When I teach, I try my best to be open minded, and to give choices to the student, rather than follow a closed-box cookie cutter curriculum. I've found it's important to find a personal way of learning for a specific student. Variety is important, because every child learns a little differently. Some kids learn by listening, others by seeing. Some kids learn only when they're making things. Encouragement and recognition when progress is attained by the student is a great incentive.
I'm currently a student in school who has had a wide range of experience in various different subjects, specifically working best with mathematics, science and language arts in the elementary and middle school level. I'm familiar with I've been doing my best to educate myself in as best as I can, not simply for the sole purpose of filling a resume, but for the sake of learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is usually a one-on-one approach beginning with material that is proven to be relatively easier for the student so that that we can establish an enjoyable,interactive approach. We will progress to the level that will take more "thinking" on the student's part. Challenges are also necessary. I have a quiet manner and recognize the importance of the student knowing what is being asked of him/her. My goal is to enhance "independent" thinking in my students. I understand the importance of each individual student's strengths and weaknesses and help the student to thrive on their strengths and continue to improve their weaknesseses. My goal is for all children to reach their potential.I love children, I love teaching!!!!!

My teaching style, derived from a one on one approach as both a home tutor and teaching assistant, is simple: provide an open environment in which pupils feel free to ask any question. The most important aspects of tutoring are positive reinforcement, repetition, and assisting students as they develop confidence and learn to grasp and utilize the skills necessary to their academic and personal development. I feel that my personal education and tutoring experience is perfectly suited to developing a rapport with students while maintaining a professional teacher/pupil relationship.
My experiences as a home school instructor for my children at the secondary level of education, as a personal tutor for SAT and GRE test preparation, and as a teaching assistant at the university level have provided me with the requisite skills to assist students at various levels of education.

A Little Bit About Me...

Over the years, I came to realize that things such as getting yourself in the student's shoe and understanding his/her environmnet is critical in customizing a teaching for that specific person. Some students like studying in a very fun environment while other may find it distracting. Therefore, developing a flexible approach has been helpful for me because I have been able to serve different types of students in various age range. I believe knowledge is essential for self-confidence; in this dynamic and competitive environment, we all have to keep our knowledge up-to-date.
I grew up in Cameroon, a former colony of France and Great Britain. French is the official language so, learning the language was critical to complete my education. I earned a BA in Business Administration and went to France to complete some courses in Accounting. My passion for sharing knowledge led me to teach ... read more

Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/solution/answers. If session doesn't find a promising beginning, start from a base and progress with them. Interaction prevents or indicates "going too fast" or overwhelming them--"the eyes" are engaged or indicate "shut-down". Making the math or education "mean something" provides a reason for learning or further developing the concepts. Encouragement and sincere compliments are very important. Sharing your own struggles or an "ah-huh" moment helps ease the role differences toward a comfortable, encouraging, learning relationship.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 provide. That way I know they are grasping the concepts. That is more important to me then speeding through a course just to get things done. I would be a failure if one of my students left my course not knowing exactly what they were doing. So I pride myself in slowing down if needed to ensure everyone is on the same page and can retain the information that is being taught to them.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I tutored for the Federal Way, WA campus of DeVry University from spring of 2007 to fall of 2008. I tutored students in English, multiple maths, programming, game design, logic, and test prep. I stopped tutoring to devote my time to the final project of my degree. Now I'm an independent video game developer tutoring to make "ends meet" while I'm working on my first commercial game project.
I present the information or concepts at hand in several different ways. I draw on the learners personal experiences to make the information or concepts relevant to them. I help the learner tie the information or concepts to their own knowledge base thus establishing ownership.
