I have six children of my own and know that every child learns differently, even when they come from the same family. I believe the majority of children can master the material they are presented in school, but it is a matter of time. Many children take a little more time to understand the concepts and master the skills needed to move on to the next level. Sadly many of these children aren't given the time to do it and are just passed on to the next level. By doing this they fall further and further behind until they become discouraged to the point of quitting. I desire to reach those children. Not every child is an "A" student, but every child has his or her unique gifts. I strive to help each child find those gifts and to do the best he or she can in every area. I like to get to know the child and find the best way possible, whether it be modifying a curriculum or my own approa

Teaching is an art that needs to be perfected based on each individual child’s needs. I am a very demanding teacher, but at the same time always fair and give positive reinforcement while the student is learning and of course, when they have obtained their goals. I teach using a variety of strategies, but feel that hands on learning works best for most students, especially those in a tutoring atmosphere. Therefore, many manipulatives for just about any concept are used in order to turn a problem into the solution. In my 2nd year of teaching, I have enjoyed the experiences that have came my way due to my students. I enjoy going to work daily and leave almost everyday with a sense of gratification because of the accomplishments I help my students achieve. I currently teach 4th grade and feel this grade level has helped me fine tune my writing skills due to the demanding pressure placed on

I have a BS in Elementary Education and a MAEd in Curriculum & Technology. I am a K-6 certified teacher in North Carolina, and I have taught second, third, and sixth grade. In sixth grade I specifically taught mathematics. I also have experience as a teacher assistant in first and fourth grade. I have three years of experience teaching summer school to at-risk students, and I have tutored privately for four years. I am highly trained in mathematics, literacy, and writing instruction. My philosphy of education is that children learn through real-world experiences and tapping into their interests will foster their educational development. Another key factor in helping students achieve academic success is assessment and observation of individual learning styles and multiple intelligences. Honing those positive features in students will inspire and motivate their learning to new levels. I be

I truly believe that all children can learn with the right motivation. I have learned that it takes time to find the right strategy for some children, and not all children have the same strategy of learning. I enjoy working with children who others have given up on or can't seem to find the way to get to them. To me there is no greater joy than see the light in that child's eye, when someone has taken the time to help them get it...and they do get it. I love giving confidence back to a child who has lost it. I am a highly motivated and results oriented professional with exceptional leadership and communication skills. Experience in leading and motivating students, parents and collegues. Strong background in the development and implementation of extensive literature based lesson plans for cross curricular units.

I am a strong believer that a tutor is a friend first, and an instructor second. Many times I have found that a student's difficulties issued from personal matters, such as a lack of confidence, rather than specific weaknesses with the material. I always make every effort to allow a student to feel as comfortable as possible within the instructional dynamic, and in my experience, this has made all the difference. With regard to my methods of instruction, every student is very different, but I have found that making the material relatable to personal interests always induces an improvement. By casting the material in an attractive light, I have found that a student's motivation rapidly increases, with the added benefit that tutoring sessions become training sessions for their own passions, rather than rote education.

About my role as a teacher, I think that the main principle should be “teaching for understanding”. A teacher creates learning opportunities that engage students in thinking about important mathematical concepts. Facts and skills support such learning but are not the ultimate goal. A teacher not only draws on past knowledge of mathematics but continuously builds on and refines that knowledge during meaningful interactions with students and colleagues. Thus, her or his practice as a teacher is constantly evolving PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE River City High School, Sacramento CA Algebra teacher 08/08/2005-12/18/2005 Teacher Assistant Math department UCDavis 09/30/2003 – 08/05/2005 TA for classes Calculus 16A, 16B, 16C and 21A, 21B, 21C (groups and individual consultations)

As a French teacher, I encouraged learning by using a number of different manipulative, hand-on activities, and various forms of technology. By incorporating discussions and open-ended questions, I was able to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive atmosphere. In addition, I utilized weekly quizzes and monthly tests to track student progress, locate areas of weakness, and prepare students for finals exams. My goal is to increase student motivation, awareness, and understanding of French Language, while implementing interdisciplinary-based lessons involving grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension. With over 8 years of hands-on, successful teaching experience, I’m confident in my ability and passion to be an excellent French Teacher. I have earned all my degrees in French area (West Africa, France and Quebec, Canada). Being a Native French and a versatile individual, I have

I just started tutoring but find that I enjoy helping people with Math and helping them understand the concepts. I'm easy to get along with and laid back. I like to let the student start the problem and see where they need help. I am a recent graduate, I graduated in 3 years and will be going back to finish my engineering degree. I have a BS in Electronics Technology which required me to take Cal I,II,II, Applied Statics and Technical Math.

I have taught or tutored students in preschool, middle school, high school, and college. I have 10 years of successful teaching experience in Charlotte. I am currently in a university position to help prepare students/teachers seeking initial or advanced licensure in education. I have a particularly in-depth understanding of the middle school child. Most of my tutoring experience took place during my college or early teaching years. I returned to tutoring a year ago when a friend was seeking a qualified professional to tutor her middle school son in science. Because social studies and science are interdisciplinary subjects by nature, I am able to teach other skills as well, such as reading, writing, and study skills. Teaching social studies for so many years has allowed me to implement a great variety of teaching strategies, such as graphic organizers, cooperative learning, note-ta

While attending Wingate University, where I excelled academically, I tutored peers in a variety of subjects, including English, math, history and photography. As an award-winning journalist, I have a strong writing ability and exceptional grammatical skills. I have also worked with young children as a volunteer at my church when I was in high school, while I was the education reporter for a daily newspaper in South Carolina, and currently during the many family-oriented events at the museum where I work in public relations. Every child has the ability to learn, and every child should have the opportunity to learn. An important component of teaching is helping a child find success, and thus building confidence that he/she can learn and do well. It is vitally important that a child have a good relationship with and respect for his/her teacher, and just as important that the teacher have re

I believe that children possess the ability to learn anything, it just takes a good tutor to bring it out. I have had several educators make a large impact on my life and seen others impact the life of my learning-disabled brother. Learning has never come easily to him, but patient educators have helped him succeed. I am one of those patient educators.

I tailor my teaching to each student’s needs. I have learned it is best to take my cues from the student’s personality and the resources they have available at home and school. The most significant elements I can provide for them are clear explanations of subject material, good rapport, and the ability to detect any present learning difficulties. My goals for each student I teach or tutor is to foster a conducive environment for learning in which the student is not afraid to attempt a problem and fail, they learn from their mistakes, and empower themselves to succeed. I graduated from the University of South Carolina in 2004. I was a member of the Psi Chi National Honors Organization for psychology and received a Dobson Scholarship.
