I love teaching, and I believe that everyone can learn when given the chance.

My teaching style is as varied as the students I have taught. I feel it is important to relate to the student in order to help them learn best. When there are different learning styles, I do my best to use a variety of teaching techniques in order to cater to the need of the student. I feel that follow up is important, as well as repetition and hands-on practice. I am not a lecturer. I find my best students learn one on one or in a small group where they can be comfortable and ask questions. With children, I have a similar approach as learning, for a child, can be very intimidating, and they have already had enough trouble in school, so patience and kindness is a best practice. As a Home Depot Associate, I have trained many levels of management, human resources, new associates, and tenured associates in all areas of product knowledge and management skills. I will be enrolled in a Mast

Previous students have often remarked on my practical teaching style, relying on real world examples and explanations for business and mathematics. The only way to remember information long term is to relate it to something tangible, especially in subjects like statistics and economics. Relating the ephemeral to the practical is important, and later allows for the information to be used in a real world setting much, much easier. I have tutored people since third grade, and have recently graduated with my masters in business administration with honors. As consistently as I have tutored, I have also excelled in an academic atmosphere and would love to share my knowledge of test taking skills and subject knowledge. I have had a wide focus throughout my experiences, with emphasis on statistics, essay writing, and business theory, and I have also done university research on neurophysics m

Most of my career has involved some level of teachng or training. I trained new volunteers during the Peace Corps, I taught rural Tunisian families how to use available resources to improve their lives, training natural education instructors and volunteers at the Wells Reserve, traqining and coordinating volunteers within my roles as Executive Director, completing all course requirements for my Maine Teacher Certification, obtaining Ed. Tech III, Highly Qualified status in Maine, and substitute teaching, and now in my role as Title I, Ed. Tech II at Valley View Community School in Farmington, NH where I work extensively with children with special needs. I believe that questions are more powerful teaching tools than simply delivering answers. I do not wish to teach my students WHAT to think; my goal is to help students learn HOW to think, and to develop a pssion for learning which extend

Teaching is a facilitating process. I believe it is my job to aide the student in developing a more solid understanding of the coursework in front of them. This may involve explaining the same concept to the child in a variety of ways to help them understand. The child may also just require a patient instructor who is willing to keep practicing until they have reached the mastery stage of learning. Whatever the case may be, a high level of patience, understanding and gentle persistence is necessary in order for the child to feel as though they are making progress and not get discouraged. I have two years of experience teaching adults in college-level and public adult education settings. Additionally, I have about 3 years of experience working with children from infancy to adolescence and was a lead after-school teacher. My professional business background, entrepreneurial s

My teaching style is entirely individualized to meet the needs of the child. As a special educator, my instruction has most often been diagnostic, targeted to meet specific goals and objectives. I relate activities to real life, so that lessons are interesting and students can apply and generalize learned skills. I use a multisensory approach. My lessons often include a combination of visuals, formula guides, manipulatives and other materials carefully selected to support and engage the individual student. As a fourth year special education teacher, I have an extensive repertoire of strategies to help students learn. Having worked with both disabled and nondisabled children, primarily in small group and 1:1 settings, I have developed an acute sense of each of my students' learning styles, strengths and needs. Previously, I have tutored in math, social studies and study skills at the uppe

I have gained valuable experience in the classroom while studying Leadership: the importance of effective communication, listening skills, and persuasion. I am a calm and caring person, and am patient and creative while teaching. My students feel comfortable with me and I am able to bring out the best in them because of their comfort level. As a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Northeastern University, I have gained experience in persuasive writing, research papers and presentations. I have tutored on a volunteer basis for English as a Second Language.

I love to encourage and reward students for their efforts. I want what I teach to be fun and become something they want to learn rather than some thing they have to do. I will put together a plan that will entail all the required learning objectives while including ways to relate what we are studying to every day life situations. My style is to let the student have the freedom to expand their own imagination, I want my students to feel what they read and understand the content in a way they can speak open about the story or subject. I am a good public speaker and have been very successful in motivating people. I know I can make a great difference in a students life and I want to make a difference in our future leaders. I hold a degree in Business as I have been in this field for over 30 years. I have been an engineering assistant for ten years and worked in sales and marketing. Upon my

Since my graduation from Simmons College, Boston, MA in 1988, I have worked extensively in the publishing industry as a freelance writer for magazines, newspapers, and guides. Recently, I have become eligible to teach in the state of New Hampshire, and have worked as a Teacher Assistant in the Londonderry School District. I also have been tutoring students in grades 5-12 in reading, writing, and history. In addition, I have worked with younger students in mathematics. I truly love being an educator, and I hope to continue my role as a teacher. I particularly love working with learning disabled students in writing and reading. My teaching style is based on the belief that children perform well academically when given an opportunity to learn in their own unique way. In particular, I have worked with students with receptive-language difficulties, ADHD, and oppositional behavior. I
