I think all people are learners whether they are in a classroom or not. As a teacher I like to use hands on interactive methods that put the student at the center of the learning. I am patient and fun while still maintaining a professional decorum with my students. I like to find out why my students want to learn what they are studying and I like to challenge my students to learn because I think that a self-motivated student is the best kind. If students find the will within themselves to learn there is no way to stop them and with my help and guidance I believe they can reach their full potential as learners. Also I love questions! Questions are the seeds of learning. I have most of my experience working with English language learners. Over the past year I have worked with English language learners that came from varied backgrounds such as, university aged Korean students, adult R

I enjoy working with kids to reach their fullest potential. I have high expectations because I believe all kids can learn. The role I like best is that of motivator and facilitator. My dream for students is that they become life-long lovers of learning...not just life-long learners. I attempt to model for them this love of learning by sharing my own experiences as a reader and writer. I encourage risk-taking and ownership. I do not believe in spoon feeding students; there is some "wailing and gnashing of teeth" at times,but students are always so proud of themselves when they reach their academic goals. I have taught for over twenty years from 4th grade to 9th grade; for the last nineteen years, I have taught English at the middle school level. I began my career teaching 4th grade. I have also taught 5th grade and 6th grade English and Math. I am highly qualified in Reading K-12 a

I began to realize my love and aptitude for tutoring as a volunteer Japanese instructor for the Daikin home-stay program in 2006. The next two years I volunteered my time with Rosie's International Services tutoring Spanish. At the beginning of the Spring 2008 semester, the Head of the Foreign Language Department, Dr. Maier, submitted my name to a tutoring department at UAH, where I worked tutoring Spanish, Japanese, Latin, Chinese, and English as a Second Language until I graduated in Spring 2010. Although I do not have an education degree nor teaching certificate, I was hired as a part-time Spanish teacher at Austin High School 2010-2011, where I started an informal Japanese Culture Club. The first thing I do with any new student is identify his or her learning style so that I may incorporate those specific strategies into my lesson for an effective and personalized learning experience

I have a results oriented approach with a proactive style and look for ways to teach outside of the normal box, making it more fun. I am a make it happen sort of person, meaning that I give hands on attention to learning in core areas where there appears to be deficiency. I have found this to work best with my two boys and others I have taught. That said, I believe the best learning takes place when there is a feeling of trust and acceptance, so I seek to earn trust with employees or students by focusing on honesty, fairness, patience and communication along with learning. I am a skilled professional with twelve years of hands on experience in Accounting, Operations and Process Improvement. This has necessitated strong math and communication skills and flexibility in my style and methods. I am a published author with very strong computer skills, particularly using Microsoft and MRP p

My teaching style is center around my philosophy of education. My philosophy of education consist of the beliefs that all students are entitled to a quality education that effectively prepares them for competition in the job markets. Each student deserves an education that teaches critical thinking skills and the importance of the self in relations to the world. Every classroom needs an educator that remains abreast of the ever changing information relevant to school curriculum and policies. Every student is entitled to a learning environment in which they feel safe and respected, a learning environment that encourages academic and social growth while fostering a sustained sense of academic accomplishment within the student I began my teaching experience in childhood.

I was born to teach. From 10 years old I would teach my friends during summer vacations or whenever I could get them to play my favorite game, school, (Kids don't play school anymore). I enjoy helping students make the connections. I use a teaching approach that is hands on and generally seeks to find atudents learning style. I know that all children can learn, it is sometimes a matter of how they learn that becomes a barrier. I am very sensitive students need to feel empowered, hence I seek to teach the students skills that eventually lead to not needing me or any other tutor. I am an individual driven by the desire to learn. I have a Master's in Education with a triple major, certified to teach two of the three. I am currently pursuing a second Master's in Curriculum Instruction and Development with an emphasis in technology based instruction. I have over 15 years of experience

I'm currently working for Huntsville City Schools Extended Day Program. I've been working there for 3 years. In those 3 years, I also worked in the work study program, working at the Richard Showers Center's after school program. While, at the Showers Center, I was placed with an ADHD and Dyslexic student. My duties included, helping him find different ways to learn the material and I went through a series of repetitional exercises. I continued to tutor him for 1 year. I enjoy pretented not to know the work myself which allows them to help me. It helps me to see what they already know and to see how much I need to help them know. I use this approach to boost selfesteem in students.

My experience ranges a great deal and encompasses a lot of subject matter from K-12 Math to English and Literature. My wide range of expertise is indicative of my schooling where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications that exposed me to the Liberal Arts world; while my minor in Industrial and Systems Engineering and Master of Science degree in Information Technology exposed me to more technical subject matter (i.e. various levels of Math). I have had the privilege of tutoring approximately 5 clients in the span of roughly 2 years and each one under my tutelage boasted significant performance improvement in subject areas they found initially challenging. I love teaching and interacting with willing minds. Teaching "runs in the blood", where my mother is an excellent teacher in the Huntsville City School District, my father was a former teacher and all of my aunts and uncle

My teaching style varies with each student. I talk with the student to determine his or her personal learning style, and then base my method on the individual student. I believe that every student is unique and I do my best to cater to his or her particular learning style to maximize his or her learning experience. I evaluate the student's strengths and weaknesses, and work to improve the areas that need improvement. I am a strong believer in positive reinforcement, and I always give praise and encouragement to each student. I seek to instill a love of learning in all of my students. As a recent graduate from the Athens State University English program, I am proficient in the areas of grammar, writing, and English and American literature. I have excellent grammar skills due to writing research papers and essays. I am also a freelance writer for online and local publications. Duri
