I recently completed my Master's degree in Portuguese at Brigham Young University. As part of my Master's program, I taught beginning and intermediate Portuguese for five semesters to classes both small and large. My studies included not only language and linguistics but also culture and history of both Portugal and Brazil. I have experience in teaching reading comprehension and writing as well as speaking, and am familiar with ACTFL guidelines for oral proficiency. I also have experience specifically in teaching Portuguese to speakers of other language, and I also speak Spanish and some French. In addition to my ability with Portuguese I have experience in both academic and creative writing with five published works including one for national publication, in addition to another that has been accepted for presentation at a conference this fall. I prefer face-to-face interaction, as langu

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 Have worked for the Davis County School district for 12 years. The last few years I have been working intervention for students who are not performing at grade level. I have learned that not all kids can learn the way they are taught in school. My 8 year old is dyslexic. I Have studied the Orton-Gilingham multisensory approach to reading and spelling. I have also learned to engage children in activities that are fun and creative. I will not be doing the same teaching style as there school. ORTON-Gilingham multi sensory approach. Math without words until the concept is mastered. Using lots of manipulatives including video games, that teach concepts.

I have a daughter that is hearing impaired and has a langauge processing disorder. I also have a teenage son that is extremely bright, but a little lazy at school work. Teaching and watching them learn has shown me all children can learn, but they do it in different ways and at different speeds. I am a kind tutor, but diligent in making sure all the work gets done and we are moving forward as quickly as the child can. I want them to meet or surpass grade level and feel good about themselves and the work they are doing. As a college tutor I worked with ESL students in writing. My English and MLIS degrees help with reading developement, research, literature selection, and writing quality. I have also home schooled my elementary age children in all academic subjects. Currently, I am volunteering at a local elementary school in the STAR program tutoring young children in reading.

Over the course of the last 10 years both in the workplace and earning a 4 year degree I have learned many important skills in the areas of math. reading, and writing. I have had to used these skills in research papers, class projects, creating reports for VP of companies, creating profit margins and so on. After rising 3 children of my own I have come to realize that children learn at their own rates. It is important to encourage and persuade children to grow their skills. Often if learning is made into fun games and puzzles the children respond positively and will want to learn more.

I absolutely 100% believe that ALL children can learn! I believe that it is the teacher's responsibility to provide a healthy learning environment, one in which the student feels safe, secure, accepted and valued. I believe in self-fulfilling prophecies. If a child is encouraged to learn and knows that they can - they will. I feel very privileged to have had an opportunity to have created these types of situations for the students I have come in contact with. During my education experience at Northern Arizona University, I learned early on that I have a passion for education and for teaching. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree and graduated Summa Cum Laude at the top of my class. Through observing and student teaching experiences I learned techniques for teaching students science, English, math, reading, art and music. I also gained valuable grammatical skills through writing

As I've studied International Studies, I have been able to recognize the differences existing from one human to the next. I have learned to appreciate the cultural background of each individual and have learned how to communicate effectively across cultural boundaries. While teaching English to students in Ukraine, I developed the skills necessary to encourage and promote success with each individual child. I learned to appreciate the level that they were at and also to believe in their potential to improve on a daily basis. I believe that it is important, when teaching children, to let them know that you believe in them and are going to readily available to help them in any way you can. I am very patient and understanding as I see children struggle but also push them to succeed. It is important to me to have a positive and loving relationship with my students so that they know I am some

Though I studied Psychology while attending Utah Valley University, I spent two and a half years tutoring college students in English. I spent my senior year editing a scholarly journal for the School of Business Management. As a tutor, I helped students who were learning English as a second language to comprehend and properly use idioms and phrases in their writing, as well as helping them with spelling and grammar. I also helped students whose writing lacked polish to improve papers written for many different subjects. I helped an otherwise smart dental student who struggled with composition write an application for dental school, and he got in. I prefer sitting at the student's elbow, with the assigned work in between us, focusing on it together. I talk about "it" rather than "you" to avoid making the student self-conscious. Writing can always be improved, and each student has areas o

I believe above all that patience is key in teaching people of all ages. If the teacher's listening and communication skills are focused on the individual(s) being taught, the learner will let the teacher know when they are grasping and/or absorbing new material as well as when they(the student) reach their capacity. I believe that in learning it's important to pace one's self, allow the mind time to digest new material, and in finding areas of learning that spark passion. Although I think periodic breaks are important, I also believe in advancing somewhat quickly(according to the students' abilities) and in using real-time examples and experience to facilitate and solidify learning. I do my best to teach kindly, effectively, and maturely. As a student at UofU and BYU I tutored and was tutored myself. While attending BYU I worked in the student advisement center part-time, mentoring
