I have always enjoyed creating art. In high school I took all the art classes I could. I went on to study art in college. I learned studio art as well as classroom management. After college I taught art for two years at Mount Vernon high school in Illinois. I taught basic art classes as well as junior and senior design classes. I have also taught art for three years at the Christian Activity Center in East St. Louis Illinois. I developed and taught the art program for the elementary students. My style is flexible according to the needs of the students.

I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand. It is a pleasure to watch students grow in skill and comprehension and move toward confidence. I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for submission

Speaking to children of all ages comes naturally to me. My parents both love being teachers and have been in the game for over 30 years a piece! I traveled to schools to give presentations on my marine mammal experiences to grades K-8. I currently work for the Education Department at the Saint Louis ZOO where we strive to keep learning a blast! I believe learning sticks when it's fun and stumbled upon! A GOOD teacher can be a gift and set a fire in a child or young adult to take on the world! I love sharing my passion for learning and understanding. I hope it's contagious! I have always had a knack for the sciences and left the Midwest to follow my love of Marine Biology. While in school, I revisted my interest in the arts (painting, piano, and animation). It was then I realized I was passionate about so many topics and didn't want to limit myself to one thing! I've worked wit

Tutored inner-city and disadvantaged students in elementary English and math for 1 year. TA’ed undergraduate finance class, options pricing, for 1 year. Co-lead two Bible studies groups for one year; one of which was composed of students from a primarily Caucasian student fellowship as well as students from an all-Asian fellowship. During my junior and senior year in college, I TA’ed a finance class called options pricing for two semesters. Options pricing was a difficult subject. I worked very hard to receive an A- for the course, which turned out to be my favor. I had insight to the intellectual hurdles other students had to overcome to master the material. So, teaching them came very naturally. In addition, I abandoned the lecture format for a very interactive teaching format. This allowed the students to ask many questions and allowed me to gage the level of comprehension from

I believe that one of the most important aspects of a successful teaching relationship is understanding both the student's personal learning style and what motivates him or her. I care deeply about the success of the students I work with and am able to adapt my teaching techniques to meet each student's personal needs. I strive to not only give my students greater knowledge, but greater confidence as well. I do that with the hope that our sessions not only help them to develop in our areas of interest, but also help them to become more successful students overall. After graduating from Duke University with a BS in Economics and a Minor in Psychology, I moved to New York City to work in a large financial institution. During my two years there I volunteered as a mentor and tutor to a 7th/8th grader, a college counselor to a high school senior, and a career mentor to a middle aged woman who

I’m passionate about teaching, learning and personal growth. Supporting students as they develop their skills and knowledge of a field of study is incredibly rewarding. I draw educational materials from published sources as well as reputable sources online. I present material that a student can master then build upon their success week after week. If a certain approach isn’t working well, I’ll consider other methods to teaching the content. I work to determine the best media and methods for a given student dealing with certain subject matter. My education and work experience have combined technical and scientific expertise with an understanding of human psychology and the significance of self-expression. I earned a B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Cornell University. I subsequently earned a Master of Architecture degree from Washington University in St. Louis and have man

I have accumulated 92 credit hours toward a Bachelor of Science in Education with an emphasis in Art. Currently I am involved with the Y-Read volunteer program and for the past few years have tutored one on one with adolescent children specifically in Reading and Language Arts. I have 2 years experience teaching one on one ESL to adults. I am a certified Foster Parent with the St. Louis Social Services Department. I have mentored to a "high risk" adolescent child in St. Louis City public schools. My academic interests are in the Arts, English and in combination with helping the child build confidence and esteem in their life. Advocacy for the child is of utmost importance to me and working one on one with a child is a huge building block to enable the child to succeed. My attributes as a tutor are found in my gentle, fun loving, creative spirit. I am firm about learning and always follow

As a college graduate, I have a passion for education and want to do all I can to see the youth of America excel. I am returning to school in pursuit of a 2nd Baccalaureate Degree in Elementary Education. I believe there is a need for the youth to prosper and education is key. I have experience in substitute teaching/tutoring from K-12 in the Alton School District and have also tutored adult college students in English courses. Education truly is a love of mine. I love educating and much rather provide a fun and hands-on approach when teaching my students. I do not believe in the word can’t. That word takes me to a level where I am determined to help the students understand that all things are possible. I believe in hard work, persistency, and participation. I understand that each student learns on a different level and I am prepared to make a curriculum based on each student’s n

I have a Bachelor's degree in History and an Associate's in Process Technology. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. I possess excellent math skills and took statistics in college. I enjoy helping others and feel I am a good fit for this position. I do not have a specific teaching style. Everyone is different, so one particular type of teaching style may not be as effective as another. In order to be effective, I think it is important to recognize the students strengths and weaknesses before embarking on a certain learning path.

I believe the biggest key to learning is finding a way for students to relate to the information. Getting to know the student and relating thier interests to the material at hand is key to making a connection. I also believe it is critical to remain positive and supportive with students. At some point every student becomes frustrated by material that is challenging to them. By being able to keep students in a positive state of mind and by keeping the material fresh and fun, students will be more willing and able to continue the learning process. While my area of expertise is physical education, I have gained great experience in other areas of education while searving as an in house substitute for Highland Elementary.
