Will need to brush up myself, so we'll learn together! One on One is the ideal method for me as it allows time dedicated to the tutored. It makes them feel special and appreciated and also allows time for coaching and motivation. My experience in Tutoring is a bit fleeting only having done it in odds and ends; non-professionally at best, but as I see progress in others, it inspires ME to grow. Also knowing that I have helped in some small part further encourages me to help out more. I don't have any track record to speak of but I what I hope to provide for those under my wing is a chance to believe, as motivator Les Brown would say, "It's Possible that I can succeed!" THAT'S what students REALLY need to know.

I find enthusiasm and interest in the subject taught is very important. If I can convey the interest and fun that I get from working problems and show it through my teaching, students who fear or hate math or any subject tend to rethink their position from a disabled frame of mind to one that exudes confidence in their approach. I have a strong interest in mathematics in the areas of algebra, geometry, and statistics. I have completed 9 credits of statistics and 6 credits of algebra. I can also tutor in business and psychology. I have been working with in academia for the past 3 years and am working towards becoming an adjunct-faculty at the local college.

My experience consists of tutoring college students in the subject areas I learned for a Bachelors degree in Health Science. This consists of: General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Physiology, Anatomy, and Biology. I also have experience teaching children soccer. I played collegiate soccer and I was involved in many soccer camps teaching children the basic skills of soccer as well as communication and self-esteem. I now have been accepted to teach adults at the Church I go to. This is on Thursdays and my title is volunteer teacher. The teaching style I have is really a mix of all styles. I was exposed to teaching classes as an undergraduate student. One class really taught me the importance of building a teaching style with all of the learning styles involved. Whether it is visual, kinesthetic, audio, or reading, a good teacher will take the time to incorporate all of th

Because I had such a hard time learning and focusing in a regimented, institutional-type learning setting in school, and yet was a brilliant child, I teach extremely well in a relational more relaxed approach. Rather than "shove information down throats" I am interested in each individual, and to get to know their personality and learning style. I have found that when there is relationship and trust between the mentor and the student, not only does the student learn the information more effectively, but as the mentor, I am able to teach and speak more clearly. Rather than lecturing or preaching at them about what I think life should be like for them, I take them hiking, out to eat, to movies etc. I have always had a heart to help others become the best that they can be. For the last 2 1/2 years, I have been taking in troubled teens into my home and being directly involved in coaching the

I love both teaching and tutoring. It is a joy to me to be able to help students learn. I believe in the constructivist theory of learning. We learn by doing. Thus, I don't believe in merely showing a student the solution to a problem. She must work through the problem herself, using an approach that works well for her. My job as tutor is to provide guidance, supporting the student at first, then gradually dropping my support as he gains confidence in his own abilities. Techniques I use include asking leading questions and demonstrating ways of solving similar problems. I also try to ascertain exactly where the student is having difficulty, so that I can help her in the areas where she needs the most help. Making a difference and helping young people grow is what education is all about! Because of my strong interest in education, I am changing my career field from computer progr

From June of 2005 till January of 2009 I was homeschooling a family of 5 children everyday. I taught them all their basic curriculum as well as art, music, p.e., cooking, Spanish, sign language, health, and safety. When they needed help, I tutored them until they understood the material. From January of 2009 till May of 2009 I student taught in a 5th grade classroom at Aire Libre Elementary School in the Paradise Valley School District. I took over the responsibilities of the entire class by creating and teaching all lessons as well as grading and returning all papers. I have grown up wanting to be a teacher. I love children and I love teaching them. Being able to help a child learn something new that will stay with them for the rest of their lives is very rewarding. I strive to make sure that I am reaching every student in my classroom. In order to do that I believe that my school cu

I have always enjoyed teaching, whether it is to children or to adults. My approach has always been to keep a fun atmosphere while establishing control over the class; we can have fun but I am in charge and I will let you know when the line has been crossed. This kind of atmosphere, in my opinion, is optimal for learing. I believe I have the patience needed to teach and the desire to see children learn. A good teacher can make all the difference in a child's life and I have modeled my approach from teachers I have had from whom I have learned the most. After completing my college degree I went in to the finance world and then into Information Technologies. This allowed me exposure to a wide variety of skills and people. Along the way I have tutored students in English and some rudimentary math. Currently I am working towards my teaching certification and the most recent teaching expe

I believe that the possibilities of learning are incredible, especially with understanding the tools of both teaching and learning whether that is textbooks, computers, or something else. It is important to ascertain how a student learns, and adjust to them. I’ve discovered in my teaching of children that it is critical to create a foundation of understanding then build upon it through repetition of the basic ideals while adding to what is already established. Children are amazingly open to new ideas, and take on new challenges with excitement, so it is my job as instructor to guide them in their journey. I also feel that early learning is fundamental to the way individuals learn later in life, so helping children learn how to overcome obstacles becomes a way of expanding their educational possibilities. Throughout my higher educational career, I’ve been driven to learn as much as po

I enjoy teaching kids as it also gives me an opportunity to learn a lot from them. In a way by asking doubts they make me think in a different way thereby improving my skills also. I believe that each child has it in him/her to achieve great heights, and sometimes they require a tutor to give them the push to achieve it. I strongly believe that I can give the push they need and make them achieve their goals in life. As a Mechanical Engineering graduate, I have always been interested in learning the different concepts of mathematics used in the design of machines. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering which helped me in understanding many areas of maths and science. I also have a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Syracuse University which further advanced my goals.

My first teaching experience involved establishing a Title I Kindergarten classroom. Since that first few months of teaching, I have loved working with children at the kindergarten level and teaching them the basics of learning to read and prepare them for 1st grade. I have taken several classes from different universities in teaching reading and methods of teaching. I am a retired teacher, but continue to work with children through volunteer work. I love working with children and am able to communicate with most in a way that produces a secure and encouraging environment. I am patient, easy going, and respect each child's right to express himself in an appropriate way. I believe each child can learn if he is given the appropriate materials, methods, and teacher for his style of learning.

After earning my bachelor's degree in History and Political Science, I went on to complete the teacher's certification program through the University of Phoenix. I began teaching middle school Language Arts, Reading, Writing, and Social Studies at a small private school in Tucson, AZ in 2001. I have worked with students at various levels in all subject areas both as a teacher and as a tutor. I love children and believe that every child can learn. In my classroom, I provided a multitude of diverse learning experiences for my students - from experimentation to cooperative learning. I support the multiple intelligences theory and always attempted to accommodate students' various learning needs. For example, when finishing a novel, students were given options for completing a book project: traditional book report, building a model of a favorite scene and presenting it to the class, crea

My college experience and training has allowed me to get excellent insight into both of my majors. I have learned the language and culture of not only Germany but also ancient cultures. My various challenges along the way pushed me to achieve higher goals and led me to the completion of my two bachelor degrees, BA in German Studies and BA in Classical Civilization. From my anthropology classes I gained my experience in teaching freshmen, juniors and seniors from diverse backgrounds. I firmly believe i can tutor students in German and most humanities arts. From my previous teaching experience gained in college I believe that there is a delicate process, that requires patience and respect in teaching students. I am easy going and understandable and always provide encouragement. I believe in a hands on approach to teaching, which can make learning more fun for the students. My only hope i
