Spanish and History Major

I taught Pre-K for 1 year and Kindergarten for 1 year as well. The experience was wonderful and I enjoyed lesson planning, making props, teaching the children new things based on different themes and subjects. I was in a technical school for 3 years where I earned a certificate in Early Child hood Education and management.

I like a fun teaching style,yet one that makes sure that the student's lessons stick in their head.
I was the type of person back in school who could never focus on anything in school,and one year I had to go to summer school.There I met a teacher who changed learning for me completely.I learned thing that i struggled to learn for years in just a couple months.It was amazing.From then on i remembered his teached ways and swore I would become a teacher or even a tutor and teach the same way he did,to help others learn and feel accomplished like I did.

My comments on tutoring Social Studies : As a reading teacher, I can use strategies that can assist learning in this area.

I have been teaching Reading for 15 years. I taught in Allentown, Pa., Maryland and currently in Bethlehem, PA. I have always taught 6th graders. I have been selected grade level leader at all schools and make it a point to know all students in my grade. I am an hnest teacher that explains why lesson need to be done. I try to make everything meaningful.
I am a hands on teacher. I do not lecture, rather have the child do the activity.

My comments on tutoring Social Studies : Social Studies is such an important topic for students today. I have found that with social studies, there are so many fun and interesting ways to tutor this subject. Each one of my students will receive this treatment and will have a fun experience.

I have a very Hands-On Teaching Style
I have been working with children for the past seven years. Four of those years have included homeschooling pre-school and pre-kindergarten as well as homework help and tutoring the children that I was babysitting. I love tutoring because it allows me to work one-on-one with my students. Tutoring, also, allows me the opportunity to create the ultimate tutoring experience based off of the students learning style and interest. The students that I conducted homework help and tutoring with were within grades 2nd through 6th. I conducted my Student Teaching in a first grade classroom and loved every minute of it.

As a graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Crime, Law, & Justice, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math, English, history, and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last four years I have tutored two students and seen significant success in areas of math, English, and history.
I love teaching and working with children and young adults. I truly believe that everyone has the ability to learn, but it’s just a matter of which way works best for them. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide a strong commitment to enhancing and supporting the education of a child. I am a firm believer in teachin ... read more

I recently completed my thirteenth year of full-time teaching in the state of Michigan. I taught all subjects at the sixth grade level for eleven years for a public school. I've also taught all subjects at the fourth grade level, along with third grade social studies, for a Catholic school. Along with years of experience teaching a variety of subjects, I have participated in several professional development programs including the latest strategies in reading, writing, math, and science instruction.
I really enjoy working with children with various learning styles and abilities. I'm a patient, open-minded, empathic listener whose focus is the development of your child's potential. I strongly believe that building self-confidence is vital for each individual. By being self-confident, one is more sure of himself, and can gain a higher sense of self-esteem.

Passion, selflessness, and compassion are some reasons for wanting to be a teacher/tutor. I would want to know all that I possibly can learn about my students' life styles, behaviors, wants, and needs in order to help them achieve and learn as much as possible. I would encourage my students to let them tell me as much as they possibly can about their problems, wants, and needs. I, as a teacher, am a role model to be trusted, and I would like my students to put their faith in me as their leader, role model, and hero.
I have demonstrated competence in successfully managing a profitable retail business. The necessary skills are invaluable. They can be used now in a classroom to help me become one of the best teachers/tutors in your school system.

My teaching methods include brainstorming, thought organization, use of the thesaurus, and use of adverb and adjective clauses to overcome writer’s block. These are in part “taught” but also developed by recognition and support of inborn talents. Operative use of vocabulary is also imperative to the development of both writing and speaking skills. Practice is as much a key to success as it is in sports, music, or in any discipline. Research is an important tool in the process of effective writing as well as speaking. Research skills are best taught by demonstration. Didactic methods are dry and uninspiring. It is best to teach research skills by actually working with the student.
For more than twenty years I have had experience in report writing, creative writing, speech writing, resumes, and projects. My expertise lies not only in the proficient use of the English langu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

A tutor has a unique opportunity to quickly learn the teaching styles required for the individual student. This is best accomplished by listening carefully to the student to establish where the roadblocks to learning are occurring. Ultimately, the student and tutor need to function as a team with a single objective. I feel that I have a passion for learning and that passion is felt by each of my students. If I can get each student to admit that "Math isn't so bad after all" then learning will follow naturally.
My undergraduate degree is in Civil Engineering and I have recently become eligible to teach elementary education, middle school science and middle school math in New Jersey. I have had success as a tutor on several occasions as an undergraduate teaching assistant and a peer tutor. Currently, I am assisting two students in high school math and they are both respondi ... read more

Children love to learn and feel a sense of accomplishment and self-worth when they are successful. I greatly enjoy helping children learn. Each child has the capacity to learn and it is the teachers job to present the material in a manner which is conductive to the child’s understanding. Providing tools to help each student comprehend the material is essential. Many students are helped with additional reading strategies, or using a math manipulative to make an abstract concept understandable, or a graphic organizer to help understand new content material. The key is to provide additional methods or strategies so each student is successful. I have a passion to see each child succeed and reach their goals.

I recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a dual-major in English Writing and History. These two branches of academia shaped and built my ability to write concise, intellectual, pieces of work. I possess an excellent vocabulary and grammatical skill set, allowing me to properly instruct any individual in writing technical papers, academic papers, poetry, or prose. While I attended Pittsburgh I began to proofread and edit papers for my friends and classmates. My peers felt I was talented enough to begin selling my services, and to this day I instruct others in how to properly write persuasive essays, resumes, cover letters, and the like.
I've worked with a wide array of students; they span from two year old children to non-traditional (i.e. older than usual) college students. I'm extremely patient and considerate, and I have experience interacting with children who ... read more

As an educator I have the opportunity to help my students find their strengths, build on them, and guide them on their future path. This opportunity can also be a challenge. It becomes my responsibility to rise to the challenge and be the person they say was important in shaping their future. I want to be prepared to help students recognize their strengths and how those apply to a profession, how to prepare for the transition from school to the workforce, the military, or college, and how to successfully embark on their post-school life.
I have been an educator for 23 years,as an elementary school teacher, and in special education at the secondary level. I have a master's degree in learning disabilities, and have worked on a Child Study Team for the past 14 years. I believe all children can learn if taught to their individual learning style.

A Little Bit About Me...

Initially, I believe it is important to assess a student’s present levels. If I know at what level the student is functioning, I can then create a plan to improve the student’s skills. When I am working one-on-one with a student, I teach to the student’s strengths. I try to touch as many modalities as possible, making the concepts easier to understand and remember. I also believe it is important to build up the confidence of students by giving them opportunities for success. If students think they can be successful, learning difficult concepts becomes something that students are more comfortable trying.
After graduating with a BS in Special Education, I worked for almost six years as a high school Learning Support teacher. I taught and supported students in all subjects. I was fortunate enough to be home with my children for a few years before I started working as a substitu ... read more
