critical thinkers/problem-solvers rather than making them dependent on him/her or on "route"/"regurgitative" learning. One must find the best approach to present the material and convey the essential elements of a lesson plan or rather “instructional session” in the classroom and the laboratory.

Education and communications are my two passions. I am an international educator with over 25 years of teaching experience worldwide—notably in Africa, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the U.S. I have taught students at all levels –college writing and journalism, middle school literacy, and I’ve worked as an elementary school substitute teacher.

Teaching is not a profession for me, it is a passion and I enjoy teaching particularly young children. To me basically all children are keen learners, but different children have different ways of learning. In fact they need guidance rather than teaching to get a hold on the subject matter. Some of them may be slow starters, but if only they find some one guiding them according to their pace and style, I believe every one can excel without exception. Every child has his potential and one has to tap it. Having been an assessor of personalities, I love interacting with the youngsters and would like to be their guide and friend rather than a teacher so that I can make a difference in their lives.

I believe that there is no one standardized method to teach, rather each individual is unique in their learning abilities. Therefore, while teaching I often gauge how a student is reacting to the lesson they are being taught. Once I have determined what the best teaching strategy is for that individual, I like to write down in detail what steps were taken to reach that solution. By doing this, the student can use these steps as a guide for reassurance. Finally, I encourage the student to use repetition, thereby building confidence in knowing that they have successfully tackled the issue and can continue to do so in the future.
During my time in SUNY Buffalo I took a wide variety of classes which have exposed me to different fields. Specifically, I excelled in those subjects relating to math and writing. As a result of my success, I was able to tutor my peers who were taking t ... read more

I have always enjoyed working with children and believe that they learn best when encouraged to participate in the educational process. My style is to allow them to discover information rather than being force fed. I also believe that every child learns differently and you have to be aware that what works with one person does not necessarily work with the next. I believe that I can be flexible enough that anyone can learn with me.
As an Ivy League graduate, I have always sought the best educational experience possible. I have earned my bachelors degree in Human Developement and Family Studies, a multi disciplinary major which incorporated psychology, sociology and other humanities. Over the last 20+ years I have worked with various populations that have required special attention due to being under educated and/or drug addicited. Although I have little formal classroom experie ... read more
