I believe in constructivism. Students learn more when they make their own learning. They need to see the real world application of the material and how it applies to them. I try to create tasks that are hands-on, use authentic materials, and encourage students to collaborate with others and think outside of the box. I have taught high school in three different countries: Germany, UK and USA. I am passionate about foreign languages and social studies, and I care about my students. It is my intention to broaden their horizons and help them reach their potential as students and as human beings.

After several years of coaching and working with children I have learned that my true life calling is to teach children and young adults. I am easy going and friendly and have learned how to quickly build rapport with students. I believe that I can make a difference in children's lives, especially when it comes to education. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Geneva College, I spent time developing my skills with working with children and young adults as a soccer coach. My first experience in the educational field was working as a paraprofessional at a private school for children with autism. I continued my work in education working as a caseworker with my primary focus being truancy and juvenile probation. I am currently in the process of enrolling for a Master's of Education degree which will enable me to teach history at a high school level. My educational skills are especially str

I come from a teaching family, and continue to learn from teachers myself. I feel that because I am still eager to continue to learn new things, I can appreciate a good teacher. I myself need good teachers, and I would not provide a student with anything but that. I am a hard worker and give 110% for every job that needs to be done. While at college, I was a member of the Americorps program in which I completed over 300 hours of community service. During that service, I had roles as both a student and a teacher. I have the experience of working with all types of people and children, and sincerely enjoy working with people in a teaching setting. I am confident that I have what it takes to be the teacher you need. As a recent graduate of Lock Haven University, I have obtained dual bachelor's degrees in both Accounting and Business Administration. Throughout the course of my college career,

As a computer graduate, I worked for many organizations but I am interested in teaching Math, Physics and chemistry to students. I taught math, chemistry to students in susquehanna township high school as a volunteer and continuing it. I love children and teaching to all children. I believe children learn in many ways and have different talents. I like to teach students according to their talents and want to strive hard to for their acedamic exellence.

I have experience tutoring both young children and young adults in private and public settings. I spent a school year teaching two students in grades 2 and 5. I lived in their home in the Philippines and taught all subjects of an American curriculum. I have also tutored kids in a public school (South Ward Elementary School, Longview, TX). My job was to tutor kindergarteners who needed to learn English number recognition and placement, and to work with children in 5th grade who needed individual help to master math and reading skills. I recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in History. During my time in college I developed my composition and research skills, and tutored college exchange students to help them develop these skills. I enjoy teaching anyone regardless of his or her age and level of education. Patience and creative presentation are qualities that help me observe a

While a student at Luzerne County Community College, I was recommended to be a tutor by mathematics professor David Wasilewski. I tutored college students primarily in the fundamentals of algebra and English composition. In 2005, I was awarded the Student Support Service Award for tutoring. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, from King's College and went on to earn a Juris Doctor. In addition to social science courses, I have completed extensive general education courses throughout my college career. My teaching style depends completely upon the level of the student. I will tailor each session to the student's needs. I am a believer in mastering the basics before moving on to the advanced. I also divide (and encourage the student to divide) materials into more manageable steps, making schoolwork much less overwhelming. My goal is for every student I tutor to bec

I have worked as a helping professional for most of the thirty-plus years since I graduated from Haverford College. A significant portion of my employment experience has involved service to school-age children in their role as students. I currently work as a cognitive rehabilitation therapist with people who have survived traumatic brain injuries. I try to help these individuals develop strategies to meet post-injury challenges, especially those related to memory, judgment, organization and time management. I have also coached elementary and junior high girls’ and boys’ basketball teams on a volunteer basis for many years. Any subject can be difficult to master. Each of us brings something different to learning. A tutor may enjoy spectacular success in the short term by applying behavior management principles. I believe that a student’s long- term interests are best served

I graduated from high school as number eleven in rank out of 248. I often assisted other students in both high school and college. Later, as a homeschooling mother of four, I taught all of my children all subjects through the eighth grade level. I just returned from the island of Saipan, where I taught high school English in a private school, and seventh grade English in a public school. I presently am a certified substitute teacher in the Cumberland County, PA, public school system, where I teach almost all grade levels and subjects. I far prefer private tutoring over formal teaching, as I believe my abilities are put to their greatest use in that setting. I absolutely love working with students one-on-one. It's what I do best. Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or toddler

My teaching style is one in which I find ways to relate content to the students' everyday lives. I like to balance textbook knowledge with practical applications and cultural relevance. I also am a firm believer in planning lessons that require higher order thinking skills yet do not become overwhelming. Since the beginning of the era in which the special education population has began being mainstreamed into regular education classrooms in most schools, I have developed a great practice of differentiated instruction. I also am aware that there are people who are a specific learning style as well as the people that are a combination of any two or three learning styles. That's who I teach for. I like to tell people that i did not choose teaching; rather I believe it chose me. I have always worked with children that were struggling whether it was socially or academically. I was typically w
