My teaching experience is broad across subjects and age levels. Learning and teaching excite me and I like to think that attitude rubs off on my students. It can be fun to learn, and even those subjects a student does not find enjoyable, can prove satisfying. I've taught middle school and high school, as well as at Bellevue College, Renton technical College, and North Seattle Community College. My own experiences include not just teaching, but also professional broadcasting, journalism (both broadcast and print newswriting, creative writing, editing, and reporting), writing a book, supervising employees as well as students, and poetry awards. I like students to be comfortable, enjoy their experiences with me as much as possible, and learn not only the material they need to study, but also habits and practices that will help them with future studies.

As a graduate of the University of Washington's English program, I have studied a variety of concepts and theory in literature and critical analysis. I have extensive experience in writing a wide range of papers as well as editing my peers and my own writing. I have been fortunate to tutor several students in my area in mathematics, English, arts and sciences. I have also lead a team in providing a reading mentorship in Port Elizabeth, South Africa while re-organizing their library. My experience in written and oral storytelling has also enabled me to work in an afterschool program teaching young students how to organize and perform their own stories. I believe education should enrich and engage a students mind. I work very hard to make connections for what students are learning to what they are passionate about. Through strong encouragement and support, I make an effort to give students

I have taught all levels of math (algebra, geometry, calculus and trigonometry) in Colombia, South America and the USA. I taught at THe Evergreen School in Shoreline, Monroe Montessori School in Monroe and other schools in Seattle. I can teach both from hands on to abstract math. I emphasize in the language of math and the applications in real life. I also teach chess to my students as a tool for thinking geometrically and mathematically.

I believe that every child is capable of learning, and once they see how a subject is relevant to their life and goals, they usually want to learn all they can about it. I try to make academic subjects relevant by introducing real-life applications. Once a student is interested in learning, we can move on to study strategies tailored to each child's individual learning style, and develop a plan whereby the student can progress on his or her own time. At that point, tutoring sessions can focus on working through difficult problems and identifying areas where I can provide extra help and expertise. As a child, I wasn't very interested in science, math, or the outdoors. It took an inspiring high school teacher who challenged me with interesting projects to show me how fascinating biology and ecology were. I strive to be that kind of teacher- not just to show my students how to get the rig

My experience in tutoring is a mix of working with large tutoring agencies as well as local one-on-one at home tutoring services. I have worked with students on elementary school math and reading, as well as SAT and ACT preparation. My greatest experience was when I helped a particular student with her writing skills, not just by drilling and practicing, but by boosting her confidence. With a system of positive reinforcements, we started to build upon her strengths. Her grammar and punctuation have improved vastly, and even her skills in other areas have improved because she is more willing to take risks. Those results were quite rewarding for me, and I realized that I want to help more students break barriers and achieve new limits. Studies show that people who are used to success are more likely to try again and again when confronted with a challenge. My goal is to build a success

I believe that every student can learn, given the right approach. Sometimes the "right approach" requires explaining the concept in several different ways, or includes a more interactive process with experimentation or discussion. I try to work with each student to find the correct approach. In addition, I believe that one of the most important parts of tutoring is giving the student confidence in their own abilities, and I try to provide as much encouragement as possible. I graduated in May 2009 with a BS in Engineering from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, a prestigious technical school in Needham, Massachusetts. Aside from my engineering coursework, I completed an arts and humanities concentration and capstone in Political Science, focusing on third world development and ethno-political conflict. I served as a course assistant for math and science courses throughout much of

I believe that all children can learn you just have to find their style. Each person has their own unique learning style. That is why tutoring can truely help students become better learners because a one on one approach can help them find their style and become their own advocates. I knew I wanted to teach at grade 5. All my education from that time on was directed to become a teacher. During my graduate work at the University of Oregon I majored in Reading. It has become my passion to help all students love reading and become comfortable reading. This passion has been driven by the fact that I am dyslexic and understand how difficult it is to not be able to read well. During my teaching career I have worked with all grades and developmental levels. My Resume is a much better indicator of my experience along with meeting me in person.

