Most of my career has involved some level of teachng or training. I trained new volunteers during the Peace Corps, I taught rural Tunisian families how to use available resources to improve their lives, training natural education instructors and volunteers at the Wells Reserve, traqining and coordinating volunteers within my roles as Executive Director, completing all course requirements for my Maine Teacher Certification, obtaining Ed. Tech III, Highly Qualified status in Maine, and substitute teaching, and now in my role as Title I, Ed. Tech II at Valley View Community School in Farmington, NH where I work extensively with children with special needs. I believe that questions are more powerful teaching tools than simply delivering answers. I do not wish to teach my students WHAT to think; my goal is to help students learn HOW to think, and to develop a pssion for learning which extend

I have tutored people since third grade, and have recently graduated with my masters in business administration with honors. As consistently as I have tutored, I have also excelled in an academic atmosphere and would love to share my knowledge of test taking skills and subject knowledge. I have had a wide focus throughout my experiences, with emphasis on statistics, essay writing, and business theory, and I have also done university research on neurophysics modeling and emotional intelligence. Because I am looking to keep my teaching skills current to eventually gain a tenured professorship, I would love to tutor you. Previous students have often remarked on my practical teaching style, relying on real world examples and explanations for business and mathematics. The only way to remember information long term is to relate it to something tangible, especially in subjects like statisti

My teaching style is entirely individualized to meet the needs of the child. As a special educator, my instruction has most often been diagnostic, targeted to meet specific goals and objectives. I relate activities to real life, so that lessons are interesting and students can apply and generalize learned skills. I use a multisensory approach. My lessons often include a combination of visuals, formula guides, manipulatives and other materials carefully selected to support and engage the individual student. As a fourth year special education teacher, I have an extensive repertoire of strategies to help students learn. Having worked with both disabled and nondisabled children, primarily in small group and 1:1 settings, I have developed an acute sense of each of my students' learning styles, strengths and needs. Previously, I have tutored in math, social studies and study skills at the uppe

As a Home Depot Associate, I have trained many levels of management, human resources, new associates, and tenured associates in all areas of product knowledge and management skills. I will be enrolled in a Master's program in Leadership starting in September. I am fluent in Spanish, as I was an exchange student in Bolivia during high school. I have extensive experience mentoring and training in the retail environment, and I am a volunteer at the local ESL classes. My teaching style is as varied as the students I have taught. I feel it is important to relate to the student in order to help them learn best. When there are different learning styles, I do my best to use a variety of teaching techniques in order to cater to the need of the student. I feel that follow up is important, as well as repetition and hands-on practice. I am not a lecturer. I find my best students learn one on on

I love teaching, and I believe that everyone can learn when given the chance. I understand that students sometimes need concepts explained in new and different ways to really understand them, and I am patient, flexible, and resourceful when educating others.My experiences have taught me to motivate and empower the people around me, a quality that I consistently bring to my educational experiences. I believe that everyone can be successful if given the opportunity. I am a recent college graduate with a lifelong passion for education. I have a BS in Business, and am currently enrolled in a Master's of education program. I love to learn and to teach. I have been a college teachers assistant, and a tutor for 8 years. My major is in the field of business, and my long term interest is mathematics. I was also the captain of my high schools math team, and on the math team in college. I have tuto

I hold a degree in Business as I have been in this field for over 30 years. I have been an engineering assistant for ten years and worked in sales and marketing. Upon my return to college I became very interested in education and feel I need to help students stay in school and to be a mentor for students who need extra help with reading and comprehension, and self esteem. I have achieved to graduate Cum Laude after being out of school for 35 years. I love to encourage and reward students for their efforts. I want what I teach to be fun and become something they want to learn rather than some thing they have to do. I will put together a plan that will entail all the required learning objectives while including ways to relate what we are studying to every day life situations. My style is to let the student have the freedom to expand their own imagination, I want my students to feel what

I have two years of experience teaching adults in college-level and public adult education settings. Additionally, I have about 3 years of experience working with children from infancy to adolescence and was a lead after-school teacher. My professional business background, entrepreneurial spirit and freelance writing career have aided in the practical development of my English, grammar, financial planning, customer service, sales and marketing skills. Teaching is a facilitating process. I believe it is my job to aide the student in developing a more solid understanding of the coursework in front of them. This may involve explaining the same concept to the child in a variety of ways to help them understand. The child may also just require a patient instructor who is willing to keep practicing until they have reached the mastery stage of learning. Whatever the case may be, a

I was born to be an engineer & teacher. I love math, science & computer programming. I love sharing knowledge. I worked for 30 years as an engineering executive at Hewlett-Packard. While at HP, I got my MBA at Babson College. I designed & operated a very successful factory which grew to 100 employees with sales of $100 million. Employee development & mentoring were top priorities. Now retired from HP, I focus my creative energies on investing & computer programming & web master skills. I publish an investing blog for friends at http://bit.ly/mxN7Ox. I recently did presentations for 75 8th grade science students on optical networking with rave reviews from the students. My talk was inspirational & changed lives. My gift is my teaching ability. My family, friends, and associates all tell me so. My style is marked by patience. I strive to stimulate in students the j

My teaching style is based on the belief that children perform well academically when given an opportunity to learn in their own unique way. In particular, I have worked with students with receptive-language difficulties, ADHD, and oppositional behavior. In my teaching, I have tried to implement techniques that involve repetition, visual cues, and creativity to enhance students' academic performance. I believe each student has the potential to advance when given the appropriate tools. For example, I try to use lively stories and cue cards to enhance phonemic awareness of the long and short vowel sounds and consonant sounds as well as basic sight words. I now work as a Special Education Teacher in New Hampshire. I teach English for freshman students at the high school level. Since my graduation from Simmons College, Boston, MA in 1988, I have worked extensively in the publi

As a student who has achieved academic excellence at a tri-fecta of prestigious Boston schools, I am committed to promoting the value of education. In 2006, I earned a bachelor's degree in Communications and Hispanic Studies from Boston College, which enabled me to gain a thorough knowledge and understanding of language and communicative arts. I also developed excellent communication and writing skills through writing intensive seminars and public speaking courses, along with essays in many various areas of study. I am currently pursuing a law degree at Northeastern University School of Law and a master's in public health at Tufts University School of Medicine. Completing both degrees in 2009, I continue to develop a wide range of skills. I have tutored elementary and middle school students in reading, mathematics, science, English grammar, writing skills, and study skills. I have tutore

Two things sent me back to college for a teaching degree: a belief that good reading and writing skills are a survival skill for children in today's world, and a desire to personally do something about it. It was my reading comprehension skills that enabled me to succeed in high-tech businesses without an engineering background, and it was my command of clear, persuasive writing that set me apart, time after time, from other candidates when I applied for promotions. I tutored for many years on a volunteer basis (reading, writing, and SAT.) For the last two years, I taught in typical Los Angeles public schools: overcrowded, noisy, underfunded, many struggling students, many foreign-born students. I learned more about how to teach English and writing in those two years than I would have thought possible. I have high expectations for all of my students. They know it, and when we're d
