Students need inspiration!.

I love discovering each individual student and the way to help them learn. My goal is to help students become inspired by their subject matter so that it can play a role in their lives as well as their test scores.
I have led several small groups of teenagers and young adults in Biblical studies at Prairie Hill Evangelical Free Church, several musical groups in practicing and performing, and a summer-long book club at Crown College. In gaining my Associate of Arts degree from Crown College, I also led many study groups on subjects ranging from Chemistry to Physics, English Literature to Creative Writing.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe teaching is a very important profession and that our communities cannnot be strong with out a good education system. I believe that all children learn but each child has a different learning style and obsticles that may need to be overcome and special needs that need to be addressed. I am experienced with identifying needs, writing goals and curriculums and using many different types of teaching styles to reach the needs of each individual student. I strive to help any child, school district, and coumminity with the education of students to make a difference in the lives of children.
Holding a bachelor degree in psychology with a minor in special education and a masters degree in curriculum and instruction with post gradute hours +15 and ten years teaching and tutoring has enabled me to gain an understanding in all areas of elementary education with specialities in rea ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As the Title I Math Specialist at Peyton Elementary for three years, I had the opportunity to work with struggling learners as well as high achieving students in a small classroom setting. This on-the-job experience combined with numerous professional development credits earned in various areas such as differentiated instruction, math/literature connections, and mathematics pedagogy as well as two years of service on Peyton Elementary's "Child Study" team gave me the necessary background to be able to identify individual student needs and tailor lessons to address those needs. Over the past two years, I have been able to apply the above skills in a one-on-one setting through private tutoring of elementary age students in both math and reading.
I have a caring and mutually respectful relationship with students. I am very creative in my lesson planning, often use hands-on activities, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized through these experiences that I wanted to help people learn and become accomplished. Later, I decided to student teach in graduate school. I taught three different writing courses over three years, including this past year as a part-time instructor. While I enjoyed my time teaching in a college classroom, I found myself making the most headway during conference time. In addition, I also worked as a writing tutor at MU's writing center. I felt like I accomplished more working with students in this way instead of standing by a chalkboard.
I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have taught in the primary grades on and off for over 14 years. During this time I have taken courses to improve my teaching style as well as learning how to adjust to each child's learning style. I have taken time off from teaching to explore other business adventures. It has been during these times that I realize just how important it is to me to teach children on a daily basis. I have tutored students in reading, math, social studies and science.
I describe myself as a "kid magnet". I do this because no matter where I go and what I do children are attracted to me. I interact with children in ways that few other adults can. The children sense that I am very loving, caring, and inquisitive about learning. They know that I understand them. I adjust my teaching style to accommodate what they need to learn as well as the rate at which they understand and apply what they have learne ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While my formal education lends itself most to teaching social studies--a BA in both Political Science and Latin American Studies--my experiences teaching languages and my background in Spanish (native speaker) and French (near-native speaker) have prepared me well to teach foreign languages and language arts (English), as well. My studies at Amherst college and my work in civil rights and the legal fields fine-tuned my writing and communication skills, and my ability to breakdown grammatical and structural constructions in writing and speaking have been honed by teaching English as a foreign language to both children and professionals.
I love teaching because I love learning. I understand that people learn in different ways, and part of what I find most interesting as a teacher is to look at a problem from different perspectives to find the solution that will make the most sense ... read more

My teaching style would be observe the child and then apply a teaching method that feels the best. Also allowing the child to show where they want to go through personal discovery. I beleive in guiding the child when they really need it and then letting them fly. All children can learn, and its personalized education sessions that can make all the difference, informing and empowering the child, parent, teacher and future teachers.

A Little Bit About Me...

Through my experience working with students in inner-city Dallas, in Russia, in Commerce City, and in Denver, I have learned to be creative when finding ways to help students succeed. Education is a deeply personal experience, one which requires the instructor to be as open and active as the student. I strive to journey with my students as they endeavor to expand their learning and broaden their abilities. Each student has specific needs that must be carefully addressed, whether they be language barriers, emotional or developmental delays, etc. When tutoring, both in group and individual contexts, I find what kind of teaching works well with each student.
I have a strong, diverse background in education, from EFL instruction overseas, to public school classroom instruction and private tutoring, to individual and group piano lessons. I began tutoring and teaching piano when in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having been raised by two teachers, education has always been an important aspect of my life. One of the most important aspects of education, I feel, is determining the most effective learning style for oneself and being able to study and process information using that method. I do not believe that there is a child that is "unteachable," rather I trust in the fact that once a child has the necessary skills to process information the way it makes sense to them, every child has the capability to learn. I strive to make learning fun and use tricks such as writing songs, drawing pictures, flashcards, rapping and many more to aide in the process of understanding, comprehension and retention.
For as long as I can remember I have been tutoring students in various subjects. My tutoring experience started when I was still in elementary school and has yet to be interrupted. I had the pri ... read more

I am an experienced, passionate, and creative educator with a strong work ethic and communication skills. With over ten years of experience, in various capacities working with students in grades K-12, I am highly motivated and own a very positive attitude. I possess a deep commitment for excellence in the classroom and a strong belief in the value, importance, and individuality of each student. That belief fosters a dedication to try and bring out the best in each and every student I serve.
Teaching at a large, high-performing public high school, I had the opportunity to teach a variety of social science courses. With over four years of in-class and tutoring experience, I obtained extensive knowledge in helping students with their overall writing and test preparation skills. I am very comfortable tutoring both within and outside my past teaching arenas.
