I entered college in my late twenties and have been involved in some aspect of learning ever since. I was able to complete my BA in Psychology and Religion as Cum Laude and my MA in Counseling Psychology with a similar GPA. Since graduating I have had the opportunity to work with children and adolescents in a counseling capacity which often mirrors mentoring, teaching and leading. I obviously have experience in psychology and religion. As well, I have extensive experience in writing for my career, assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, etc, and in school with the many research papers, summaries, reviews, etc. This has allowed me to hone my grammatical skills, comprehension and analytical skills. My experience working with children is in the area of those with mental health issues, most of which have learning disabilities as well. I love my work and I love children. I believ

I really enjoy working with children with various learning styles and abilities. I'm a patient, open-minded, empathic listener whose focus is the development of your child's potential. I strongly believe that building self-confidence is vital for each individual. By being self-confident, one is more sure of himself, and can gain a higher sense of self-esteem. By being taught through positive motivation, teachings, and feedback, each student will become more self-confident and have a positive attitude with any situation he or she may encounter. I recently completed my thirteenth year of full-time teaching in the state of Michigan. I taught all subjects at the sixth grade level for eleven years for a public school. I've also taught all subjects at the fourth grade level, along with third grade social studies, for a Catholic school. Along with years of experience teaching a vari

Although I have just received my teaching certification in Elementary and Special Education, I have had experience in teaching a variety of elementary age students, including some with disabilities. I truly believe that my field time interacting with teachers and students has had a positive impact on the type of teacher I will become. The additional exposure I have gained outside the classroom, swim instructor, coach and team captain, have also provided me the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of children, young adults and parents. These life experiences have helped develop my interpersonal skills and compassion towards the teaching profession, which will help me to become a more insightful and effective educator. I believe that children learn best through continual interaction, repetition and positive re-enforcement. I enjoy teaching across all subject matter and believe that

As an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh, I have many experiences working with and teaching children. I have earned my bachelor degree in Applied Developmental Psychology where I completed many practicums. I tutored first grade at Manchester Academy and I also tutored Kindergarten at Hilltop Community Children's Center.

After student teaching, I became a permanent substitute in a Kindergarten classroom for two months. I am currently a substitute teacher for East Penn School District and Parkland Area School District. It is my passion to teach children. I believe every child can learn, but it is up to the teacher to discover each individual's learning style. The teacher needs to create the appropriate atmosphere and experiences for each student.

I loved working with the students in the Mission Acceptance program. I worked as a team leader, so I had the opportunity to work with a group of fellow mentors as well as students, which provided me experience with a variety of different students. I learned that each student has his or her own path to understanding the material and needs to be approached in a unique way. I find that in order to bring out the best in each student, one must understand how he or she receives information and plan accordingly. I earned my BS in physics and spent over a year working on medical device research. As an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh I spent some time in the Physics Undergraduate Lab helping students in the introductory courses. I also spent time as a Team Leader for Mission Acceptance, a program that pairs successful college students with local high school students and provides men

Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement. I learned teaching and assessment techniques and I learned to modify teaching style according to students needs. I have ten years experience working as a substitute teacher for the public school system, in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I also have there years experience working as a tutor in the state of New York, one to one, with failing students, teaching reading and math to students that range from K to 12th grade.

Having been in the sales field for over 17 years I understand that everyone learns differently. In order to be a successful teacher/tutor I believe you must first understand how someone processes information. After understanding that you can then move onto to teach that individual in the most appropriate way to maximize their learning. I also believe patience and perseverance are key to learning. I started my undergraduate studies in medical technology and biology and later changed my major and graduated with a BS in business management. I further my education and have completed half of the requirements toward an MBA in pharmaceutical chemical studies. During the last 17 years I have been involved in pharmaceutical sales and sales management. In these roles I have had to mentor and teach representatives daily. I have also had to teach medical professionals technical information.

Thirty-three years of teaching experience in not only the same school district, but the same school, has allowed me to finely hone my craft. My first 20 years were spent working with sixth-ninth graders in a middle school business classroom, enjoying the yearly curriculum changes in technology. My Master's focused on elementary education, and the opportunity to teach sixth grade Social Studies and Reading/Language Arts led to continued tutoring of students in all subjects. In addition, my role as Student Council advisor meshes my school/community leadership skills with those within the classroom walls. I always begin a class with in upbeat, fun atmosphere. I sometimes have powerful, familiar music playing when my students walk into the classroom. (Other students walking by in the hall frequently stop by to see what's going on!)

My beliefs about teaching are to educate and challenge students to become skillful communicators, independent thinkers, and life-long learners. I believe every child has a different learning style. Learning should occur in a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment. I will be accepting of my all my students as individuals and encourage them to do the same with their peers. It is my belief that children are at various levels of intellectual, emotional, social and physical development. Therefore, I will be oriented toward the unique students’ needs and interests and I will provide a flexible educational program. I received my B.S degree The Pennsylvania State University and my Masters Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix. I have always known that I wanted to become a teacher. I believe educating our future, our children, is one of the most important jobs anyone could

I have demonstrated competence in successfully managing a profitable retail business. The necessary skills are invaluable. They can be used now in a classroom to help me become one of the best teachers/tutors in your school system. I have knowledge of: computer programming, software knowledge, accounting, care and maintenance of buildings, physical structures, and equipment, etc. A teacher with these accomplished skills now has the necessary ammunition to acquire ways to have children learn in a positive manner and to encourage them to do their best. I just recently started substituting again in my own local district. Passion, selflessness, and compassion are some reasons for wanting to be a teacher/tutor. I would want to know all that I possibly can learn about my students' life styles, behaviors, wants, and needs in order to help them achieve and learn as much as possible. I
