I am an extremely patient person. My teaching style stems from that. I encourage those I tutor to set goals for what they want to learn or accomplish and then assist them in working towards those goals. I am a culinary school graduate and a full-time chef. As part of my chef-ly duties, I regularly find myself teaching cooking techniques and helping people become more comfortable in the kitchen. When it comes to writing, that I do more for my own amusement, but I have always considered myself more of a writer than anything else. I have experience and enjoy training youth in resume writing and goal setting.

more than 35 years of teaching experience in schools,language centers and academies throughout the Middle East. I am a language consultant in English and french where I designed curricula for various levels and trained teachers in linguistic methodology.Teaching is my lifetime passion.The teaching method should be tailored to the student's character,ability and the degree of assimilation.There is no standard method of teaching. Active learning is the most effective way to learn.This entails an ongoing dialogue between teacher and learner.For example,grammar rules are ABSORBED and not taught in an abstract way.At the end of each topic,a role play is implemented where the learner becomes the teacher,and vice versa as this is the best way for both the teacher and students to assess the level of the student's understanding.

Hands on approaches mixed with worldly knowledge, and a very patient style. Experience throughout school, work and personal experience dealing with the mentally challenged and dyslexia. my best friend had a son who was dyslexic and also he had ADD and I got him to trust me in babysitting and I taught him various things. I taught him how to read and write he could not accomplish that on his own. He was 11 at the time and I think with kids you have to be creative to teach them and I am very creative. I also have an aunt who is mentally handicapped, and I love spending time with her she is a very giving person. They teach me and it is always a joy to work with them and give something back.

I am a senior in high school. I have taken a range of different classes and I am able to help students understand what is being taught. I helped many of my friends get better grades so that can graduate with a better GPA. I have never really solo tutored anyone but I feel that I will be able to help in some sort of way. I have taken many science classes and I did very well in them. Also I did very well in English, social sciences, and history. I have also taken classes up through Accounting 4 and i am pretty good with business classes. I have helped in a Homework help lab and tutored kids having trouble in classes before so i have a little experience with helping students. I got A's or B's in all of my classes so I do know most of the material so i will be able to help students. Also I studied how to teach kids in ways that they will understand because most kids learn in differe

I believe that children all come with different levels of cognition. Therefore, each child has their own learning pace. I like to give a child the time that he needs in order to accomplish his goal in learning. I have patience and am understanding--this would be a great benefit in working with children who need a little extra help in their studies. I recently graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Human Development. However, before Human Development was my major, it was English Language. Through my four years at a major university, I have learned how to properly write research essays, what sources are credible for essays, and essay format. I also have had a pet-peeve for words that are incorrecly spelled and when there are grammatical errors in something professionally done.

I have worked in the electrical industry for the past seven years, with a two year hiatus to serve as a teaching missionay in Guatemala. I have a passion for learning, such that I earned my BS in Business Management in only three years of study at the Univeristy of Utah. Through my years of schooling, I have gain masterful skills in both English and Math, due to the many papers and courses I have taken in these fields of study. Due to my many courses in Management and years as a manager trainee, I understand how to motivate people in any circumstance. Also, because of my missionary work, I speak fluent Spanish and have taught people of all age groups and maturity levels. I must admit that my experience with teaching is limited, however I love to sit down with groups of children and help them to discover new concepts and ways to learn the subject matter. I taught five year olds for t

I grew up reading the nutritional panel on everything. I was absolutely fascinated how the body used the food that we eat to derive the energy and perform the tasks necessary for life. This interest in the human body led me to pursue a degree in nutrition. I recently graduated Brigham Young University the honored graduate of my college with a BS in Nutritional Science. Due to the nature of my degree, I have an extensive knowledge in the fields of biology, chemistry, anatomy/physiology, and nutrition. I am not, however, limited to these subjects. I have had approximately four years of tutoring experience for Alpine and Provo School Districts ranging from English, German, Statistics, to Algeba, Biology, and History. First and foremost, I love working with and teaching children. For that reason, my future plans are to be a pediatrician. They are so wonderful and nothing is more excit

My teaching style is flexible depending upon the needs of my student(s). Some students have disabilities that make drilling or repetition styles of teaching and tutoring difficult and tiresome, while other thrive on it. Others need hands on learning opportunities and problems to work through on their own. Regardless of the student’s need, I am a tenacious teacher. If one method does not seem to be working, I will keep trying until I find the right method for the student I am teaching or tutoring. Throughout my undergraduate studies at BYU, I taught and tutored in Spanish for up 24 hours each week. I supervised 5 districts of students, 10 teachers and up to 65 students at one time, while still teaching in the classroom. Additionally, I graded papers for college-level business courses for several years. As part of this experience, I provided feedback on writing, grammar, and content. I

While I have taught in various ways and capacities throughout my life, I have always enjoyed most teaching one-on-one. As an undergraduate Spanish minor I tutored fellow undergraduates learning Spanish. As a graduate student I worked as a political science teaching assistant and taught my own classes in American and ethnic literature and culture. As an assistant professor of Ethnic and Mexican American Studies at St. Cloud State University and the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities I taught various classes on American culture, history, and literature. I always enjoyed the individual interaction with students and believe some of my best teaching was achieved working with students individually. First and foremost I believe in teaching/tutoring from where the student is when I meet her or him. This is because if I don't appreciate and understand what the student knows, I can't really beg
