I am a student-centered educator and I was known among my students as someone who was more than just an instructor because I took the progress of my students in class as my personal problem and took exceptional measures such as working beyond time and relentlessly motivating them to overcome their difficulties. I am an educator who helps students make it.

I am committed to helping students achieve mastery of the writing process. Using direct instruction and excellent examples, I take students step-by-step towards building better sentences, paragraphs, and essays.

I graduated from the University of Iowa on May 15, 2010 with a BA in Elementary Education and a reading endorsement. Apart from my area of specialization, reading, I also took seven science courses at the University of Iowa, mainly in chemistry. My volunteer experiences have shaped the person who I am today, as I have completed over one hundred hours of volunteer work in schools and hospitals. Approximately thirty of those hours were spent one-on-one with first graders, helping them on math and reading skills and strategies. Furthermore, I completed my student teaching experience in a 5th grade classroom, in which I taught math, reading, spelling, vocabulary, writing, and science. My teaching philosophy is to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for my students, in which they feel equal and confident as learners. Creating a positive learning environment begins with build

I have trained students to think, analyse independently by making them practice more and gradually increasing their expertise to solve the most complex problems. Since the level of mentality differs with students, its my responsibility to provide them more time and use different methods to increase their level of understanding. I strongly believe that children will be able to do their best if the teacher knows what are their abilities and where they lacks. I am very considerate to my students and willing to help then in achieve their goals. My major interest and most of the works were in research field, that helped me in explaining the theory of a subject in a practical way. I earned my Master's in Nano Medical Technology and Bachelor's in Biotechnology and Biochemical Technology. I gained research level knowledge in math and science that has been one of the major credential in both Mast

I've served as a tutor for entry level geology courses during my undergraduate years and served as a Teaching Assistant in graduate school where I taught two environmental laboratories each semester.

My education thus far has been centered around writing. My collegiate career, the two years I spent in law school, and currently while in pursuit of MBA have all enhanced and refined my writing skills. All of the papers I have written for class are in APA format. I have received 6 perfect papers out of 4 classes I have taken thus far. I have become efficient in researching all required material needed for a paper, organizing and proofreading. I am confident in my writing skills as well as my ability to teach someone how to write an excellent paper. Over the past eight years, I have tutored family members, friends, and volunteered my time as English tutor at a local high school while in law school. I love to help others. When teaching, I love to keep things fun and upbeat because the pressure of achieving excellence is stressful enough. I take what the student gives me meaning I a

My experience as a teacher has been gained through my work at Easter Seals, a pediatric physical therapy center, for which I have taught many children skills in life, communicating, and other various skills. I believe that a good teacher student relationship is imperative. Also I think that learning is best done in a stress free environment. I strive to provid

I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science. I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process.

Ever since I can remember I have been involved with teaching. I consider myself to be patient, understanding, compassionate, and at times, a role model. I truly believe that every single student is capable of learning and success, sometimes it simply takes a new fresh perspective or a little repetition. I really enjoy helping students to understand concepts and not simply memorizing information. With true knowledge of the subject matter students are more likely to be able to apply what they have learned and remember it much longer. I also believe that successful teaching requires a lot of encouragement and a positive attitude. I want to teach so that I can help others to achieve the best of their ability. During my undergraduate education I was very dedicated in pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education and completed a variety of experiences working with studen
