Testing Strategies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Wadsworth, NV

I began tutoring my freshman year of college. I participated in a Sparks High School program designed to assist and motivate at risk students to achieve their educational goals. Tutoring continued through my own educational career, as I have spent countless hours assisting fellow peers and younger students with their school work. Now as a young professional, I would like to continue to assist today’s youth. My Law degree, along with my Bachelor of Science and Associate of Arts degrees in Business Management, shows my diverse expertise in both language arts and math. In addition, I highly enjoy science and have always excelled in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Most of my life has been focused on obtaining my education and improving my educational goals. I have a deep desire to assist others in reaching their full potential. I know that everyone learns in different ways, so my teac

My experience in tutoring computers for the last 6 years and facilitating study sessions in college for the last 4 years has refined my skills in directing absorption of knowledge in a direction that is organized and on-task. As an avid and trained grammarian and writer, my strengths are in English. As such, I was a paid tutor for Syntax, Principles of Modern Grammar, Phonology and Sociolinguistics classes over a few semesters. However, I am malleable to teach any subject to which I am exposed (astronomy, science, etc). You can always expect a professional approach to the job from me. A strength on which I have always prided myself is my ability to relate complex concepts with useful analogies and from different angles. I never underestimate a child's ability to learn something, so long as it's in a way in which they understand it. Curriculum development is also important. By that

I love to work with all children and college students. I believe that everyone can learn in his or her on way. I want your child to succeed and become better learners and get better grades. I believe in teaching with a calm voice and to be postive towards the students and not bashing. I believe that if a child or college student is motivated to work and become better he or she will be a better student and better in society. As a graduate of the University of Nevada Reno, I am driven to succeed in education. I have earned a bachelors degree in English writing, which has allowed me to understand many techniques in writing papers for different audiences. I also have a minor in Speech Communication which enables me to help students with speech writing and prepartion. Over the last year I tutored students at UNR in English composition and I am willing to expand my tutoring expertise to includ

I have earned a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in mining engineering which have given me a deep understanding in many areas of math, science and engineering. During my undergraduate and graduate education, I worked both as a research assistant and as a teaching assistant. In my role as a research assistant I was a member, and later a leader, of an interdisciplinary team of researchers. I gained extensive grammatical skills through my experience preparing research papers, laboratory reports and technical presentations. In addition to my research duties, I acted as a teaching assistant for three years during my education. For this position, I received training in teaching and tutoring styles. I was responsible for providing out-of-class tutoring on engineering topics which heavily involved the application of math and science concepts. I was also occasionally responsible

I have a friendly, encouraging approach with my students; I like them to feel comfortable working with me, but I also let them know that I have high expectations and that our tutoring sessions are not social time. My goal is to get students to understand the material and feel comfortable discussing and applying it, so my tutoring sessions are often very conversational. I provide a lot of feedback and will have students practice difficult concepts multiple times before moving on because I believe that practice is a key component to learning. I like to get to know my students and pinpoint their academic strengths and weaknesses so that together we can build on those things. I recently graduated from University of Nevada, Reno summa cum laude. I was also my high school valedictorian. I have always excelled in school because I love learning and have great organization and study skills. Alm

As an honors graduate, from SNC, I've always kept an open-mind, and creative perspective on ideas/methods of teaching and learning. I've earned my AA, BA, and Nv.Elementary Licensure for grades K-8 as of 2004. During the last decade I have been in the classroom as a student, and a teacher/tutor and my philosophy is to teach through the avenue/intelligence my students comprehend best,therefore their understanding of concepts and ideas become concrete so they can retain this information/knowlege and utilize it for further learning opportunities and experiences. Teaching and working with children is what I've always wanted to do-since I was 7 years old-I knew in my heart and soul-I would be a teacher! All children/students are intelligent and smart, in their own unique ways. I am kind, patient, courteous, ambitious, creative, and open-minded with a great imagination for creative teaching &

Currently, I am a senior at UNR nearing the completion of a nutrition-dietetics major and psychology minor. From a young age, I was driven to exceed academically, which have positively influenced my success in the classroom. Upon completing a rigorous high school schedule(Scholar's Program:detailed list of required AP/honors classes and greater than a 3.5 GPA), I was well prepared for college. I began tutoring in the 6th grade, focusing primarily on math related concepts. Throughout the years, I have continued to instruct various other grade levels in multiple subjects. Personally, I believe my two strongest subjects are math and writing. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially the satisfaction of watching a student that was previously struggling start to succeed as a result of your time and instruction.

