Experienced teaching college student for hire.

Interactive modeling of examples, repetition, and simplifying subject matter are key components of my teaching style. Many students have difficulty relating to academic material due the lack being given time to practice example assignments. I also teach universal strategies of how to study material to fully understand assignments.
I have worked as a Special Education Instructional Assistant for the past 8 years. I am currently attending school to become a special education teacher. I have experience teaching many different students from various grade levels and have tracked their academic progression. I have ran several reading and math interventions for my school sites for kindergarten through 8th grade.

My teaching style involves fun and an active student. Self-discovery is the best way to learn and retain knowledge. I see myself as the facilitator; I give my students the tools, so they can figure out problems on their own and become more self-reliant. I want learning to be fun, involving games, healthy competition and active learning, so students become life long learners. Having said that, I have high expectations for students' abilities and behavior. I have always been able to build rapport and a mutual respect with students of all ages and backgrounds. That trust makes the learning environment more impactful.

I have experience working with students of all ages and I thoroughly enjoy the challenge each person brings. I treat each student according to his/her needs and I look for the most effective ways he/she learns. I ask the student questions that lead to his/her discovery of the process, steps and answer to the problem. With this method the student has the satisfaction of resolving the problem, encourages him/her to continue on to more difficult ones, and gives him/her the confidence to do his/her best!

As a college graduate, I was extremely driven to achieve a high level of academic excellence. I earned my bachelors degree in Communication Studies with a minor in Philosophy. These have enabled me to have an understanding of many areas of Language Arts, History, and English. As a Comm Studies major I was held to a high standard of technical writing with essay and would always use credible sources for my research.
I love to teach, there is nothing more self rewarding then helping a person who is struggling to achieve something and helping them with their goals. I believe all students can find academic success somewhere if given the correct opportunities and surroundings. I firmly believe that I have been educated by some of the best and these educators have made a world of difference in my life and expectations. I would like to help students in the same way my educators helped m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For the past 10 years, I have worked in my community, helping to better the lives of children. At age 15, I began mentoring young girls and volunteering for a non-profit organization, counseling developmentally delayed children and at-risk youth. I later went on to become a Behavioral Therapist, educating children with autism. My love for children (and passion for education) was the determining factor in the course of my college career. I attained a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Utah in 2008 (graduating with a cumulative GPA of 3.8). In addition to my Psychology degree, I also hold a certificate in Human Factors Engineering and recently published research in this field.

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught High School English for 5 years at Tempe High School in Arizona. I also coached the Girls' Tennis team and was Sophomore Sponsor. I taught Advanced College Prep Writing Classes, Honors Classes, and Grammar Classes for all High School levels. I have the CBEST Certification and have been a Substitute Teacher in the Sacramento Region.
I believe all students are capable of writing well. Teaching takes a great deal of patience, enthusiasm, and a love for learning. I also believe all students are capable of loving to read--they just have to be introduced correctly. All of my students found enjoyment in reading. I initially found books they could relate, and that was the key. I was a very popular English Teacher (even with Shakespeare) because I truly loved my art and cared deeply about my students and their individual needs. Students know who really cares.

My teaching career has been focused on working with student with learning disabilities, academically challenged, special education, and student’s with I.E.P.s.

I am patient with students and encourage them to learn at their own pace. Students learn at a different rates and have different comprehension abilities. Some are able to absorb a material faster than others. But they will all learn the subject matter if given the chance and encouragement and by introducing the subject/explaining it in different ways with patience and concern.

A Little Bit About Me...

In all my professional teaching experiences I strive to give my students the best education they deserve. I am a strong advocate of teaching phonics and reading skills in the early stage of learning. All students need the basic foundation of reading and writing. I taught in Elementary grades for many years and I went through all types of learning abilities. This experience allowed me to alter, modify, and structure instructions according to each individual's learning needs. As stated in my resume, I was appointed many times to conduct trainings for new and struggling teachers, especially in Reading and Writing. Most of the time I initiated and conducted my own tutorial programs after schools or during the weekends.
Teaching is my passion and would not trade this profession. I am result focused and motivated to achieve it. I believe in goal setting and I work hard to appropriate ... read more
