PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Las Cruces, NM

Flexible. I work with the student to meet expectations. As a 2009 graduate of the University of Texas at El Paso, holding a Bachelor of Arts, with a minor in English and American Literature, and with the teaching experience that I have gained in various fields since 2004, I feel that I am well-suited for this job. I have taught Reading ESL at the Transmountain EPCC Campus, as well as French at L’Alliance Francaise d’El Paso, and Spanish/ESL/French at La Paz Language Academy. I will also be teaching a Spanish beginners’ course at the History Museum of El Paso, giving evening classes to staff and community members, once a week, during the Fall semester of 2012. I have also tutored high school and college students in Ethics and in Literature courses, and still do so quite often. These positions enable me to provide these students with a “head start” in mastering basic skills. I am challeng

I am very passionate about educating others and have used my two Education degrees (Bachelor’s and Master’s) to work with students of all levels, especially in math. In my three years of full-time teaching experience, I have taught 6th grade math, 8th grade math, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-calculus, Trigonometry, and AP Calculus. Additionally, I have two years of experience tutoring elementary students in reading and writing, as well as volunteering many hours to help run educational programs for elementary through college age students. I absolutely love teaching and especially enjoy working with upper level students, although I love working with children as well. I believe every student has been given unique gifts and talents, but needs others to help them discover those abilities. As a teacher, I don't expect all my students to be "math geniuses" because their talents may be i

I have always loved teaching. I never had a desire to divert from teaching and become a counselor or an administrator. I have taught students from kindergarten to community college. I do not have a certification in math but I have taught k-8 math in special education classes and in mainstream classes through inclusion. I am familiar with many hands-on techniques and with drawing and writing explanations of the operation that was practiced. I have taught middle school science, social studies, health and Spanish classes. I am able to support the second language learner as well as the special needs learner. I am highly qualified in teaching reading, writing, literature and grammar. I can also facilitate computer lessons. I have good analytical and diagnostic skills. I am able to take students at their present levels of cognitive ability and help them to progress and also reinforce c

I love children and have a knack for connecting with them. I am enthusiastic, patient and conscientious. I believe real learning is a product of both mastering the basics and adapting whichever style suits a child's particular strengths for memory and understanding. I am able to nurture children in a way that makes them feel successful but that also fuels a desire to achieve. My educational background is in biology and medicine.My teaching experience has been in a pediatric office based clinical setting. I have participated in training medical students, residents and nursing students.I also have extensive experience working with young children, adolescents and their families. I have a great deal of experience counseling and addressing school failure and behavior problems.

I worked as a research assistant at Arizona State University until I graduated with my Bachelor's Degrees in psychology. This allowed me a great deal of hands on experience in applying mathematical and scientific principles in gathering data and doing statistical regressions. I have also worked as tutor independently for about the last 5 years, primarily in math and science for high school and college student. i have also helped with test prep for sat and ASVAB. No two people are alike, so my teaching style is to find out what a person's style of understanding is, and to frame my teaching around that. Some people need to hear it out loud, some need to write, some need a picture. In whichever case, I consider the material to be learned once the student can explain it back to me.

As an Engineer with 7 years of experience I have achieved excellent technical skills, which I have used when teaching Math and Science. I have tutored for 3 SES providers, including at-risk schools, where I gained experience on didactics and a cariety of pedagagogical skills. Also, since I have been substitute-teaching since 10/2010, I have gained knowledge and skill in pedadogy for a variety of subjects such as Math, Chemistry, Physics, English, Social studies, Communications and Web design. Finally, because of my experience as a Sales Representative, I have excellent communication skills in Englsih and Spanish. My teaching style is aligned to the Congnitive theory of Learning, in which I attempt to apply all of the following: 1. A review and connection to previously learned material and to material across disciplines 2. Presentation of material using language and ideas correspon

My teaching style is very flexible. Because I have worked with children, teenagers, and adults, the ability to adapt to the learner's ability level is especially important. Not all people learn at the exact pact, therefore, flexibility is essential as well as non traditional teaching methods. Some non traditional teaching methods I have applied include interpreting math problems through real life situations. I find that some kids will relate to NBA references while others prefer food examples. Either way, it keeps the child interested which is the key role of a good tutor. Although I listed only 2 years of prior instruction, I have taught over 5 years of business/finance related material. On a school level basis, I personally have a child with ADHD that I tutor at home. I am especially proficient in English/Language Arts. My research and writing skills are exceptionally keen due to the n

As a graduate of a selective liberal arts college with a BA in East Asian Studies, Magna Cum Laude, I am driven to achieve excellence in my endeavors. I specialized in international studies focusing on Asia, especially Japan and China. I studied Japanese intensively and studied abroad in Japan for 11 months. During that time I lived with two host families and in an international dorm while attending intesive Japanese classes at Nanzan University's Center for Japanese Studies. I have tutoring experience in English, Japanese, and Spanish. I am a native Spanish and English speaker. I also have specialized knowledge of environmental science and climate change. In the early sessions I ask my students a lot of questions to figure out their goals, problems, current knowledge and learning style. Based on what I find I build a teaching strategy. I then help them find appropriate materials if they

I ascribe to Gardner's 8 Stages of Intelligence theory, which purports the belief that every student is gifted, intelligent and capable of learning in a manner that conducive to their own unique style. As a teacher, I use myself as a tool to help facilitate the learning process. I have a social work background which, in my work has always been integrated with some component of teaching, both in and out of the classroom. I can teach most K-12 subjects, college prep courses and provide tutoring services including assessment and curriculum development. I tend to be rather versatile in my teaching methods as I adapt to the learning style of the student. It's what I have found most effective in improving the quality of their educational experience. I play tournament chess and enjoy coaching chess club as well.

I believe that every child has the ability to be a great student, each child just goes about learning in a different manner. I am a very patient person and I strongly believe that children need patience and understanding when in the educational setting. It is very important, to me, that every child learns the passion of education from the very beginning since this will set the tone for their educational experience for the remainder of their lives. I am a firm believer in a child learning through hands on experiences and instruction and making learning interesting for them in a way that will not only catch their attention but keep them engaged in the subject as well as help them retain what they have learned. I have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Multidisciplinary studies focusing on English as well as Communication. I am in the process of gaining my certification in Special Education and

I've worked numerous jobs, none of which were fulfilling except the ones where I worked with children, particularly students who were troubled or had learning disabilities. I was a theatre major in college, so you might be quick to think I was a flake or someone who just coasted by through college, but I graduated with a 3.7 GPA, receiving some of my best scores in Logic and History, but my favorite subject was Shakespearean literature. I've worked with many children over the years in both a daycare and classroom setting, some easier than others, but I respected and enjoyed working with all of them. I have a fun and vibrant personality and a great sense of humor which draws people in. My passion and joie de vivre is infectious. I'm not going to lie; I hated school when I was younger. Some people might think this a drawback when hiring someone as a tutor, but I think it has made me m
