Teacher Cert Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Litchfield Park, AZ

I believe that each student learns differently, and that we need to target those learning styles and use them in ways that can help one another. I have been teaching for over ten years. It is not just a job, it is my passion. I love going into my classroom everyday and learning with my students. Together, we conquer the day in our curricular subjects, but also in our social environments all with a growth mindset and determinations. Do we make mistakes along the way? Yes, of course we do, but those are celebrated as learning opportunities, things that we can grow from. Learning and growing together makes every day exciting and fun! 1

Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various styles which is very effective. Teacher-centered, where the teacher is expert and authority in presenting information works well with students who need little direction from the instructor, and/or those who accept responsibility for their own learning. While in other situations, I will take a learner-centered approach thus viewing my role as more of a facilitator of student learning. In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating

My teaching style consists of teaching math with a holistic approach to the subject. I believe the best mathematics program is a well balanced one, consisting of concept work, guided and independent practice, mental math, and spiraled review. I believe in working with student's areas of strength, learning how they personally learn best, and building a stronger awareness of math sense and discrete math in order to be able to tackle new problems with more efficiency. I believe all students can learn and greatly enjoy working with students of different ages, backgrounds, ambitions and abilities. I have been a middle school teacher for the past three years at the Creighton School District. I am highly qualified not only to teach middle school math, but have passed the prestigious AEPA Mathematics (10) test to teach math up to Calculus. I hold a full double major in Mathematics, as well

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.

I have 36 years experience as a practicing actuary, including 21 years in consulting. As a consultant, I developed the ability to explain mathematical concepts to people who are not math-savvy. For the last six years, i have been teaching high school math full-time, while maintaining a part-time actuarial practice. I have enjoyed my time teaching and I have been a successful teacher. I have worked with students who had not received strong math instruction for many years, if ever, and have brought them up to a level where they could succeed. I enjoy seeing students develop an understanding of mathematical concepts and methods. I try to avoid lecturing, but have students come up with the methods of solving problems by themselves (with occasional hints or pointing in the right direction by me). I also emphasize problem solving and developing problem solving skills. One of my mentors t
