I have worked in both industry and government working on a worldwide basis with people of varying cultural backgrounds. I have traveled extensively in my profession. Over the last several years I have been involved with several business and working extensively with the Native American pueblo communities. In terms of tutoring, teaching, or mentoring I have worked with children of all ages in reading and math tutoring principally as a volunteer. Professionally, my work has been in mentoring young adults and technical training. In teaching I am basically a generalist and humanist. My background is in mathematics and the sciences, but with a solid foundation in the humanities. Practically, I have never stopped learning something new and in addition to my formal credential I have done university course work in languages, forestry, animal husbandry, and sports training.

I have extensive experience in education in a variety of learning environments. I began my apprenticeship in academia as a peer tutor for the College of Santa Fe's Student Support Services/TRIO Program (program of academic support for first generation, low-income students and students with learning differences or physical disabilities). I tutored students in writing, biology, religion, philosophy, political science, literature, psychology, Spanish and cultural history. I worked with traditional-age college students and adult students, students with a range of learning styles, and students from diverse cultural backgrounds. As an academic adviser and tutor coordinator for the TRIO Program and adjunct faculty in the liberal arts core, I continued to work with a diverse range of students in the classroom, in small groups, individually, and on-line adult students. I have taught writing for

I am a college graduate with a Bachelor's in Economic Theory and Theater Production. Currently, I am finishing my Masters in Education. In addition, I have a New Mexico teacher's license and am "highly qualified" by the State in Math. I first began tutoring, especially math, in high school and have continued to do so over the years. I am highly motivated when it comes to teaching. And, am a believer that there is more than one way to learn. I believe in making subject matter relevant, not to mention interesting. Having different methods of explanation is key. As well as a solid foundation in the material. I am extremely patient and an excellent communicator. Finally, I believe in teaching to the potential, i.e., there is always more to learn and more to strive for.

Daily observance of grammatical errors, such as on restaurant menus, on printed literature, and on school assignments made my decision to major in English much easier. My English degree necessitated that I write multiple essays that focused on grammar, coherence, elimination of wordiness, and other aspects of proper English writing. The editing and medical writing courses approached writing from a slightly different angle, while the traditional grammar course further revealed the connection of all words to each other in a sentence; nevertheless, it was another opportunity to better my writing ability. My tutoring experience started about two years ago as a volunteer for an ESL student. The past two semesters I worked as an English tutor for 100-level English students. The focus of that experience was essay writing. I am currently a part-time English tutor at a community college. Te

As a student in Health Science, i.e. Medical Technology, I worked in a genetics laboratory for 14 years learning lab instrumentation, trouble-shooting, cytogenetics and professional etiquette. Lectures as well as public presentations of newly discovered genetic abnormalities was my passion. I truly enjoyed preparing and presenting these exciting talks. I decided to change careers and look into the education field. I have been working on obtaining my Alternative Teaching License and will complete my coursework for this by the end of May, 2011. I have been a teacher's assistant for the past 2 and 1/2 years in kindergarten classes, one of which is a bi-lingual class. My style incorporates exercise kinesiology, developmentally appropriate materials and hands-on learning activities that are meaningful. I have been learning about Integrated Thematic Instruction, and I feel the incorp

After completing my degree in 2007 at the University of New Mexico, I moved to Denver, CO and taught for one year at Morey Middle School. Since the school is only 5 blocks from the Capitol building and a multitude of museums and libraries, I was able to tutor a few students from the school in a real-world environment. I have a secondary endorsement in mathematics, and my 24+ credit hours in science allow me to teach general science in Colorado. I am moving to Albuquerque in a couple weeks, where I have accepted a position at Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School, a very exciting new liberal arts charter school in the heart of the city. I believe that children learn best when the material is most tangible to them. When teaching or tutoring, I make a huge effort to incorporate the students' names into math problems. I make it my goal to find out as much as I can about the students,

Socratic, I like the students to build on what they already know so that it becomes an extension of their long term memory not another short term memory soon forgotten. I have found ways to connect almost any subject matter from physics to algebra to chemistry nomenclature into something one already knows. If one uses long term memory pegs one can "file" things in memory and recall with very little effort. I have received a degree in English and was a pre-law student. I owned a real estate company in 1990s. I was in the Navy (scored 95% on ASVAB) and worked in the field of intelligence. I acquired legal experience working within real estate and finance. I have an intricate knowledge of contract law, working knowledge of medical law - where it governs patient interaction, privacy, medical records and patient rights.

I enjoy teaching because I love to learn. My diverse experiences have helped me become a well-rounded flexible and professional teacher who enjoys collaborating and learning from people from all backgrounds, ability levels, and ages. I am good at listening, remaining patient, solving problems and communicating information clearly. I embrace the individual and strengths that students bring into the classroom instead of focusing on the perceived weakness.I also share my passion, curiosity for math. Math is something fun to do. I was working as an statistician researcher for UNICEF when I decided to become a math teacher. I realized that my real passion was not conducting research, but teaching students. I have earned an BA in Economics from University of Massachusetts, but I decided to go back to school to get a masters degree in education.I focus my thesis on multilingual math education,

My formal teaching experience is limited to two years with seventh graders and high schoolers. When I pursed graduate work in cell biology, experiences with formal education were limited. However giving seminars and training technical staff was common and bears similarity to formal teaching. Tutoring is a happy mix between formal and informal teaching combining focused attention and designing specific tasks for student growth. In a word, my teaching style is Socratic. Often that means I respond to a student’s question with a question that enables them to figure out answers for themselves. Other times, my questions are designed to stimulate ideas beyond the student’s view so they need to “stretch” a bit. I firmly believe this style encourages the student’s creativity and belief in their own capabilities. Coupled to the formal teaching and certainly as important is the relationship

I am confident that my teaching experience with kids, young professionals and adults, combined with my education at Antonio of Nebrija University of Spain, will verify my qualifications. I specially love working with kids and youth. At Nebrija University, I have learned new teaching methodologies which focus on the communicative skill of Spanish as a second language, and task and constructive approach teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I have had great results applying these techniques with my students at beginning to intermediate levels of Spanish. As a native speaker (Perú) I feel honored to teach Spanish language. During the last three years I have tutored students of different ages and level of Spanish. I have also tutored basic Italian and ESL I have always enjoyed helping other people Throughout my life. I think tutoring is a good learning resource for students. I beg

Thanks to a fortunate background, I have always been pushed and motivated towards educational excellence. As a result of this, I have always searched for ways to give back to the community to which I belong. The words, "To whom much is given, much is expected" continually ring in my ears. I have received a BS in Biology and as a result I have a strong background in Chemistry, Calculus and Statistics. I have also pursued a minor in Spanish and as a result I have both studied abroad and achieved fluency in the language. During two years of college I was a Teacher's Assistant, providing me with a strong one-on-one teaching background. As a T.A., I also gained experience teaching classes. In addition to a strong education and background in teaching, I have also conducted research in my field which adds both practicality and application to the education I have received.
