My teaching style is highly influenced by the type of student that I teach. As a teacher of deaf students, my teaching must be very visual and hands-on. I find this lends itself well to teaching students who might be struggling in a regular classroom environment as well. I always begin by activating any prior knowledge a student might have in a given area, then establishing the goals that need to be met, engaging the child with relevant activities, and going from guided instruction to independent practice. Since beginning college in 1994, I have been involved with teaching and/or tutoring students, hearing and deaf. My experience teaching ranges from preschool to high school, typically developing children to those with disabilities, from impoverished and affluent areas. My tutoring has been both with a nationwide tutoring chain, as well as with a privately owned company. I have tut

A child must understand what he or she is reading. It is hard to do, especially with the books that are out there. I feel I can impart some knowledge to a student. I can make him or her feel comfortable reading. I am a writer. I am not published, but I have learned a lot in the English language. My experience working with mentally ill kids a hew years ago is a great help. I want to help young people with reading skills. I think that I can do it. I am going to live in Las Vegas, and am moving today. I need work. I feel that I am qualified. I am not an extraordinary... teacher. I need a more ordinary student. I feel that I can help anyone read well... Initially I will be living in The Valley Of Fire.

The overall health, well-being and enlightenment of children and their families has been a passion of mine for over 15 years. As a Holistic Health Care Facilitator I understand that it is not just my job to educate children, but it is just as important to educate their parents. For instance, when the entire family has a better understanding of how the body functions more efficiently with the proper sleep and nutrition, then I have completed my educational goals. As an Phi Thea Kappa and Who's Who Among Student's in American Unversities and Colleges honoree, I understand the importance of academic excellence. In fact, during the past 20 years I have taught children on various levels for examlpe, creative movement dance class, reading, writing and science. In addition, I am trained to work with children with special needs such as trichotillomania, obessive compulsive disorder, attentio

I have always enjoyed helping children learn, and teaching the necessary components they will need to further their education as they progress through each level of school. I have taught many different students, with emotional as well as learning difficulties. I have good classroom management skills, a lot of patience and compassion with my students. I am comfortable and confident when dealing with a student's family, in communicating the need's of their child, and helping them with additional forms of instruction to use when they are not in a classroom setting. I graduated from the University of New York at Bufffalo with a B.A. in Interdisiplinary Sciences. I moved to Las Vegas and continued my education at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. I recieved my Masters in Early Childhood Education. I have additional credits in Special Education.

I have volunteered for a violence prevention program for one year and I taught children social skills and also have them complete a nine week course of homework assignments. I also was a big sister for a little girl and I not only spent many hours with her going to the park, arts and crafts, but I also helped tutor her with her homework. I really enjoy working with children, I feel they have so much potential if given the opportunity and some students just need that one on one help with a tutor or a teacher. I make sure that my instructions and how I am teaching is consistant with how well the child is able to grasp the concept or idea I am trying to teach. The whole purpose in teaching is to make sure the student understands and that is what I practice.

Of course it is the goal of the teacher to help the student learn the facts, terms, theories, and skills associated with the subject being taught. Through experience I've learned that the method of teaching will necessarily vary from student to student. Some students will need to be gently kept on task, while others will require a great deal of positive reinforcement. But with all students it is important to balance questioning/listening time, to clarify and explain if necessary, and to gauge the student's comprehension. I believe that we humans are born with an innate delight in learning (witness any toddler) and that restoring the feeling that learning is an adventure encourages and energizes students. When considering a major area of study in college I was pulled between my two loves- Art and English. Though my ability to draw and paint suggested Art would be the natural choice, my

I believe that a teacher's adaptability is the most essential skill. A teacher's style should be evaluated as often as a child's progress. All people develop at an individual pace and style so it makes sense that information should be presented in a manner that actually communicates to each child. Coming from a special education background, it is my belief that every person has the ability to learn. Adapting curriculum for each student would be ideal. For special education this is called the individual education plan. Tutoring, supplemental education, and individual attention to students help to provide this specialized, possibly ideal, situation. Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the l

I have a great love for education and teaching. I feel that all children have a talent that needs to be nurtured. All students have the ability to learn, just not all in the same manner. I believe that no child's best effort is an F. I believe that all children can be taught if they are comfortable in their surroundings. I feel that if I can make one child feel suucessful, then I feel that I have accomplished my goal. As a graduate of the University of Southern California, I valued education and teaching most of my life. I earned my BS degree in General Studies with a minor in English. I have taught grades K-1, 2, 5, 6, 5-8 Reading, 6-8 English, 9-12 Special Education Inclusion English, and 6-8 Special Education SDC.In addition I have tutored students from grades K-8 in my private child care facility. I have excellent skills in Reading comprehension, writing, grammar, ans study skills.

I am a hands on teacher/tutor. I believe in active learning and student participation. I believe all children can learn, and that we all have different learning styles. I enjoy tapping into a specific child's learning style, and teaching him/her strategies to support that learning style. I am flexible and patient, and my years of experience give me the ability to understand each individual student's needs, and align my tutoring to accommodate those needs. I have been a teacher or tutor for over fifteen years. I have taught all grades, K - 12, as well as adults. The majority of my experience has been with students with disabilities, as well as students learning English as a Second Language. My work with adult and high school students has been primarily in English Language Arts, Reading and Writing strategies, and study skills. I have extensive training in teaching English using a
