My background is Physical Sciences and I have extensive experience also in teaching and instructing students. I instructed students during their undergraduate physics and engineering studies especially in the lab projects in science and I also trained Ph.D. students during their research work in the lab. I worked with high school students during their internship at National Cancer Institute in Frederick MD teaching them a broad range of subjects, from calculus to chemistry and biology. I also tutored K-12 students in few subjects such as Math and Physics.

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 a "functioning human being" until the child can speak. This is so inaccurate! I taught one of my daughters to read at age four. My teaching style is to engage the student on a personal level through cheerful conversation and sharing of interests, then to assess learning styles, strengths, and challenges. Children perform well when expectations are complimentary to them, and when they are given the tools and nurture to accomplish their dreams. 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, whe

My teaching philosophy is one that is formed based on my drive to inspire and my belief in academic excellence. I am inspired to be one of those teachers that students look back on and remember as someone who has helped them achieve their goals. To me, significant teaching accomplishments come through the achievements of the students. As an educator it is important for me to teach my students how to balance the busy schedule of someone working in the business world, with their desire for education. All in all, my teaching philosophy does not stop inside the classroom; a teacher should help their students find the balance between academia, family and religion. I am currently working on my doctoral disseration and adjunct teaching at ITT tech, University of Phoenix and MCann Business school. I teach a variety of business courses as well as math and english classes. Having a Masters degr

I have always been driven by a desire to help others succeed in subject areas that I love. Shortly after college, I began a volunteer-driven, grant-funded literacy tutoring program in two elementary schools. I have an earned Bachelor's degree in communication arts with a minor in English. I have two full years of teaching experience, and I am currently working on obtaining my PA teacher's certification in secondary language arts. I have experience in tutoring/teaching students from 1st grade through 12th grade in English, reading, and writing. Children learn in different ways. No one teaching style will work for every student. My teaching style revolves around the needs of the student. I love to help determine what methods will work best for each individual. I have an extremely laid-back personality, and my wife will tell you that I am very patient. I do not believe in failure, a

I am a demonstrative teacher and leader. I believe in the theory of "model, action, and talk" style of presentation of concepts. My creative background lends itself well to keeping a student's initiative and inspiration to a high level so that they are actually motivated to perform at their best. My personality traits are that I am disciplined and a believer in seeking the truth. My personal goals at this point are to inspire other children to want to learn so that learning and writing are not perceived as boring and meaningless and that through writing, the student will want to continue past the assignment and invoke writing and communication through creative channels into their daily lives so that this becomes a "life-skill." As a recent college graduate of Savannah College of Arts and Design, I have extensive experience with writing skills, leading and directing project based assign

It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students. I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar

I have become very adept at determining what level each student is at and tailoring my teaching style to suit the students that I am working with. In a class of over 20, I was able to reach each student with modified lessons and assignments. In the case of individual tutoring, I move at a rate that challenges the student while giving them ample opportunities to feel successful. I enjoy encouraging students to work to their best ability and am excellent at finding ways to motivate students who are stuck, bored, or find the topic too challenging. I have tutored at the middle, high school, and college levels since my first year of college in 2004. Since then, I have worked as a paraeducator for the Special Education Dept. of an elementary school where I worked with first and second graders. For my student teaching experience, I was an intern for a full year at a city middle school, work

I am currently enrolled in a Post-Baccalaureate Teaching Certification program at Kutztown University for Secondary Education English and the Masters of Education program for Curriculum and Instruction. I have a 4.0 GPA in my Graduate program and have volunteered in K-5 elementary classrooms over the past three years. I am experienced in writing research papers in both MLA and APA formats. In addition, I have extensive writing experience as a freelance writer. I currently tutor Middle School and High School students and will begin substitute teaching in School District of Lancaster in January. I love working with all children. I believe that every child has the potential to learn and I try very hard to find out what works for the individual learner. I am patient, easy-going, but I expect my students to set goals and put forth the effort required to meet them. I tend to take a constructiv

I began working as a Water Safety Instructor when I was 16 and taught swimming to people age 3 to age 76. I worked as a Teacher's Assistant at West Virginia university and taught my own section of a one credit course required of all freshmen students while working on a BA in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. While working on my MA in English Literature with a Certificate in Folklore at George Mason university, I worked as a substitute teacher and then was hired as a full time middle school English teacher. I worked as a middle school English teacher until April 2010. I have a passion for working individually with students to find their personal learning styles so that they can succeed and excel academically. I encourage students to think through a problem and find a solution that works for their individual abilities and plays to their strengths. I believe learning sh
