I Love to Help People

Hi My Name is Shanda. I am 23 years old. I don't have a lot of experience in some stuff but I graduated from High School in 2011 with a High School Diploma. I just love to help people and I am working my way to work in a hospital from an administrative assistant and would like to work my way up to become a NICU nurse that works with Premature Babies.

My daughter that is now 4 was 2 months Premature and ever since then I have always wanted to work with children and babies.
I am a very laid back woman. I like to understand what way you learn easiest and I will help the best I can. I like to make sense of it for you in your way of learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

I always look for a child’s accomplishments rather than the weaknesses. I look for growth over time from where the child started rather than percentage ranking. I look at the whole child, their home life, their academic background, what interests and intrigue them, how involved they are in the learning process. I work with their strengths and weave them into their weaknesses. I provide positive feedback and acknowledge the work it takes to make the small steps that turn into big leaps. I provide parents with positive and encouraging progress reports as well as ideas to incorporate into daily living that will encourage and reinforce learning; games to play, books to read, personal experiences, not to give up.
Teaching is my life work, it is what completes me. I have worked in different arenas of public education for over twenty years. I have substituted in all grade levels, mentore ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with students of almost every age and level. My first teaching degree was a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. With that degree, I worked in a preschool, and I have substituted extensively in elementary schools and in middle and high schools for 12 years, learning to work with math systems such as Investigations and Expressions. At the same time I have aided and taught evening classes for adults learning basic skills to further their educational and career goals, and I have volunteered to teach Sunday school and ESL. To better understand the specific needs of adult learners, my latest degree was a Master's in Adult Education.
It is my belief that teaching truly works only in partnership with learning. My preferred approach to teaching is to start by finding out about students' needs and interests to help them develop and meet their goals. By planning out w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all children can learn if given proper encouragement to develop their desire for knowledge. I greet students with a smile, their name, and a comment to show that I've been thinking about their progress and care about them when they are away from me because that's just me. I constantly evaluate my teaching and try to fit the style of learning to the student; some students respond to movement, others to music, others to humor, some are visual learners, while others are auditory learners, etc. I believe children can reach their potential when given the appropriate surroundings and learning experience.
High school counselors steered me toward math and sciences. During my thirty years as an elementary teacher I taught third grade with the exception of second grade and fourth grade for one year each. After retiring my school district hired me to attend workshops on writing ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a teacher's-assistant for children ages 4-6 I have been able to gain experience working with them one on one and in whole groups for almost two years. This has taught me the value of identifying with the child's unique learning needs in order to encourage and drive their academic success. I believe children need patience from their tutors, steady encouragement, and to be in a positive environment that allows them to feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn without distraction. The importance of good and fun learning early on is so vital to children, and I believe it is our duty as adults to encourage this on a daily basis.
I have a B.A. in Technical Theatre. This knowledge in the backstage end of theatre deals greatly in literature, particularly the study of dramatic writing. Having already a strong knowledge of English studies this experience has further aided my skills ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an outgoing, positive individual and this style comes across clearly when I work with children. I have a gift when it comes to making learning fun and rewarding. Much of a person's self esteem is derived from their accomplishments, therefore it is important to me that the children that I work with learn "how" to do the work, rather than someone giving up on teaching and doing it for them. I am very patient. If I have to explain something several times, I'll do it without displaying frustration and always staying positive. I love teaching kids in a positive way and in a positive environment!

I love sharing knowledge with learners of all ages yet especially children. I am patient,easy going, and love to create that light that goes off in that child when they "get it". I beleive that all children can learn. I also believe that adjustments, modifications, and a variety of approaches are necessary in working with different learners because we all learn differently. I want to help all learners unlock the gifts and talents hidden with to reach their potential to benefit themselves, their families, their community, the world.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love helping and teaching children. I have given riding lessons to all ages of children for years, realizing there is no better feeling than helping children accomplish their goals. I would love to help children in any way I can to meet their academic goals, I know what it is like to have to study hard for what you want to accomplish. Being 25 I feel, and just being a graduate myself, I think can be a way to relate to the children and what they are trying to achieve. I would love to gain this type of experience and would really enjoy this type of work. I also have had a lot of psychology classes and feel that I am good at connecting with people and understanding the problems they are trying to get through.

My drive for knowledge enabled me to complete three degrees by the age of 22. I have high grades in all my classes as well as the extra science and writing classes I take on the side. I have a AAST in environmental science and technology, a BA in marine science and environmental studies, and will have my BS in one quarter. As well as being a full time student except for the summertime I tutor people in need of a little extra help. I have tutors ages from 6-25 and people with disabilities as well. I can help them with every subject, however my strongest subjects to tutor in are Math, Science, and History. I have an understanding that each person learns differently and I am able to cater to those differences in the effort to better help them and encourage there learning.

More About This Tutor...

I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall department and organization. It has been my privilege to work with many bright, wonderful people who often didn't know "why they were doing what they were doing" or how important their role/work was to the whole. As a manager, I knew/know that 'you can only be as good as your people'. I love to see people succeed and come to believe in themselves and their abilities. I come from a long line of teachers and decided I didn't want to be another teacher--isn't if funny that I have most enjoyed the teacher/mentor role within work environments!

A Little Bit About Me...

My objective as a tutor is to instill confidence in those I help in their ability to learn and succeed in an academic environment. Having confidence in the ability to learn allows a person to be a lifelong learner and use their learning to be of service to others. By having a positive attitude, sharing enthusiasm for the subject matter, and being patient, persistent, and understanding I believe I can help students achieve this goal. I believe persistence and determination is the key to success. I am in a wheelchair and as such I will only be able to tutor in a wheelchair accessible building.
