Most of the struggling students i have encountered seem to have a low confidence in themselves that interferes with their studies. I believe this is due to the manner in which students are tested; in order to fully understand a concept, the student has to be able to explain the concept and its application in his/her own words. By starting from the basic concept of the field of study and working up, the student can acquire real knowledge of the subject. This practice involves patience and kindness on the part of the tutor as well as a certain measure of creativity and flexibility in the teaching approach. I started my college education in a community college, where i met many struggling students trying to improve their career opportunities. As a peer tutor at that school and in the jobs i have held since, I have developed a appreciation for the satisfaction that comes from assisting p

I am a certified teacher, with 25+ years experience as a special ed teacher, tutor, and homebound instructor for PK- grade 12. I have a B.S. Degree in Special Education K-12, an M.Ed. degree in Early Childhood Special Education, and a graduate certificate program qualifying me as an Assistive Technology Specialist. My most recent job provided me with experience developing and providing training to teachers and students, especially regarding modifications and adaptations that would facilitate inclusion of children with disabilities in the regular curriculum. Previous experiences include responsibility for implementing and carrying out emergent literacy practices in special education classrooms. My philosophy on education is much like my philosophy on people in general. I believe in a very person-first approach to people in whatever situation I meet them, whether it be socially or educ

My teaching style is adaptive. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn. The approach to learning is what makes the difference. Being a mother, I love children and am very patient. I also know that kids have their own distinct personalities and I address each child as an individual person, with their own talents and ideas. There is nothing better than when a person's face lights up, young or old, when they "get it." Knowing you have impacted a person, potentially for the rest of their life, is a reward in and of itself. The pay that comes attached to it is the bonus. Since graduating with my Chemistry degree in 1997, I have volunteered off and on within the classroom, mentoring and tutoring children of all ages. I have several younger siblings and children of my own, so I have taken the many opportunities to go in and out of the classroom as a classroom parent, after school program

I love working with children of all ages. I am very easy-going, down to earth, and personable. I connect very easily with children and know how to get through to them, which allows them to learn on an easier level. The children who I would be tutoring would be my number one priority. Their learning and comprehension skills are my first responsible, and I will make sure that the material is learned to the best of their abilities.

If it is fun and enjoyable then students will remember it and will learn.

I have found a great place in teaching, especially tutoring, due to my desire to help other people. I enjoy walking students through new information and giving them a firm understanding of the concepts and facts. I believe that there is nothing outside of a students grasp. I present the information straight forward, then use analogies and metaphors to relate the information to the students on a different level, giving them a more solid comprehension of the material. Seeing the student not only succeed, but retain the information and a confidence over the knowledge is the most rewarding experience. I finished high school with a high aptitude for Math and Science. I enjoyed AP Calculus, Ap Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Advanced Chemistry. After a year as an Engineering Major, I decided to switch to Music Education. I have a degree in Music Education.

I love everything about working with children. I believe that everyone can learn if taught in the manner in which they can understand. I believe a teacher/tutor should try to adapt and change their methods to assist and engage the child in a productive learning enviornment. I believe that everyone has a role in the growth and success of a child's education. My goal is to provide the child with adequate resources and guidence needed to gain academic greatness. I am a hands on teacher because I believe individuals learn better when they are engaging in that which they are learning.

I have never had a formal teaching position. However, in working with staff accountants in the firm I worked in, I was the one that helped explain issues and have always been told that I was very easy to approach and never intimidating. I have always felt that you do not make yourself look better by making someone else look bad. I never assume that the people I was helping understood everything. I tried to never skip over basic information. I never want to see someone struggle. I have been working in public accounting for 17 years. I have supervised accounting and support staff for the last 10 years, and know that I have an ability to explain accounting concepts in understandable terms. I also am a mother, and feel the best way to help someone learn something is not through intimidation but by making them comfortable and relaxed. My dream has always been to teach. Knowledge in Gene

I believe in trying to incorporate each learning style into my teaching plan. This means that I use lecture, reading assignments, and hands-on learning to accomplish this. My main focus is to make learning matter. I have often been heard using the phrase..."So What?" I ask that question because I firmly believe that effective learning not only teaches the what...but also the why. I want students to be able to apply their learning. That way, ownership for the learning has taken place and it will "stick" with the student for a life-time. I have served over 10 years in private Christian education as a principal, business and operations manager, and teacher for both middle and high school. In addition, I have taught adults in a variety of organizations over the last 20 years. I am also a professional magician and have instructed adults and children in this fabulous art form.
