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

I have a wide variety of experience, most of which comes from some sort of writing field. I was my high school newspaper editor, was my classes graduation speaker and am currently writing a book. I am also proficient in history, ranging from U.S. history, world history, politics, comparative government and more specifically war history. I am currently working on my nursing degree, having earned a certified nursing assistant license along with an emergency medical technician license. I have worked with many different students, ranging from middle school through college freshman. I like to have a positive reinforcement teaching style.

I tutored my way through 5 years of college. Most of that tutoring took place in drop-in learning centers at Blue Mountain Community College and Eastern Oregon University. In that time I have tutored every aspect of mathematics from remedial arithmetic to calculus and statistics, and won the 2009 EOU Award for Outstanding Academic Support. I have worked with high school teenagers while student-teaching in pursuit of a Master’s degree in education, but I learned that I am far more effective as a one-on-one troubleshooter than a classroom ringmaster. I am a troubleshooter. In my experience, there is usually one aspect of mathematics that a student has never been comfortable with, one aspect that poisons his or her interactions with all other facets of the subject. I begin by meeting a student on his or her own terms: we talk about the class and we go over the exercises that the studen

I received a teaching certificate in college through an internship in Buenos Aires where I taught English. At the University of Virginia, I tutored international graduate students. I worked with elementary children who had reading and behavioral difficulties through a volunteer program. I have tutored many children in French. I lived in France during high school, and have since then dedicated myself to languages. I received a BA in comparative literature which is a study of French and Spanish literature. I believe languages are full of life. Although grammar is important and necessary, it should not be stale. I think it is essential to maintain the vibrancy of a language with exciting materials, like magazines and games. I also listen carefully to the student to learn what they will find most interesting; a discussion of French cuisine, or Latin American tango? For children, I find usin

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, I do not hesitate to incorporate technology in the classroom, as this medium has become a very popular and powerful instrument of teaching and learning over the years when properly applied. It is certainly true that, often, a picture is worth a thousand words. In summary, I would like to think that I am more of a facilitator to my students than anything else. This evolving style has proven to be effective in both traditional and online classroom settings. 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

I will graduate this summer with a doctorate of arts in Mathematics. I have taught a total of 14 undergraduate-level mathematics courses in a broad range of subject ranging from developmental math to linear algebra. As an undergraduate, I worked part time in the Idaho State University tutoring center tutoring mathematics up to the calculus 3 level. I am a very energetic and interactive teacher. I am quite patient with my students and try to use many different techniques to allow for different learning styles. I find that I can effectively motivate my students and get them excited about math.
