After over 20 years of experience I know that children are different and possess unique qualities and various skills. They learn at different rates, have different interests and sometimes need different approaches to teaching. I know all children can learn and it is a joy to see that learning take place. I have usually used a developmental approach with hands on activities. I have been working with children since obtaining my teaching degree in 1981. My experience has given me the expertise to work with a variety of children, manage a classroom, work well with others and deal with parents effectively. I have worked as a Special Education teacher in an autism program, been a substitute teacher in various elementary schools and a Director/Teacher in four preschool and childcare centers. The positions I have held have given me the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people. During m

My professional experience includes teaching remedial reading, private tutoring of elementary level students, volunteering as an adult literacy tutor, and teaching English as a second language. I also home schooled my three children, teaching each to read when they could not learn in school. My children are all now in college, the eldest studying for his Master's at Boston University. I believe I can teach anyone of any age to read and write effectively. As a highly intuitive and flexible instructor who recognizes that we all learn in different ways, I adjust my methodology to the individual student. No one approach works for everyone, so I pay attention to what is effective for each person and tailor my instruction to those needs.

As an advanced student in highschool algebra, my teacher chose me to tutor one struggling athlete and one girl trying to raise her B to an A for acceptance to an Ivy League University. In discovering their different learning styles, I was able to teach my students in a way they understood. Seeing the light in their eyes as they figured out a problem gave me a passion for teaching. Your student is capapble of learning; it is my responsibility to discover their learning style and present the material in a way that he or she understands. In addition to completing accounting courses for my B.S. in Accounting, I completed two courses in Child Development and Education, and all college level math courses through Calculus. I have tutored students in math since 1989. At Juniper Elementary in Bend, OR, I was a Good News Club teacher and volunteered as a reading specialist working to improve r

I believe that the most important element of teaching and tutoring is the ability to vary one's teaching style to meet the learning style of a student. I am patient and comfortable explaining things multiple times and in multiple ways. I believe I have the creativity to help any student find a way to make sense of his or her material. I believe firmly in experiential education, in which subject matter becomes alive to the learner through activities or other practical approaches. I believe that students with all ability levels can master the subject matter with the proper support and the right approach and I believe that I am perceptive enough to be able to find such an approach for any student. I have worked as a tutor since I was sixteen years old, first as a peer tutor, and then in various contexts following my college graduation. I have experience working with learners at varying leve

My teaching experience has all been in volunteer roles. I taught Sunday School class and Youth Group at New Hope Church in Bend for grades 5 through 12. I have recently applied for and been accepted as a mentor in the Deschutes County COPY (Central Oregon Partnership for Youth) program, and have gone through a 6-hour mentorship training program as a requirement of the program, in addition to fingerprinting and a criminal background check. My Bachelor of Science degree gave me a strong math background, and I have significant experience in writing technical documents, and proofreading reports. Learning is like a puzzle or a code, and I enjoy the reaction of students when they finally solve the puzzle, or decipher the code. I try to show the student the practical application of the subject, and then make them enjoy their time learning. I love seeing the joy of the "Aha!" moment. I hop

As a Masters level teacher I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in my teaching methodologies. I have earned a BS in Education and a Master of Arts in Education with a Supervision Endorsement, which enabled me to gain understanding in many areas of sequential learning for elementary children. During my 11 years as a public school educator I took more courses in language, inquiry-based learning, and hands on science strategies. Working with students one on one is an ideal situation which allows me to help a child fluorish and learn. I am available to help your child find their most comfortable ways of learning, and to construct an atmosphere where they feel comfortable sharing their difficulties as well as their success. Research has shown that children will rise to our expectations, and I will expect, through our teamwork, that your child will succeed.

My teaching style involves a large degree of listening and patience. I strongly believe that each student requires a unique teaching style, tailored to his or her needs, strengths and weaknesses. I am a very patient and understanding young adult who loves working with children of all ages and assisting them in discovering the joy and importance of developing his or her reading and writing skills. Given a stimulating, challenging and rewarding environment, children can gain valuable knowledge that will give them the opportunity to advance and feel confident in their future academic and professional lives. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a primary focus in International Business, a secondary focus in Marketing Management and a Minor in Speech Communication, along with a certification for Economics through Lunds Universitet in Lund, Sweden, where I spent a

I have over 35 years experience teaching at the university level including courses in statistics, research methods, medical sociology, writing, and numerous other topics. I have also conducted management training to public service managers and employees focusing on management skills and employee development and compliance. My teaching style will vary according to the task at hand. For example, in teaching or tutoring basic, knowledge-based subjects, my approach is more structured and gear towards building knowledge and mastery of the subjects at hand. In preparing students for educational success, my style is adjusted to the student. That is, every student is different and unique, and will demonstrate his or her own natural learning abilities. In this respect, I work closely with students to discover those intangibles that motivate and inspire them to learn. I can definitely teach

I like to build relationships with children. I use a great deal of humor and positive feedback. I work to build a child's self esteem and feel that is essential. I assess each student's academic level and plan accordingly. I assess each student's learning style and plan learning activities around that. I love to use creative experiences with children incorporating imagination and art! I like to make learning fun! I like to target specific skill areas that the child needs help with and celebrate with them when they overcome a learning obstacle! I like to encourage them to THINK! I have taught grades first through sixth in Phoenix, Oregon and in Redmond, Oregon. I taught in two magnet programs, one was with an emphasis on early childhood best practices with a focus on literature, writing, and creative projects. The other was with intermediate grades using Mini Society, a program in

I graduated with two bachelor degrees(in English Literature and in Theater Arts). I had planned to continue my graduate studies to obtain my Oregon Teacher's Certificate. Due to legislation, there was a radically decreased need for teachers. I decided after my children were grown to return to school to obtain a Masters' degree. I have been a substitute teacher in Oregon for tutoring/detention while a teacher was on medical leave, and was a teacher's aide in California. I was also the team's scribe and grammatist while in graduate school. The other memebers of the team would submit their parts of the project and I was in charge of making sure everything was properly edited and grammatically precise. I am a lover of English - good writing and good grammar never go "out of style." As such, I love to instill a love of reading in those whom I teach. I am a visual learner, but this does not pr
