Will need to brush up myself, so we'll learn together! One on One is the ideal method for me as it allows time dedicated to the tutored. It makes them feel special and appreciated and also allows time for coaching and motivation. My experience in Tutoring is a bit fleeting only having done it in odds and ends; non-professionally at best, but as I see progress in others, it inspires ME to grow. Also knowing that I have helped in some small part further encourages me to help out more. I don't have any track record to speak of but I what I hope to provide for those under my wing is a chance to believe, as motivator Les Brown would say, "It's Possible that I can succeed!" THAT'S what students REALLY need to know.

In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating in an Adult Literacy Program. I assisted them in their GED preparation in Math and helped them set and reach their short-term educational goals. More recently, I worked with incarcerated individuals preparing them for the GED test, improving their testing skills, and promoting a positive environment for learning. I am actively tutoring students in Pre-Algebra on a weekly basis. Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various style

After completing my college degree I went in to the finance world and then into Information Technologies. This allowed me exposure to a wide variety of skills and people. Along the way I have tutored students in English and some rudimentary math. Currently I am working towards my teaching certification and the most recent teaching experience I have had is teaching beginning English to ESL students at a local high school. Between the extensive papers I have written in college and graduate school, and the assignments I have graded as a teacher, my grammatical and editing skills are extensive. I have always enjoyed teaching, whether it is to children or to adults. My approach has always been to keep a fun atmosphere while establishing control over the class; we can have fun but I am in charge and I will let you know when the line has been crossed. This kind of atmosphere, in my opinion

I love children and believe that every child can learn. In my classroom, I provided a multitude of diverse learning experiences for my students - from experimentation to cooperative learning. I support the multiple intelligences theory and always attempted to accommodate students' various learning needs. For example, when finishing a novel, students were given options for completing a book project: traditional book report, building a model of a favorite scene and presenting it to the class, creating a scrapbook for a main character and presenting it, etc. I held high standards for my students but always provided the tools for them to achieve those standards. After earning my bachelor's degree in History and Political Science, I went on to complete the teacher's certification program through the University of Phoenix. I began teaching middle school Language Arts, Reading, Writing, an

As an undergrad I attended Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, a school well-known for its academic excellence, where I studied Christian Education under a group of highly talented professors. While this degree was not a typical teaching degree, it incorporated a significant amount of educational theory, communication skills, and developmental psychology which I have used as a mentor, Sunday school teacher, and tutor. I then attended Fuller Theological Seminary as a master’s student where I studied theology and youth ministry. This program allowed me to further study the developmental issues connected with adolescents, as well as increase my writing and critical thinking skills through the study of theology, philosophy, and history. I have worked with middle school and high school students in a church setting for 9 years. I began tutoring last year, working with elementary and Jr.

The teaching style I have is really a mix of all styles. I was exposed to teaching classes as an undergraduate student. One class really taught me the importance of building a teaching style with all of the learning styles involved. Whether it is visual, kinesthetic, audio, or reading, a good teacher will take the time to incorporate all of these into their style. I think this is so important especially when working with children because a child is at a very impressionable age with great imagination. When all of these styles are incorporated it brings the learner a well rounded approach that allows them to stay engaged and adapt to all styles of learning, making them a well rounded student. My experience consists of tutoring college students in the subject areas I learned for a Bachelors degree in Health Science. This consists of: General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Physiology

I have a strong interest in mathematics in the areas of algebra, geometry, and statistics. I have completed 9 credits of statistics and 6 credits of algebra. I can also tutor in business and psychology. I have been working with in academia for the past 3 years and am working towards becoming an adjunct-faculty at the local college. I find enthusiasm and interest in the subject taught is very important. If I can convey the interest and fun that I get from working problems and show it through my teaching, students who fear or hate math or any subject tend to rethink their position from a disabled frame of mind to one that exudes confidence in their approach.

I have taught nine years of elementary school. I was certified in AZ, but let it lapse. I have recently re-submitted my application. During my teaching career, I have been a mentor for two student teachers for ASU. I have been a chairperson, tutor, coach, etc. Teaching is my passion. I love working with students and feel it is an honor to be apart of their lives. Making a difference is what keeps it enjoyable for me. I am a very easy going person. I love working with other teachers on projects. I would describe my teaching style as a traditional approach with technology thrown in. I love using technology in as many lessons as I can.

My college experience and training has allowed me to get excellent insight into both of my majors. I have learned the language and culture of not only Germany but also ancient cultures. My various challenges along the way pushed me to achieve higher goals and led me to the completion of my two bachelor degrees, BA in German Studies and BA in Classical Civilization. From my anthropology classes I gained my experience in teaching freshmen, juniors and seniors from diverse backgrounds. I firmly believe i can tutor students in German and most humanities arts. From my previous teaching experience gained in college I believe that there is a delicate process, that requires patience and respect in teaching students. I am easy going and understandable and always provide encouragement. I believe in a hands on approach to teaching, which can make learning more fun for the students. My only hope i

Because I had such a hard time learning and focusing in a regimented, institutional-type learning setting in school, and yet was a brilliant child, I teach extremely well in a relational more relaxed approach. Rather than "shove information down throats" I am interested in each individual, and to get to know their personality and learning style. I have found that when there is relationship and trust between the mentor and the student, not only does the student learn the information more effectively, but as the mentor, I am able to teach and speak more clearly. Rather than lecturing or preaching at them about what I think life should be like for them, I take them hiking, out to eat, to movies etc. I have always had a heart to help others become the best that they can be. For the last 2 1/2 years, I have been taking in troubled teens into my home and being directly involved in coaching the

I love both teaching and tutoring. It is a joy to me to be able to help students learn. I believe in the constructivist theory of learning. We learn by doing. Thus, I don't believe in merely showing a student the solution to a problem. She must work through the problem herself, using an approach that works well for her. My job as tutor is to provide guidance, supporting the student at first, then gradually dropping my support as he gains confidence in his own abilities. Techniques I use include asking leading questions and demonstrating ways of solving similar problems. I also try to ascertain exactly where the student is having difficulty, so that I can help her in the areas where she needs the most help. Making a difference and helping young people grow is what education is all about! Because of my strong interest in education, I am changing my career field from computer progr

Throughout my higher educational career, I’ve been driven to learn as much as possible to help satisfy my enormous curiosity. I have earned a bachelor degree in English Literature, and am currently a MFA candidate in the creative writing program at Arizona State University. As part of my graduate funding, I work as a teaching assistant. The program requires constant training, and I enjoy taking part in understanding the way students learn. In addition to teaching at the university, I work with the Office of Youth Preparation—teaching not only the craft of poetry, but helping 4th and 5th graders develop language skills necessary to do well in school. Although I primarily work with the study of English, I study Spanish and have become proficient with the use of the language. I believe that the possibilities of learning are incredible, especially with understanding the tools of both teach

I have grown up wanting to be a teacher. I love children and I love teaching them. Being able to help a child learn something new that will stay with them for the rest of their lives is very rewarding. I strive to make sure that I am reaching every student in my classroom. In order to do that I believe that my school curriculum needs to be creative and ever changing. All student learn differently so I need a diverse curriculum to meet the needs of every child in my classroom. The most important part of teaching is the children in the classroom and I strive to make an impact in each and every one of their lives. From June of 2005 till January of 2009 I was homeschooling a family of 5 children everyday. I taught them all their basic curriculum as well as art, music, p.e., cooking, Spanish, sign language, health, and safety. When they needed help, I tutored them until they understood the ma
