I believe in a hands-on teaching approach that will enable a child to use various learning ways to accomplish their goals. I find it important for a child to be taught in his or her own learning style. It is my job to understand that learning style and then create an educational plan that meets the needs of the child. This teaching style has allowed many of past students to reach their goals and potential. My goal is student achievement and helping a student overcome any obstacle to meet his/her goal. I am an elementary teacher with many years of teaching and tutoring experience in various settings. I teach all subjects daily and utilize my degree and experience to teach my students their core material. I have researched, designed, and implemented various lessons to meet the needs of my pupils. I have the ability to analyze a child and pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses, then

Every student is different so my teaching style consists of learning about the student and speaking with them from a common/relational level.I have been very fortunate to have been taught and trained by the best in the field and would like to share this knowledge. As a communication design and illustration major, I studied technique and process from one of the best institutions in the field. I am also working towards an Associate of Science degree in Web Design and Digital Media to further my knowledge. I do not have experience training on an education level, but I do have years of experience training artists as an art director for Hiro Yamagata Studios in Los Angeles , California and the Museum of Flying/DC3 Restaurant in Santa Monica , California.

I love children and enjoy seeing their faces light up when something "clicks". I believe in being both consistent and flexible because all children want to know that your are going to be there for them and no child learns the same way. I am extremely comfortable around children of all age groups and especially like teaching children with special needs. My patience and fun loving attitude have served me well as a Substitute Teacher and I believe in my heart that I have made a difference in the lives of the kids I have had the priviledge of teaching. Each one, Teach one. I find it very rewarding to be a part of a childs education. I have an enormous amount of patience and a desire to see individuals do well and help them reach their goals and exceed their expectations. I have been working as a Substitute Teacher for the past four years and have held quite a few long term assignments at

As I mentioned above I have worked with all age groups of students and feel that I am very patient and flexible. I strive to have students be the best they can be by giving them confidence to want to learn. I believe in giving students the opportunity to try and put into practice that which they are learning so it is very experiencial providing a very well rounded educational experience. I believe in the saying that if you give someone a fish they will eat for a day but if you teach some to fish they will eat for a lifetime. I have worked in the field of education for the past 15 years but have worked with youth in all of my career since graduating from college in 1983.

Besides family, faith, and good health, there is nothing I value more than my education. As a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, I have earned a bachelor degree in Science-Business. This new field incorporates the work of a Biology major with the fundamental requirements of a Business major. I am now in the process of applying to dental school, thus have extensive experience with essays and standardized tests. Throughout my academic career I have meticulously planned, prepared, and executed a plan for success. As a life long athlete, I understand the importance of a team. Parents, tutors, and children must work together to succeed. I also realize the importance of strategy; each team has a different method to achieve their goal. Be it verbal, visual, audial, physical, there are multitudes of different ways to have success inside and outside of the classroom. My personal success wo

I love to see the success in children's eyes. I am patient and kind, but have big expectations. I believe in active engaged learning and using higher levels of thinking when possible.Having a special education background, I believe all children can learn at their own developmental rate. I celebrate even the smallest success and truly mean it. Even though, I have been in administration, I continued to teach in classrooms, mentor and tutor students. So often, the appreciation of the students and parents has been afforded to me. My Bachelor's degree was in Special education. I became certified in elementary education in Arizona. I taught school( 1 year in high school, 2 years in 1&2 combo, 1 1/2 years in self contained special ed grades 5-8(relocated, 9 years in grade 3, 2 years in grade 4.

While I have been working on my Elementary Education degree I have had the opportunity to teach young children. I have also spent the last two semesters taking methods classes, learning to teach different subjects. I have spent many years babysitting, 2 years teaching an 18 month old basics (counting, abc's, colors, phrases) and eventually complete sentences. For a year I worked with a 4th grader helping with homework and tutoring her in reading and spelling. I have also spent 2 summers working with a 2nd/3rd grader on spelling, basic English concepts, sentences, and reading. I really enjoy working with children, primarily in the lower grades. I am patient, caring, and easy going. I strongly believe that children are most successful when they are able to learn through doing. I feel that it is very important to teach using multiple modalities rather than just speaking to a child. For m

Because I had such a hard time learning and focusing in a regimented, institutional-type learning setting in school, and yet was a brilliant child, I teach extremely well in a relational more relaxed approach. Rather than "shove information down throats" I am interested in each individual, and to get to know their personality and learning style. I have found that when there is relationship and trust between the mentor and the student, not only does the student learn the information more effectively, but as the mentor, I am able to teach and speak more clearly. Rather than lecturing or preaching at them about what I think life should be like for them, I take them hiking, out to eat, to movies etc. I have always had a heart to help others become the best that they can be. For the last 2 1/2 years, I have been taking in troubled teens into my home and being directly involved in coaching the

My teaching style is very hands-on, exploratory and structured. I expect my students to work hard, stay focused, and give effort. I can work with any skill level of student and I motivated to try different techniques to ensure they not only learn the material but also apply it. I believe all children can learn, but it is up to me to find what works for the individual. I am a graduate student at ASU studying Education Administration. I have experience working with students of all ages 5-17. I currently work in a middle school and spend my weekends teaching life skills to troubled youth. I have taught for over 6 years and I plan to continue teaching for as long as I can. I enjoy working with children and sharing my passion for learning. I participate in ongoing professional development to be a better educator and I am always for looking for new ways of teaching children.

As an applicant who holds three degrees, I have always wanted to attain the best education my mind and finances could allow. I have earned three degrees, A.S. in Animal Science, B.S. in Christian Ministries, and a Masters in Substance Abuse Counseling which has given me advanced experience in grammatical and writing skills. I have also been an intern at elementary schools for 6 months when I was an education major, which has given me an opportunity to work with grade school students and help them with their schoolwork. I have a very hands on approach to teaching, which will allow the student to understand and to apply the skills that I have taught them. One of my greatest gifts is that I am very patient, and passionate about helping students succeed. My goal is to see students learn and to be able to apply it when needed.
