Positive, encouraging teaching style which includes consideration of students' preferred learning style. I have taught languages and literature (German, ESL, and Russian) for more than 25 years. My students at a local community college have earned the top grades in composition. I have taught writing, essay building, literature, public speaking, and foreign language conversation. Student evaluations indicate a high level of student satisfaction with these classes.

During my three years of formal tutoring, I was able to change my tutoring styles to fit the needs of the student. Everyone learns differently and it is important to realize and adjust my tutoring accordingly. During the last three years of my undergraduate college career, I was a Mathematics tutor for student athletes. Although the courses covered while tutoring ranged from basic math to calculus, I am more comfotable tutoring algebra and geometry. I earned my BA with a double major in Mathematics and Russian in just four years. After college, I helped my sister and step-sister with their math and math-related physcis problems.

I have always sought to lead rather than force something upon the student by rote. Most important is to present the information in a way that is both interesting and memorable. It is my experience that people remember things better when they truly understand the process, and have reason to listen to the explanation. My experience in tutoring began in high school when I volunteered for my local library, in a program aimed towards improving students’ reading ability. Having had considerable difficulty learning to read myself, I felt it was important that I attempt to pass this on to others. When I entered Knox College I was focusing on English, and ended up helping my fellow students with writing and editing their papers.

When I worked for Junior Achievement of Greater Birmingham from the Summer of 2005 until the Summer of 2006, I was also exposed to teaching economics in elementary schools. I truly enjoyed this and loved how these young children improved their understanding of basic economic concepts due to my teaching abilities. I moved to Colorado and entered graduate school supporting myself with a teaching assistantship. I didn't like the field I was studying, economics, but loved teaching my sophmores. During the summer of 2007, I also had the opportunity of teaching German to high schoolers via the Upward Bound Program at the Colorado State University. I never thought teaching would fulfill me this much and bring joy to my life. I am passionate about helping students succeed and reach their true potential!! I would describe my teaching style as loving, caring and understanding. I know that everyone

I work well with children. As the mother of eight, I have experience with all ages, and a variety of learning styles. I try to discover each childs strengths and play to those, encouraging individual learning styles. In addition to being a substitute teacher for the Thompson School District, I homeschooled my own eight children for over nine years. During that time, I taught numerous homeschool group classes, including biology, cooking and english.

My tutoring style is that of thorough explanation. I don't give the answers but, rather, coach the individual to determine the answers on his/her own and then provide the theory as to why the answer is correct. I am very compassionate, cheerful, and outgoing, and those personality traits, as well as my passion for learning, teaching and interacting with children of all ages come through in my instruction. I don't think any questions are stupid or unnecessary; rather, I welcome and encourage questioning, as I feel that doing so is an integral part of the learning process. My only formal tutoring experience was during my high school years as a reading tutor for middle school students attending an at-risk school in Tulsa, OK. That said, I have guided, mentored and coached countless fellow students during my college career as well as professionals who have worked either with or for me du

Learning starts with learing about oneself and how you best perform. It is very similar to sports, you start off learning the techniques and then you must learn how you best apply them, and yes it takes practice. I have gathered many tools in my life and they came from all the different activities I have done. One must only keep the eyes open and mind focused to absorb the world around them. I believe that if given the answer the lesson is lost. Sometimes it is frustrating, but training wheels must never be confused with pushing the bike. The 'Ah ha' moment can only be earned not given. All children are different and more they learn about what makes them different, the better prepared they are to know and deal with their strengths and weaknesses. Although I have no formal teaching experience, we all learn and teach everyday in our lives. I am very intelligent and want to pass tha

I am fluent in six languages: French, Russian, Spanish, Italian, German, and English. I attended local schools and lived in those countries as a child, as well as worked overseas for seventeen years. My degrees are a BA in Comparative World Literature and an MA in Russian Literature and Linguistics. I worked as Coordinator and Trainer of the Language Tutorial Lab, training and overseeing tutors as well as tutoring in all six languages. I was a Spanish and French tutor at Borough of Manhattan Community College in NYC. I trained school tutors of English and Spanish in Russia and Vietnam. At CU Boulder, I participated in a semester-long pilot program teaching Spanish to students with dyslexia. I was a mentor for the members of the CU football team who were on academic probation, and tutored the group of 10 in Spanish and English composition. I love teaching children and opening them to t

Teaching comes naturally to me and I have the patience, dedication, warmth and concern that this profession requires. When a student recognizes that you sincerely care about their progress, they are more apt to apply themselves and feel confident in their ability to achieve. I believe in encouraging critical thinking skills, learning by doing, and learning through discovery. Education should be approached with a balance of seriousness and fun! I earned a Bachelor's degree in Public Health Nutrition, which required me to take many science classes, including anatomy/physiology and chemistry. I have had a career as an ESL teacher overseas and in the U.S. For the past ten years, I have gained extensive experience teaching primary and secondary students as well as college students and other adults in classroom and tutorial settings. My classes have included reading, writing, grammar, spea

My style of teaching includes visual explanation (white board or chalk board), oral discussion, and hands-on manipulation when ever possible. I try to use as many teaching styles as possible as not all students learn via the same means. My style is also fexible based on the student I am instructing (age or handicaps). I believe the best way to teach science is to make it a fun and inquisitive experience. I hold a BS and MS in Biology. I started to tutor college student while an undergraduate at Mesa State College.I was awarded the GK-12 Fellowship for two years while at the University of Northern Colorado. This fellowship placed me in k-12 classrooms to aid in teaching sciene. During that time I taught kindergarten, second grade, 8th grade, and 9th - 12th grades.Later I was awarded the GAANN Fellowship and continued to teach colleged level Biology. I have experience in classroom setting,

After graduating from college with a BS degree in Zoology, I chose to serve for two years in the AmeriCorps. A large portion of my responsibilites were teaching in and out of the classroom on the importance of environmental stewardship. I recognized early on the amazing dynamics of teaching and the lives that were changed because of it. After AmeriCorps I spent a majority of my time substitute teaching in three different states - California, Colorado and Idaho. During my time in Colorado, I tutored for a private boarding school. I tutored in math, science, English and even grammar for both local and international students. Part of my tutoring responsibilities were to keep weekly contact through email with the students' teachers and their parents. It has been written about for centuries where one teacher made all the difference in the decisions that a student made for the rest of his

I enjoy working with youth to help them achieve success in many aspects of their lives. The one-on-one attention may be all a child needs to move forward when he/she is struggling in the classroom. I am a patient, detailed, and organized person. I have a great work ethic and strive to show youth that success can be achieved in many different forms. Finding the right motivator and "language" can make all of the difference in a confusing subject. Having earned a master's in psychology, I have extensive knowledge in this area. I have worked on many papers and reports throughout my college years, so I have strong proofreading and grammar skills. I tutored in my high school in many different subject areas and currently help some of my clients with their schoolwork.

My teaching style is showing the kids that they can do anything if they put their heart into it and show effort. I like to give them the tools they need to learn and grow without handicapping them. I believe that I give proper support for a student to work through their weaknesses, and I believe that struggling through a problem will not only increase their learning experience, but will provide a much more rewarding experience and feed the desire to continue to learn. I am good at reading each individual students personality traits and what methods will work best to teach them. I am a very driven and accomplished young adult, obtaining a BS in Chemistry in only three years while tutoring and grading exams for chemistry students and working in various labs. I have almost 3 years of industry experience working as a formulator for the Dial Corporation. I have taken upper level course w
