I enjoy teaching and working with children. I understand that all children are different and learn in different ways. Because of this I try to tailor my teaching to the individual needs of the student. This, I have found through experience, allows the child to attain his or her maximum educational potential. I strive to offer a positive learning environment for my students. Criticism is always constructive and directed toward academic improvement. It is important to me that the child believes that he or she can succeed. I graduated in 2006 summa cum-laude from Midwestern State University with a 4.0 grade average, majoring in Biology and minoring in English. I have a detailed academic understanding of both chemistry and biology on many levels. Additionally, writing dozens of papers for both scientific and humanities courses has given me essential grammatical skills necessary for writing h

I love working with children, and helping them learn. Throughout my academic career I have mentored children of various ages, and helped the child with academic problem areas. One mentoring relationship was spent reading and working with the child on reading to improve thier skills. My teaching style would be a hands-on approach. I believe that the success rate of learning is higher when the child is able to learn while doing an activity. Learning should be fun and altered to fit the needs of the child.

My teaching style involves getting to know the student as a person first and going from there. Learning how he/she learns something new and what he/she knows and doesn't know quite yet. Every child is different in the way that he/she learns and a person how to figure that out first for a child to be successful. I tutored elementary students while in high school. I am now an Education major at Midwestern State University and I will graduate in May of 2010. At my last job I helped tutor students and get them ready for test and quizzes etc. I enjoy working with kids I can't think of anything better to do with my time.

Since the age of six I have studied classical piano, recently finishing my piano studies at the bachelors degree level. I am currently finishing a general education science course and will receive my official diploma in August. I have taught many students from home as well as in a studio at a local music shop, on campus, and at churches. Teaching and accompanying soloists; instrumentalists, vocalists,choirs, and bands have been most of my work experience since graduating highschool six years ago. I minored in business management and believe that music teachers should act professionally and respectfully just as any other business person. My teaching style is very much one of observation and tailoring lessons to fit the student best. I typically use one series of method books, but sometimes choose other repertoire outside of the curriculum in order to best teach the student in the area th

My personal philosophy embraces ownership, one of the top ingredients for successful learning. Personal ownership creates a more perceptive learning process. Students will be more willing to maintain their learning as they proceed throughout the year. Another way ownership makes a big academic difference is through motivation. Ownership will also create self-confidence. A good teacher demonstrates faith in their ability to achieve simply by making them part of the process. When asking them ‘what do you think;’ their participation will increase and they will better remember the facts being taught. In conclusion, students with ownership have optimized their academics, productivity, and self-esteem. After obtaining a Masters of Science with a Minor in Education, teaching has become my life pursuit. Even when working for a large Biotech firm, I have tutored for one year in public sch

I have a bachelor degree in History with a minor in Sociology. I also took many English, Government, Geography, Literature, and Spanish classes in college. I learned grammar and puncuation skills from the many research papers and essays, as well as research skills needed for those projects. I was a long-term substitute for fifth grade social studies this spring and in addition I have substituted for 2 months. I love to share my passion of history and learning with others, whether it be adults or children. Every child can learn and I am determined to find the best way to help your child reach their full potential. I want to make learning fun and interesting and hopefully by making it fun and interesting, your child will not only learn the material, but also retain the information.

I have a very fair, effective teaching style that envelopes the idea of the entire classroom as a teaching tool. Using every method to reach every child at his or her own level. When I teach, I feel I am contributing and learning at the same time, this gives me a great feeling of worth. This attitude of worth and self-respect penetrates each student and increases their desire to excel. Grades is not everything attitude, loyalty and trust. Grades improve with effort and to do that the student must choose to want that better grade. I provide the atmosphere for them to do so. Currently, I have been teaching Emergency Medicine to help Reynolds Army Community Hospital maintain 100% proficiency in job qualifications and standards. This includes slides and instructor led courses. I have taught in English in a School to a classroom size of about 30 students in Korea for about 6 months. This requ

I find it most rewarding and helpful to get to know the student and parents. This provides the assistance needed to develop the proper rapport and educational needs of the student ensuring parents stay involved. Interaction is a required form of instruction for any student so to understand and establish the roles of teacher and student. I truly believe that the confidence displayed while teaching will evidently be welcomed with receiving minds. One act of assurance can open a wide door of possibilities and recognized achievements. Making a difference is accepting we are all alike in different ways and education is universal survival. I want to help and wanting better is the first step to better. I currently hold a BA in Psychology with a minor in Business Administration. In previous positions interpersonal, written and verbal communication, diversity, and professional skills have strengt
