While in high school, I discovered my love for math and began tutoring classmates in that area. My interest in writing developed during my educational career at The University of Tulsa, where I had courses in advanced exposition and argumentation and writing for the professions along with literature classes in the areas of Russian and British Literature of the 18th Century, Eastern Literature, and Greek Literature. I also took courses in Spanish, including a composition course. I currently have contracts to publish 2 manuscripts in 2011, one being a compilation of poetry and the other being a research paper dealing with depression stemming from exercise withdrawal. I feel that we all have the aptitude to learn, yet each individual discovers that aptitude in a different manner. My first and most important goal is always to convey this to the student in an effort to let them know I believe

An instructor, one must create a safe environment that is interactive and collaborative and that promotes problem-solving and critical thinking skills. By giving students a voice in class, not only do the students benefit from peer-peer learning by enriching the course material with personal experiences and knowledge, but they also take responsibility for their own learning and, therefore, enhance the integration of their new knowledge into practice. To create a safe learning environment, I encourage students to ask questions and give their views on the material we are covering. I create assignments that improve students’ problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

My passion is working with children of all ages. I believe all children can learn and it depends on how you approach their learning. If a child is not learning, I need to re-evaluate how I go about teaching. I am very patient and have an outgoing personality. I believe that you must teach to the whole child before true learning can happen. I have been a classroom teacher for 9 years. All 10 of my years out of school have been in the education field. My first year out of college I taught at an unaccredited private school, and then at an accredited day care center. The next 7 years were at a public school. One year I was recruiting for scholarships at the college level. I have always opened my door to students without expectations of payment for several years. I feel that it is my duty to make sure they understand their assignments.

I love teaching and working with youth. I believe that children have various ways of learning so it is very important to cater to the childs learing style. I am positive that each child has the mindset to learn given the proper attention and environment. I am very patient, understanding, and easy to get along with. My goal is to make sure that your child leaves each tutoring session with a better understanding of the material they are learning, as well as the desire and will to put forth their best effort with any challenge they may face in an academic setting. With an understanding of the need for education, I have a bachelors degree in Management Information systems, a Masters degree in Business Management and am currently pursing a second Masters degree in Psychology. As a result of my work related experience and educational background, I have extensive knowledge in the areas of readi

I know the value of a tutor in a young person’s life. As a child I struggled in math, but working with a tutor I overcame my difficulties in this area and eventually went on to complete calculus level two and even become the math club president in high school. I have earned two degrees, a Masters in Business and a BS in Finance which have allowed me to gain extensive skills in math, statistical analysis, finance and writing. I’ve written many research papers and a business plan for a small company which garnered several awards. I have work experience in finance, accounting, and writing and am adept at using most of the Microsoft Office programs to complete projects. I have one year of tutoring experience. My teaching style is patient and creative. I seem to find unique ways and examples that the learner can understand to help describe how to solve problems. I’m not afraid to admit if I

I have worked with children since I was in Jr. High School, teaching Sunday School at my church. I have always been very patient with children and have allotted them time to comprehend a topic before going on to the next. I believe it is important to go about teaching children according to their individual learning abilities and interests. My experience working in the Early Childhood Education Department at the University of Oklahoma as a graduate assistant has also influenced my beliefs about teaching. I think it is very important to make learning interesting to the child by creating a learning experience that is based around their interests, while teaching them the skills they need to know to advance. In high school, I began teaching at an early age. I took a Teaching Cadet course in high school, in which I tutored and encouraged children in reading, math, and science skills. I also ta

I was accepted into AmeriCorps*NCCC, a community-based, government-run volunteer program upon my college graduation in 2003. Over the course of the next year, I was able to participate in projects that included working with the homeless, foodbanks, environmental projects, Habitat for Humanity and various educational programs. It was during my time as a teacher and tutor at an elementary school in a very low-income area in Sacramento, California, that I discovered my knack for teaching. Although I received my BA in English Writing, I never thought to pursue teaching as a career. It was because of the AmeriCorps-inspired love of travel, thirst for knowledge and the education award I received upon my completion of service that inspired me to continue my education at OSU-Tulsa. While working on my MA in TESL, I have been able to teach at the University of Tulsa, Tulsa Community College and w

My strengths are with all children, they are my passion. I love inspiring and motivating students to learn. I try to actively engage students in learning by using a variety of activities, projects, and manipulatives. In addition I have been able to use reading strategies to help students achieve a successful year of learning. I am an open and friendly teacher, with a bit of a funny bone at times. I live by a Dr. Suess quote “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” I will be a graduate of Northeastern State University as of May 17th, 2010 holding a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. I will be taking my certification test during the weekend of April 17th. This spring I complete my full internship in Owasso Ok, where I taught 5th grade.

Every student has a unique combination of learning styles, but he or she also has a predominant one such as visual learner, kinesthetic learner, etc. I try to figure out which style or styles the student responds to and use those styles to get through to the student. I also have the student explain the problem to me. Usually there is only one area where the student has gone astray in his or her thinking. By explaining the problem to me, I can see what he is and is not “getting.” Then we can concentrate only on what the student does not know. I can tutor any level math through college, physics, Spanish, English, ESL, earth and physical science. I can also tutor MS Word, Excel, Outlook, Adobe Photoshop, QuickBooks, etc. I am high school certified in Advanced & Intermediate Math, English, and Spanish K-12 as well as earth and physical science and ELL/ESL.

I am very passionate about education and hold the belief that all children are capable of excelling in the classroom. I am a firm believer that individual attention from an educator is often necessary for a student to achieve this success. My goal is to make the subject come alive for my students and to help them master all relevant material and skills. It is not enough to merely help them memorize facts - it is important to understand why these facts are important and to help them see the bigger picture of what they have been asked to learn. I have known that I wanted a career in education since I was a little girl. Fittingly, I graduated Cum Laude with a Degree in Secondary Social Studies Education and a minor in History. I completed two internships: one in AP Psychology and the other in World History. I have one year experience as an educator. During this year, I taught high school U

In my classroom I had activity with structure. I encouraged my students to think for themselves to solve problems rather than depending on me to think for them. They were allowed to have the freedom to make mistakes, and to have courage to try new material. I cushioned them by allowing them to have time to think, to go at their own speed, and to work hands on with learning partners. We had opportunities each day to work as a team, and we built personal responsibility for homework, daily assignments, classroom behavior and citizenship. I had individual time with each student every day, as well as presenting visual lessons to the entire group. Each child felt secure and valued. I have always loved children, and have never wanted to be anything other than a teacher. I taught a total of 30 years, with 23 of those years being in public school. The other 7 were spent operating and teac
