I encourage my students to find self-motivation and develop interest for learning. Constant thirst for knowledge and self-improvement defines and sets apart successful individuals. My tutoring experience has been with students majoring in foreign languages - Russian or German. I have assisted students to learn or refresh grammar, reading and conversation skills. Level of difficulty varied from beginner to intermediate learners. In addition, I have occasionally assisted with homework for children I used to babysit for.

Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way. I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels.

I love working with adults. For those who have skills and motivation, it is a matter of gaining trust and accelerating the use of those skills. For others, I provide assistance in seeking knowledge, and building self-confidence in order to move ahead in career and school objectives. I like to challenge, assist, view first draft efforts and then help polish into finished documents. I have a lot of experience in this. I have spent my entire career in marketing and sales, first, then applied those skills to marketing communications. My interest is in health care and I am currently a professor of health care marketing, communications, policy, community and public health. During all my years of teaching and now, I have been a fairly polished writer. During my doctorate, I became a polished academic writer and now I am a dissertation mentor and committee member, working on others' important wo

I have taught for 20+ years in Germany (mainly Math, English and Reading) and for 4 years in Kansas City, MO. There I taught all core subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Right now I have got several part time jobs: I work as a sub at a colligiate high school (all subjects), I will teach German at the Edison College in Fort Myers (Continuing Education) and I tutor for a private company doing SES tutoring - Reading and Math. I have prepared young people to do their GED, too. The subjects I did there were Math, Science and American History. I love educating children and adults and strongly believe in lifelong learning. Since I have taught at several levels and even in different countries, I use different teaching techniques. My goal is to help the learner to get the best education possible.

After having lived in Germany, teaching ESL in a middle school, I returned to the United States to teach in the Irving Independent School District in Irving, Texas. During that time I taught German, French and Spanish to middle and high school students. Subsequently, I was offered a teaching position for the Department of Dependent Schools, which is managed by the Department of Defense Education Activity. I taught Study Skills and German for three years in the Ramstein area in Germany. I then transferred to the United Kingdom where I taught these modern languages on an air base near Cambridge. Presently I am teaching ESL to businessmen in the Tampa Bay area as a free lance contractor. Having acquired skills in three foreign languages by three different learning methods, I have a good understanding of language acquisition as well as language usage. Communication and expectations are

I prefer working with students in small groups or on a one-to-one basis where I can give individualized attention and see rapid progress. I establish rapport with my students, as I know that if a student is comfortable with his or her teacher, they will learn much more easily. I often write my own supplementary materials and try to make even the driest subject come alive so that the student understands the relevance of that subject. I have been a teacher for over 25 years, both in academic and non-academic settings in the U.S. France and Egypt. I have worked extensively with non-Americans of all ages, and am therefore culturally sensitive.

I believe that the best teacher is one who avoids the standard, didactic method of instruction. Rather that lecturing or feeding information to my students, I aim to hone their critical thinking skills so that they can develop an inquisitive mindset capable of engaging in problem solving and engendering creative outcomes. For me personally, teaching is rewarding as it has encouraged me to see the world from multiple perspectives. The teacher-learner relationship is a dialectical one--one that has remolded my worldview even as I attempt to do likewise for my students. I have earned a bachelor degree in English and two advanced degrees in history, with emphasis in US history. In addition, I have been teaching English in a local associate degree program in St Petersburg, Florida, since August 2005. The two English courses I have been teaching since 2005 are Composition and Literature. Since

I love my students, put them first, and put developing rapport with them as a high priority. I maintain eye contact, smile, and speak respectfully. I make lesson plans in advance; however, I allow students some freedom in choosing the order of activities. When questions come up, I try to lead my students to an answer by asking questions in return. I provide regular testing to determine when they have mastered a concept and are ready to move on. I inspire my students to be confident and creative. Then they are motivated to improve academically. Here are some examples of my teaching style, taken from my teaching practicum through my college English Education program. My twelfth-grade honors class gave their teacher rave reviews when I substitute taught a lesson on Macbeth. The text was my guide, and I wanted my students to be guided by the text to new discoveries. Later, I led this class

In educations “one size does not fit all”. As an Intern, I had the opportunity of working in a highly diverse classroom with students from different cultural background and learning abilities, teaching three 7th grade World Geography classes and two 8th grade U.S. History classes. . As a teacher my goal is to make sure students understand the content. Using differentiated instruction to include all the students, I prepared lesson plans complete with images, sounds, and films, and as needed explaining content in Spanish. I believe in education to improve one’s life. My working experience includes working as Program Manager for non-profit organization providing free child care to low income families, bilingual teacher assistant, substitute teacher, office manager, and banking as Research Analyst.

I love teaching young people. But I don't mind if they are older, because I'm very patient. Always, I prefered to ask the level of the person in any subject and I begin from the minimun level, step by step.. I always reach excellents results.. I'm from Ecuador and I speak native Spanish language. I'm studying Oil Engineering so all days I'm practicing English because all books are in English and it's easy for me understand them. I have earned a English degree in an English Language Institute named COPEI in Guayaquil-Ecuador. Actually, I'm teaching Basic Statistics at university. But always I've teached mathematics, chemical and physics for high School's students.

I am very passionate about helping others succeed. One of the best decisions that I have ever made was to pursue my childhood dream of being a teacher. I have primarily worked with at-risk populations (varying age groups) and believe in every single one of my students. I have a Master's degree in Education and a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Technology. I have worked in a variety of settings including elementary schools, a middle school, church, a college, and most recently a language center working with foreign exchange students learning english. I love teaching, inspiring, mentoring and encouraging students of all ages! I believe that every student can learn. When I work with adult students, I am amazed at the ones that don't really believe in themselves. Some adults have been discouraged by family members, life circumstances, or by their poor performance in school. Regardle
