My teaching style is perhaps not as Socratic as I would prefer. I first elucidate the principles being considered, and then use a practical means to illustrate and work with that principle. I like to have the student learn to derive what is being taught for themselves. That way the material will stay with them. Grounding the material being learned in some real-life experience makes knowledge meaningful and useful. That is what I endeavor to achieve. While pursuing my Master's degree, I taught several sections on Civil Engineering principles. I also held office hours to tutor students in any other classwork where they were in need of assistance. Subjects ranges from physics to structural mechanics to hydrology to fluid mechanics.

A good environment is essential to learning. A rich learning environment that cares about the deficiency needs so that intellectual achievement may occur. They will know where they stand. Students will have ideas. Those ideas will be considered valuable. Modeling and scaffolding will be used to create a foundation for learning. The success will create more motivation. Wait time will increase so students can make better responses. Constructivism will be used so the students can apply, and link the lesson to prior knowledge in a way they can retain it. . There will be some use of application assessment to see if students can apply in another setting what they have learned. I obtained my bachelors degree in Computer Science and my teaching credential. For the last 8 years I have been a teacher. I have spent 5 years teaching math at the Junior High and High School Level. This past summer

Teachers are the core of creating well-rounded educated future voting citizens in the United States. As a result, I believe it is the responsibility of every instructor to understand that the purpose behind educating every student is determined by proving equal access. In addition, instructors must acknowledge the responsibilities mandated by the profession such as meeting the needs of a diverse learning community. As an instructor, it is my responsibility to meet the needs mentioned above to my fullest potential in order to develop healthy, well-rounded future voting citizens. As a California State University Fresno graduate, I am very committed and compasionate in helping students advance their literacy skills. I earned my bachelor degree in History at Fresno State and currently in the single subject social science credential program. During the past two years, I have been a subst

I'm a senior at Fresno State, soon I will have a B.A. in History, which certifies my ability to research, analyze, and write proficiently. Besides having attained writing skills and expertise in the Social Sciences, I have continually improved my knowledge in several academic fields out of my own initiative; I have honed my skills in Spanish Language and Literature, Englih Literature, math (geometry and algebra) and science (physics, human physiology, and biology). In the past I have tutored these subjects for five years. I have known that teaching is my calling since I was a Freshman in high school. Learning how everything works has always facinated me and sharing that has been equally rewarding. I believe that learning can be fun when it is relevant and interactive. Students have to be given a vested interest in the learning process, asked questions. An environment of trust in whi

I have successfully homeschooled K - 3rd grade (reading, writing, math, science, social studies). I have also tutored children in remedial reading, taught Bible history in a small group setting, and demonstrated the benefits of infant sign language to new parents. I am enrolled in the UCLA Certificate of College Counseling Program. My speciality is assisting students in finding their unique voice in the college application process. My students have been accepted at Stanford University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Occidental College,and Denison University. "Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." This quote by William Butler Yeats summarizes my philosophy of education. I love seeing students become excited about learning and becoming self-directed learners. Oftentimes, this means that the student takes the lead and I am there mainly to provide encouragement and

My teaching style can be described as casual and comfortable. Students who are having problems understanding certain concepts are better able to grasp difficult ideas when they feel they are in a comfortable environment where they are free to ask questions and discuss their problems openly. My goal is to be informative and helpful, but never intimidating. My style works best with high school students, who describe me as approachable, yet structured. I began tutoring during my senior year of high school as a favor for a family friend. I soon realized the demand for private tutoring services and began taking it more seriously. While attaining my Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry, I would frequently tutor friends who needed extra assistance. Years of laboratory experience allowed me to gain an understanding of scientific writing styles, and to expand my writing and researchin

As a teacher, I will adapt my lessons to fit every learning modality because not all students learn in the same way. My lessons will be contextual so that students can have something to relate to as they learn a new concept. I will make myself available to assist students who require extra help. I will challenge my students to be the best they can be and become leaders, because they are the leaders of the future. I will provide inquiry-based projects so my students can learn to be critical thinkers and effective problem solvers. I will challenge myself to do what is best for my students – everyday will be a new opportunity to make a difference. My students are encouraged to be open-minded and respectful of others. They will be expected to be active participants in their learning process. They are required to want to learn. My students will be expected to challenge themselves at all ti

During my time in college, I switched to become an educator as I discovered a passion to see the lives of children transformed. During my process of gaining my BS in Physical Education, I worked with many after school programs and taught both elementary and high school during my student teaching. Since college, I have taught and worked with children and youth around the world and currently volunteer in my local community, heading up an after school program that focuses on tutoring K-8th grade. My greatest strength lies with my patience with children and flexibility to see what style of learning enables the child to best master the subject. I desire to lead children in finding the answer which will not only teach them the subject they are learning, but will enable them to reason and find the answers in other classes as well. It is simple to teach a child to memorize but to teach a chi

Since graduating from highschool, I have had the desire to encourage and expand the knowledge base and love of learning for each student in my care. Having grown up in multiple countries, I am fluent in English, Spanish, French and have a MA in Christian Education. In my 11 1/2 years as an educator, I have taught every subject in elementary school, with an emphasis on arithmetic, history, science, reading, composition and grammar. In highschool, I have taught history, writing, composition and logic. I currently homeschool my two daughters, who are in 3rd and 5th grade. I am a firm believer that each child is special and distinct and each should be approached differently in order to achieve the maximum results. My goal is to instill in each student a love of learning which will benefit them for the rest of their studies and lives, not just through their current difficulty. Every stu

For me, relating to children is effortless; I am quite apt to quickly gaining their attention as well as their confidence. Sadly, many students face the challenge of losing focus; as a teacher, I hope to be able to instill unwavering motivation and drive into each student, and help shape their characters that is essential in fulfilling a rewarding life as they enter into adulthood. All it takes is an influential mentor who is willing to put in 110 percent long after school hours are over. Educators should not only teach, but also still strive to continue to expand their own knowledge in order to exemplify to our students the importance of opening one's mind and broadening one's perspectives. My experience with teaching began in 2004 as a volunteer for William Saroyan Elementary School in Fresno, CA.

My five years of teaching has reinforced my belief that all students are capable of learning. I believe that learning is one part effort and one part technique. If a person is willing, they can, and will, learn. It is my job to teach the proper skills and techniques needed for learning. I believe that a fundamental goal for all students should be to gain excellent reading and writing skills. As a teacher, it has been my joy to discover each student’s learning style and develop different methods for reaching different students. I am patient and believe in treating people with respect. I feel I am understanding, yet demanding. I expect my students to put forth their ultimate effort. I graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Communication and a Minor in Bible.
