My experience includes teaching as an adjunct faculty at the Community College Level and as a Teaching assistantship during my masters and PhD studies. I also have taken Preparing Future Faculty Courses during my Phd work to improve my teaching skills. I have taught a diverse student body at the community college level. At the university level, I have taught labs with multiple sections and labs with only one section. My teaching philosophy has definitely evolved since my first teaching experience as a Teaching Assistant as a Masters Student at the University of Kentucky. I think I was very surprised to discover that teaching is not as easy as it looks, which is when I gained an appreciation for good teachers with effective teaching methods. My various teaching opportunities have led me to view education as a teaching-learning process whereby both me, as an instructor, and the studen

Genuine, personal interest in the child; establishing rapport; establishing the student's mastery level, then building from there (instead of an arbitrary line which creates anxiety); affirmation of every step of progress/success; recognition but careful use of errors in non-judgmental, constructive correction; ease in backing up for review when needed; positive verbal and behavioral reinforcement to the student, including reports to parents about same, all these are things that come to mind. I have been recognized for being able to communicate and teach behaviorally-disabled and -challenged students. I think this is because of my many years as a minister. I am nonplussed by lack of cooperation, and seem able to penetrate quickly past the veil of insecurity that causes some students not to cooperate with adults. I believe I offer more, therefore, than mere subject expertise: I bel

I convey to each student a never give up attitude and show confidence in their ability to understand the material. Each problem will be explained to the student and I will encourage every student to ask questions. After the student gains confidence in working problems together then I will have the student work a similar problem by themselves to confirm their level of understanding. After the student works the problem I will go over it and correct any mistakes in their work . I have an engineering background with a BS and Masters degree in Electrical Engineering. An engineering degree requires a significant background in math and science. While in college I had such a love for math that I took math classes as electives and became a math tutor for college math. My most recent experience is that of an Instructor in math and science.

I am passionate about teaching the natural sciences to students and others who wish to learn. I have been in situations in both my undergraduate and graduate experiences were I have had to mentor and provide assistance to students in a number of ways, including tutoring. These experiences have developed me into a patient and understanding person, which is how I would describe my teaching style.I understand the difficulties that students may face when trying to grasp difficult concepts and that some students may require more time in order to comprehend these concepts, especially scientific concepts. I am dedicated, when teaching, to ensuring that the student understand the concept that I am teaching and its application. For the past two years I have been employed as a Graduate Assistant at Morehead State University. My responsibilities as a graduate assistant included the preparation of l

As a former academic scholarship student at Western Kentucky University, I have a keen understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level even under immense stress. Learning mathematics generally requires assistance from outside sources as it is not the easiest subject to understand. In the past, I tutored other college students with LDS in Math and German. I am very comfortable with all the major foundations of Chemistry including General, Organic, and Physical Chemistry. This includes both theoretical and lab work. I am also well versed in the English language, History, and Drama. I work best with individuals who are self-motivated and determined to succeed. I am the kind of teacher who responds to questions with questions. I understand that a lot of students are just looking for a sufficient answer, but this will not help them understand the material when they are required

I use the scientific method of teaching. My style is Socratic. I believe, as Rene Descartes did before me, that human knowledge is innate, including our ability to learn and use language. I teach children to learn by given them the tools they need to think logically and abstractly. Life is dynamic, what happens today, will likely change tomorrow. I believe that children need to understand that there are consequences for their actions. The scientific method is a great way of learning cause and effect. Few of us are fortunate enough to learn from others talking. Most of us learn by doing. That is my method. I have a very diverse background range from English to science. My jobs require me to understand complex topics so that I can convert them into concepts that are understandable by lay audiences. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Humanities. I am finishing my Master of Science in Entomolog

Most recently I acted as an education director for a franchise tutoring company and spent a portion of everyday working directly with the students and meeting with parents to discuss their progress. In my professional career I focus primarily on Elementary and Middle School children and have a strong affinity to working with any child with Special Needs. My teaching skills lie primarily in English (grammar, writing, phonics) and History (Social Studies.I am also adept at working with young children in both math and science. I believe in developing a holistic attitude towards each child and catering an individualized program based on their unique needs. Some children may truly only need help grasping a certain concept, but another may need help with homework, test anxiety or poor study habits. I h

A child must learn to read fluently with the ability to comprehend information from texts. The basics of mathematics must be set in place so that more abstract ideas may be taught. Along with these two components, a student needs to acquire the ability to write thoughts, information, and facts confidently. Instruction should be student centered and address all intelligences.. It is critical to be aware that children learn in many different ways. Text book learning gives application, but it is also important to include a variety of teaching techniques in the curriculum to maximize knowledge, retention, and practicality.It is critical to incorporate , experiments, inquiries, role play, and virtual field trips into the instruction.
