I am firm believer in dynamic education, where each student is considered individually from every single point of stand. Each child/student is unique, and because of that he/she may have a different way of learning. I believe I am able to adjust to a student's learning preference, and make the teaching experience fun and effective. In my teaching strategy key steps would be: understanding the child's need, taking the time, using various tools to show different approaches to the problem, and finally show the child the importance of education, as well as implication of it in the real world! As a student in a four year college, I have applied myself to every singe subject that there was to conquer. In some areas I shined, but it some areas I had difficulties. But at the end of the day I was learning from the best and took in all that I could, in order to continue my education, pass on the k

As an English major, I spent all 4 years at my private instutition tutoring my fellow students, not only in English and writing courses, but in all academic classes in which I had received a grade of "A" or "B". 3 of my 4 years at Lindsey Wilson were spent in the Education department, as I originally wanted to be a high school English teacher. I also spent several summers as a Camp Counselor, working with children aged 7-15 as well. I like to determine my teaching style by first evaluating a child's current progress and learning style. Learning is a very individualized process, therefore, teaching must also be individual. I am a relaxed person, and I like to find a way to relate material to a child in a way that he/she will not only understand, but retain. Flash cards are great for some children, and other children will learn better with a pneumonic device, while still other learners

Throughout my career, from tutor to high school teacher to entrepreneur, I have learned how to effectively convey new material to students in many ways (based on Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences), to draw on students’ background knowledge and interest areas in order to teach new material, to be patient with students who do not “get it” on the first try, and to allow students to succeed and grow at their own pace. It is my nature and philosophy to look for the best in students and to do whatever is necessary to help them perform to their fullest potential. Overall, my educational and personal experiences have prepared me well to be an educator and a lifelong learner. In May 1997, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Lake Superior State University with a major in English Language and Literature and a minor in French Language and Literature. In May 1998, I graduated from Michig

In 1984 and 1985, I taught for two years in the Lebanon, OH, Christian School, grades 4,5, & 6. For the past 10 years I have been teaching in the Weekend Degree Program at Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH. I am an adjunct professor in the Theology Department and teach Theological Foundations to non-traditional students. Besides teaching principles of faith and religion and world religions, I emphasize the art of dialogue as a way to communicate and to interact with others - actually, as a lifestyle. I simply ADORE teaching, either children or adults. The 4th, 5th & 6th graders I taught in Lebanon Christian school loved and learned from me. I was successful in making their learning material interesting and learnable. The class I teach at XU is one of the most popular classes in the Weekend Degree Program. As I said above, I emphasize the art of dialogue, which includes above a

I earned my mechanical engineering degree from The Ohio State University and worked as an engineer and a manager in a scientific field for over 20 years before starting my own business in information research. Throughout my life, I have naturally gravitated to a teacher/mentor role because of my ability to help children and adults learn new concepts. I have experience assisting children in math and science and in giving music lessons. As a parent of middle school students, I understand the importance of motivating students by using real world examples and providing hands-on experiences. I enjoy working one-one-one with students, learning their strengths, and using those to have fun and make meaningful progress on the curriculum. Because of my professional background, I believe in basing study on solid principles such as methodology, repetition, and use of the scientific method to he

I am very down to earth and like to take things seriously. I think most people respond the best to positive reinforcement; however, I know how to be serious. I am very good at explaining things because I like to have things explained to me in detail. I am very professional and polite and am good at making people feel comfortable around me. For me, education is very important and it is important to stay on top of the game. In order to do this you need to make it enjoyable for the student by giving them realistic goals, positive feedback and meaningful explanations. I would make a great tutor because I am still a student myself. I am in my last semester of law school and hold a BA in English. I have been a student my entire adult life and have a good grasp on many subjects. I am very down to earth and friendly and love working with children of all ages. I am not fluent in French b

I love to teach, and I love helping students understand concepts they might otherwise find difficult. I believe every student is capable of success, and I am committed to helping them succeed. I love to find out my student's interests and use those to help them learn. I use a variety of movement, songs, chants, and gestures when appropriate to aid in language learning. I feel that my teaching philosophies, interpersonal skills, organizational skills, flexibility, professionalism, and Spanish language proficiency will serve your students well. I hold a major in Spanish and Elementary education and a master's degree in TESOL and intercultural studies from Wheaton College. I currently hold my Illinois teaching certificate with bilingual, ESL, Spanish (middle school), and language arts (middle school) endorsements.

Teachers must find methods of reaching the minds of students. I am very much an encourager of natural talents and inclinations along the way to skilled demonstration of those talents and inclinations. I set a high standard and encourage students to exceed my expectations. Usually they do. Taught science and history in private schools; managed a private piano studio in Virginia and Kentucky. I've been a non profit director for many years. Additionally I've served as a church organist in three states, including Kentucky, Virginia and texas.

Gaining and sharing knowledge has been a driving force throughout my life. Literacy is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children. Having taught grade levels from preschool to adulthood, I know that everyone learns in their own unique manner and at their own time. My experiences span not only various age groups but different subjects as well,including math, algebra, biology, history, literature, Spanish, grammar, reading/phonics, study skills, and beginning dance. I have taught in the classroom for 11 years and tutored for over 20 years. I match my teaching style to the learning style of each individual. My first session with the student is when I can determine whether their learning style is visual, audial, tactile, kinesthetic or a combination of these. I then write a prescription of study with the student that include several objectives and a timeline to achieve these g
