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.

I really enjoy teaching because I am passionate about the things that I am teaching and like to encourage passion for learning in others. I always strive to show my students the connection between the work they do in the classroom and its connection to society and the world as a whole. I feel that encouraging such a relationship with the work makes students more willing to seek out knowledge in and out of the classroom. I completed my BA in English at the University of Utah in two and a half years in order to begin work on my MA in English as quickly as possible. In the half year between completing my BA and beginning my MA, I was a substitute teacher in the Jordan School District in Sandy, UT.

I get to know the student first and see how best he/she learns. and go from there. I have worked with so many different personalities that I have been able to help each the best I can with understanding and patience. Tutoring a subject that I also had to learn will make it easier to teach them the tools that I needed to do the same. I hope that by showing how I did and that it was doable that they too can do it. I was an American Read tutor at two elementary schools. I worked with kindergarteners and third graders to enhance their reading skills.

I never realized exactly why people go into teaching until I gained first hand experience. Teaching is one of the most rewarding things one can do as a profession. When I first started lab instructing, I immediately fell in love with it and did it as long as the university allowed me. I look forward to any teaching opportunity that may come my way in the future. As a Weber State graduate, I majored in Zoology and minored in Chemistry. Even though science has always been a passion of mine, I am very knowledgeable in math. During my undergraduate studies, I have gained even more experience and improved on my grammatical skills. I had the opportunity to be an Anatomy lab instructor for three semesters. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to tutor my wife with her math. At first, this was a challenge. Math is a subject where one cannot only rely on memory. I found that it's best

The bachelor degree that I earned in Business Management required a substantial academic effort on my part. Writing the essays, business evaluations and case studies was at times overwhelming to me but I was able to complete them in a satisfactory manner. The fact it was difficult helps me to project myself into the various viewpoints of my students so that I can impart to them a clearer understanding of the targeted subjects. I started tutoring students while I was still in high school and since then I helped students of different, age, ethnic and language backgrounds with subjects such as taxation, customer service, economics, computer science, finance, math, accounting, history, electricity, English, Spanish, history, science and psychology. I enjoy the challenge of teaching, I love enriching the lives of both children and adults. My experience has taught me that each person learns

I absolutely love working with kids and teens. I believe that all children want to experience success, but each might define "success" a little bit differently. I am willing to take the time to find out what motivates each individual student and go the extra mile to help them. I am a firm believer in experiential education and try to relate what a student is learning in class to something they love, engaging and involving them in the process as much as possible. As a tutor, I do my best to make things fun while also making progress. I recently finished a double-major in college and maintained a GPA of 3.75. I took many education courses throughout my college career in obtaining my degree in Childrens' Studies. I have helped tutor in biology, earth science, social studies, English, algebra, reading, and Spanish.

I have a Master of Arts degree in English from Utah State University and have taught EFL overseas and within the US. Recently (from 07-08), I worked as a Math Tutor for challenged fifth graders and also for Kindergarteners part-time at Lincoln Elementary in Layton while my son was in pre-school. I am competent in elementary math and sincerely enjoy helping others to find the inherent beauty of numbers and what they can do. I love kids - they are often sweet, funny, easily impressed and are a great audience. I know that it is possible to make learning fun through a close, interactive relationship with a student - showing and guiding them through your own discovery of the subject. There have been times when I could feel one of my students learning; it is always a smile-provoking moment and I treasure every one.

I believe the most important trait a teacher can have is enthusiasm as it can be contagious and get students to completely engage a subject. I strive to be enthusiastic and dynamic in a teaching setting. I also believe in working to tie concepts and ideas to students' everyday lives. This approach brings students closer to the subject matter and also helps with retention of material. Lastly, I believe it is important to have a nurturing environment in which no question goes unasked because the student feels uncomfortable. By being open, enthusiastic, and tying material to the world around us, I am able to help students realize their potential. I graduated from Hampshire College with a degree in Anthropology and Photography. These degrees required rigorous researching including an intensive semester of independent field study. My field study culminated in a 70 page thesis and corre

As a 5th grade bilingual teacher, I have a strong commitment to each of my students. I tutor students outside of classroom time in order to ensure that they are successful. I have experience tutoring students in mathematics and reading. My graduate work consisted of an MA in teaching with an emphasis on research. I am also well versed in math, science, history, reading, and writing, and I earned a certificate of excellence for my elementary content knowledge on the Praxis test. I love teaching children and finding ways of making learning come alive for them. I am always looking for creative ways to help students connect with what they are learning. For example, as a summative project in our unit on circuit electricity, my students built small, electric go-karts. Additionally, I am firmly committed to establishing a strong foundation of academic knowledge for my students. I believ
