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.

Education has always been a focus in my life. It has always been a priority and I will continue to make it a part of my life. I currently just finished two bachelor degrees, BS in Math and BS in History, while also obtaining an endorsement in Secondary Education. I am currently in the process as licensing as a secondary teacher in Utah. During high school and also college I volunteered my time at local schools to help students with projects, homework, and also gained some teaching experience. I have also tutored various individuals with Math and History at all school levels. Teaching and working with students is my life’s passion. I believe that all students can learn if given the proper experiences and motivation. Making connections to the content material and having someone that cares to provide motivation is something that is crucial to many students. They just need to know th

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. 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.

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 various research papers and essays during my studies. 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 sit

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

I believe you can only help the student learn if you are willing to take time to "bend down" to their understanding and help lift them up. As a person that easily empathizes with others, it is natural for me to take time to understand the person who I am tutoring. Through building trust with that person I can naturally help them to understand what they may be missing or not understanding. Through helping the student know that I care about their learning at a personal level I believe that they will learn to trust and the teaching/learning relationship will begin to naturally occur. As a recent graduate of BYU in Business Management (finance emphasis) I have been able to show excellence in my own school work. I have a major GPA of 3.85 (including many Accounting and Finance classes) as well as receiving a 4.0 while taking the “finance core” classes. Receiving a score of “5” on both

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 of strength and weakness. I try to pick one area that needs the most attention, and focus on it. When there is significant improvement, I move on to the next area of weakness. Pointing out all of a student's mistakes and weaknesses at once drains morale, and that is counterproductive. Working on one area at a time keeps the student from being overwhelmed. I like to have the student read out loud to me, so that we can both see what needs improvement. I also point out what was done correctly to boost confidence. Goals are important, as well as establishing a time frame for achieving them.

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

My style of teaching is very calm and patient. I try to be a "guide on the side" as I help students create knowledge and realize their own potential.I believe the best way to learn is by creating understanding of conceptual ideas rather than attempting to memorize content. This is best achieved through constructive learning experiences that allow students to see the bigger picture and understand the brooder concepts. Once the student has a strong conceptual background, they can begin to work on memorizing facts, figures, and vocabulary to accompany their conceptual understanding. I have worked with students of all ages and in all different subject areas. I have recently completed a semester of student teaching in a kindergarten class where I worked with the students on reading and writing skills. I have also worked with older students including an adult with learning disabilities. I
