Drawing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Touchet, WA

I have an M.A. in Sociology from San Diego State University and am currently employed at San Diego City College, where I have worked as an adjunct instructor of sociology for ten years. I have also taught at Grossmont College, Cuyamaca College, and San Diego State University. My courses cover topics such as introduction to sociology, sociology of the family and alternative lifestyles, and social issues (criminality, gender, etc). In addition, I have experience in related fields, having worked as an Overnight Counselor at Casa Pacifica, a 14-bed transitional residential treatment program for mentally ill adults in summer 2008. I prefer to use the Socratic method when teaching. It allows me to interact with my students, giving them autonomy and a sense of worth. I am sensible to their ideas -no matter how far fetched they may be at times- and always supportive in their approaches. Also

As a graduate from University of Idaho, I was very much driven to reach a higher level of excellence in education, leadership, and support of my peers. I have earned a BS in Chemistry, which has allowed me to gain an understanding in many levels of science, not only how in how to learn but how to adapt those lessons for others. During the last eight years, throughout high school and college, I have tutored students in Engineering, psychology, mathematics, chemistry and biology. While much of my tutoring and teaching came through the University, I was also the Inter Fraternal Council study table coordinator, which required finding a way to teach a lot of non-science majoring students as well. I love teaching and working with all students. I believe everyone can learn, no matter the difficulties faced in the past or present. I educate on the belief that because everyone is unique, everyo

My experience as a teacher has given me the opportunity to teach math, science, history, literature, reading and writing to a very diverse group of students. These students vary in development, both academically and socially, and I adjust my delivery of instruction to meet the needs of all. I continue to work with students who function above, on and below grade level expectations and together we meet or exceed the classroom teacher’s expectations. In following Constructivist methods of instruction, we use class discussion, open ended questions and cooperative learning to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive classroom atmosphere. In my instruction I apply research-based strategies, theories, new techniques, and modern methods of instruction. I put a lot of thought and work in to creating my lesson plans. This can be seen in the detail that I provide on each plan. I pay car

My teaching style is very distinctive to the students learning needs. I believe that the educator is a facilitator of the information and must be able to differentiate the instruction to the needs of the learner. I also believe that the educator must provide meaningful instruction and assessments to show the student their growth and gains throughout the teaching. Most importantly, providing a safe and excepting environment is my goal, fostering higher level thinking and progress in students. As a recent college graduate with my BA in elementary education I am highly motivated to provide learner centered tools to engage and motivate students. I have been able to incorporate these principles into my own classroom as a long term substitute in a 6th grade Language Arts and History class. During my experiences I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of learners, including; English

I am passionate about literacy! I believe that everyone has a different learning style and requires a teacher/tutor who can be flexible and adapt to his/her learning style. My goal as a teacher is to create lifelong learners who enjoy learning through a variety of hands-0n activites. Learning is fun and occurs through discovery and problem-solving.My job is to facilitate the learning process and allow the student to take control of his or her own learning. Holding a Master’s Degree in Literacy across the Content Areas, I truly believe that that every human being should have the right and opportunity to be able to read. In my years as a writer of curriculum and as an academic trainer, I have worked diligently to embed literacy strategies in every professional learning experience I create and present. In my most recent position as an ACP Supervisor, I coach and train teachers daily to assi

I have a passion for teaching and working with children to help them be successful. I always have the goal to make all the students I come into contact leave wanting to be life long learners. This doesn't go without saying that it is an easy task. It is a challenge I am prepared for. I like to know the goals of each student I am working with and their expectations of where they would like to be. I like to keep track of their work so they can look back and see how far they have progressed. Most people can’t recall their first days of school, but I can.While the fashions changed as I entered each grade, I was always filled excitement.It was equivalent to the feeling you get at Christmas, but better!The present you were getting on the warm August day was a new teacher, a new desk, and new friends. It is those same feelings that drew me to wanting to be an educator.I have experiences in vari