I have knowledge of the various impedements to learning and am able to help a student overcome them. I believe all children can learn, you just need to be patient and understanding. I spent 3 years subsituting in the Sacramento USD system while I went to school for my credentials. I then taught in a pull-out RSP program in 4th and 5th grade ,1/2 time and a high school push-out RSP program the rest of the day. I have also taught 3rd grade. In the past I spent 3 years teaching driving and I have been a sales trainer. I home-schooled my daughter, and she is in college now with a 3.oo gpa.

As an MBA student, I constantly had to conduct research in challenging fields, write reports, train others and make appropriate recommendations. I have particularly enjoyed carrying on tasks that required teaching others, presenting personal research and challenging specific teaching styles. As a substitute teacher, I have developed my teaching skills and became able to adapt to the different educational level, schools, communities etc. From my professional experience, I learned to be a team leader, to focus on the delegated task, to prioritize and to reward results. I am a parent and I understand that educating our children is a priority. Although challenging, I particularly enjoy working with children, teaching them as well as learning from them. I believe that what makes me a good teacher is my ability to listen, understand a child's outlook on things and my constant focus on ch

I am a very understanding and considerate person and my teaching style reflects that. I have been counseling a week-long church camp in southern California for the past 5 years now and I absolutely love doing it. The ages are 9-12 and I look forward to it every year. I have also worked with older children when I worked at the Boy's and Girl's Club. I definitely believe a successful tutor can really change the life of a young adult by stressing the importance of education. Sometimes all it takes is hearing it from a different person in a different perspective. I am a recent graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno. I earned my BS in Finance through the College of Business Administration which enabled me to gain experience in different subjects such as math, economics, accounting, information systems, and marketing. I also used to tutor other, younger students when I was in high school.

I think that kids light up life and make it interesting. That's why I love working with them. I love the intellectual stimulation of the older age groups and the academic challenge they present. However, I love working with the younger kids as well, learning their fresh take on life and watching them learn HOW to learn is like watching life happen before your eyes. I think the most important concept for me, as a tutor, to remember, is to allow the student to arrive at the answer themselves. To get them to think, and by thus doing so, empower them to sharpen their skills and learn independently. I have experience tutoring anything from phonics to college level writing. I taught preschool for a year and a half at the Lion and Lamb Christian Preschool in Reno, NV. I have also tutored at the UNR Writing Center (when it still existed) during the Fall semester of '08.

I love working with students. As a teacher I enjoy the learning process and love watching the students discover new concepts and ideas. As as school counsleor I assisted students in working at their emotional and challenging behaviors. In both positions I strongly believe each student has the potential to learn. I teach to the different learn styles of my students. When I was working as a secretary I knew I wanted to further my education. I returned to school and completed my bachelor of science in education. As a classroom teacher I realized the many problems my students had to deal with. This prompted my to complete my master in school counseling. I have attended several workshops throughout my career to enchance my teaching and counseling methods with Reading, Writing and Grammar for students of any age.

As a tutor, I am professional and pleasant, well-organized and prepared. I explain concepts clearly and thoroughly. In tutoring sessions, with individuals or groups, I am empathetic and listen well. Early on, I will assess my student's strengths and areas for improvement--as well as interests and learning style. This helps me be even more effective in helping students progress. I am a patient and articulate tutor/teacher. I have truly enjoyed the many years I have helped my students. I am an award-winning educator, with 10+ years' experience teaching community college level English (095, 098, 101, 102) and Strategies for Academic Success. I also have 5 years' experience tutoring in study skills and all aspects of writing, including researched writing. I am excellent at teaching and love it, especially working one-on-one with students.

I have been working with children and adolescents in a variety of capacities for 20+ years. I truly enjoy their energy and their desire to be successful given the right encouragement and direction. For the past 4-5 years, I have been a substitute teacher and tutor for K-12, working with a culturally diverse mix, in the areas of math, English, science, health education, music, journalism, and theatre. I have received pictures, flowers and numerous other tangible "thank you's!" from parents and children and love this work! Given the right atmosphere, I honestly believe anyone can learn. Unfortunately, many individuals are given labels, especially regarding their learning capacity, and once that belief system is in place, the expectations are often lowered and self-esteem suffers.
