Serving as a teacher over the last 24 years has provided me with the experience to inspire, encourgage and motivate my students to learn with enjoyment. Working with international students has developed strong and diverse teaching and interactive skills.

Coming from a family where my parents were both educators, no worder why education was so important for us kids growing up. First,I experienced teaching as a teenager leading catechism classes in the Catholic Church for a couple of years. I remember loving it. Later on, I had a change of heart and felt in love with teaching again. I started as a teacher aide, helping ESOL students. When I saw how much I could help them, it made all the worth of the world. Now, after certification and 10 years teaching, with all the ups and downs, there are always students that I can help in any way, from learning a subject to even in a personal matter, and when I acomplished that, I feel satisfaction and a sense of work well done. I am always learning and improving myself to give to the class and my students all what is available and interesting for them. I am very creative and energetic, and I try to br

I like to make my classes fun and game like. I use different methods for remembering such as how to apply photographic memory as well as music and lyrics. I also like the use or repetition in order to memorize. I like to give weekly tests on the subjects studied and implementing the reward system. You do well on the test, you get a reward. (These rewards I have always asked the parents permission, examples are candy, toys or fun trips, movies, etc). I have a BS in Intntl Communications and Journalism and specialized in PR and Advertising. I carried out these studies in both Spain and the US. This experience gave me the opportunity to perfect various languages, to adapt to other cultures and to work in different environments. I began studying Aviation and Biology which gave me extent knowledge in many areas (math and science as well as the military). Writing research papers and lab r

I wholeheartedly believe in the power of education. I believe that education is the key to our freedom in life. I hope to teach this philosophy to my students. As a teacher, I would describe myself as laid-back and patient. I have found that my patience is what helps me in helping students comprehend the information they are learning. I teach to every learning style and intelligence. I believe all children can learn much more than we expect of them, they just have to be taught the way they learn. Diversity is what makes our world go around, and that is what I teach to my students. Growing up, I never thought that I would want to be a teacher. After taking a job as a Childcare Counselor with the YMCA, I realized the I was meant to teach and work with children. I have been working with the YMCA for close to three years.

As a University of Delaware graduate and a current MBA student I pride myself on my education. Throughout my carreer as a competative figure skater, education has been a priority and I feel it is the foundation to a person's successes in every aspect of life. Studying art history in college I was able to gain extensive experience in research and writing as well as a variety of basic college level courses in every subject. In highschool I excelled at math and science and was able to become more diverse in college with my writing skills. I have also done research across the world for the University of Delaware leadership program as well as the University of California Los Angeles archaeology program.

Every child is different and must be evaluated in such manner to meet and exceed these expectations. Students given diverse learning experiences find they are more confident and are more willing to strive to meet and exceed these expectations. As an educator, I strive t

In my current job, I feel I am a strong trainer because I am able to determine people's learning styles. By determining their style, I am able to train them in the way that they will learn more quickly. In tutoring, I would have the skills to determine how the child will learn the information. Some children might work better by watching someone else solve the problem while explaining the steps. Some might learn by just reading a complete step-by-step process. Some students may want to try the problem on their own, and then explained where they went wrong. They may also want a combination, by doing the problem themselves while the tutor talks them through. I have trained employees in all of those ways, based on their personal learning styles. I would be able to complete the same process with children. I have been in management for six years. In those six years, I have found the mos

I love children as of ages, and am eager to teach the writing skills, hoping they can find as much joy in writing as I do. I am patient and understanding, having worked with mentally ill persons both in my job, and in my volunteer work.

As a graduate of Humboldt State University with a BA and a 2 year post-graduate certificate to teach, I have been led through an array of opportunities over 28 years. I have dealt with special needs children, teens, preschoolers, elementary children and taught any subject placed in front of me. In addition, I taught Drama, Speech, Creative Writing, Script Writing and Math at local Cooperative Groups in the state of Florida. The growth that each student achieves is my best reward. I love learning and love to pass that on. In tutoring, I first work at instilling confidence and apply small victories to achieve that goal. I find the learning style of the student and modify the information in ways that can make them more successful. I look at each student as an individual with specific learning styles that they respond best to. My goal is to identify the learning style or styles of yo
