My passion for the outdoors informs my teaching style. I think that experience and discovery are the best ways to learn and try to give learning experiences that foster wonder and curiosity. Education needs to be engaging for learning to happen. It is best when lessons are augmented with games, skits, presentations, art or field trips. Information needs to be presented to students in ways they can absorb it, and I work patiently and enthusiastically with many different types of learners. I love learning, and I want to inspire you to a lifetime of learning. I am an enthusiastic teacher with a diverse background who loves teaching and learning. I’m ready to help you excel at your studies, especially in the sciences, English, or math. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Whitman College. Whitman strives to give students a broad-based education with a strong foundation in oral and written com

During my Master's program at UCLA, I was exposed to different ways of teaching and believe that students learn in a variety of ways. I am open to trying different approaches and methods with students in order to utilize the most effective means of ensuring that students are learning and retaining new information. I prefer to establish a positive rapport with my students and to create an environment in which they are comfortable and willing to take risks and make mistakes during the learning process. I have always felt that a good teacher can be crucial to students' success both inside the classroom and in the outside community as well. I recently graduated with my Master's degree in Social Welfare from the University of California at Berkeley, and earned my first graduate degree in 1997 at the University of California at Los Angeles in Education. I taught 2nd grade in a bilingual Sp

After graduate school in the summer of 2003, I taught art at the Pathfinder Ranch in Idyllwild, CA for ten hours a day for three months with a very limited budget.

My college experience was unique to the learning community. Instead of theorizing and contemplating what lives the subjects we studied were living, we lived amongst those most only read about. In addition to traditional bouts of homework and exams I lived in the homes and attended their schools. The philosophy, language and religions they lived became our texts. During which I spent an extended amount of time learning about Japanese culture, their language and their traditions. In Japan I was able to pick up a majority of their spoken and written language, which inevitably assisted me in completing an unprecedented study of the Chinese in Japan. The multiple discipline study allows me to share those subjects with my students. My strategy to learning unknown subjects is very close to the same way children learn to walk, by immersion. Everything we learned as children was assimilated thr

My philosophy is that each student should be presented with the best opportunities for learning. I believe that each child is a unique individual with specific needs and learning styles such as visual, audio, kinetic or through reading and writing. I am known for "thinking outside the box" and draw upon any and all resources that might help a child learn better. I am patient, encouraging, and use methods that empower a child in the learning environment. I have worked with children since 1991. My concentration during my undergraduate studies was neuroendocrinology. However, after attaining my B.A. in Psychology, I loved working with children so much that I decided to work in the mental health field, serving children and adolescents. During the last 3 years, I have been tutoring students in grades K-5 in language arts and math. For the last year and a half, I have tutored students who were

My experience of teaching is not in schools but I have trained many people in the art of rearing shrimp. I am very patient and encourage questions of any kind. I believe that a student needs to feel they can ask any question in order to fully understand. Any student can learn. There are many different personalities and many different ways of learning. When learning is a joy rather than a chore, a student has an even better chance to really understand the subject. My goal is to find the best method for teaching each individual student. Every student deserves an excellent education in order to prepare themselves for a fulfilling life. After a childhood filled with the joys of reading I graduated from college with a BA in English. While I have continued to enjoy reading and writing, my interest turned to biology, specifically aquaculture where my area of expertise is shrimp breeding and far

I have been a math tutor for the last two years, working for private tutoring companies based in Kamuela, Hawaii. My degree in Economics, and my previous work in Computer Science has enabled me to have a strong command of math concepts. My business experience also required a strong ability to communicate and have good grammatical skills. Thus I am able to tutor students in English as well as math, science and economics. I love teaching and enjoy working with children of all age groups and levels of ability. I enjoy searching for different ways to reach children and spur their academic success. It is a wonderful feeling to see a child's eyes light up when they finally understand a challenging concept and yet it is important to remain patient until that time comes. Teaching is the most fulfilling career as it allows me to make a difference in my students' lives that lasts forever.

I have worked as a teacher on the Big Island, and spent over ten years as a volunteer trainer at public access television facilities in New York and Texas. I am currently seeking tutoring work as I complete the last year of my online "masters in elementary education" program. I have a bachelors in Psychology, and twenty years of working experience, 5 in supervisory positions. I can teach elementary and high school level work. In the past I have taught primarily science, media and reading/writing. I am current on modern tutoring methods and practices. I believe that once a student can enjoy the process of learning they can begin to internalize the good study habits required for academic success. I use a constructivist teaching method and often use Socratic teaching as a means to have students thinking independently about their work. I am also interested in learning how each studen

I work as Engineer in Photonic Solution company. However, I am also tutor as part time job with Secondary and High school students on Mathematics and Physics about 2 years. I believed that my engineering degree has enabled me to gain understanding about Mathematics and Physics. I try to understand the student about problem which make them not understand for each items. I thought Mathematics and Physics are not so hard but just need to get answer of something that cause most of people not understand. I thought the best teacher is not the most cleaver people but must be the one who can solve and understand what normally student don't understand and guide them about that.
