I treat math phobias and anxiety with respect. I teach students to be relentless when conquering their math problems. With the younger crowd, I often turn it into a game. With older kids and teens, I stress the importance of exposure and repetition. I've taught in a Preschool classroom at my church for 1 year, and I've been a substitute teacher for the 2nd grade classroom at my church for 2 years. I've homeschooled two children for the past 11 years, and I've spent two years as a math instructor at a homeschool co-op. I've also worked as a tutor for Eastern Washington University's Computer Sciene Department for 2 years, and I've mentored several co-workers in software development over the past 28 years.

I often work with students who struggle learning in the conventional classroom. I love to see my students achieve and be excited about what they accomplish. My tutoring style is to listen to the student to discover the root of the problem that is blocking learning. Understanding the student, their frustrations, and their learning style is crucial to assisting them. Discovering what methods work best with each student can become key. Making the subject real and applicable to their world also brings great results. I never under estimate the effect of enthusiasm and a since of self-confidence to boost learning, and strive to bring both to the experience. I have 25 years of experience as a classroom teacher. I have also taught students in small group and 1 to 1 settings. I have a passion for education. My current teaching certificates are in Elementary Education, Physical Education, Remedial

I love helping and teaching children. I have given riding lessons to all ages of children for years, realizing there is no better feeling than helping children accomplish their goals. I would love to help children in any way I can to meet their academic goals, I know what it is like to have to study hard for what you want to accomplish. Being 25 I feel, and just being a graduate myself, I think can be a way to relate to the children and what they are trying to achieve. I would love to gain this type of experience and would really enjoy this type of work. I also have had a lot of psychology classes and feel that I am good at connecting with people and understanding the problems they are trying to get through. I just graduated from PLU with a degree in Business, a concentration in human resources, and a minor in psychology. I maintained a high GPA throughout my college experience and gradu

With nearly a lifetime of teaching youth and adult learners, I have focused on teaching computer skills in the more recent period of my career. Computer skills include the physical use of the PC (personal computer) and Microsoft Office software—Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Windows. In my classes, I also included the teaching of good writing skills for my students to use in writing their term papers. Other subject proficiencies include psychology, sociology, math-statistics, history, physics and library skills. I taught to engage the audio, visual and kinesthetic capabilities of each student in the learning process. I encouraged note taking by creating handout outlines of the information being covered and students inserted notes into each section of the outlines and I used physical objects to demonstrate how computer systems work and students took apart, put together and troubleshot th

I spent most of my high school and college career honing my writing and reading ability, and through four years of English classes I have developed excellent writing skills. Additionally, my computer and internet knowledge has grown through my studies and professional work. I feel comfortable with all styles of writing, and enjoy discussing writing and reading with all age groups. I also enjoy studying chemistry and science, and I excelled at both in high school and in college. I have been working with students for a year and a half as an after school specialist with the YMCA and a tutor in the Issaquah area. I like to instill in students a desire to learn. It makes it easier for them to have fun learning and easier for me to teach them new subjects. My first goal as a tutor, especially in reading and writing, is to connect with the student and find a topic that interests them. One of t

After graduating from high school with honors in both the International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement programs, I went on to earn two bachelor degrees from the University of the Pacific, one in International Relations and the other in French Language and Literature, in addition to a Minor in Economics. While earning my BA in French, I studied abroad in Paris, France. Upon my return, I tutored college level French and economics courses. Additionally, I have one year experience tutoring elementary age reading and writing. As I was fortunate to have a series of excellent, dedicated tutors and mentors as a child, I wish to provide the same care to other children. I believe children can learn and achieve with one-on-one attention and a lesson plan tailored to meet their special needs. I bring encouragement and patience to each tutoring session, and I find ways to help children gro

From 2005 to 2008 I worked as a teacher and tutor for a Seattle-based test preparation firm. I taught classes for the SAT and GRE and tutored the SAT, GRE, and ACT. I believe I met and exceeded the high standards set by this organization. In 2008 I worked as a regional field director for the Obama campaign in several states, leading trainings in voter contact activities, campaign software systems, and other volunteer activities. Training volunteers of all different backgrounds and educational levels was the key to my task. I believe that instilling the confidence to learn is the key to effective instruction. Students need confidence not only in their instructor’s mastery of the subject matter, but also in their own ability to gain their own such master. This is not to suggest that rigor should not be applied, but rather that a student must have an emotional engagement with the learning p

Over the years, I came to realize that things such as getting yourself in the student's shoe and understanding his/her environmnet is critical in customizing a teaching for that specific person. Some students like studying in a very fun environment while other may find it distracting. Therefore, developing a flexible approach has been helpful for me because I have been able to serve different types of students in various age range. I believe knowledge is essential for self-confidence; in this dynamic and competitive environment, we all have to keep our knowledge up-to-date. I grew up in Cameroon, a former colony of France and Great Britain. French is the official language so, learning the language was critical to complete my education. I earned a BA in Business Administration and went to France to complete some courses in Accounting. My passion for sharing knowledge led me to teaching af

I will work with the students and find where out where they are weakest. By doing so I will be able to give them the knowledge required to understand the material they are struggling with instead of teaching them how to solve the problem at that moment which will prevent them from struggling with mathematics their entire school career. I believe that with out understanding what is going on in the background the students will never fully understand what they are doing. Thus having worked with them to make their weak points their strong points they will gain the confidence needed to go into an exam and pass with a strong grade. I want to help the kids that others have given up on because I feel that it's these students that have the greatest potential to succeed if given the proper guidance in life.

As a teacher's-assistant for children ages 4-6 I have been able to gain experience working with them one on one and in whole groups for almost two years. This has taught me the value of identifying with the child's unique learning needs in order to encourage and drive their academic success. I believe children need patience from their tutors, steady encouragement, and to be in a positive environment that allows them to feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn without distraction. The importance of good and fun learning early on is so vital to children, and I believe it is our duty as adults to encourage this on a daily basis. I have a B.A. in Technical Theatre. This knowledge in the backstage end of theatre deals greatly in literature, particularly the study of dramatic writing.

My teaching style is the shrapnel method. I like to use a large variety of techniques - visual, auditory, games, etc - to achieve the same goal. This keeps interest up and allows me to narrow in on the method that is most valuable to a specific student. I taught introductory zoology lab to freshman at Mississippi State University. Then I served in the Peace Corps where I taught daily 13 3 year olds to 15 year olds English, mathematics, and arts and crafts. I also taught basic library skills to all the elementary school classes.
