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. Hands on approaches mixed with worldly knowledge, and a very patient style.

I review course material with the students who I teach. I ask questions to get students to think about the lessons and concepts. I will sometimes emphasize important information to remember and keep in mind. I will sometimes follow questions up with explanations of the curriculum and key concepts and other questions. I served in various teaching and leadership positions in my Church. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I believe that it is important to have fun while learning. A good example would be my experience with science. I used to hate science, but my senior year of high school I had a great teacher in my Advanced Biology class. He made the class fun and entertaining. I believe that is the best way to teach someone. I do not have a ton of experience. I am a college student currently attending Utah Vally University. I love to work with people. I am currently studying Behavioral Science. I am a quick learner myself and I have a lot of patience. I currently volunteer at a Children's Justice Center. And I work at Survey Sampling International. I love to teach people of all ages. I know I don't have a ton of experience, but I hope that someone will give me a chance to prove myself. I really would love to tutor.

I enjoy working with parents and children in facilitating their child's success. I believe in more of a kinesthetic approach and feel that children learn best 'hands-on.' I also feel that children and educators are crucial in the development of families and society. I am passionate about bettering the lives of children everywhere. I would love to assist a child on a one-on-one basis, being a tutor/mentor. Ever since I was introduced to American Sign Language (ASL), I have been deeply fascinated in the language and its speakers. A year after my initial experience with ASL, I decided to create my own Bachelor's Degree at the University of Utah. I was able to design curriculum pertaining to my desired field of interest. The classes I took were mostly education related. I had several classes in education psychology, multi-cultural education, diversity and culture. My major emphasis

I enjoy working with children of most ages although I worked mainly with K, first, fourth and high school levels during my four years of experience. I believe everyone has the ability to reach their greatest potential with appropriate help and that sometimes extra assistance can be the difference between success and failure. I use rewards to help children feel better about what they have accomplished. I encourage the use of creativity in learning as long as it does not distract from the lesson that needs to be learned. During my four years at Case Western Reserve University, I became aware of the needs of the city schools in the area and worked to help improve the situations in the schools. I worked with AmericaREADS, OhioREADS and other similar programs to help tutor children who were not able to get the individual attention they needed in the classroom. Because of my background in

Teaching is a personal act. Though I have enjoyed being in the classroom and seeing students develop as a community of learners, I have seen the most progress by addressing students' individual needs in a one-on-one situation. I see literature as one of most effective ways that people come to understand one another, the act of reading being a fundamentally unselfish and inquisitive act, an attempt to make sense of and relate to another person’s perspective. Writing is reading’s reciprocal act—a kind of reaching out in hopes of being understood, in adding somehow to the volumes of human perspectives. These are keys to democratic living. It is a great thrill for me to see these discoveries take place within the students I teach. Having recently graduated with a master's degree in Literature and Writing, during which I also taught two college-level freshman writing courses, I am well versed

I love working with children and kids of all ages. My teaching methods include asking many questions to encourage children to reach for the answer(s) as well as to make the subjects as fun and as interesting as possible. I have the ability to reach the child on their level. I always give praise for effort as well as for trying and encourage those that I tutor, to strive for knowledge. I feel that education is of the utmost importance in a child's life to help them develop and grow properly. I am a graduate of a small private University in Virginia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Multimedia Design. I have taken ample Mathematics classes since my graduation in 2005 and have spent in all about seven years tutoring and teaching both kids and adults in Mathematics, Science and English.

In preparation for college, I knew that in order to get into the kind of small private colleges I was looking for, earning a high enough score on the standardized exams like the SAT and ACT was very important. Although I scored very well on both tests, my writing and reasoning skills underwent great improvement in my college's intensive honors program for accelerated studies. Since 2005 I have been tutoring full time, and teaching in small classrooms for the Anchorage school district. I have had great success with a variety of students and types of curriculums in all subject matters. My teaching style varies depending on the type of students I am teaching to because I believe that each student has a particular learning style that they find easier. I think that it is important to find the types of learning that each student finds easiest to understand, and tailor the course so that it wor

I am an extremely patient and positive teacher. I believe that the fundamental gift a teacher can give to their students is the gift of confidence. In my experience the primary obstacle to a student's progress is usually their own disbelief that they can do it. As a teacher, if you can persuade the student to overcome this doubt, the rest of the job simply requires patience and resilience. I am an aspiring condensed matter physicist with extensive knowledge of chemistry and mathematics. I have experience in the industry working as a researcher and engineer which gave me a deep insight into applying the physical principles I learned in school. I have taught English as a second language in a formal setting and tutored numerous friends and colleagues in matters ranging from introductory physics to technical writing.

My teaching style incorporates an initial understanding of the student. I believe that it is crucial to understand the needs, wants, and habits of the individual to get the most out of each session. I am able to create an atmosphere which makes the work seem interesting and even fun at times, giving the students a new perspective on the many times 'boring' subjects to them. I also consider myself one who is able to push the student to their full potential. When a student surprises oneself with an ability to overcome a challenging problem and find a solution on their own, I know I have done my job. I want this result with every single student I work with. Being a recent graduate of the University of Portland with a degree in International Business and Finance, I have already had the opportunity to use my skills by working in Financial Services in London.
