I feel it is important to meet the needs of each student. Differentiated instruction is utilized since students are individuals and possess their own learning styles.

Coming from a family of academicians, and a father who has a doctorate in education, I learned to love learning at an early age and have always valued education and try to instill that in others. I am proficient in many areas and work well with all people from all walks of life, at varying levels. My experience comes from being in a helping profession, in which I assisted hundreds of people live up to and achieve their highest potential. Having three children of my own with varying learning styles, as w well as working with other children and adults, enhanced my my ability to understand individuals and how they learn. I take a non-judgmental approach, and start where the student is at. Putting a client at ease and forming a trusting connection with the tutor, is vital to the ultimate success of tutoring, (as well as competency in the subject matter.)

I try to work with students to find connections between different aspects of the material that we're working on as well as to find connections to other subjects. I find that by relating specific topics to broader perspectives on a subject as well as related subjects, the student can gain a greater appreciation for the coherence and importance of a particular subject area. I have experience working with students who are advanced and seeking supplementary tutoring as well as with students who are having difficulty with a subject. I have tutored mathematics as well as chemistry, biology, physics, and other subjects. I have tutored students from a range of ages and I worked with my first student over four years ago while I was in college.

Currently completing a double major (english/psychology) at the University level. I graduated in the top 10% of my high school class with Honors/AP credit. I have been a strong student all through out my educational career with a passion for learning and teaching others. I have previous experience tutoring in both English, ESL, and Math, working with students K-12 and some college level. I prefer to let my tutoring sessions to be student led. What that means is that rather than treating the sessions like a teacher-student interaction, I let the student take responsibility for the work they want to improve. I have found that students who take control of their own education as opposed to being told to do so perform much better.

With my experience in many classrooms, I am a firm believer that all children can learn. However, each child has different needs, and they will learn in different ways. As a teacher, I try to provide instruction in a variety of ways to accommodate to a variety of learners. Many struggling students will succeed if material is taught in a different form. Hands-on and discovery learning are both excellent ways of adapting for students. I believe the best way to teach a child is to get to know them and their interests, and provide instruction in a way that fits their needs. I knew from a young age I wanted to be an educator, and I have taken every opportunity to help students. In high school, I volunteered in 8th grade and 1st grade classrooms. I also taught religious education for 3 years. Throughout my college years, I worked in a variety of classrooms. I spent a majority of my practicum h

I do my best to determine how each child learns and tailor my instruction accordingly. I realize not everyone processes information in the same way and work hard to vary my teaching methods as needed. If a student is struggling, I seek input from the student and their parents. I believe students should have an active role in their own education and encourage them to give me feedback. Parental involvement is also something that is very valuable. I have a broad range of teaching experience. I've worked with students with behavior and developmental disorders, English Language Learner students, and a wide variety of ability and age levels. My previous positions allowed me to work in both rural and urban areas with students and families from various social, economic, and educational backgrounds.

Before my selection in the Fulbright Program to come to teach Arabic here at UNL, I was teaching French and English for high school students until I got my Bachelor's degree in 2008. With the Fulbright program, I went through various workshops on teaching skills. I learned crucial teaching techniques that have been impacting my career as well as my students'. I am currently a Teaching Assistant at UNL working at the Department of Classics & Religious Studies and pursuing my Masters' Degree at the History department. I still recall the early days when I was wrestling with foreign languages. Our French teacher had a positive impact on my teaching skills in that each time she made me feel that I need to put myself in the student's place to get the message across. Trying to come up with different examples to convey the same message. Most importantly, learning a foreign language needs patienc

For the past seven years I have been tutoring all levels of English and ESL both privately and at Fullerton College in California, where I received my CRLA Master Tutor certification and compiled an extensive workbook explaining concepts of English grammar. During my time as a tutor, I have learned to adapt to different learning styles, and have worked with students of all levels including those with disabilities. My background in American Studies has been a valuable asset to my tutoring because the discipline requires rigorous research and analysis. In addition to sharp critical thinking skills, I possess a firm grasp of grammar and mechanics as well as conceptual and organizational tactics, which are the foundation of good composition. As a tutor meeting a student for the first time, I feel it is best to create a common bond with a friendly approach, getting to know the tutee’s specifi

I am passionate about helping children engage in education. My previous experience of organizing summer tennis camps and coaching has provided me with this passion. Coaching children and watching them improve has set the foundation for me to understand different techniques necessary to keep children motivated while continually striving for improvements. Through my direct college education, tennis coaching license, and tutoring international students has given me the tools to teach groups of distinct diversity. I am confident that my college education at the University of Nebraska, interpersonal skills, direct work experience and passion for education and further learning make me a great candidate for this exciting opportunity. I am a former student-athlete at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I was a member of the Husker Tennis team. During those five years I tutored English to a

I am an old school educator; my students learn the whys behind the hows. I absolutely love knowledge and plan to continue my education for as long as I can. I am currently working on a PhD in Fiction Writing at UNL, but I nearly have a BA in History, and would like to turn that into a Masters as soon as I can. I've been teaching English Composition, Literature and Creative Writing since 1998, and my students are winning awards left and right. I'm well read and aware of haptic, audio and visual learning styles as well as being adept in discovering possible learning disabilities. I try to employ "active learning" with call and response lecturing. I also encourage students to identify how they learn, by noting their own strengths such as linear or circular thinking. I also help them identify how they learn the best and encourage research, research, research as well as using games and multip
