Encouraging youth and children to reach for their full potential is my life passion. I am a profoundly patient individual with a gift of encouragement. I possess a fervent belief in each person's extreme worth. My belief drives me to draw out the abilities and gifts I recognize in others, especially young people. While I am passionate and enthusiastic, I am also self controlled and gentle in my teaching approach as it is called for. My life mission is to benefit every person I have an opportunity to spend time with.
I am a passionate mentor of youth and children in a church setting. For 5 years I have mentored a youth group of 12-25 junior high and high school students.

My greatest teaching philosophy (though I cannot claim it to be original), is "Can't never could!" This is such an important concept, for students as well as their teachers and tutors. Without belief in the student on the part of the teacher or tutor, I feel that a student is more likely to fail. I believe in optimistic approaches and positive reinforcement in the teaching process. This tremendously helps a student succeed. I understand that it is not always possible for a student to gain understanding of a concept in one sitting. Every child should be given opportunities for expansion and growth. I will help every child I work with in every way I can towards their goals.
I am currently attending ITT-Technical Institute in Jacksonville, Florida for an A.S. in Computer Aided Drafting and Design. I currently have 72 completed credit hours. My college grade point average is curre ... read more

I believe the greatest asset to learning for anyone at any age is learning "how" to learn. I like to use modern techniques and ideas to creatively teach a child or adult a new concept. I am patient and unique.
I have a passion for teaching and as such opened a tutoring service that I ran for four years. I hold a Bachelors of General Studies from Valdosta State University and will graduate with my Master of Business Administration in May 2010. I excel at tutoring in English, sociology, psychology, mathematics, science, literature, and social studies.

In my experience as a substitute teacher in the Irving Texas School District I gained a new passion for the struggle that children face everyday. To actually see first hand that no child is left behind was not only challenging but rewarding. During my two years of service I learned that it not only takes a commitment of time beyond measure but also a great responsibility of the heart to continue until you make a difference.
My teaching style is one of encouragement and positive reinforcement. I always conveyed the importance of good study habits and how vital it was to their success. I taught them that education is an ongoing process with failure as well as successes, but whatever the outcome, they must always put forth their best effort. My primary purpose in this diverse teaching style was to establish a positive rapport the students and be able to bring out their hidden poten ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Over the years (as undergrad and graduate), I have tutored middle school and elementary age students in various subjects. I have also been a resource for undergrad and graduate health science students while serving as a graduate assistant (public health master's program). I proctored exams and held tutoring and review sessions prior to testing. I have two master's degrees, three undergraduate degrees, and experience as a paramedic, nurse, and substitute teacher.
I believe in completing an individual needs assessment and designing a study approach around that assessment. I believe in constant reinforcement and reassessment. I also believe it is useful to utilize as many and as varied forms of instruction as possible (written, audio-visual, demonstration, etc.) to solidify a concept. Promoting thorough understanding rather than route memory and recognition skills is paramount.

A Little Bit About Me...

I, Chad Hanson started out teaching private piano lessons after I grauated from college. I have nine years of experience in the line of work. I also have one year experience as a teacher's assitant, and one year as a teacher's position. I would like to continue my experience in the field of tutoring. I received 30 hours of social studies which is state required for middle school and high school teacher's certificate. I have also obtained 19 hours of mathematics which is required for middle school.
Most of my teaching style is based on one to one teaching. I also have two years of experience teaching in a group. Most of my teaching style has been one on one. When I was working a teacher's position each student was working on a different level. But I did include several activitites that were on the same level of the whole class.

All students have the ability to learn, but they do not learn the same way. It is the job of the teacher or tutor to evaluate each child's learning style and adapt the lessons or activities to the student's individual needs, so that they can be successful. Over the years, I have learned many ways to adapt lessons and meet these necessary needs. I am patient, creative, and determined to enable students to learn. I have learned to modify my techniques if they do not meet the needs of the student. I have a positive attitude and expect success when I work with my students. It is such a wonderful experience to assist a student in achieving success!
I earned a Bachelor degree in Special Education from the University of North Florida. I currently teach at Mt. Herman Exceptional Student Center. I teach Intellectually Deficient students, ranging in age from 15-20 years old. I also ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As I was taking college courses, I also taught swimming lessons, after earning the ARC Lifeguard and WSI certificates. I also tutored grade school children during college in basic subjects. In college I also tutored other college students in basic English, as my major was communication and I have a fairly strong command of English. I also have experience in the newspaper industry and thoroughly enjoy helping people. I completed my BA in 2002.
I like to see what works for each person since everyone has their own way of learning. Then, I use whatever works best for them. Making students comfortable is important since they're more open to learn in that environment.
