My experience has taken me across grade levels as well as across the world. In college, I studied educational methods, theories and philosophies as well as human development. During this time, I participated in classroom practicums (aiding with individual/ small group instruction) and then eventually student taught full-time for 1st and 5th grade. Over the summers, I worked abroad in Germany and Italy with children on military bases for a program called Camp Adventure Youth Services. I provided educational and recreational services for children and youth from ages 5-11. During the academic years, I worked at after school programs helping with homework for the Boys and Girls Club based in Corvallis. While earning my Master's in Scotland, I worked for a similar program at a private school called George Heriot's with children and youth from ages 5-11. Once, I returned back to Eugene, I earn

I am now several courses into my Master's of Literature program, and my passion is in English literature. I love the stories of Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters,(Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Shakespeare, as well as being well versed in poetry, I love the romantic poets like Byron, Keats and Shelly as well as John Donne, Shakespeare's sonnets and many others. Literature is my deepest passion and I will have a blast covering such topics with you! Passionate, sensitive, enriching, and fun. After all, we only retain what is worth it to us to remember! My name is Katie and I am excessively fond of literature, poetry and especially Shakespeare. When I was 13 years old I saw Romeo and Juliet and have been a literature addict ever since. This is why I am an English major who is now a couple of courses into her Master's literature program. My dream is to one day be a professor of Romanticism

I hold a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies, providing me with a well-rounded college education. In addition to that, I am currently seeking a Masters degree in Education. At the end of this program, I will hold a teaching license. I love learning and encouraging others to strive to do their best. I have worked with all age groups (elementary through college age students), mentoring and teaching them along the way. I don’t have a preferred age group to work with, as I believe there are advantages to each age group. I am going to be specialized in the social sciences once I have my teaching license, but I have worked with not only that subject, but math, English, science, and writing. I love working with people and have done my best to always be doing so throughout my life. While in high school, I tutored and mentored other high school students.

I love working with people from a wide spectrum of ages, backgrounds, and abilities. I believe everyone has a capacity to learn and grow, and I find great personal enjoyment in seeing a struggling student begin to blossom. I am patient, supportive, and compassionate. I greatly enjoy my current job, but miss the opportunity to be involved in human growth and education. I would love the opportunity to help students to find their own personal academic success. I come from a family which highly values broad education in all fields. My degree in Studio Art allowed me to explore a broad range of academic topics. During college I volunteered at the California Raptor Center in raptor rehab and education, participating in community outreach and educational programs with students of all ages, from kindergarten to senior citizens.

I love the field of education and am especially talented when it comes to working with elementary-aged students (all subjects). I enjoy tutoring older students in Spanish (I'm fluent), history, English, social studies, reading and E.S.L. My weak subjects for older students are math and science. I have a B.A. in Social Work with a Spanish minor. I have teaching certificates in elementary ed., special ed., teaching English as a 2nd Language & Spanish. I have an M.A. in International Relations. I have tutored students in E.S.L., reading, writing, Spanish and elementary math. I strongly believe that education is a life-long learning experience, that children are able to learn from each other, that a teacher can facilitate the learning process and that students and teachers are able to learn from each other. I endorse the theory that all children can learn, but also recognize that they

Everyone has a distinct learning style and attitude. I relish the opportunity to present subject matter to students in the precise manner that invokes that "eureka" moment where they finally achieve understanding of something that has frustrated, intimidated, or eluded them. I use humor and positive reinforcement to inspire confidence in my students. I believe that all people can learn, regardless of age or experience. They just need the proper guide. I am driven to learn as well as to teach. I have a BS in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences and an MA in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, both of which have afforded me great experience not only in the sciences but also in writing skills. Over the last 11 years, I have taught and tutored students from elementary-aged to adult in English, writing, science, math, and test prep.

My philosophy, and my approach as an English tutor is a holistic one. I have worked with students from the elementary level to the university level, and one thing has become evident to me, that students can and do improve academically provided they are given the appropriate support. It has been my experience that students benefit from an academic approach that incorporates self-esteem skills in conjunction with integrating academic tools for success. It is my belief that once students are able to begin expressing ideas, views, content, and thoughts, reading and writing skills automatically begin to develop. I have the ability to gain students trust, which facilitates growth on both an academic and personal level. I believe a good tutor/teacher acts as a mirror for students in which he/she can see progress as a wise tutor is only a reflection of a student. My approach is to

I have graduated the University of Oregon in 2003 with a BA in Spanish Literature and a minor in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching. I have a lot of experience teaching children and young adults English as well as Spanish. I have also worked in a public elementary school as an educational assistant and am familiar with different learning styles and pedagogies. I have extensive editorial skills due to writing research papers and reports in graduate school and am familiar with many different writing styles. I love teaching and helping children accomplish their goals. I am patient and respectful, as well as empathetic. My objective is to help the student reach an in-depth understanding of the subject matter, as well as inspire the student to learn more about the topic. I think that children learn in many different ways and l cater my lessons to the child's appropriate learning style a

I'm a very motivated and ambitious individual. I have achieved a lot, but am still trying to accomplish all of my educational goals.

As a Graduate Teaching Fellow (GTF) in the Philosophy Department at the University of Oregon, I assist faculty by running two weekly 50-min discussion sections of approximately 30 students, and I am responsible for evaluating these sixty students' work for the class, particularly written work, and exams. This year I have acted as a GTF in the following courses: Phil 110 (Human Nature), Phil 102 (Ethics), and PHil 170 (Philosophy of Love and Sex). As a Writing Associate at Swarthmore College (2002-2005), I was hired and trained by Swarthmore College to tutor Swarthmore students in academic writing. I conference with the students of an assigned course to aid them in revising essays for that course. I advised students on a drop-in basis at Writing Center. As a senior, I was appointed to mentor WAs in training. Also during my Swarthmore career, I acted as student grader for an introductory l

Teaching is my passion. I am very close to my students, and I pride myself on making a personal connection with my students and being able to address their individual needs. As a young teacher, I am fully prepared to take on the responsibilities of my own classroom, but I am always looking for ways to improve my pedagogical approach and thus look forward to working with peers and supervisors. Because I was a grad student in English, I have ample experience writing and editing. I was able to individually tutor fellow students through the years and thus have experience working one-on-one with students. At both the Institute of Reading Development and CSULB I had the chance to work with all ages, nationalities, and ability levels, something I found immensely enjoyable. Although these jobs were focused on teaching in front of a classroom, they also supplied me with ample time to work ind

I absolutely adore children and the innocence and passion they bring to my life. I believe each child has his or her own particular learning style and method that works best for him as well as his or her own academic struggles. It is a teacher's job to find out what way to best reach each child individually and as a group. Children require much patience and understanding but also lots of fun and laughter. I believe that one great teacher can stand out in a child's mind and heart for an entire lifetime. As a water safety instructor for the past 10 years, I have worked with children and adults of all ages and at all levels. I am passionate about teaching and about children. I have several years' experience working in the public schools for my practicum and observation hours working towards my teaching certification.

Everybody comes to the table with different strengths and, yes, different weaknesses. With a personable, conscientious approach that respects both, students can surprise themselves with what they can achieve. By starting with what you know and expanding outward, instead of starting with what you don’t and working backward, the groundwork for lasting understanding can be laid. Guidance toward discovery, not spoon fed rote repetition, ends in learning. There is no single easy way to teach everyone, yet everyone can be taught to harness their own potential. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been interested in the written word. While pursuing further understanding of a wide range of literature, I earned a BA degree in English literature while maintaining a focus in Philosophy, a core element to critical thinking. Throughout my student life, I combined the grammatical and structural s
