Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lock Springs, MO

I have 31 + yrs of teaching experience, retired in 2015. I taught 3rd grade, and 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th grade math. I am presently tutoring math at NCMC in Trenton, MO in Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra. I also have done some HISET teaching and Upward Bound. My current maximum hrs of 550 hrs of teaching from the Retirement System keeps me from doing the latter two because I am mostly focusing on NCMC tutoring. I am clearly interested in doing some private math tutoring. Having taught in the elementary and clear up through 8th grade, I am aware of different learning styles and attempt to do what I can to use a variety of teaching strategies. I feel I can attempt to find the math learning gaps with a student and go forward with them enhancing their math skills.

My teaching style is very interactive with the student. The student is provided with the skill and information on the subject and then they explain their knowledge and understanding of that subject. This is either done to fellow classmates in a "student teacher" role or to me. Accepted to an internship with International Ergonomics Corporation in 1990. Experience in industrial injuries, taught back safety courses, performed Functional Capacity Evaluation, Job Risk Analysis, and Job Placement Testing.

I have been teaching in the elementary and middle school classrooms for 13 years. I have worked as an after school tutor during many school years with 5-12 graders. In addition to the tutoring, I also directed an after school gifted and talented program where students engineered, designed, and created new inventions. I was a counselor at Camp Invention during the year 2011 which was another opportunity to engage students in learning outside of the classroom. I have been the director of Spring Break school in urban Kansas City which was an intensive tutoring program for students.

Individual and focus of student's specific learning modalities. My passion is education and I have more than thirty successful years of teaching students with diverse learning abilities and learning styles. As an educator, I am most rewarded when I can witness with the student that "Ah,ha" moment when they understand a concept or have mastered a problem solving activity.

I have tutored in Beginning Algebra while I was in college. As a senior to complete my general education requirements, I needed a 3 hour math course. In return for tutoring, the department head allowed me to take the intermediate algebra class after I had completed College Algebra. My undergraduate degree in Political Science allows me to be well versed in American and World history.

I prefer teaching at home in a quiet environment, or at a library. There is a French adage that goes, À coeur vaillant rien d'impossible. “Nothing is impossible with a willing heart.” French is not an easy language to learn, but if you study hard, you can be fluent in French. I speak French ever since I was little. My country was a French colony that's why our official language is French. I won several awards when I grew up. I participated in a writing contest called "Concours d'orthographe de l'ocean Indien" when I was nine years old. I won an award with "mention bien" after the contest. I also participated in a writing contest in French with SADC (Southern African Development Community". I also won first place for that. These are my experiences. I went to college in Kansas City, MO. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science. I am going back to school in the Fall to stud

While in high school I completed two years in a practicum that put me in a classroom working one on one with students my junior and senior years. I completed my undergraduate degree in Middle School Education with an emphasis in Language Arts. I taught four years of Language Arts and Reading at a small rural school south of St. Joseph, and now I am back in school obtaining my Master's in Reading Education. I also have extensive training in working with students with dyslexia. I have always loved teaching and working with students. My mother is a teacher of almost 30 years, so I have the importance of education ingrained in me. I do believe that every student can learn, some are just a little harder to reach than others. I am trained in a variety of teaching techniques and pride myself on being able to work through the strategies with students to find one that will work. I do believ

During my Junior and Senior year of college, I tutored at a Children's Home in Lubbock, TX, 3 nights a week. I have also taught Sunday School classes off and on for the past 15 years for ages 1 year to 14 years old. I volunteer on a regular basis at my son's school, and have worked with the students primarily with Math and English. I enjoy working with, and teaching, kids, especially in Math. I teach with creative tactics, when necessary, to drive home a concept. I am patient with kids (hey, I have 3 of my own!), and find it rewarding when I can make a difference.

Students have described me as a very caring and kind educator. I take the time to explain how and why things are different in foreign languages. In the beginning of the year (or when I get a new student), I take the time out to give the student a quiz that helps determine what learning style they are based off of seven different learning styles. This helps the students learn not only about themselves in my class, but also in others as well. I also use this information to develop lesson plans around the needs of the students. This allows the students to participate in a wide array of learning activities, continue to be engaged, and learn the target language seven different ways. Spanish and teaching have always been passions of mine that I have been fortunate enough to make a career out of doing and using both. I have a bachelor's degree (BA) in Spanish with a teaching certificate and I a

I have two children of my own and understand that all people learn in their own way. I have proven success with helping children find the way to learn that works best for them. Both of my kids are in the talented and gifted programs at school. I am patient but firm and do not like to waste time or money. I love to watch a person figure it out and see the confidence building smile when the ideas finally start to click. My goal is to teach a person to learn on their own, think on their own and realize that they can accomplish anything once they learn how. I have extensive experience in the field of Business Management particularly in Accounting. I graduated from Rockhurst University, a Jesuit University well known for its business graduates. I have owned my own business and worked as an independent contractor for the last six years in the Kansas City area. I have spent time volunteer

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. Watching a student light up after learning how to do something is the greatest thing for me. I believe children can learn and be successful but each in different ways. I believe we as teachers must use differentiated instruction to help all students learn. My students learn immediately that I care about them and desire for them to be successful learners. I ask them to do their best in everything they do and believe in themselves. We celebrate even the smallest achievements in my class. Learning can and should be fun with just a little imagination on my part. I believe we can help all students achieve if given the appropriate environment, tools, and experiences. After graduating with an Early Childhood/Elementary degree, I took the 3-6 year old Montessori training. I began teaching in a private Montessori school for 5 years. I then work

I have an affinity for foreign languages after growing up in Europe and the United States. I speak fluent Spanish as well as Swedish, my native tongue. This gives me a unique appreciation of different cultures. I earned an undergraduate degree in Spanish at the University of Missouri-Columbia and then solidified my classroom abilities by earning a Master of Education from Rockhurst University. I will share my enthusiasm for learning with my students. I love incorporating fun and different ways to learn language skills with my students that include acting, art, games and speaking. I am always looking for ways to make lessons more engaging.
