My love for working with children is evident in my academic accomplishments and commitment to learning. During undergraduate school I worked for three years as a substitute teacher. In 2005 I graduated Cum Laude with a BS in Elementary Education. I then worked as a classroom teacher for three years in Florida and Alabama. My desire to improve my craft and my ability to serve my students lead me to complete a Masters Degree in Elementary Reading and Literacy. As a teacher it is my privilege to create a safe learning environment in which children are free to learn and explore. I believe that it is my responsibility to create lifelong learners by transferring my love of learning to students through a variety of activities and learning techniques. I strive to create child centered learning environments where adults serve as facilitators rather than dictators. It has been by experience th

In school I took a class that taught us that everyone learns in a different way. Just like how everyone sees things from different perspectives. After taking that class I realized that there is not just one way to teach or learn. I feel learning should be educational but fun. Repetition is also important. These aspects should all be combined in order to successfully help children learn. I am friendly, easy going, and like to have a good time. Learning does not have to be a chore but can be an exciting experience that a child can enjoy and appreciate. I worry that children think learning is boring and not worth their effort. One good experience can open a child's eyes to the opportunities around them. As a graduate of the University of Louisville I feel I have developed a knowledge base to further my career. I earned a BA in a subject that I greatly enjoy to study, History. Within the art

I have always loved working with children. I believe that children have different learning styles and it is an educators job to discover what learning style each student has. I believe all children should be given high expectations. They rise to meet their expectations. I believe all children can succeed if given the appropriate experiences. If a child isn't succeeding, it is the educators job to try something new. I am patient and understanding. I get along with all types of people. I look forward to being a positive role model in your child's educational experience. I hold a BS degree in elementary education. I have taught kindergarten, first grade and fifth grade. I have been a tutor for Sylvan Learning Centers. Since having children, I have worked part-time as a homebound teacher and as assistant director and curriculum coordinator at the Mother’s Day Out where my children

My teaching style changes based on the learning style of my students. Some are more concrete and others are more abstract. I am comfortable teaching at all levels of both the cognitive and affective domains. I enjoy working one on one with students and tailoring lesson plans to help the student get the most out of a class. I typically introduce a concept or principle, describe why the principle is important, provide a variety of illustrations, then let the student try some exercises. I then have the student walk through each of these four categories to make sure they have a thorough understanding of the topic and how it relates to what we have learned in previous lessons. I have 10 years of accounting, external/internal audit and operations experience with KPMG, Overhead Door Corp, and PepsiCo, Inc. In addition I have an additional 15 years of overall business leadership experience

I began tutoring at the age of 13. I was hired by the Los Angeles School District of California as an after school student tutor. Through out high school and college I was a member of several community service clubs that took part in community outreach tutoring in elementary, middle, and high schools. In 2001 I began working as an SAT tutor for the University of California, Irvine's Early Academic Outreach Program. I conducted after school (7th period) classes that included up to 20 students as well as individual one-on-one tutoring. In 2004 I was hired as an Educational Therapist working with a child psychologist and providing academic support for students with varying abilities. As an Educational Therapist for the Center for Learning and Behavioral Solutions I had the opportunity to work with children with ADD, ADHD, Autism, as well as other special needs.

I am extremely friendly and love helping students learn my passion, accounting. I have experience in helping students with disabilities, and currently tutor a student with a disability. I really love the interaction I have with students, and my track record shows I know what I am doing - I have never had a student who did not increase their GPA after coming to me multiple times. I really prefer the student have looked over the material before coming to me, so we can target problem areas and avoid areas in which the student has gained a thorough understanding. I am a certified CRLA (College Reading and Learning Association) Level 2 tutor, and have tutored over 150 hours at UAH. A majority of those hours were logged as I played collegiate baseball for UAH as a pitcher. I will be graduating in May with my Master's degree in accounting, but would love to continue tutoring on the side.

The first thing I do with any new student is identify his or her learning style so that I may incorporate those specific strategies into my lesson for an effective and personalized learning experience. My lessons are very interactive, and a main aspect is to nurture critical thinking. After setting up a situation, I will pose problems for the student to solve. Critical thinking is necessary in order to navigate foreign grammar and truly understand the material. I began to realize my love and aptitude for tutoring as a volunteer Japanese instructor for the Daikin home-stay program in 2006. The next two years I volunteered my time with Rosie's International Services tutoring Spanish. At the beginning of the Spring 2008 semester, the Head of the Foreign Language Department, Dr. Maier, submitted my name to a tutoring department at UAH, where I worked tutoring Spanish, Japanese, Latin, Chines

I graduated from Wake Forest in 2008, double-majoring in Mathematics and Physics. I also took some courses in the Education Department, and substitute taught for public high schools and middle schools in Winston-Salem, NC and Metairie, LA. I have worked in tutoring programs for elementary school children approximately twice a week for a total of twelve months. I have recently learned HTML, PHP, and Javascript programming languages, and am the designer and programmer for the Facebook application Harry Potter House Sort. I think educators must take into account the different ways in which students learn. For instance, I've noticed that math students may have difficulty adding and subtracting fractions, but have no trouble whatsoever when I ask about dimes and quarters. If an instructor can build a bridge between new material and material the student has already mastered, the stu

I enjoy working with kids to reach their fullest potential. I have high expectations because I believe all kids can learn. The role I like best is that of motivator and facilitator. My dream for students is that they become life-long lovers of learning...not just life-long learners. I attempt to model for them this love of learning by sharing my own experiences as a reader and writer. I encourage risk-taking and ownership. I do not believe in spoon feeding students; there is some "wailing and gnashing of teeth" at times,but students are always so proud of themselves when they reach their academic goals. I have taught for over twenty years from 4th grade to 9th grade; for the last nineteen years, I have taught English at the middle school level. I began my career teaching 4th grade. I have also taught 5th grade and 6th grade English and Math. I am highly qualified in Reading K-12 a

For the past 2.5 years, I have been in middle and high schools working with English teachers and students. Though I often worked as a substitute, I was able to teach students lessons and work left by teachers who knew of my experience and knowledge of Language Arts. I received a MA in English Education from University of Alabama in Huntsville as well as a BA in English and Theatre from Union University. I am Highly Qualified with the state of Alabama and have been trained through the Alabama Reading Initiative. I have spent years working with students and am comfortable teaching and tutoring students of all ages. I believe in interactive learning. Students learn best when they are in a safe environment, which I can provide. I have experience breaking down large assignments and helping students to accomplish one task at a time.

My experience in education is vast. I have earned a BA in elementary education. I have worked for eight years as a teacher in the education field. I also have a MAED in Early Childhood. I have also taught a Kindergarten class in church school for a year as well as serving as church school superintendent. I also have experience in working in a home preschool for one year during college. I have past and recent experience working as a a substitute teacher in Huntsville, AL as well as Flint, MI and surrounding areas. The best way to describe my teaching style is flexible. I don't limit myself to one style because I've never taught one type of child. Students are diverse and as a teacher my style of teaching must also be diverse. I believe in modeling and hands-on learning experiences. Students need to see new concepts worked through correctly. They should then show understanding of material

I love teaching and working with all children. Being a special educator, I focus my teaching style towards the needs of the student. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe in multicultural education which is the acceptance of all students from diverse backgrounds given equal status and accommodations to build on their learning modality. Some students are auditory learners, some learn better visually like myself, some are kinesthetic or tactile learners who need more hands on activities. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. As a Summa Cum Laude graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a BS in Business Administration, and a BS alo
