You see my degree, McPherson is a very traditional liberal arts college so I have what would qualify as a minor in Social Studies at almost any other university. I am the mom and aunt of dyslexic children, I know the struggles....I've been through the tears and hours of homework. There is no "quick fix" but we can experiment and find what works for you. We need to discover your individual gifts and most effective learning styles first then use those skills to gain confidence and begin improve on the skills that are not so strong. If you have given up we need to find your motivation. My son at thirteen was ready to quit life, in one year we turned it around and he became an A/B student and loved school and life. Every child is different I think it's first important to take time to build trust and figure out your learning style. in the meantime we have to peddle through the school assignme

I am fun and relaxed, but know how to get down to the point. I make my teaching easy to understand. Even though I am young, I do know how to convey teaching skills with the "up-to-date" mind set of today's generation. The main experience I have is helping fellow school mates and family with the problems they are having with school work. I did finish high school with a diploma. I have been to many schools and have had many teachers. I have been able to learn many techniques of solving a single problem.

I like to be serious and get things done but I also like to have fun. I like to take things they are interested in and incorporate that into their learning.

As the Title I Math Specialist at Peyton Elementary for three years, I had the opportunity to work with struggling learners as well as high achieving students in a small classroom setting. This on-the-job experience combined with numerous professional development credits earned in various areas such as differentiated instruction, math/literature connections, and mathematics pedagogy as well as two years of service on Peyton Elementary's "Child Study" team gave me the necessary background to be able to identify individual student needs and tailor lessons to address those needs. Over the past two years, I have been able to apply the above skills in a one-on-one setting through private tutoring of elementary age students in both math and reading. I have a caring and mutually respectful relationship with students. I am very creative in my lesson planning, often use hands-on activities, draw

I am a life-long learner with degrees in Zoology & Philosophy, and I was the Valedictorian of my high school. I have 17 years of experience in the IT industry, mostly as a Technical Writer. I have taught in public school (Science for 6th-12th grades), I have tutored in the subjects of reading, writing, math, and science, and I have taught as a substitute in various subjects.

My goal as a teacher is to "fit" the material that needs to be learned into each student's character and mindset. Everyone excels at something -- it is my job to find out what that is and how to make that work so that new material can be incorporated. I work to help students achieve their potential and strive to help them feel confident that they can do well. I have assembled a wide variety of experiences during my years of work and education. I have worked as a journalist, advertising copy writer and designer; and teacher of adult learners in the areas of fine art, art history, and garden design. For 16 years, I owned a operated a successful garden design business and, more recently, taught in a local elementary school for six years as a fifth grade teacher, specializing in reading and, especially, writing. I occasionally write for garden publications and continue to create artwork

Teaching is a career I have always been drawn to. I enjoy educating children and showing them various ways to create a solution. As a kindergarten, it is such an amazing feeling to teach a child to read for the first time. My main goal is to provide children with the best materials and strategies to obtain mastery in all content areas. I strongly believe in teaching with direct instruction; however, I am able and more than willing to differentiate my delivery of instruction and materials based upon each child's individual needs. I would define myself as detail-oriented, patient, kind, flexible, and warm-hearted. My mission is to inspire a love of education in every child despite any circumstances, which I will achieve by dedicating myself to excellence and mastery and keeping the standard of excellence set high. I graduated from UCCS with a BA in Geography and Environmental Studies with

My first academic teaching experience started in the fifth grade, when my teacher asked me to help my classmates after school. Slowly my love of teaching and helping my classmates grew. Later I was asked to give lessons to my classmates during school hours. I started my own tutoring service for school children in my college days. During my Ph.D. program, I taught several undergraduate and graduate courses in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I have earned my Bachelor's and master's degrees in biochemistry and my PhD is in Biochmeistry-Genetics. I love teaching and enjoy empowering the students to get involved in the subjects they learn about. 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 elega

I love working with students of all ages, backgrounds and learning abilities. I believe that all students deserve a fair and equal chance to learn in school and no child should be left behind. I also feel that all students can reach their full potential in learning if given the chance. I believe that most students learn best through auditory and hands-on learning techniques. I love to work with students and love to see them learn. I want to make a difference in the lives of all my students. I just graduated with my Master's degree from the University of Phoenix. I completed 6 months of students in teaching to fulfill my degree requirements. I am currently a substitute teacher where I have the joy of working with students of various learning abilities and ages. I have also spent time working as a tutor for a daughter of a friend. With this experience, I was able to tutor this girl in

I LOVE TEACHING SPANISH AND I LOVE SEEING MY STUDENTS PROGRESS. I BELIEVE THAT LEARNING VARIES WITH EACH CHILD AND THE ONUS IS ON THE TEACHER TO TAP INTO A CHILD'S POTENTIAL AND DEVELOP IT WITH EFFECTIVE TEACHING METHODS. I GENERALLY USE THE CREATIVE APPROACH WITH MY STUDENTS - LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE SHOULD BE FUN AND EXCITING. I AM CONVINCED THAT PATIENCE, LOVE, DEDICATION, PASSION AND GOOD ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS, ARE PRICELESS IN BEING A GOOD EDUCATOR. I HAVE A 4.0 GRADE POINT AVERAGE WHICH REQUIRED HARD WORK AND DEDICATION. I BELIEVE THAT THESE QUALITIES ARE ESSENTIAL IN REAPING SUCCESS ESPECIALLY IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION. I HAVE TAUGHT SPANISH 2 YEARS IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL AND 4 YEARS IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL, WHICH WERE BOTH CHALLENGING AND REWARDING. I TAUGHT STUDENTS AGES 11-18 YEARS AND HAD TO ADAPT MY ACADEMIC AND BEHAVIORAL APPROACH TO ACCOMMODATE THE LEARNING NEEDS AND CAPABILITI

As a volunteer, I have enjoyed teaching children with learning disabilities. I believe I can make a difference as a tutor. For example, one day I overheard my son's Kindergarten teacher say she would have to hold back one of the students from entering first grade because the child could not count to ten or say the alphabet. I asked this teacher if I could be a volunteer tutor for this child an hour once a week over the remaining three months of the school year to see if I could help turn the situation around. One of my proudest moments came shortly after the tutoring period ended in which the Kindergarten teacher announced she would be able to enter this child into first grade along with the rest of his classmates! I retired last year after 33 years of United States Air Force military and civilian service. I have earned a BA in Sociology and an AS in Engineering Design Drafting. Throug

As an adult I have been pursuing my dream of being an educator. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and am working on my Master's Degree in Deaf/Hard of Hearing Education. Throughout my seven years of teaching I have had leadership training, math, writing, and reading training. I have tutored children in Reading, Writing, and Math. I have done addition tutoring in math prior to the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP). My teaching philosophy is teach every child every day. This means all children can learn. It may be through all different styles of teaching and learning, but all children can learn. I believe in using a "hands on" approach with manipulatives. Children will learn by doing and experimenting with the objects they have. Compassion, patience, and dedication allow me assist children in their learning and believe they can learn every day in any way.
