I Have worked for the Davis County School district for 12 years. The last few years I have been working intervention for students who are not performing at grade level. I have learned that not all kids can learn the way they are taught in school. My 8 year old is dyslexic. I Have studied the Orton-Gilingham multisensory approach to reading and spelling. I have also learned to engage children in activities that are fun and creative. I will not be doing the same teaching style as there school. ORTON-Gilingham multi sensory approach. Math without words until the concept is mastered. Using lots of manipulatives including video games, that teach concepts.

I prefer sitting at the student's elbow, with the assigned work in between us, focusing on it together. I talk about "it" rather than "you" to avoid making the student self-conscious. Writing can always be improved, and each student has areas of strength and weakness. I try to pick one area that needs the most attention, and focus on it. When there is significant improvement, I move on to the next area of weakness. Pointing out all of a student's mistakes and weaknesses at once drains morale, and that is counterproductive. Working on one area at a time keeps the student from being overwhelmed. I like to have the student read out loud to me, so that we can both see what needs improvement. I also point out what was done correctly to boost confidence. Goals are important, as well as establishing a time frame for achieving them.

I have long had a love of learning, which has most recently expressed itself in my earning a BS in Psychology from Brigham Young University. This area of study gave me experience in the fields of math and writing, as I had to perform and analyze numerous psychological experiments, which includes performing statistical calculations as well as writing reports on findings. My teaching experience began in high school, where I tutored a girl in algebra. I also spent two years in Russia as a missionary, teaching people about my faith. While there, I also held weekly English language lessons open to the public. In college, I was also a Teaching Assistant, where I gained valuable experience when I had to fill in and teach class for the professor. I believe any child can learn the basics of any subject, but it requires that the teacher find a method of explanation that the child can understand. I

As I prepared for Medical School, I wanted to achieve the most possible out of my undergraduate experience at Brigham Young University. I chose Biology as my major, knowing that it would challenge me. I took several courses in Biology and Chemistry in which I performed very well. I understand how frustrating the concepts in these subjects can be, so patience is what is needed to grasp them. I have helped several fellow classmates comprehend the concepts needed to do well on their exams and retain the information for the future. I feel that repetition is one key that helps students grasp difficult concepts. I start by helping the student understand what the question is asking. Then I will do a problem step by step, showing the student what I am doing. Next, I will have the student do the same problem, but recreate the steps that I had shown them, guiding them along the way. After

I am a creative thinker who enjoys helping people learn new things. I graduated top of my class in Political Science and am currently pursing a degree in the field of counseling and therapy. Much of my experience centers in writing, math, and science. I have served as a researcher, research assistant, and teaching assistant in psychology, business, political science, and physics. I love teaching and working with teens wanting to understand a subject better in preparation for college. I believe everybody has their own individual learning style and am flexible in adapting my approach toward helping them effectively learn. I strive to make a difference in all of my student's lives.

As a student at UofU and BYU I tutored and was tutored myself. While attending BYU I worked in the student advisement center part-time, mentoring and helping students develop their schedules, and tutored them in subject matter from courses I'd already completed. I served as a volunteer representative for the LDS church for two years in Denmark and Iceland. I speak fluent Danish and Norwegian, and I taught extensively on many topics to all age groups while over there. I've tutored other students, friends, and family in math and math-related fields(up to calculus III level math). I excelled at Math and English composition in school. At my current job I train new team members in restaurant operations as well as handle restaurant finances. I currently work as a manager for Romano's Macaroni Grill in Provo, Murray, and Salt Lake.

I've never met a "stupid" student. I see all people as capable, as long as they are willing. I find it easy to get a student interested in a subject when they have usually been bored in class. I easily create metaphors and practical examples for application of the subject at hand so the student can personalize their studies. Once a student sees how the subject "fits" in their life, their interest level often changes. With a Master's degree in counseling, I have had various experience working with youth on a clinical level. Before going into counseling I was on track to become a high school math teacher. I have taken courses up through Calculus III and Number Theory. I feel very capable in this area. I also am an avid and good creative and technical writer. I have tutored students from elementary to college level in mathematics, English, writing, basic sciences, and other various humaniti

As a Biology student at Brigham Young University I was hired to be a tutor in the Life Sciences Learning Center. I tutored college students with a focus on introductory biology, molecular biology, and genetics. I developed a rapport with students and fostered a positive and welcoming learning environment. Last April I graduated from BYU with a BS in Biology, and regrettably had to leave my role as a tutor. I have six years of experience in teaching dance, including tap, jazz, ballet, and ballroom. Additionally, I have always been a strong student overall, and my previous coursework qualifies me to tutor chemistry, math, writing, Spanish, psychology, sociology, and several other subjects. As a tutor I strive to focus on the needs of each individual student. I find great fulfillment in getting to know each student on a personal basis, which allows me to develop trust and mutual respect.

I absolutely 100% believe that ALL children can learn! I believe that it is the teacher's responsibility to provide a healthy learning environment, one in which the student feels safe, secure, accepted and valued. I believe in self-fulfilling prophecies. If a child is encouraged to learn and knows that they can - they will. I feel very privileged to have had an opportunity to have created these types of situations for the students I have come in contact with. During my education experience at Northern Arizona University, I learned early on that I have a passion for education and for teaching. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree and graduated Summa Cum Laude at the top of my class. Through observing and student teaching experiences I learned techniques for teaching students science, English, math, reading, art and music. I also gained valuable grammatical skills through writing

Over the course of the last 10 years both in the workplace and earning a 4 year degree I have learned many important skills in the areas of math. reading, and writing. I have had to used these skills in research papers, class projects, creating reports for VP of companies, creating profit margins and so on. After rising 3 children of my own I have come to realize that children learn at their own rates. It is important to encourage and persuade children to grow their skills. Often if learning is made into fun games and puzzles the children respond positively and will want to learn more.

I was in the top 10% of my class at an elite college preparatory school and earned a BA in Economics from the University of Chicago. This has exposed me to great teachers and a variety of different teaching styles. I studied cello and piano formally for 7 and 10 years, respectively, and taught cello for 2 years. In high school I taught Adult English-as-a-Second Language classes for 2 years. I've also taught skiing and guided young children in after school art and literature programs for several years. My diverse education and experiences have led to my deep understanding of art, literature, history, math, science, and business. I have written numerous essays on art and literature, research papers, lab reports, and analytical reports. My rigorous education has given me substantial insight into the "total package" needed to learn and succeed at a high level. The ability to learn mat

Teaching is a unique experience that I enjoy thoroughly. I excel at one on one and small group teaching/tutoring, but am equally comfortable in front of 20 or 30 students as well. My patience and love of children is off the charts. I bring a lot of life experience and world travel to the table, so I can easily create an important bond with most students. My strength is inspiring students to learn not only with me but in all of life and to pursue their best in life. My life experience has been so rich, multi-cultural, international that I can easily come up with inspirational materials that will "light the fire within" any student. During my graduate year at San Diego State University in the School of Education I worked at one junior high school teaching U.S.History and one high school teaching an English class. The next year I subbed for the public schools in Steamboat Springs, Col
