I like to challenge people to think outside of the box. Although I know it is important to know how to take tests and write papers appropriately, I also know that showing skills that go above and beyond, is what makes a student stand out. I will challenge your mind but in a way that will help to see the bigger picture out of the details, and will also help to shape you into a well-rounded, thoughtful individual. I am currently a Sociology student at Augsburg College. I am also pursuing a minor in Psychology. This year will be my last, so I will graduate in 2014. Also, I have taken several creative writing courses at the Loft Literary center, as well as at my College. I received a 4.0 in my courses. Also, in high school, I was always a level above in all English and composition classes.

As an educator in the school district I have multiple areas of experience that include academics in math, science and reading. I also have experience in dealing with multiple levels of reading levels that are conducive to cognitive, behavioral, or emotional problems that prevent optimal learning to occur and have utilized mant techniques to help students achieve their individual goals. During my education I have learned multiple learning strategies that can be used to help individualize each student's progress. Working with children is my passion. I beleive that alll children deserve the tools necessary to be successful in academic and personal growth in order to be successful in the path that is chosen for themselves. I believe that with the right tools each student is capable of fullfilling individual success. I believe that over the years I have touched many students lives to hel

Having attended higher learning institutions for over 6 years, my drive for more education is apparent. Throughout my experiences, not only have I been tutored, but have tutored my peers in mostly math and sciences. I have developed my speaking and writing abilities through my own employment experiences and feel that I have what it takes to teach and train individuals manual labor skills as well as mathmatical skills and abstract thinking and problem solving skills to help them understand concepts and apply them to a task. I believe that people learn in different fashions. For example, I feel that some concepts may be better explained with tangible objects while other concepts are learned better when questioned and discussed. By exploring the different ways of learning we can find what works best for that individual and use that method as a tool for their understanding. I feel, in the pa

I enjoy working with students on a one-on-one tutoring basis. I begin the first session with listening to the student to discover what he/she feels is the greatest strength and weaknesses in the areas of academics. Using Benchmark and other assessments, I then select and utilize materials that will best meet the student’s individual needs. I encourage the student to try new skills, improve the current skills, and develop an enjoyment for reading. I utilize games, examples, and practice activities to accomplish this goal. I know that each student is a unique individual and I adapt materials to reflect each person’s individual needs. I have a variety of teaching experience. I began teaching as a secondary Language Arts instructor with focus on reading skills, reading comprehension, interpretation of literature, and writing. I have taught students the writing process, research skills,

Ihave taught in Minnesota, Texas and South Korea. I have earned a Bachelor of Science in English Language Arts Secondary Education, and I am currently working on my MA in TESOL. I have extensive knowledge in grammar, the English Language, poetry writing, novels and teaching reading. I have tutored students of all ages and have a great deal of experience in teaching reading. I like to teach ESL from the Communicative Competence ideal. Integrating reading writing speaking listening into thematic units. Learning a new language requires hands on experience. If for example we are doing a unit on weather then my students may role play a weather man. Gather vocabulary from a newspaper. Count change as if they were really buying something. Read and write from a reporters perspective, or even travel to a museum with a reoprt and description of things they have seen using adjective and adv

With a BA in Politics, Philosophy, & Economics (w/Literature Concentration), I am able to help students move beyond a simple grammatical appreciation of the English Language: from understanding allusions to developing their own voice. I am comfortable writing and teaching in a variety of styles (research papers, creative writing, journalism, poetry), and have extensive copy-editing experience (projects include a book, magazine & newspaper articles, published papers, and college composition essays). I have also provided feedback/tutored an ESL student for a full school year, and am at home in any academic environment (three-plus years as a Teaching Assistant). I am undaunted by challenges, easy to get along with, and passionate about the English language. I approach each student as a person, recognizing that each will have specific needs and that certain methods will work better than othe

At SCSU, I work as a writing consultant at the Writing Center on campus. With students, I help to make them better writers by helping answer questions, presenting questions, working through the brainstorming and paper-writing process, and helping with formatting. As well, I have helped to coordinate our second satellite location, which entails working with people on their schedules, managing conflicts of schedule, and serving as a head of the second location. I am also fluent in Spanish and feel comfortable tutoring high school and college levels. My teaching style is, for the most part, non-directive. I think it is important to try to have students answer their own questions. When this does not work, I do not just tell the student what goes where or why this doesn't work, I give reasons and have them tell me these same reasons the next time we come across something that doesn't work.

I love working with all ages and generally prefer English as a Second Language students, but I enjoy working with everyone. My teaching style is very student centered as I try to figure out what a learner likes to learn and cater the instruction to them so it stays fun and educational. I do not necessarily prescribe to a particular approach to teaching as I believe it takes a variety to make a difference. Every learner is different. I know I love teaching and I love when a student strives to be the best, that is truly the most rewarding thing about being an educator. As an undergraduate at the University of Mississippi I was a teaching assistant for a College Skills class and also a year long tutor at Oxford High School in pre-algebra. After graduating from the University of Mississippi I lived in Seoul, South Korea and taught students ages 5-11 English as a Second Language, includi

I look forward to contributing to the learning of those in need. Graduating magna cum laude, I take education seriously where I feel that everyone has the potential to grow and succeed.

I love teaching because I truly enjoy seeing the light come on when a student gets it. I have had some excellent teachers in my life and have used their techniques to help students I tutor. I understand there is not one specific way to teach a subject and the key is asking questions to find out what will help a particular student. I find it helpful to use processes students are familiar with and expand upon that knowledge. I am a firm believer in showing why something works the way it does, not just showing the solution. This process, along with patience and understanding, has been useful my past experience and I believe it will be in the future as well. I began my college career in the Institute of Technology at the University of Minnesota. During my five semesters in the program I was able to study calculus and physics. I am familiar with high school level physics and mathematics up to

I have been a substitute teacher for over a year. I have subbed for every grade level and subject. A significant amount of my sub jobs have been math related. I am working on my Master's Degree at The College of Saint Scholastica, in Education. I also have had numerous classroom field experiences through the college, where I have been observed by other teachers and professors. During these experiences, every cooperating teacher has let me use them as a reference. From substitute teaching to my prior career as a correctional officer, I have a tremendous amount of experience turning a bad situation into a good one. In a tutoring environment, I have a lot to offer the student(s). My teaching philosophy is simple; I believe in providing a safe and positive atmosphere for students to learn. In creating this positive atmosphere I motivate my students by showing them that they can indeed,

I believe that every child can learn and has the right to a solid education. I believe students learn best when they are a part of the educational process and feel safe while learning. Children should be encouraged to voice their opinions in a democratic and respectful manner. However, they should be taught to uphold their teachers, and other adults, with the utmost respect. I feel teachers should be knowledgeable, flexible, and compassionate. Teachers must be able to adapt to the everyday changes in life to create a smooth transition for their students. A teacher's compassion can only improve their teaching. Caring for students and their education is an essential ingredient for any effective teacher.
