Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Umatilla, OR

I was born to teach. I believe all children can meet their potential by discovering what their specific learning styles are. I see life through the eyes of a child. I have the ability to incorporate academic concepts through thematics units One of my strongest qualities as a teacher is being able to break down difficult concepts into small steps that students understand. I also understand the frustrations that many parents feel when trying to help their child. I am the mother of two special needs children. Having been a classroom teacher for thirty years I taught many children who faced many and varied challenges with their education. In addition to teaching children I have also taught workshops for teachers and parents. I have been an elementary teacher for more than 25 years; 10 of those years I taught gifted children. My teaching specialties include grant writing with children,

My experience with teaching and helping students involve my working as a art club teacher in an after school program. I worked for this program for about 2 years with students in second and third grade. In the class I taught I would encourage my students to try new things and to use their imagination. We did a variety of assignments including drawing, beading, needle work, various arts and crafts projects. This was a great experience for me and made me look forward to teaching more in the future. I have done commissioned work doing murals for a vineyard on their property for advertisement purposes. I also have a degree in Fine Arts with specialties in drawing and painting.

My teaching style is to listen to the student and let them try to work the problem out. If they can't figure the problem out, I give them a similar example to follow and let them use that problem as a model. There is normally a protocol or steps to follow in math. I lead them through the steps using that example. Then they go back to their original problem and normally can do it better. Other subjects require reading like history or economics. I ask them to go back and look more carefully at their reading if they can't get the answers to their questions. In English, I teach them grammar rules and the structure of the 5 paragraph essay. Academic Tutor: I assist students in learning their academics. Some are homeschooling where I help cover all subjects. Others are college students and cover one or two subjects.

I work well with students one on one. This setting gives me an opportunity to recognize individual needs. I am a caring, patient person who is considerate of other people’s feelings. I give constructive suggestions and refrain from belittling. I believe in a simple approach to writing. I often use outlines to help students stay on track and organize their thoughts. I help them cut out material that detracts from their message. I look at general themes and flow, as well as word choice and grammar. My goal is to help students make their work better, while still maintaining their individual style and ideas. I enjoy working with young children, teenagers and young adults. I enjoy helping students improve their writing skills. In college, I majored in print journalism. I was an editor at a student newspaper for about six months.

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

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 various grade levels and a broad range of content knowledge.During my undergraduate career I was lucky enough to be given a great foundation.I have been able to practice hands on what I had learned in the classroom and it has given me the confidence in my ability to be an educator. 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

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 assist them in improving their teaching practice. 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 studen

Since most accounting books involve a step-by-step approach, I would have to evaluate the student to see what appears to be the problem area in order to get a good solid foundation before continuing into the more difficult areas of accounting. A good mix of theory and problem solving is required for each student on an individual basis. Even though my students were in a vocational school many of them would continue on to college after completing my accounting course. From 2000-2004 I taught manual and computerized accounting at Kaplan voacational schools in South Texas.Apart form teaching students during the week, I would also hold tutoring sessions on Saturdays for any student who was having difficulty keeping up or had been ill. During the last few years I have taken continuing education courses in accounting online in order to keep up with the latest changes. One of the courses was th

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
