For the past two years, I have been living in the country of Macedonia as a US Peace Corps volunteer. My job there entailed working with primary school teachers to develop student centered teaching techniques and resources. I was responsible for planning, attending classes, modeling and providing feedback for teachers. I believe teaching should be child friendly and as interactive as possible. When learning is fun, even difficult concepts become easy. My goal is to motivate children to succeed and teach them tha

I enjoy working with students and have a high level of patience with each grade level. I am usually pretty laid-back and allow students leeway to have a bit of fun while they learn. I believe that without a little fun in their daily routines, students grow stagnant and bored easily. I enjoy feeling that I make a difference in student's lives. I have a substitute teaching license from the state of Colorado. I have been subbing for Denver Public Schools and Cherry Creek School District for over three years. I have worked with ages ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade.

In my professional life, I have worked in sales, business development as well as management.

Teaching at a large, high-performing public high school, I had the opportunity to teach a variety of social science courses. With over four years of in-class and tutoring experience, I obtained extensive knowledge in helping students with their overall writing and test preparation skills. I am very comfortable tutoring both within and outside my past teaching arenas. I am an experienced, passionate, and creative educator with a strong work ethic and communication skills. With over ten years of experience, in various capacities working with students in grades K-12, I am highly motivated and own a very positive attitude. I possess a deep commitment for excellence in the classroom and a strong belief in the value, importance, and individuality of each student.

My teaching style is very personal. I try to teach from experience. I relate to children and listen to their concerns while encouraging their individual growth. It is very important to listen and then make them aware of their choices and their responsibility for their choices. It is also important to set an example through my own actions. I enjoy learning and feel that my enthusiam can be contagious. I get along very well with children. I have a gentle yet focused approach to learning. During my academic years I excelled in learning. As an undergraduate I conducted a thesis with four undergraduate assistants. I graduated with honors earning my BA in Psychology. As a drug prevention counselor I had the opportunity to work with children of different ages. I feel I could be of benefit to any child in need of assistance. I am looking forward to establishing strong roots in this communit

My tutoring skills are very similar to my everyday people skills, in that I believe that it is important to reinforce strengths while also providing constructive criticism. This way, the student's motivation will continue instead of discouragement taking over. I also like to be attentive to different learning styles, since everyone is different. Being able to adapt to each student's abilities is important for success. Overall, it is most important to keep a positive attitude. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Sociology/Human Services which gave me a lot of training in working one on one with individuals in many different ways. During college I worked part-time as a Spanish tutor for two semesters, helping college students. I also interned at a special needs school (K-8) for two semesters the following year. During the first semester of my internship I acted as a teacher's aide, help

During my undergraduate career, I was privileged to enroll into the Physiology department in the College of Medicine at the University of Arizona. The University of Arizona is one of 10 schools throughout the country that offer the physiology major to undergraduates. My BS degree is unique, and allowed me to continue to purse a part of medicine I have a strong passion for. I was able to complete a course in Muscle Biology, where we discussed everything from current muscle research to advancements in muscle technology. Along with my bachelor's degree, I received my personal training certification just last year. With this certification I have been able to put into practice what I have learned. Teaching has become a big passion of mine, and I have taught people of all ages. Everyone learns in a different way--some visually, others verbally. I like to incorporate both into my teach

My main goal in teaching is to connect personally with the student in a professional manner which enables mutual respect and trust to be built. This kind of teacher-student relationship allows for the best atmosphere in which a student can learn. My first task as a teacher is to find out how the student is motivated, and then to follow through with motivating the student to reach his or her potential (also requiring appropriate levels of achievement). Of course, good communication with the parent and/or classroom teacher who also has goals for the student who is being tutored is imperative.

As a biology undergraduate at IOWA, I focused as much on how professors taught as I did on the content they were teaching. My interest is in meta-cognition and making sense of our world through unique tools of learning: reading, reason, art, music, language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in biology and certification to teach biology and science. I have taught and tutored students with emotional and learning disorders in all subjects, all grades. I am a creative and patient learner, which informs my teaching style. I enjoy meeting students of all ages at their level of understanding and meet easily the challenge of figuring out how to communicate in ways that make sense to the individual. My task as a teacher is, essentially, to believe in the student's ability to learn and to achieve their goals. I ask questions to engage inquiry: students think about their thinking, ask original

As a child of a university professor and preschool director, education has always been a focal point of my life. I began teaching and tutoring during college, both in religious and secular settings. I have taught music, Hebrew and Judaic Studies to 3rd, 6th, and 9th graders. I also spent several months tutoring high school students in math, science, English and history. I strongly believe that the key to success in teaching is flexibility. Each and every student has a different style of learning and the successful teacher must be able to adapt to those styles. I believe that it is important to be patient and to meet students where they are. Students must be given constant positive feedback and motivation. When students know that I care about their education, they care as well.

I am a firm believer that it takes someone special to be a teacher. A good teacher must be empathetic towards student needs, have a good sense of humor, and exceptional communication skills. Communication skills are not limited to inside the classroom. A good teacher must be able to talk to parents, administration, and other staff members. It is their job to make the classroom a safe and welcoming environment where academics are the main focus. They must be willing to motivate even the students who are the hardest to reach with astounding knowledge of their content area, but also with a great personality. These skills are never truly mastered, a good teacher always wants to find new ways to excel at their job. When you enter a classroom it is like entering a mixing bowl full of different ability levels, motivation levels, talent, and skill. It is the teacher’s job to address each one of

Having been raised by two teachers, education has always been an important aspect of my life. One of the most important aspects of education, I feel, is determining the most effective learning style for oneself and being able to study and process information using that method. I do not believe that there is a child that is "unteachable," rather I trust in the fact that once a child has the necessary skills to process information the way it makes sense to them, every child has the capability to learn. I strive to make learning fun and use tricks such as writing songs, drawing pictures, flashcards, rapping and many more to aide in the process of understanding, comprehension and retention. For as long as I can remember I have been tutoring students in various subjects. My tutoring experience started when I was still in elementary school and has yet to be interrupted. I had the privilege

My approach is somewhat relaxed in private classes. I like to bring in A LOT of variety...worksheets, some text, conversation, verbs, songs...etc. I like to make it fun. When tuturing I focus on the upcoming chapter in the text and then come prepared to work on that. I understand the student's struggle with a language and have a very creative and progressive way of explaining things that makes sense to the student. All students have different learning styles, and I will find what works. My goal in teaching languages is to get them speaking, to read out loud, and to love the language as well as understand it. I have been tutoring adolescents and adults in private settings for years and enjoy the one-on-one education the most. I spent five years in Spanish-speaking countries and tutored Spanish speakers in English. I, therefore, understand the two languages inside and out. I love languages
