I take a servant leadership, customer-oriented approach to my responsibilities. I routinely try to answer the following question: What can I do to help students achieve their goals? For research papers, I encouraged students to pursue their own interests, such as a subject related to their major, in order to give them a better opportunity to enjoy the research process as opposed to merely fulfilling an exercise requirement. From January 2006 through August 2008, I worked part-time as a freshman composition instructor, writing lab tutor, and teaching assistant for the English department at UNT. As an instructor, I taught two classes per long semester and one, intensive summer session. During the fall semesters, I taught Composition I, which introduced students to a variety of writing concepts, such as the personal essay and the visual text. The students wrote five papers, three to f

I can teach touch typing, having done it myself since the age of eight. I have tutored various friends in English, poetry, reading, grammar, biology, music, and study skills since my own school days. I am a quick learner, and a diligent student myself. I am flexible in my teaching style, and am adept at communicating clearly with audiences of all sorts. I am also quite handy at helping students understand complex concepts. I myself am a visual learner, but can teach in any of the major learning styles.

It has been my privilege to teach at many levels and venues over my career which started in the mid 70’s. Elementary Education was my first major, and I enjoyed teaching in a Christian setting at 5th and 6th grade levels for many years. I opened my own Reading Center to help special students. Later I went to graduate school at St John’s College. I’ve taught Jr. High, H.S., and Jr. College. Most recently Sylvan Learning Center has given me great experience teaching reading, writing, and math. My goal is to help students succeed in learning and in gaining confidence. My teaching style is to get the student engaged through multi-sensory and high interest sources. Utilizing student’s strengths helps gain early success and a willingness to grow and be challenged in new areas. I consider my 25 years of teaching experience to be a rich storehouse from which I can draw for future opp

I was majoring in International Economics and Trading in the college and completed my MBA program this year. After 6 year education, I am able to understand in many areas of Math, Economics and Statistics. Moreover, I am fluent in Chinese, English and Japanese, which alow me to teach and tutor Chinese and Japanese here as well as English for foreigners. As early as I was in the college, I have already had experience to tutor high school students in math and English. From my previous tutoring experience, an effective way to teach children is the most important thing. Explaining reasons and dealing with essential are more effective than remembering. This approach will motivate children to explore the unknown world and their potential. During the last few years, I strived to explain reasons briefly and hit essential directly to all of my students. As a result, they were able to gain an unde

I design the lesson to the learning preference of the student. I incorporate technology, visual, tactile and kinesthetic teaching styles. This gives the student the maximum opportunity to learn. If a student is having trouble with reading comprehension there are various skill sets a child learns in order to help with standardized tests. I have experience in that area. An understanding of literary elements can also enhance a child's understanding of literature and reading. The ultimate goal is for the child to be able to read for gaining information, but also understanding of the world and experiences around them and from other people. In my last three years of teaching I was the Inclusion/Resource teacher, however, I also worked with some Life-Skills students, as well as doing some 4th grade co-teaching. I am comfortable in working with at-risk students and understand the importa

I enjoy working with children of all ages, but particularly excel with more mature students trying to tackle more difficult subject matter. One of my greatest strengths is helping people understand abstract, technical material by simplifying the concepts and using analogies that the student can relate to. Often times we create a barrier because something seems like it should be hard. I make it my goal to break through that barrier by reducing the subject matter to ideas to which the student can relate. There is nothing quite like witnessing an “A-ha!” moment as someone conquers a fearful concept. I have always had an interest in math and science, and I got my start tutoring in high school by helping fellow classmates and friends in these subjects. I went on to earn my BS in Mechanical Engineering from U.T. Austin. I have also spent much of my life in the world of music and began te

My techniques will be customized to the subject and student population. One of the techniques: I will use exercises and team involvement as additional tools for re-enforcement and opportunity of exchange, so that team spirit and creative opportunities can be encouraged and explored. Students will notice how genuine my interest in education is, as I am an avid learner myself. I will also create an environment of comfort, exchanges, and suggestions. Where the subject materials and school policies allow, I may introduce additional techniques and suggestions. I have received rigorous instruction as to punctuation, grammar, syntax, and composition rules since my years of mandatory education. The knowledge and application of the same have expanded thanks to the years spent in college and at the university, where I have also had to use the notions in order to effectively communicate verb

My teaching sytle is individualized based on the needs of the student. Age and educational level play a large role in designing the right type of teaching skill. Teaching success depends upon mutual respect and trust. I have 20+ years of Human Resource management experience. During this time, I was responsible for training, presentations, safety, employee relations, compensation, emloyee benefits. I designed training programs and implemented them within the organization. As the executive, I was responsible for editing presentations, composing employee newsletters, providing support to all employees for internal application process. I have assisted them in communication, written and oral. I am listed as an adjunct instructor for the Alamo Community College District. I have provided 2+ years of continuing education programs during this time.

My teaching style is to do whatever works, and to get it done. I pride myself on working with my students on their level and being able to understand their personal barrier to grasping the material. I am very conscious of not imposing upon them the way it "should be done". The way it should be done is whatever way makes sense to them and as a tutor, I work hard to find this "way". I have developed the patience to work with students at their pace and to also challenge them to expand their boundaries. Ultimately, patience and persistence are what can be used to summarize my teaching style. I have been tutoring since 2006 and have covered a broad range of subjects during my time. My tutoring experience ranges from helping elementary students prepare for private school entrance exams to tutoring college students in math, english, economics, and history and everything in between.

As a graduating senior in Microbiology My comprehensive coursework in the hard sciences, including Biology and Chemistry, provides me with substantial knowledge in several domains. I began my work as a college tutor in 2007 and immediately found fulfillment in helping students to meet their academic goals. By the end of my time with the tutoring center, I was designated a CRLA Level 3 certified tutor. In addition to my tutoring experience, I also worked as a student teacher, teaching math to two classes of seventh graders. I learned necessary skills in classroom management and how to create lessons that are flexible enough for students on different levels of knowledge and comprehension. I focus on showing students why a correct answer is correct and guide them with questions so that they can cultivate the correct answer on their own. I learned the importance of building rapport and tailo

Applicable to this job, I remember my high school years and the processes I had during my English and Composition assignments. I completed an English Bachelor’s degree, with three different areas of focus, Professional Writing, Creative Writing, and Composition. I am finishing a Master’s degree in Rhetoric and Composition. I am on temporary, as-needed employment at Pearson Education Services as a scorer. Finally, I tutored, assisted, and participated in the lives of my fellow students. My experience has allowed me to have an understanding of theory, practice, and rhetoric and solve any personal compositional and academic concerns that have come up, and I look forward to doing so again at this job of tutoring. My missionary experiences informed me of one idea: people are important and they have to be considered person-by-person. Those experiences have led me to take a teaching philosophy
