A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that the teacher's most important job is to present material in a way that makes learning fun and interesting. Everyone learns best in different ways, and it is important to remember this when tutoring or teaching. Whereas some learn best with visualizations, others learn by listening. I love finding new and creative ways to present a lesson or concept. I have a passion for teaching and hope to be an educator for the rest of my life.
I have always loved teaching and working with kids. I have volunteered at a number of places that allowed me to exercise my ability to tutor and mentor children ages 5-17. Since high school, I have volunteered at a local preschool. This past summer, I spent time in Honduras teaching English at an orphanage. I have a very concrete understanding of English and Spanish grammar, and I have spent the last four years studying writing at Grand Valle ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe all students can be successful. I understand that all students learn in different ways and I enjoy looking for new ways of teaching subjects to students that they will be engaged in and truly understand. I like to meet with the students regularly to get an understanding of what their specific needs are or areas they are struggling with. I believe students need to be treated individually and given goals that we can reach to attain.
In 2003, I achieved a Bachelor of Education degree from Grand Valley State University. I truly enjoy working with students and assisting them in become successful in every area of their education. Currently I tutor students in Math and English and like challenging students to really think and work hard at accomplishing their goals. When possible I like to create lessons that are applicable to life skills or are something that is hands on.

I really enjoy teaching and using a variety of educational methods to reach students. Some students respond much better to one-on-one teaching methods than they do in a larger class environment. I have had many successful tutoring experiences in the past with a variety of students (even those classified as having learning disabilities).
I currently work and teach at the International School of Tegucigalpa. I am a high school world history, psychology and comparative government. I have also taught economics at the high school level. I have tutored students in Language Arts at the high school and middle school letters. I am also literate in Spanish.

More About This Tutor...

I am passionate about communication, and find the opportunity to do so in multiple languages compelling. I am flexible, able to work with people of many different learning styles, with an ability to re-phrase lessons for students that may not grasp a topic at first glance. Learning a second language requires confidence and patience, which I hope to be able to share with my students. Practice and encouragement are also vital, both of which I can readily and gladly offer. In addition, I would love to share my knowledge of literature with students in Spanish or English. From William Shakespeare to Carlos Fuentes, I have studied and analyzed countless works of drama and literature, and find all kinds of analysis and composition fascinating.
Since achieving a Bachelors in Spanish at Grand Valley State University, I have worked in a human services environment. As a bilingual professi ... read more

At the University of Tampa I earned a BS in Biochemistry. While completing my degree I became knowledgeable in many areas of math and science. I also gained skills in grammar while writing research papers, lab reports, and essays in various classes. I worked in the academic center for excellence on campus for two years tutoring fellow students in chemistry, biology, genetics, and mathematics.
I love to help people, and I thrive in relationships with others that leave a meaningful impression on both the giver and the receiver. I personally have always tried to achieve academic excellence, and I love to assist others in doing the same. I am a good listener, patient, easy going, and understanding. I recognize that all students learn differently, and I try to tailor my teaching to the individual student's learning style and needs.

More About This Tutor...

I specialize in language, with instruction in English, Spanish, and French. I have a passion for bringing out the best in each student. I teach ESL to speakers whose primary language is not English, by emphasizing practical speaking exercises and encouraging the timid with humor! I am passionate about language learning of all kinds; English, French, and Spanish, studying French and Spanish in college. I share this enthusiasm with my students, with great results. I believe the most important part in students being good speakers, I believe, is developing a genuine foreign accent. As an extensive traveler in Europe and Latin America, I have developed effective techniques to lead students to correct pronunciation.
My basic belief is that as human beings, we all share the goal of being understood. This may sound rather simple, but it is basic to my philosophy. I work to ensure that eac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to make the subjects fun for them. For example i bring out cubes, candy, or fruits for math problems so they can visually see the mathamatical problem. If its science I try to make 3D projects so they can better understand, for example the solar system. I try to get there intrest so they can have fun and not be bored and feel like its a waist of time. I know everyone learns in different ways and I understand that because im the same way. Im very patient, and very easy going. My goal is to give them the education they need to succeed in life.
What more better experience then to start at home by helping my little brother and sister. For the past five years I have tutored my brother and sister in many different subjects. I have done math, reading, science,history. Basically all elementary subjects.I am Bilingual and speak both English, and Spanish fluently.

A Little Bit About Me...

I worked as a substitute teacher for a charter high school in St. Louis, MO directly out of undergrad. I taught most subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, History and Language Arts. I feel comfortable in my ability to teach most subjects and have no issue working in difficult classrooms as I have grown accustomed to such environments working in St. Louis.
Being no stranger to difficult classroom settings, I understand that ideal teaching conditions rarely exist. I enjoy to challenge of encouraging more distracted students to learn, and possess the compassion and patience to work with most students. If a teacher can earn a student's respect, which comes easier for a younger instructor such as myself, then positive reinforcement has a much greater impact on that student's motivation to learn. My experience teaching lends the skill to gain student's trust in confidence ... read more

My love for teaching goes as far back as my high school years. Specifically, in 2004, when I graduated from high school, I decided to take a gap year before enrolling in college. During that time, I worked as a teacher’s assistant in a first grade class. That experience was both enjoyable and humbling for me because aside from performing my assigned duties to enhance teaching and learning, I served as a mentor to the young children. The realization that they looked up to me gave me a renewed sense of work ethic, challenging me to work hard and give off my very best. I also learned to keep myself motivated and energized when in a high-pressure situation involving vulnerable groups of people.

For most of the last four years I have been involved in some aspect of education, from teaching children in Korea to tutoring college students in writing. Through these experiences I have learned that the most important quality of a good teacher (besides extensive knowledge of the subject area) is patience. My philosophy is to treat learners with patience and respect.
I am currently the writing skills specialist at a local college and have three years of tutoring experience in writing, two of which were during the time I was completing my Master's Degree. In 2004, I spent six months teaching English in Korea. Because of my experience overseas, my seven years of coursework in Spanish, and my tutoring of foreign students in writing, I have a great deal of knowledge helping students whose first language is not English. I feel comfortable assisting students of any level with writi ... read more

My teaching methods vary depending upon the subject matter and the pupil’s preferences. I enjoy getting to know students and customizing their learning experience to the methods that will best serve them. In the classroom setting, I employ many forms of teaching, including lecture, memorization, demonstration and the Socratic Method when appropriate. I have worked with students from all backgrounds and age levels, and enjoy each student for their own unique personality and potential. I believe that all children can be successful when surrounded by people who care and tools to get them there. As a tutor, I strive to be the most valuable asset in developing the student’s learning skills and their mastery of the subject matter.
As a graduate of a Big Ten school, and a current master’s level student, I have had many focuses in school that I can teach in the tutoring setting. I also cur ... read more
