More About This Tutor...

The child chooses the style. What I mean by this is that every child is different and every one of them learn differently. Teaching on a more personal level is how to aid the best results.
My experience started in my high school years helping my brother and sisters with homework while our mom was working. Presently I am employed at a day care center/ school, were everyday is spent engaged with the kids and their educational needs. I love interacting with the children at work so much so, that the idea of taking on tutoring sounds more so like a new hobby.

More About This Tutor...

I have served as a substitute teacher in Hayward, CA for 1 1/2 years. I worked as a tutor for Learning & Loving It in San Jose, CA for 3 years. I served as a tutor and teacher of adult education in Loganville, GA for 1 year. I am currently on the substitute teacher roster for the Vicksburg School District, and I have been so for two years.
I first introduce myself and get to know a little about the student I am tutoring. Then, I establish a baseline of what they have learned so that I can direct my attention to their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, I get into the material with the student and show them how and why the material is important and applicable in the world in which we live.

More About This Tutor...

My focus and teaching philosophy is based upon the philosophical viewpoint of John Dewey and the premise that anyone can learn if the material is presented in a clear and concise manner. He believes that the purpose of education is to not only provide the student with the tools necessary to accomplish their goals, but also to help them build a foundation for lifelong learning. In addition, the key to succeed in real life necessitates knowledge, and a positive, challenging, and educational learning environment fosters that knowledge. The skills and knowledge which students learn should be integrated fully into their lives as citizens and human beings.
My number one goal is to obtain my Masters Degree in Education. A master degree in this field will provide me the opportunity to contribute to my community by providing students with quality education. I believe that my future career o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

It is my belief that all have the right to receive a thorough and complete education. Children who enter the system at kindergarten should be surrounded by an environment where they can achieve their maximum potential. Their curiosity should be stimulated at a young age, and that along with an organized and developed program, will aid these students in disciplining themselves in whatever subject they study. Reading and writing are the cornerstones of education and should always be emphasized above all else. The purpose of education is to prepare a person for life. As educators, we want to make sure that during these years, students are exposed to all that they need for a foundation on which they will build a meaningful career.

I use a multifaceted approach to teaching. I engage my students through experiential learning, service learning, multimedia lecture, discussion, and demonstration. I work at drawing out my students in class by creating a comfortable secure learning environment. I am approachable and available to my students. I teach actively. I walk around the room, make eye contact with all students, and act out the activities of organisms and molecules. I frequently encourage questions from the students and typically get quite a few during a lecture from various students. I also teach interactively. I ask the students questions regularly during class.
I have a total of 5+ years in Education. I am currently a licensed Math teacher, where I teaches math classes to high math students. I am continually involved in professional development activities. I believe that it is essential to stay abr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Following my graduation from USM, I had many experiences teaching a variety of children from many cultures. Having taught in a DODDS school in Karlsruhe, Germany I was exposed to the German way of teaching. My first year of teaching was in an inner city school thar offered many challengs. I believe my experience teaching children from diverse backgrounds prepared me to handle any situation in the teaching environment.
I love children and I love teaching them. I believe in an individualized style of teaching that caters to a child's individual needs. Because I love teaching, I am a patient and caring teacher. I believe every child can learn, and implement a way of learning around that belief. I like to make a difference and "see the light come on". When it does, I know I have done my job.

It brings me great joy working with all types of children. Although all children are different, it does not limit each child from learning. I do believe that all children are capable of learning. As an educator it is my job to meet the needs of each and every child who is a part of my classsroom or program. We all are different and learn differently. It is my job to observe and assess each child according to his/her learning style so that I am able to pull the right materials and teach children according to the way he/she may learn.
I have been working with young children since 2005. I started as a pre-school teacher with ages 3-5. For the past five years I have worked as an elementary school Teacher's Assistant. It was there when I got the most of my experience in classroom management and actually how to teach all children with different learning styles. I worked with gra ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I hold a passion for and driven to put all the energy I have into children, no matter what their current learning style is. I do not accept, I can't, or It's too hard from any child, or children I am in the presence of. I truly am a firm believer that every child has the ability and is capable of excelling to the highest as long as they see there are educators who are interested in their learning and education. Because of my previous office skills and education, I have become even more patient, willing, and determined to make sure students get all the knowledge possible so they can be all they can. Wisdom is knowledge, knowledge is understanding, and students must have and be guided by educators in order to receive the best education.
As as 2010 graduate, I was determined to work for and earn my bachelor degree, not sure what area I wanted to study. I do not hold a degree in the ed ... read more
