I love teaching all children and I am very passionate about science. Teachers must become aware of student’s prior knowledge, as well as how to tap into that knowledge and build on it. Students learn in different ways, and therefore instruction should include a mixture of different activities. I believe that all students are capable of learning and have something to contribute. Teachers must strive to make education as enjoyable and beneficial as possible for all students. I believe that most students will learn enthusiastically if they are taught enthusiastically. During my years at the University of New Haven, I earned a BS in Biology and a MS in secondary education. During my undergraduate work, I worked with other biology students to form a laboratory class for students from a private school which had no laboratory facilities. I possess excellent communication skills both written an

I have the unusual ability to teach in a way that each individual can relate to and on a level that they can each understand. I feel that all people can learn given the right circumstances and a teacher that understands the way that person is able to learn. Learning is a process and I approach teaching in a logical step by step fashion by which my students can relate. As a Sociology major and an accounting student at Longwood University, I was able to gain an understanding in a variety of areas from classes in business, sociology, anthropology, psychology, english, math and the sciences. I have excelled in writing financial as well as literary reports. I tutored many of my classmates while I was in college and was afforded the opportunity to substitute teach sociology when my professors were out due to illness or personal reasons. In my career I have trained many of my employees and

I am a very motivating person and tend to use humor as a method of teaching. I teach to and with the child and never down to him/her. I break large components into their simplest forms so that a child learns to take things one step at a time and not feel overwhelmed. I make the learning relevant to what the child is interested in or knows about so that he/she can be more engaged in the learning process. We set the goal-a reasonable one yet with high expectations and together we achieve it. For the past ten years, I have been teaching High School English. I have taught grades 9-12 in Literature, Composition and Standards of Learning in preparation for the state exams. I have taught inclusion classes involving students with numerous learning styles and have always met and exceeded the expectations of their parents.

I graduated from Union College in June of 2008 with a BS in Biology. Due to hard work and dedication, I received my BS in three years instead of four. I have been substitute teaching for almost a year for many different grade levels. As of recently, I have been tutoring students in mathematics. I am a very patient person that believes in sticking with something until the student fully understands it. It may take a variety of techniques, rephrasing or working through examples, but I believe if you are dedicated there is nothing you cannot learn as a student.

I absoultely love teaching children, and I have alot of patience. Every person has their own way of learning, and I strive my hardest to figure out what way that is in each of my students. I am a very visual and hands on learner, but I have the ability to adapt my teaching method. I think it is extremely important to be very possitive and celebrate even the smallest acheivements. Every student can reach their potential if the appropriate approach to teaching is in place. I am a very patient person. I tutored special needs students in the summer in a variety of subjects. I also taught piano lessons to several students of my own while attending school. While I was in college I was the chemistry lab assistant and lab tutor. I set-up and conducted the labs the teacher had planned, and I helped the students with their homework. As a summa cum luade graduate with a B.A in nursing, I s

I am a Masters Degree holder in Bioinformatics and our curriculum encompasses Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Computer science, Immunology, Mathematics, Molecular Biology & Genetics, Proteomics, Statistics, Sequence Analysis and Structural Biology. In addition to this, my Bachelors Degree Course work also includes many of the above mentioned topics. I taught these subjects to Masters’ students for two and a half years while working as a full time Bioinformatics faculty from January 2006 to June 2008. Besides I have given home tuition in Mathematics and Science to many high school and college students. This academic background along with exposure to premier scientific institutions enabled me to improve my knowledge and skills. A good teacher encourages students to think and analyze and not to accept the information passively. With this objective in mind, I combine class room te

I have worked for Norfolk City Public Schools and Virginia Beach City Public Schools as a substitute teacher for approximately six years. During that period I performed a multitude of jobs including long term substitute positions, teaching high school physics, and performed tasks far beyond the parameters of substitute job specifications. This current school year I was requested by the school improvement specialist, to work as the primary SOL tutor for Earth Science. I also worked for many years in the AVID program as a site tutor aiding in introducing new tutors to the procedures and techniques that would make them most productive as a tutor, while integrating the AVID program to the site. My teaching style consists of incorporating all learning styles of most people in order to achieve the highest level of comprehension in course subjects.

Teaching is a joy to me and privilege I am grateful to have. I am a creative, patient, and caring person and I love to incorporate games and fun into learning while maintaining the seriousness of the subject. I seek to know each student’s personality in order that we may build a trusting environment where they feel safe to try their best. Each student has a different learning style and I tailor everything to fit the unique needs of each student. As a guide to their learning I believe in the constructivist approach where students do not just learn how to do something but understand why it works. With time and encouragement everyone can reach their educational goals and gain confidence. It is my honor to be a part of the success. While studying in college to become an elementary teacher I sought out many opportunities to practice my new skills and found them in all levels of academia from

I believe in using multiple teaching strategies that encompass all the different learning curves. I believe in using many examples such as hands on activities, listening skill development, study skills techniques, think pair share, jig saw method, and the scientific approach. I also highly believe in positive reinforcement. Praising and encouraging a child for job well done, and supporting and scaffolding a child who needs encouragement, giving a child small successes can lead to bigger successes which will make a difference in a students academic life. As an early childhood educator, I have a passion for the education of young children. I strive for success in creating a love and a desire for learning in every academic environment. I am certified in early childhood education and have seven years teaching experience in both the private and public sectors. I have great reference

I began my experience teaching at a small school. I taught 7/8 grade general science, ninth grade earth and space science, and tenth grade biology. I worked at this school for two years, before relocating. I then worked with a tutoring service. I tutored elementary students in a private setting (in homes) in reading and math. I also taught seventh grade science at another small school. Teaching is more than a job for me, I really enjoy helping my students. I believe that all children have the ability and the desire to learn. Some students need a little more attention and enouragement. I enjoy getting to know my students so that I can find their strengths and weaknesses and build on them.

I have experience with children from 6 weeks old through High School.As a teacher,tutor, mentor and director.I was very much driven to a high level of educational expertise.My area of expertise are students with ADD/ADHD or those who are disenchanted with learning or with school. The key is to listen to the child, find out what areas of interest they have and build on that. I have never encountered a child who did not want to read about their area of interests. I am a life coach and oftentimes will use those tecchniques such as listening and then setting the appropriate goals to move forward.I have a Master Degree,and a BS in Elementary Ed.Every child can learn, but more importantly every child/student can develop an interest in learning. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find
