All through my career my focus has been to teach to the needs of the individual student. I believe that learning is fun. I believe that all students can learn, given the proper encouragement. I have fun when I teach. I have very high expectations for my students, all of which have experienced some sort of difficulty in the educational system. My classroom is a place of smiles, laughter, and achievement. As a tutor, I bring the same beliefs to the table. I have two main objectives for any student: to create a positive, encouraging learning environment; and to help the student find his personal learning style and train him to use it efficiently. If you’re looking for someone to help cram for a test, I’m not your man. I was born into a Christian farm family in Hartford, Alabama, in 1952. After earning a B.

I know children learn in different ways and incorporate several techniques that engage all children. I am elated to see the light go on when children "get it." I incorporate creative sayings or phrases to help remember formulas; or procedures for solving problems. I enjoy working with all ages. I easily earned two Associates degrees, prior to earning my Bachelors degree, graduating Cum Laude. I excelled in Mathematics as well, and enjoy tutoring it as well. My English 101 and 102 professor encouraged me to major in English as well, but I was so involved in science classes for physical education, I opted not to add the other major. I was the president of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and a member of the USA-Today All Academic Team.

Experience and education in child psychology and child development has furthered by breadth of knowledge in the special education field. I have had positive communication and working relationships with both parents and co-workers. Sixteen years teaching has seasoned my teaching skills and has given me the opportunity to employ different collaborative methods with fellow teachers and administration. I have been successful implementing a wide range of educational techniques and media in order to address the different learning styles of students. I have had the opportunity to teach students with disabilities coping skills, self advocacy and adaptive methods of learning and retaining information. In step with my 8 years teaching in a Montessori School and being a special needs teacher, I am in tune and aware of many different learning styles. In my classroom I was very successful in a

I believe that every child has the ability to learn, but each child has a different way in which they have able to learn. As a teacher it is my responsibility to find out and realize the best way for each child to be taught. As an elementary school teaching I have an expertise in all subjects taught between Kindergarten and sixth grade. I have experience teaching Kindergarten, First, Second and Fourth grade. For the past two years I have gone through extensive in-service work with my school district on reading instruction. I have experience teaching ESE and ESOL students, along with regular education students.

As a former U.S.Army academics instructor, I have taught several hundred students from many countries in South and Central America as well as Mexico. The academic program for these students was conducted exclusively in the Spanish language. I have received extensive education in technical terminology, lesson plan preparation, classroom conduct, and teaching aid operation. As a high school substitute teacher, I was able to implement my military experience into civilian use with a high degree of success. I am a native of Puerto Rico. I learned English as a second language at the age of 11 years old. I recall the difficulty I had in learning the English language while at the same time trying to make it through the 5th grade. The task was frustrating and often overwhelming. The few teachers who made the effort to tutor me individualy were the ones who made the difference in my academic life.

I truly believe all children can learn. I am very student-centered as I know that each child learns in different ways. I have a minor in Psychology which I use to help me understand the psyche of the child. Behavior is a very important aspect in learning and I employ Positive Behavioral Supports and an individual approach to every child. I am a strong believer in using real-life problems, manipulatives, and engaging activities that use all the senses. As a graduate from a rigorous teacher training program at USF, I learned many skills and techniques to to teach students of all ability levels and ages. I had many opportunities throughout my college career to practice and experience teaching students from large groups to one-on-one settings. I was a recipient of the Michelin Scholarship Grant which allowed me to go to local Title 1 Middle Schools and tutor at-risk students. I was also re

I am a graduate level professional, who has gained a great amount of experience working with children with disabilities. I have a Educational Specialist degree in School Psychology and have worked in numerous schools to help children achieve academically. I worked as an instructional aide for three years in both special education and general education classrooms. I have tutored children with learning disabilities and autism in the areas of reading, writing and mathematics. I believe that all children can learn. Perseverance, repetition and effort are the keys to academic success. My patient and consistent style of tutoring allows children to learn from their mistakes, without becoming discouraged. Children learn in different ways and having an open minded approach when tutoring can open the doors to understanding and accomplishment.

Having worked with children for many years in versatile environments, I have learned that every child has a unique way of learning. One may need visual representation, while another comprehends better via audio learning. Some children retain more information through hands-on activities while it is easier for another to read the material. Whatever the case may be, I revise my methods to better suit the needs of each child. Our future is dependent on the children of today. With patience and instruction, their potential can shine through. Working towards my B.S. in environmental studies I had the opportunity to work as a high school tutor in mathematics and science. I worked with children in a traditional manner, tutoring them after school by working through homework problems and past test/quiz questions. After graduation I began educating children at a nature center in a less traditio

I am a lover of learning. My love for learning has certainly attributed to my working my way through a Masters of Arts in Teaching. My enthusiasm for helping others to learn has been most heightened; however, through my experience working with students. I have worked in multiple roles at the elementary school level through collegiate level. Every position I have worked in I have loved because of the students. Each person has their own learning needs and own challenges. I love being a part of working through those challenges and finding understanding and success. I find that teaching is as much about getting to know each person, finding there strengths and weaknesses and using those to benefit them in their process of understanding. I like to come up with creative approaches that will suit each individual's strengths for learning. I know that one on one attention, support and encouragemen

While an undergraduate at Colorado State, I taught various levels of chemistry laboratories for 4 semesters, which included both teaching credits and paid work. I spent one year as a graduate student at the University of Michigan in which I taught general chemistry recitation and a laboratory section. I also was involved in a class that was designed to educate future professors on the field. I spent one semester tutoring various math levels at the Community College of Denver. I believe that I have learned proper use of the English language through authoring a journal article and writing my master's thesis. My teaching style has evolved throughout the years, especially depending on the type of student, but has always included plenty of preparation and making sure I know how to work through each question properly in order to explain from more than one angle how to answer.

I currently tutor two children at my local elementary school that are below level/struggling readers.I have been learning how to teach all five areas(reading, math, social studies, art, science, and language arts) that are part of a child's learning experience. I am very excited to student teach in the Spring of 2011 and start helping children more by tutoring. I have worked as a substitute teacher over the past few years in Washington County and have worked in all the grade levels. I am a very hands on type person and encourage students to use manipulatives, pictures, or various other visual aids that may help them further understand the concepts that are being mastered.

I have learned that teaching is the activity of educating or instructing. It is the process of imparting knowledge or skill. It's about not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. Teaching is about caring for your craft, having a passion for it, and conveying that passion to everyone, most importantly to your students. A teacher is a person, who educates others. A Good teacher will listen, question, is responsive and remembers that each student and each class is different. As a graduate and substituting, I am driven to become a proud member of the Masters program in Education. I have extensive experience on school improvement committees and after-school activities/programs. I have years of experience teaching grades K-12.
