Praxis Exam Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Waldorf, MD

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspi

If you need to get started right away and want results, then I am the right person. I use effective practices, strategies, and resources to inspire and enrich each student's learning. Direct instruction, workbooks, visual aids, computers, math manipulative, hands-on activities, mini-labs, student-centered discussions, one-on-one tutoring and small-group instruction are used to honor various learning styles, students' needs and goals, as well as to ensure they are active learners.

For over eight years I have extensively tutored all of the topics covered by the math section of the Praxis exam, including Praxis Core Math (5732) and Praxis Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects, Mathematics Subtest (5001/5003).

I have been teaching children younger than myself since I started teaching Sunday school classes and became a adolescent influence in my previous youth group. I new all along I was going to be a teacher. I have been tutoring my younger nephews since they are now in grade level courses. I have also had experience in the classroom as observing mentor teachers and assisting them in lesson plan creations. I will be enrolled in methods course this coming fall for my Elementary Education Professional Teaching program. I teach in the way of Scaffolding. I give the learner all the assistance they need until they no longer need it any more. I start by giving a lot of cues and help with each step. Then I slowly take the training wheels off and each time, I let them show me more and more what they can do with out the help. I hope to create leaders.

I am actually in the process with my students, their victories are my victories. I want my students to be proud of the work that they have done and the achievements that they have made. I give my students the information, I show them how to apply the information through modeling, I practice with them and then I release them to apply the technique themselves. Afterward I assign an project for an artifact that allows them through written words to translate their knowledge to another person. It is my goal to prepare them for life outside of the classroom, failure is not an option. I have a proven success rate in assisting my students in excelling on standardized tests. In the 2007-2008 school year my students achieved double digit gains on the MSAs (Middle School Assessments). Also during my experience I have moved basic and proficient students to advanced levels on the standardized

I truly enjoy working with all ages of students. I feel that one of the best ways to learn is to teach. Most of my lessons are built around the central idea of conversation and questioning. I find it very effective to lead the student to their answer through asking questions and making them teach the information to me. I am there as support for their discovery. I also use a lot of active learning. For younger students, I do my best to keep them engaged by movement, music, and using their hands. When students are actively involved, they not only increase their understanding, but also gain the chance of remembering the lesson and information. I strive to make learning fun and active for all ages. All of my work experience and higher education has been based around my passion for education.

I have also tooken graduate work in mathematic and math education. For the past eight years I have also work or volunteered as a personal math tutor. Teaching is something that is not meant for everyone. I am fortunate to say that my academic success is due to my ability to break down any material to a basic ideal and teach the materials in mutiple ways. The most important thing I do is make the material appeal to any individuals. Once these things are established, I believe student can effectivly learn and grow.

I have taught college writing and literature at the University of Maryland for the last two years while completing my M.A. in English Language and Literature, and I will continue to teach writing there this fall. I also did peer tutoring in English and Philosophy when I was an undergraduate. I believe that teaching should be as student-centered as possible. This means primarily two things. First, it means students should be as active in their education as possible. I see myself as a guide, who will teach students the skills they need to discover knowledge in the future, rather than as a provider of knowledge. Second, it means that I always take students interests, learning profiles, and abilities into account when planning lessons or tutoring sessions. More generally, I am a teacher who is extremely organized but also very creative with my lesson plans. Through making lessons interactive

love teaching irrespective of the monetary benefit.I strongly believe this is one of the profession you can achieve some mental satisfaction.Teaching never ends as the nature is globally developing and expanding in multiple direction .The most siginificant field is science and mathematics.So as a teacher too,you have to adapt the changes in your teaching style quite often,which suites to the best.However I do believe the teaching should be performed in a healthy and appropriate environment in which the teacher's contribution is very much involved.Teaching is a passion for me as most of my immediate relatives (18) are either professor or Teacher in this profession As an engineering graduate, with additional exposure in substitute teaching for 5 years in various Fairfax county schools,I was driven to high level of excellence in mathematics and Physics.During my internship-teaching,my men

As a graduate of The Ohio State University, I had a passion for closing the achievement gap that exists between minority students and their counterparts. Therefore,I chose to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in English and another Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. Therefore, I am able to provide my constituents with the pedagogy and the motivation to help them achieve their educational aspirations. Since I am a lifelong learner, I have also obtained my Master's in Education. I recognize that each child brings a certain type of diversity to their learning environment. This diversity ranges from their background knowledge, to their life experiences and ultimately their learning styles. After I create a learning style profile, I begin to create and implement strategies that will help students acquire and retain the skills that are necessary for them to master the subject area. I am very patient, o
