Testing Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Higley, AZ

I am a seasoned veteran tutor, and I enjoy, no love, mentoring, teaching, volunteering, training, or instructing almost as a hobby! I am especially passionate about career education and counseling as well as psychology and mathematics. Oooh and English too! I enjoy playing guitar and writing, also playing and instructing playing soccer. My approach is a little different using humor to destress students. I believe in each student understanding the underlying concepts via instruction, physical materials and hands-on activities. I have a lot of patience. I love working with different and even difficult and shy students.

Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various styles which is very effective. Teacher-centered, where the teacher is expert and authority in presenting information works well with students who need little direction from the instructor, and/or those who accept responsibility for their own learning. While in other situations, I will take a learner-centered approach thus viewing my role as more of a facilitator of student learning. In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating

I believe that each student learns differently, and that we need to target those learning styles and use them in ways that can help one another. I have been teaching for over ten years. It is not just a job, it is my passion. I love going into my classroom everyday and learning with my students. Together, we conquer the day in our curricular subjects, but also in our social environments all with a growth mindset and determinations. Do we make mistakes along the way? Yes, of course we do, but those are celebrated as learning opportunities, things that we can grow from. Learning and growing together makes every day exciting and fun! 1

As an undergrad I attended Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, a school well-known for its academic excellence, where I studied Christian Education under a group of highly talented professors. While this degree was not a typical teaching degree, it incorporated a significant amount of educational theory, communication skills, and developmental psychology which I have used as a mentor, Sunday school teacher, and tutor. I then attended Fuller Theological Seminary as a master’s student where I studied theology and youth ministry. This program allowed me to further study the developmental issues connected with adolescents, as well as increase my writing and critical thinking skills through the study of theology, philosophy, and history. I have worked with middle school and high school students in a church setting for 9 years. I began tutoring last year, working with elementary and Jr.

I love children and believe that every child can learn. In my classroom, I provided a multitude of diverse learning experiences for my students - from experimentation to cooperative learning. I support the multiple intelligences theory and always attempted to accommodate students' various learning needs. For example, when finishing a novel, students were given options for completing a book project: traditional book report, building a model of a favorite scene and presenting it to the class, creating a scrapbook for a main character and presenting it, etc. I held high standards for my students but always provided the tools for them to achieve those standards. After earning my bachelor's degree in History and Political Science, I went on to complete the teacher's certification program through the University of Phoenix. I began teaching middle school Language Arts, Reading, Writing, an

I like to facilitate my students learning my providing them with the instruction, materials, support, and professional knowledge they need to succeed.

I enjoy working with young people and making an impact on their academic success. I don't know if I have a particular teaching style, but I believe that education is not a "one size fits all" proposition and good educators must adapt their style to fit the needs of their student which I strive for every time I meet a new student. Although I do not have a degree in Education, I have years of experience as a teaching assistant, teacher, tutor and curriculum designer. My experience mostly focuses on helping students improve their writing skills, but I also work with students with their reading comprehension since they go hand in hand. I have taught composition at the community college level which enables me to help students with papers at all levels from basic exposition to research methodology and citation format.

I have spent most of my career working with children who were unsuccessful in a traditional classroom. Discouraged and failing, many of my students had no recent memory of being successful. By showing them that they were capable learners, they regained their confidence and motivation. I used simple structured lessons to explain methods and concepts. I emphasized the relevance and meaning of all work, and allowed time for inquiry and discovery. Students were assessed only after thorough preparation. Strengths were emphasized; difficulties were embraced as a challenge. By creating opportunities for success, my students were willing to work through their struggles. I have spent my 13 years as an educator in a variety of capacities. I spent four years as a tutor for an autistic child while I was in school. After receiving my bachelor’s degree in education, I worked for three years

As part of my lifelong love of learning and teaching, I began tutoring when I was just fourteen years old. While in high school, I usually tutored math (mostly algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and general science. Once I moved to college, I began to work with middle school as well as high school students again in mostly math and science. However, I have a BA in politics and history; therefore I am extremely confident in many liberal arts subjects. I have also earned an MBA which helped to hone my grammatical and communication skills. I am currently an on-call teacher for two local school districts. I teach all levels, all subjects. I love to teach. I have experience with 5-50 years old and, if pressed, could not name a favorite group. I believe that everyone can learn; some of us just process information in different ways. As a tutor it is my job to discover how a student processes

When I graduated from High School and went into the job market I continued to be interested in working with children. This interest lead me to taking psychology and education classes from various colleges over the years and ultimately obtaining a B.I.S degree from A.S.U. In addition, I have worked in the field of education for over the last 12 years and I obtained an Elementary Montessori Teachers certification. My interest in working with children has lead me to working on a post-B.A. from Rio Salado. I still plan on obtaining a masters degree in ether Education or Psychology. In addition, over the years I have worked with many different types of children on a whole group setting all the way to one on one tutoring. My style of teaching depends upon the child's way of learning. In my role as a Montessori teacher I typically presented lessons to the child in way that would best suite thei
