I love teaching physics, especially to school students. I try to learn each student's abilities and use the techniques and materials necessary to help that student succeed. It is important for me to understand the students' problems they are working on and give them hints and help them to understand.
For a year I volunteered to help students who had problems with math and science while I earned my masters degree. I learned how a teacher must try their best to help their student succeed. Moreover I have learned how to work with students with their research papers and projects.

My teaching philosophy is to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for my students, in which they feel equal and confident as learners. Creating a positive learning environment begins with building a strong rapport with students and coworkers. Another aspect of building a strong classroom community is motivation. As a teacher, my goal is to help student build strong self-efficacy so that they feel inclined to work hard and develop an inner sense of motivation. I use scaffolding in my instruction, so the students are able to watch me demonstrate the skill or strategy, and slowly I turn over more and more responsibilities to the student regarding that skill until he or she is able to do the skill without my assistance.
I graduated from the University of Iowa on May 15, 2010 with a BA in Elementary Education and a reading endorsement. Apart from my area of specializat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned two bachelor degrees in History and Geology. I am presently taking online courses at Western Governors University to attain my teaching certificate. Additionally, I have been a substitute teacher for grades K-8 since 2009. I've recently completed a long-term teaching assignment including preparing my own lesson plans. I have substitute taught in all types of environments including general education and special education as well as children with emotional disorders. I've served as a tutor for entry level geology courses during my undergraduate years and served as a Teaching Assistant in graduate school where I taught two environmental laboratories each semester.
I firmly believe that children are able to learn and grasp concepts more easily by relating the lessons and information to their everyday lives. If the material is presented in a manner where students can recal ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience as a teacher has been gained through my work at Easter Seals, a pediatric physical therapy center, for which I have taught many children skills in life, communicating, and other various skills. I believe that a good teacher student relationship is imperative. Also I think that learning is best done in a stress free environment. I strive to provide that environment for the children I assist. It is also my belief that with a little hard work, some encouragement, and lots of attention a difference can be made in someones life.
I have worked extremely hard to develop a well rounded educational background. I have earned a BS in Exercise Science, with a minor in Business Administration. I also have completed several elective math and science courses as prerequisites for a Doctorate of Physical Therapy of which I will be starting in the 2009-2010 school year. I have had the ... read more

I have experience teaching many different age groups, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, learning styles, etc. I know what it takes to learn, because I have done it before, and I take what I have learned and apply it to teaching. I am patient and energetic and I have a love for learning and teaching. I especially love to teach math, physics, and foreign language.
As a graduate student at the University of Maryland, I taught Russian 101 to undergraduate students for two semesters.

I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science.
I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process.

Ever since I can remember I have been involved with teaching. I consider myself to be patient, understanding, compassionate, and at times, a role model. I truly believe that every single student is capable of learning and success, sometimes it simply takes a new fresh perspective or a little repetition. I really enjoy helping students to understand concepts and not simply memorizing information. With true knowledge of the subject matter students are more likely to be able to apply what they have learned and remember it much longer. I also believe that successful teaching requires a lot of encouragement and a positive attitude. I want to teach so that I can help others to achieve the best of their ability.
During my undergraduate education I was very dedicated in pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education and completed a variety of experiences working with ... read more

As a graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology and minored in Chemistry, I received an excellent education. Until recently, I worked in a research laboratory at UIUC, studying ecology and evolution. Through my education and laboratory experience, I have gained a broad spectrum of knowledge in various subject with a focus in biology including, microbiology, and anatomy to general biology. My volunteer experiences at Edison Middle School and Carle Foundation Hospital have helped me develop my skills in relating to and instructing others. In the past year I have also been involved in mentoring and teaching undergraduate students in the laboratory.

I love teaching and helping children pursue their dreams. I believe that all children can be successful if given the right time and role models. I am a friendly, patient, and easy going guy. I am willing to help any student in whichever way possible achieve and believe they can be successful.
Since my elementary years I've always been a student driven to succeed and pursue higher levels of education.

I can also speak and handle any questions in Spanish at an intermediate level. Furthermore, I served as a junior mentor in the CADS (Center for Alcohol and Drug Services) after school program, tutoring and leading the kids in organized fun.

As early as I can remember I have always wanted to have a degree that involved children. So i decided to go to college to become an Elementary School teacher. I graduated from Black Hawk College where I earned my associates degree. After completion of my associates I then transfered to Western Illinois University. I majored in Elementary Education K-9. After graduating in December of 2009 I started subbing in the Moline and Rock Island School Districts. After subbing I then took an 2010-1011 opening for a Resource Para in the Moline School District. I work with students in grades 1-3 at Butterworth Elementary. I would love to someday become a teacher and have my own classroom just like my husband.

I believe that proficient language knowledge and use is crucial to a person’s career development and every-day communication skills. I enjoy helping students see progress toward their individual goals while at the same time making learning an exciting challenge and experience. I believe one-on-one tutoring can be the most productive and effective way to learn subject matter in a timely manner.
Since receiving my bachelor’s degree in 2007, I have been involved in teaching students of all ages and backgrounds. I hold a certificate for teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) and am currently teaching in the Adult Education Program of our local community college. I also have done English tutoring for college students who wish to improve their English skills. I also tutor students in literacy and am working towards completing a certification in phonetic reading instruction.

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm a strong believer in the Gardner's ideas of many different learning styles and types of intelligent. Some students are better audio, tactile, or visual learners. I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to find the best learning style for each student and build on that format through scaffolding. I love nothing better than to see the light bulb go off in a students mind. This also helps them to realize that learning can be a fun adventure.
I've been a special education teacher and held positions in resource and in self-contained rooms. I've taught students with learning problems in reading, math, and writing. I have also worked in the Lights on for Learning program and have been a home tutor for home bound students in the district.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a kinesthetic learner, so I enjoy teaching in a very approachable, hands on kind of way. I realize every student is not that kind of learner, however, yet I try to make learning the subject at hand enjoyable and something that will be remembered not just for a test, but for life, in the student.
I have over 200 hours of classroom observation and teaching time. I have been an afterschool supervisor/leader at an inner city elementary school. I have also subsitute taught in a public school classroom. I was also the president of the TRIPLE E elementary education club at my college. I was also a leader at AWANA (a children's program). In addition to the classroom experience I have, I have also written numerous Units and/or lesson plans to teach in classrooms.
