I have a gentle yet focused approach to learning. During my academic years I excelled in learning. As an undergraduate I conducted a thesis with four undergraduate assistants. I graduated with honors earning my BA in Psychology. As a drug prevention counselor I had the opportunity to work with children of different ages. I feel I could be of benefit to any child in need of assistance. I am looking forward to establishing strong roots in this community. My teaching style is very personal. I try to teach from experience. I relate to children and listen to their concerns while encouraging their individual growth. It is very important to listen and then make them aware of their choices and their responsibility for their choices. It is also important to set an example through my own actions. I enjoy learning and feel that my enthusiam can be contagious. I get along very well with childre

I started tutoring as a result of my knowledge base and the needs of the young people I worked with. My first tutoring experience was with a young man who was studying pre-calculus. Since then, I have tutored in upper level mathematics, history and social studies, English composition, and basic sciences. I had a position as a history and social studies teacher for five years in a private school, and have also taught adult education and GED prep. My approach to education is extremely individualized. My students have taught me that we all learn differently, and that success is always reachable with patience and persistence. I find that creativity and a variety of approaches to learning are the keys to making this success happen.

While my formal education lends itself most to teaching social studies--a BA in both Political Science and Latin American Studies--my experiences teaching languages and my background in Spanish (native speaker) and French (near-native speaker) have prepared me well to teach foreign languages and language arts (English), as well. My studies at Amherst college and my work in civil rights and the legal fields fine-tuned my writing and communication skills, and my ability to breakdown grammatical and structural constructions in writing and speaking have been honed by teaching English as a foreign language to both children and professionals. I love teaching because I love learning. I understand that people learn in different ways, and part of what I find most interesting as a teacher is to look at a problem from different perspectives to find the solution that will make the most sense to a

For as long as I can remember I have been tutoring students in various subjects. My tutoring experience started when I was still in elementary school and has yet to be interrupted. I had the privilege of being a course assistant for two years during my undergraduate work, which gave me experience in front of the classroom as well as the skill of tutoring and facilitating study groups outside the classroom. I feel my strengths lie in the areas of Psychology, beginning Statistics, English, and Language Arts. I have also tutored in the areas of beginning Spanish and lower level Math. Having been raised by two teachers, education has always been an important aspect of my life. One of the most important aspects of education, I feel, is determining the most effective learning style for oneself and being able to study and process information using that method. I do not believe that there i

I enjoy working with children, and in one-on-one settings, I find it the most effective. I do demand alot from my students, especially considering the distractions and challenges children face these days. Emphasis on studying and school work remains my focus. I achieve that by a slow, deliberate teaching of methods that I hope the children find useful in the learning process. I focus on core fundamentals and critical thinking skills, applied to whatever subject I am helping with. Ultimately, the fundamental necessity is dedication, effort, and discipline on behalf of the student and myself to make this endeavor a success. My undergraduate degree in biochemistry provides a solid foudation in the sciences such as Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biology. The reading and writing skills I learned during my course studies further supplemented my overall skill sets, and make me a well r

As a graduate from the University of Northern Colorado with my BA in Elementary Education (k-6) I have had much experience working with children and adolescence. Because of my IDLA major I have a well rounded education based around teaching all content areas (Literacy, Math, Science, and Social Studies). My specialty is English and/or Literacy which was the emphasis of my degree. Over the last two years I have tutored ESL students in literacy and math. I have a drive for helping others learn and I am constantly trying to excel my students to achieve to the highest of their ability. I believe that every student can reach success through hard work and dedication. I have a true passion for teaching children. It is because of this love for kids and teaching that I like to run a love and logic classroom where actions are met with consequences that will benefit every child throughout their chi

My goal is to excite students about learning. I encourage my own children as well as those I teach in the classroom to focus first on finding at least one concept in each lesson that attracts them and about which they would like to know more. This philosophy helps to eliminate the student's perception that "I hate math" or "I'm not good at science." Secondly, I use text-to-self and text-to-world relationships to get students to recognize the broader application of subjects. Finally, I work hard to reach students with various learning styles (verbal, auditory, visual) and always make time for one-on-one reinforcement or re-teaching for students with special needs. As the daughter and sibling of educators, I have been teaching since I was 6 years old; I taught a 4-year old boy to write his name at an inner-city program. As a teenager I tutored a 9-year old girl in math. After graduatin

I have been teaching and working with children for the past 10 years in Montessori Schools, YMCAs, church groups, before and after school programs, city summer programs. In college I earned a degree in Applied Communications where I learned the art of effective communcation, through the mediums of writing, speaking and non verbal communication. I took many english classes, as well as education classes. I have been teaching yoga to people ages 2- 60+ here in Colorado Springs and in San Franisco for the past 4 years. My teaching style would be observe the child and then apply a teaching method that feels the best. Also allowing the child to show where they want to go through personal discovery.

I am a bright, patient, and good teacher. I have been tutoring professionally and on a volunteer basis for many years. I am a business professional who has an MBA and an undergraduate degree in liberal arts. Both degrees are from top ranked institutions. I enjoy working with children! I am patient and open to a variety of teaching and learning styles. I work by positively encouraging kids to want to learn and by finding what their "hot buttons" are to avoid instilling fear into them. When I teach kids, they actually want to learn and the results have been great!

I am currently striving towards being a career educator. Throughout my professional career I have always been responsible for training and mentoring my clients and employees. I was a substitute teacher in Florida where I taught middle school and high school students. I love to mentor and advise students in the most advanced and current teachings in the field. I believe that everyone has something that motivates and inspires them. It is up to us as educators to find those motivations and cultivate them.

I think good class materials, sufficient examples and explanations are important for effective learning. I believe it is the responsibility of the teacher to tutor students in an interesting and engaging manner. The teaching should show the elegance and beauty of the subject as well as its applicability to solve concrete and real world problems. Teaching is not just instructing or imparting information to students, but it is meant to empower students to take responsibility for their learning. While students must ultimately take responsibility for their own learning, a teacher can often inspire them to learn. As a teacher, I prefer to use my enthusiasm to help students get involved in the subject. Even when discussing hard scientific terms, I explain them with day to day things and analogies making it easy for the students to absorb. I am devoted to getting to know my students, like know

Working with/helping children is my passion. I believe that all children are capable of succeeding in life if given the proper tools and/or guidance.
