I have been a substituion teacher for the past 3 years. I have worked in a variety of settings and have gotten the chance to teach different subjects and have learned from a lot of different styles. I love working one-on-one with kids when given the opportunity. I think a smaller setting is ideal for a lot of children.

I attended two colleges for my undergraduate work: Manchester College and IUPUI. My degree in English is from IUPUI, where I participated in the publication of the campus literary magazine and a capstone thesis project. At Manchester, I wrote for the newspaper staff, co-founded the Literary Club, and helped produce the literary magazine. I have one year of Master's work from the University of Indianapolis, but have not earned an MA yet. I write every day and have excellent editing skills, from structural editing to copyediting. I have a background in history, theatre, spanish, women's studies, ASL, and, obviously, literature. I have tutored during my college years in "study sessions", so, non-paying. I currently work at a daycare where I teach children from 6 weeks to 6 years. I love working with children and watching them make connections as they learn. I believe nothing is more

I attended Central Michigan University on a full-ride Centralis Scholar Award earning a BS in Accounting. Since graduating, I have worked in public accounting and am currently taking online courses to obtain a Masters degree in Accounting. I have taken every opportunity to tutor local high school students in any subject and local college students in English and Accounting. I believe that individuals of any age can learn new skills with the right instructor. The first step that any educator should take is to learn from students what approach works best with them. I do this by using multiple approaches for the same topic until it is fully understood in a way that makes practical application a natural progression. I am observant and empathetic in tutoring situations and will always adapt to the method that works. I often find that real world experiences and examples make the best teac

For the past 30 years, I have worked with special needs students. I believe that students learn at their educational level. The problem with education today, is that students are often in classrooms that stress learning at their frustration level. Many students are in general ed settings, but are forced to use materials that they do not fully understand. In my role as a teacher consultant, I adapted materials so the students could understand it. If chosen as a tutor, I would do the same so the students would learn at their education level. I am a retired special ed teacher. I worked with Learning Disabled, Emotionally Impaired, Cognitively Impaired, and Austistic students primarily in the high school. I was an Assistant Principal in a middle school for four years, and a teacher consultant for 30 years. In my role as a teacher consultant, I tutored students primarily in the high s

During my undergraduate studies I tutored at Delta College's Teaching/Learning Center for almost 2 years. While working there I received an award for Tutor of the Year. Delta College being a community college with a wide range of students I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds. I focused mainly in the areas of Mathematics and Computer Science. Since my job at Delta College I have also tutored privately. I like to approach tutoring on an individual basis. I like to learn what works best for each student and help them understand a subject in the way which best suits them. I believe that anyone is capable of learning anything if it is explained to them in the right way. We all have our unique styles of learning and processing new information, sometimes we just need to see things in a way which helps us see more clearly what is going on. I know that I was lucky to ha

After high school, I recognized in myself a desire to work with elementary- and high school-aged children. I have always been at the top of my classes and was heading for an engineering school before I discovered a love for helping kids. I do not have any teaching experience but I spent many summers working with these age groups at camp and enjoy interacting with them. I also easily understand most high school subjects and enjoy helping students find the answers they are looking for. I have very good communications skills from long use in college and post-graduate studies. My teaching style would be to find the student's primary learning style and converting the information he or she needs into a format that fits that learning style. Each subject would be made as visible or concrete as possible, so that the student could interact with the material on more than just a visual/conceptual

I enjoy helping junior high and high school students excel in all their subjects. Particularly, I feel it's important to relate their current studies to real life situations to help them understand the link between the theoretical material and practical solutions. I have tutored math and science for high school children at the West Midland Family Center for two years and am currently tutoring all five of my children in all subjects. One of the key motivators for learning is the link between theoretical math or science topics and everyday problems that a student can solve using these skills. For example, to help a geometry student understand the significance of the area of a prizm, I asked him to consider how much paint he needs to buy if he wants to re-paint his room. A max/min calculus solution can help select the minimum fence length to create the largest yard for a dog. I also t
