I am "on-fire" for teaching. I have alot of enthusiasm for educating and I bring that to my teaching style. With mathematic skills, I believe that it is important to stress organization and "doing the steps". Even though math can be frustrating for some children, I try to break it down to simple steps and guide to students to work towards the whole solution. Positive experience and attitude will help all children with math. I want to be a positive influence in student lives and strive to be available help and listen when needed. As a graduate of Grove Ciry College in Grove City, Pennsylvania, I hold a BA in Mathematics and well as a secondary education teaching certificate. These degrees have given me both the education and instruction in higher level mathematics as well as instruction to teaching methods and styles. During the last 7 years, I have tutored students in Algebra, Alg

I am certified to teach secondary mathematics and social studies by the state of OHIO. I also enjoy teaching college students and tutoring on a weekly basis. I teach for the students to learn and to enjoy the learning process. I am satisfied when I see the students are able to grasp the concepts on their own and see how the application works. I have worked with a variety of children from kindergarten to high school and college levels. I am an educator who does make a difference in my students lives and I love teaching. As an Ivy league graduate, I was driven to acheive a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree in education and masters degree in education with a major in mathematics. I have also worked in the business field and am able to teach students today how to apply mathematics in the real world. Recently I have been teaching as a substitute teacher in

While I draw much of my knowledge from my university education in physics and mathematics, the majority of my teaching experience is drawn from the world of corporate retail management. I have trained employees of all ages and backgrounds in both store operations and product facts. I possess good communication skills, both spoken and written, that have been sharpened through collaborative work in physics and individual work in sales. Every person has a unique background and set of experiences that he or she brings to the learning experience. It is difficult, at best, for the student to correctly assess how his or her experiences affect the learning process. Thus, the burden is on me, the instructor, to determine how a student learns, and adjust my teaching methods to meet the student's needs.

Me teaching style is similar to my leadership style, democratic. I like to have students explain what they are thinking when approaching a problem. This way, it is possible to determine where the breakdown may be. Examples, definitions, and sometimes taking a step back can make a significant difference when attempting to move forward. A strong base is vital. My passion is sharing my knowledge with others. I studied at Kent State in Kent, Ohio. While at Kent I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science, and a minor in English with extensive course work in business. Following undergraduate study, I ventured on to complete a Master of Arts in Physical Education. My concentration was Therapeutic Recreation with a focus in gerontology. I taught a class during my graduate assistanceship and acted as a teaching assistant to three professors.

My teaching experience started teaching in a pre-school with 4 year olds. I then taught 3rd grade for 1 year and kindergarten for 9 years. When I updated my certificate (just in the last year) I did some teaching in a mildly handicapped resource room. I feel my style of teaching is one of being a facilitator. I choose to interact with the student by asking questions so enabling them to reach the answer through their own thinking processes. The excitement of seeing their confidence build as they realize they can figure out problems independently is the reward of being an educator. I believe my job is to guide and support the student.

During my 35-year of teaching, I spent 30 years teaching everything from Alg. 1, Geometry, Alg. 2, Trig., Statistics. I was also a math department chair for 5+ years. In that capacity I wrote curriculum for local and county districts. I also lead my department and county in choosing texts. I worked on committees at the county level in training teachers. After my retirement, I realized that I missed teaching and working with young people and helping them prepare for ACT tests and classroom assignments. I have spent the last year tutoring at Sylvan learning centers. I absolutely love my job! However, my center is closing and I hope to move on. I have loved teaching and still keep in touch with many of my former students. In fact, I have taught many of their children! I seem to end up helping students with more than just their homework. I have always had a talent for understan

I believe that each child learn differently, and as such, I have found the best way to teach is to cater to each child's individual learning style. In working one-on-one with students, I feel as though it is crucial to build a trusting relationship in which the child feels comfortable stating whether or not the teaching style I am using is working for them. Being only 22 years old, I feel as though I have an advantage, as I am close enough in age to the students that they are able to almost see me as a peer, but I'm also old enough for them to respect me as an adult. It was in my senior year at UConn that I learned about a program called City Year that enables young people as myself to work within the realm of urban education. As a City Year corps member, I was able to work both inside the classroom and after school with a group of 22 ninth grade boys at Glenville High School in Cleve

My name is Erin and I am an Educational Specialist with the University of Akron. The program I work for assists Akron public students with getting into college. I have my Masters in School Counseling from The Ohio State University. I have worked in Columbus and Akron over the past five years assisting hundreds of students in their quest for higher education. The students I have tutored in ACT and SAT Prep have increased their scores after about 15-20 hours of tutoring. My passion for teaching is to ensure that each child reaches their full potential. I believe that every student has the ability to attend college. I have seen several students struggle with college admissions due to low test scores. I have seen numerous students overcome their testing fears and anxiety by practicing the skills and becoming more confident in their test taking abilities. I have patience and respect for each

I obtained my BS in Business Management from Clemson University in August of 2009. During my time there I was a member of the Varsity Swimming team where I competed against world class athletes within the Atlantic Coast Conference. Balancing life as a student-athlete created a unique and challenging college experience for me. As well as athletic experience, I served as an Assistant to the Director of Community Relations at IPTAY Collegiate Club for 2 years. Within this position I was in charge of a variety of volunteer events for student-athletes, many of which involved tutoring and mentoring elementary aged children. I plan on beginning my pursuit of a MAT in Early Childhood Education this May at Kent State University. My teaching style is extremely hands-on. I have found through my coaching and swim lesson experience that I relate well to kids and by approaching the situation in a fun

I served as a mentor to a middle school student as a high school student from 1999-2002. I have volunteered for the Cleveland Metroparks since 2006, and enjoy public outreach. I have a strong academic background in biology, a B.A. in Biology summa cum laude and with Departmental Honors and currently working on an M.S. in a biology-related field. I taught every quarter in residence at The Ohio State University while completing my Master’s degree. The courses were undergraduate Biology courses of varying levels for science and non-science majors. Teaching science is my greatest passion, as I feel many people have many misconceptions in the field. I am patient, but firm, and acclimate to the climate and the students around me to best facilitate learning. I am always available by email to my students, and will do anything I can to help an eager student. It is important, in the sciences, for

In May of 2009, I graduate from Kent State University with a BA in English and The Writing Minor certification. As a college student, I took many courses highlighting grammar structure and the writing styles of APA and MLA. As a student, I held part time jobs as a nanny for three children and a high school athletic coach for Gilmour Academy. In these positions I was able to learn the most efficient ways to work with elementary level children and teenagers preparing for college. My role as a nanny allowed me time to help with after school activities and homework assignments, as well as teaching the youngest to read and spell. I believe that every child has the ability to be academically great given the right amount of individual time and guidance. An individual's potential has no limits and is always attainable if hard work is present. I believe in firm, but positive reinforcement a
