I encourage my students to find self-motivation and develop interest for learning. Constant thirst for knowledge and self-improvement defines and sets apart successful individuals. My tutoring experience has been with students majoring in foreign languages - Russian or German. I have assisted students to learn or refresh grammar, reading and conversation skills. Level of difficulty varied from beginner to intermediate learners. In addition, I have occasionally assisted with homework for children I used to babysit for.

I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels. Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way.

I love educating children and adults and strongly believe in lifelong learning. Since I have taught at several levels and even in different countries, I use different teaching techniques. My goal is to help the learner to get the best education possible. I have taught for 20+ years in Germany (mainly Math, English and Reading) and for 4 years in Kansas City, MO. There I taught all core subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Right now I have got several part time jobs: I work as a sub at a colligiate high school (all subjects), I will teach German at the Edison College in Fort Myers (Continuing Education) and I tutor for a private company doing SES tutoring - Reading and Math. I have prepared young people to do their GED, too. The subjects I did there were Math, Science and American History.

My interest is in health care and I am currently a professor of health care marketing, communications, policy, community and public health.

I enjoy tutoring and teaching at the college level. I love working with adults. For those who have skills and motivation, it is a matter of gaining trust and accelerating the use of those skills.

Communication and expectations are the top priorities in my repertoire of teaching strategies. I am able to communicate a sense of self-esteem in my students tempered with humor. They know I value them as human beings. In my experience young people are willing to live up to the expectations a good teacher demands. I use a direct, no nonsense approach and have found it extremely successful in all teaching environments. After having lived in Germany, teaching ESL in a middle school, I returned to the United States to teach in the Irving Independent School District in Irving, Texas. During that time I taught German, French and Spanish to middle and high school students. Subsequently, I was offered a teaching position for the Department of Dependent Schools, which is managed by the Department of Defense Education Activity. I taught Study Skills and German for three years in the Ramst

My teaching style is tailored to each individual student. During our first two sessions, I will be able to determine which teaching methods get the best response. Some students learn kinetically, with lots of motion necessary to avoid boredom, while others must have all their senses stimulated. For each lesson, in order to gauge the response of my student, I include audio/visual for listening skills and oral comprehension, picture identification for level of language skills, singing, repetition for pronunciation and language acquisition, conversation, reading and comprehension, and writing/cloze exercises for production of learning skills. Warning: I give homework! My specialties are reading, writing, and speaking. For over 20 years, I have done performances and workshops on literature, history, and acting in a variety of school and library settings. Most recently, I have expanded my

I am very passionate about helping others succeed. One of the best decisions that I have ever made was to pursue my childhood dream of being a teacher. I have primarily worked with at-risk populations (varying age groups) and believe in every single one of my students. I have a Master's degree in Education and a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Technology. I have worked in a variety of settings including elementary schools, a middle school, church, a college, and most recently a language center working with foreign exchange students learning english. I love teaching, inspiring, mentoring and encouraging students of all ages! I believe that every student can learn. When I work with adult students, I am amazed at the ones that don't really believe in themselves. Some adults have been discouraged by family members, life circumstances, or by their poor performance in school. Regardle

I have been a teacher for over 25 years, both in academic and non-academic settings in the U.S. France and Egypt. I have worked extensively with non-Americans of all ages, and am therefore culturally sensitive. I prefer working with students in small groups or on a one-to-one basis where I can give individualized attention and see rapid progress.I currently also train instructors in teaching methodology as well as conduct specialized seminars, such as English Grammar and Language Assessment. I prefer working with students in small groups or on a one-to-one basis where I can give individualized attention and see rapid progress.

I believe that the best teacher is one who avoids the standard, didactic method of instruction. Rather that lecturing or feeding information to my students, I aim to hone their critical thinking skills so that they can develop an inquisitive mindset capable of engaging in problem solving and engendering creative outcomes. For me personally, teaching is rewarding as it has encouraged me to see the world from multiple perspectives. The teacher-learner relationship is a dialectical one--one that has remolded my worldview even as I attempt to do likewise for my students. I have earned a bachelor degree in English and two advanced degrees in history, with emphasis in US history. In addition, I have been teaching English in a local associate degree program in St Petersburg, Florida, since August 2005. The two English courses I have been teaching since 2005 are Composition and Literature. Since

I love my students, put them first, and put developing rapport with them as a high priority. I maintain eye contact, smile, and speak respectfully. I make lesson plans in advance; however, I allow students some freedom in choosing the order of activities. When questions come up, I try to lead my students to an answer by asking questions in return. I provide regular testing to determine when they have mastered a concept and are ready to move on. I inspire my students to be confident and creative. Then they are motivated to improve academically. Here are some examples of my teaching style, taken from my teaching practicum through my college English Education program. My twelfth-grade honors class gave their teacher rave reviews when I substitute taught a lesson on Macbeth. The text was my guide, and I wanted my students to be guided by the text to new discoveries. Later, I led this class

I have 4 years of combined instructional experience from teaching at public high school and at a state university. I have taught across the spectrum; from learning disabled (ESE) to gifted (IB), as well as college students. A 60-hour ESOL class has been completed (as required by law), and I have worked extensively with ELL students. The following is a list of the disciplines in science for which I have experience teaching: Biology (regular and honors), Ecology, Physical, Earth & Space, Anatomy & Physiology (regular and honors), and Marine Science. I also have experience tutoring high school and university students one-on-one and in small groups. I take a student-centered, hands-on approach to teaching. Individual learning styles must be addressed, and tutoring is an excellent way for a student to receive the type of instruction best suited for his/her learning style(s). Science can
