My experience as a teacher has given me the opportunity to teach math, science, history, literature, reading and writing to a very diverse group of students. These students vary in development, both academically and socially, and I adjust my delivery of instruction to meet the needs of all. I continue to work with students who function above, on and below grade level expectations and together we meet or exceed the classroom teacher’s expectations. In following Constructivist methods of instruction, we use class discussion, open ended questions and cooperative learning to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive classroom atmosphere. In my instruction I apply research-based strategies, theories, new techniques, and modern methods of instruction. I put a lot of thought and work in to creating my lesson plans. This can be seen in the detail that I provide on each plan. I pay car

As a graduate from University of Idaho, I was very much driven to reach a higher level of excellence in education, leadership, and support of my peers. I have earned a BS in Chemistry, which has allowed me to gain an understanding in many levels of science, not only how in how to learn but how to adapt those lessons for others. During the last eight years, throughout high school and college, I have tutored students in Engineering, psychology, mathematics, chemistry and biology. While much of my tutoring and teaching came through the University, I was also the Inter Fraternal Council study table coordinator, which required finding a way to teach a lot of non-science majoring students as well. I love teaching and working with all students. I believe everyone can learn, no matter the difficulties faced in the past or present. I educate on the belief that because everyone is unique, everyo

Most people can’t recall their first days of school, but I can.While the fashions changed as I entered each grade, I was always filled excitement.It was equivalent to the feeling you get at Christmas, but better!The present you were getting on the warm August day was a new teacher, a new desk, and new friends. It is those same feelings that drew me to wanting to be an educator.I have experiences in various grade levels and a broad range of content knowledge.During my undergraduate career I was lucky enough to be given a great foundation.I have been able to practice hands on what I had learned in the classroom and it has given me the confidence in my ability to be an educator. I have a passion for teaching and working with children to help them be successful. I always have the goal to make all the students I come into contact leave wanting to be life long learners. This doesn't go without

Teaching has taught me quite a bit about children, and life. Through the past 10 years, I have learned to smile & keep my attitude upbeat to influence those around me to do the same. I have learned patience, the ability to go with the flow, and to keep it fun, no matter the challenge. Learning is fun, and I encourage all my students to go into any activity or challenge with this attitude. At the same time, I have high expectations of my students, and believe that they can do whatever they set their minds to. And, I will gladly be there, with a smile to keep it light, while pushing & guiding them through that challenge. I have been a teacher & tutor for over 10 years now, working with students of all ages, in a variety of subjects - the English language, reading comprehension, speech, writing, grammar, world history, geography, earth science, general study skills and homework completion.

As a recent college graduate with my BA in elementary education I am highly motivated to provide learner centered tools to engage and motivate students. I have been able to incorporate these principles into my own classroom as a long term substitute in a 6th grade Language Arts and History class. During my experiences I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of learners, including; English as a second language, multi-level students, sped, and highly capable students. My experience has also allowed me to work in many collaborative environments to create student assessments and measure student growth. Although my experiences are limited to one year they have all be very worth while for me as an educator. My teaching style is very distinctive to the students learning needs. I believe that the educator is a facilitator of the information and must be able to differentiate the in

Every child learns in a different way and I consider it my responsibility as an instructor to discover the methods that help students dissect and retain information. I have found that excitement for your subject is crucial in making learning fun. I enjoy finding creative ways to help students tackle problems, whether mathematical or verbal. I am patient, friendly, and know the importance of encouragement for a job well done. After a tutoring session, I would want the student to come away feeling challenged and rewarded. I know the necessity of a good education and I would do everything possible to empower my students to be successful in that endeavor. I have always had a deep appreciation for knowledge and education. I hold a BS in Marine Science (Oceanography), through which I took many high level science and math courses.

Since I was in college at Eastern Oregon University I have enjoyed working with children to educate them and foster enthusiasm for the sciences, especially chemistry. As an active member of the chemistry club at EOU I volunteered in dozens of elementary chemistry demonstration in the LaGrande OR area. I also participated in summer chemistry camps during this time. After graduation I have voluteered at area high schools during national chemistry week for the local chapter of the American Chemical Society. I am currently mentoring a PhD student from UCLA for the next two years who is working under my direction to complete an intelligence community post doc assignment.

We all have different views, and I would like to find that gateway into the minds of children so that they can see and understand more. I use different methods for each individual. It depends on each person what they like and want in order to find the motivation in themselves. It is satisfying to see people realize that they can achieve more than they first thought. I have earned a bachelor of science degree in General Science, which means I have a very good understanding of many topics including: Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Physics, Computers, and Arts. I have experience in being a leader of 10-16 people in the military as an officer. I enjoyed teaching people of their oppurtunities in furthering their education. During late nights I tutored friends in Calculus and Biology.

I love teaching and working with all ages. I believe that every student can achieve their full potential if given the needed encouragement, skills, and time.
