I recently graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting, which has enabled me to gain substantial knowledge in many areas of business and math. I also received a minor in Sociology. This minor helped me to build an understanding of social sciences, and also pushed me to want to reach out and help students in need. I have tutored fellow students in various accounting classes, oriented and trained fellow employees, and also served as a mentor for a young 3rd grader during my volunteer work with Big Brothers Big Sisters. For me, teaching is the most rewarding experience you could ask for. I love to teach, whether its an elementary student, high school student, or even someone in their college years. Patience is the most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring. Many people just keep talking a pushing when a stud

My experience as a teacher began in my Church, I taught for 3 years in one of our Sunday School classes. My students ranged in age from 2-11 years old. After graduation from the University of Washington I was unsure if Education was what I wanted to do. So I chose a different path, and found out just how much I loved to teach. I decided to take the certification exam for Reading and Elementary Education I passed the Reading exam and missed the Elem. Ed by 5 points. I decided to go into Adult education to see if it was for me. I began teaching communications at Bates in November of 2009, I now teach Interpersonal Communications and a Human Relations course. I just completed training to become a certified online instructor. I love to teach, and I believe my teaching style is very laid back. I like to allow my students to attempt things and try to figure it out with the information I provid

It is my experience that an instructor delivers more learning when a student has an interest in the subject. "Inspire rather than require," has far greater efficacy in delivering information. I tend to make it fun, interesting and encourage student participation and feedback. Reward, a basic human desire, engenders craving for learning. As each individual’s qualities are unique, I try to determine if one is a visual, auditory or tactile learner. Analogies often make good teaching aids. For example, if the subject were human circulatory systems, shining a light through a leaf reveals veins similar to our own and is more apt to draw the student into the subject. When appropriate, I ask the student to teach me. In graduate school, I developed a management style, Egalitarian Leadership. The faculty encouraged me to submit my paper to Harvard Business School. Currently, I am writing a

I am highly qualified to tutor in the areas of English/reading/writing. I currently volunteer at my son's school and assist children with assignments, I have created well written manuals and marketing materials for local businesses and have also written brief articles for the Herald newspaper. English has always come naturally to me and I've found writing to be a fun outlet for all of my energy and would love an opportunity to share my education and teach others. I am an outgoing, positive individual and this style comes across clearly when I work with children. I have a gift when it comes to making learning fun and rewarding. Much of a person's self esteem is derived from their accomplishments, therefore it is important to me that the children that I work with learn "how" to do the work, rather than someone giving up on teaching and doing it for them. I am very patient. If I have to exp

As an undergraduate Chemistry major, I was looking to make some extra money, as college students are generally quite poor. I am very good with finding various ways of helping others to understanding key concepts in a way that relates to each individual person. On campus, I became a highly recommended tutor for regular students as well as student-athletes. Tutoring sessions involved helping students to complete homework assignments, reviewing exams and quizzes, and exam/quiz preparation. Along with helping other students to learn and understand concepts of General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, Genetics, and Microeconomics, I gained insight into new ways to reach out to the minds of new clients that came to me for help. I simply enjoy helping others in general. Everyone has the ability to learn, as we are extremely curious beings that strive to always "want to kno

I then obtained my BA in Organizational Management and I am now in a local graduate degree program. Because of my heavy workload I was able to develop effective and efficient study methods. I have been tutoring, mentoring and coaching children, teens and adults for the past nine years with great success to them academically, socially and emotionally. I also have a great desire to teach adults and have tutored many in computer skills Specifically, I have tutored students in English (literature, grammar, writing, etc.), mathematics, science, and liberal arts.

I love helping and teaching children. I have given riding lessons to all ages of children for years, realizing there is no better feeling than helping children accomplish their goals. I would love to help children in any way I can to meet their academic goals, I know what it is like to have to study hard for what you want to accomplish. Being 25 I feel, and just being a graduate myself, I think can be a way to relate to the children and what they are trying to achieve. I would love to gain this type of experience and would really enjoy this type of work. I also have had a lot of psychology classes and feel that I am good at connecting with people and understanding the problems they are trying to get through. I just graduated from PLU with a degree in Business, a concentration in human resources, and a minor in psychology. I maintained a high GPA throughout my college experience and gradu

I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall department and organization. It has been my privilege to work with many bright, wonderful people who often didn't know "why they were doing what they were doing" or how important their role/work was to the whole. As a manager, I knew/know that 'you can only be as good as your people'. I love to see people succeed and come to believe in themselves and their abilities. I come from a long line of teachers and decided I didn't want to be another teacher--isn't if funny that I have most enjoyed the teacher/mentor role within work environments!