As an undergraduate, my academic pursuit was motivated by a desire to excel in education. I have earned a bachelor degree, in History and Comparative History of Ideas, which has strengthened my analytical understanding and approach to academics. I am proficient in grammar as a result of writing research papers, surveys, and essays in a variety of fields. In 2009 I was awarded the Mary Gates Research Scholarship in the Arts and Humanities and in 2010 and 2011 I independently taught an accredited course at the University of Washington. I am also an accomplished artist who has taught sculpture in New York. Teaching is my passion. I love working with children and helping them understand that their potential is limitless. I believe that children are able to learn the most through exploring, discovering, and engaging in calm and respectful learning environments. As a facilitator of such

I believe all students have the capacity to learn and achieve their very best. I am a firm believer in encouragement and building a student's self-confidence. I believe many students require additioanl instructional opportunities to master literacy skills. I incorporate a multi-modal opproach to instruction. I utilize both verbal and nonverbal strategies in my instruciton and strive to clearly deliver academic content with a consistent focus on checking for a student's understanding of the material. I believe with a clear focus on specific reading and writing skills, effective execution of instruction, and lot of encouragement a student will learn and become motivated to keep growing their knowledge in a particular academic area. I began my career in education as a Teach For America Corps member. Teach For America is nationally recognized non-profit agency committed to addressing inequi

I help people to understand complex ideas, gain new knowledge by presenting the information that is interesting and easy to follow. I use a lot of analogy when presenting the information. I choose a field the learner is already familiar with and draw analogies from the field to speed up the knowledge transition. I will ensure the learning is fast and fun and lead the learner to wanting more of the knowledge. I make the learner believe learning does not end with passing a course or exam. When I achieve this, I believe great grades in the exam are definite. My interest in educating others sparked when I first conducted a training program for engineers in my work place. Since then I explored the field of learning and development and gained a lot of knowledge on how knowledge flows from person to person. Inspired by my findings, I did my master’s thesis on Knowledge Management. Today, I

For as long as I can remember I have loved to learn. Through college I tutored in psychology, english, the arts, statistical math, and certain classifications of sciences. My favorites were psychology and english because of the freedom you can give due to interpretaional material. As a psychology major I was fascinated with how the mind works in all arenas. I learned the various methodologies used in teaching people and found in my tutoring that finding a way to present even the most difficult material in a manner to make it understandable is greatly satisfying. Through tutoring and teaching others I gained a higher comprehension of the material at hand and learned more about both myself and people in general. I firmly believe that there's no such thing as an idea or topic that can not be taught to someone who wants to learn regardless of academic leveling.

I am a recent Ph.D. graduate with a strong interest and enthusiasm for the sciences, and ecology in particular. I have extensive experience in biological study design and analysis, data collection and management, and report and manuscript preparation. As a graduate student I spent two years working as a teaching assistant in college-level introductory biology courses. My primary duties as a T.A. involved guiding students through laboratory exercises, assisting students with questions and problem-solving, and grading student homework and test materials. I am adept at communicating scientific concepts, both in person and in writing, and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for scientific inquiry and learning. I have great respect for the unique needs of individual students and strive to connect with students in a way that honors those needs. My goal in teaching is to inspire a sense of curiosi

Since graduating from Bryn Mawr College, I have spent nine years tutoring and teaching students a wide variety of subjects including English as a foreign language, Spanish, Russian, music, elementary academics, adult basic education, special needs education, and transition skills. I have taught in a classroom setting, as well as small group and one-on-one. I have experience working across the spectrum of developmental stages, from children preparing for kindergarten to those well into retirement. I hold a BA in Russian language with a minor in linguistics, in addition to a deep desire for my students to achieve results. I have a very active, hands-on teaching style. Since every individual learns differently, I incorporate visual, aural, oral, and physical elements into my all of my lesson plans. I listen to what my student's objectives are, the parent or guardian's objectives, as we
