I believe that the most important role of an educator is to be able to recognize the learning style of the student. Once this is established the student can be successful. All students can learn given the opportunity and appropriate tools necessary to achieve their potential. I also believe that learning must be fun for students to actively engage in the process. I am a life long learner and try to instill my passion for learning in my students. I graduated from Ohio University in 1978 with a BS in Education. I went on to earn a Masters degree in Educational Administration. I hold two valid permanent teaching certificates and a professional license. I have been fortunate to have taught all grades and all subjects with the exception of 1st, 3rd, and 4th. I have also had the pleasure of being an ABLE instructor for adults.

I love to teach and work with students. I believe that ALL students can learn and be successful if they are taught in a manner that works for the student. I want every one of my students to have a positive learning experience and will do my best to provide a constructive and nurturing environment for each and every student to reach his/her potential. My love of learning was greatly influenced by my teachers. I still remember them and try to emulate their genuine love of the material and their love of all their students. Great teachers made a difference in my life and I want to make a difference in my students' lives too. I am an experienced math and science teacher and currently teach a variety of math and science courses at a private school in Columbus. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and ran a research laboratory in th

I believe in using a multi- modality approach to teaching. The more senses involved, the more likely one will remember. I also believe in trying to make material needed to learn to seem approachable or pertinent in their lives.(No matter the age) Anyone can learn if it is presented in a way that makes it exciting and fun. You must let them give a sense of accomplishment and success. I graduated from college with certification to teach grades 1-12. Do to the job market at that time, I was unable to get a full time teaching job. I substituted and then tutored for 2 years. I then worked various jobs working with the public. Although much of work experience is not in the teaching field, I have worked with people in many ways to reach their full potential and can relate to them on a level that they will comprehend.

If I can be a motivating influence in a young person's life, I could not think of a more rewarding achievement. As a teacher, I am organized and prepared to find and use any method, technique, and hook in a collaborative effort for performance improvement or to meet the expectations of any individual student. The core value of my life has been education in many different forms. I believe in lifelong education as indicated in my diversified background. I have experience in education, government, and business, obviously, I am always interested in a challenge and assisting students who are having difficulties is one of those challenges.

I love working with children of all ages and I believe that all children should have an equitable education. Because of the skills and abilities I possess in reading I have been able to help my own child achieve beyond her grade level and she is currently in the gifted program for reading. Because I am a school counselor by profession I make sure that I always listen to students and help them overcome any obstacles they may face. I believe that with individual attention all students are capable of excelling in their academics. During my undergraduate studies at OSU I was trained by Americorps to tutor elementary students in reading and math. I worked for two years in the Columbus Public School System helping students that were behind their grade level in those subject areas. In my current high school position I teach a Career Based Intervention class and I assist students with their Engl

Since I find Biochemical processes so exciting, it is easy for me to get other students excited about them as well. Many students feel that the sciences are boring and dull. However, when I explain the processes to the students in their own terms instead of the textbooks they begin to realize that it can be fun! The first step to getting a student to understand the natural sciences is to spark some interest. This can be done through visual aids, models and a variety of other non-tradtional approaches. Graduating from a liberal arts univeristy with a Bachelor's degree in Biology along with a minor in Chemistry has provided for me an incredibly well rounded educational experience. I have a solid understanding of the the natural sciences along with comprehensive lab experience in anatomy, physiology, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, along with other disciplines.

I have a passion for teaching. I love to teach children and young adults. I have always been the teacher to help the struggling students, because at one time I was that student. I understand the encouragement and one on one that learners need. I understand that each of us have our own learning styles and I as a teacher have to understand that to help each student achieve their highest potential. I have a degree in both Elementary and Special Education with a concentration in History. In the past nine years, I have taught Kindergarten for seven years and fifth grade for two years. I have taught Summer School in Math and Reading. I have tutored Junior High and High School students in Math, Science, History, and English.

I am a recent graduate of The Ohio State University, where I earned my BS in Microbiology. My strong background in science and mathematics allowed me to tutor students in both chemistry and microbiology during my time as an undergraduate. Being the daughter of an English teacher, my writing skills were further polished by time spent in college English classes and writing countless lab reports in microbiology, chemistry, and biochemistry. I've worked with both high school and college students, both gifted and disadvantaged students, and I believe that the key to being a successful tutor is understanding your student and how he/she learns. Through my experiences, I've learned how to explain subject matter in a way that enables students to repeat back to me in their own words what I just explained. This is critical. I believe students learn best by understanding first, and memorizing when a
