Throughout my academic career, I have acquired many useful study skills from different schools and teachers. I have various way of taking notes and remembering formulas and criteria. I believe proper studying is the way to pull honor roll GPA's. The only thing I cannot provide is proper sleep and a snack to keep their brain fueled and energized. I prefer hands on teaching, but I like to remain flexible to the individuals learning style. Depending on the topics covered, we read, write, and do hands-on activities to keep the brain stimulated. Sometimes if applicable, and with parental consent, we would do art projects and maybe watch an educational film (that the parent has approved of course). For sciences and social studies I really like the idea of field trips, but everything will be permitted by the parental figures first. These field trips usually include going to parks and obs

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. 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.

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. I believe in positive encouragement and support, while working through difficulties with a 'can do' attitude on

I am a registered Professional Civil Engineer and have worked managing construction projects around the world. I am proficient in math and english and enjoy showing others how to improve their lives through education. Albeit I have not taught in a school system, I have taught my own three children in our own home school. I really like children and love seeing the light go on when they finally comprehend the area of study that has been troubling them. I want children to learn to think for themselves in problem solving, not just go through the steps to get to an answer. Learning can and should be fun.

I emphasize meaning in my instructional style. Rather than, say, inculcate a formula for comma us, I try to convey how comma use provides meaningful structure to an idea, i.e. the sentence. In the larger sphere of things, I believe in showing a student how a piece of literature--which may well include his or her own writing--is meaningful to himself. When this is accomplished, I have found that the "meaning" of the work provides the necessary impetus to motivate the student. As academic success is so inextricably linked with qualities such as interest and pertinacity, I emphasize the root cause: meaning. I am a valedictorian candidate, graduating with a degree in English. My background in English is both technical, focusing on classics in British and early American literature, while my position as editor of the Sierra Nevada Review, an annual publication of poetry, affords me a crea

I love to help one-on-one! I have three graduate degrees with one in the field of teaching. I have taught and tutored learners from nursery school up through the college level. Originally, I majored in special education and especially love working with children. I like to build on student's individual strengths, to enhance their self-confidence and empower them to make discoveries on their own. I realize how much learning, and one's experience of learning, can impact an individual in the present and in the future. I aim to provoke curiosity and joy in this lifelong journey.

I love helping others learn and grow and achieve! I especially enjoy seeing the glow on a child's face as they realize they "get it" - they have conquered and overcome some hurdle or difficulty. The same is basically true with adults. I really enjoy helping them get the report or information they need from an application. It is so liberating for them to know they can find what they need (or want) on their own. I have been preparing and conducting adult coursework for a variety of computer - based applications and software for 15 or more years. The courses were done in large lecture environments (30 or more at a time) and also small or individuals sessions, and remote (phone and web-ex) deliveries. I am experienced in assessing group attitude and individual needs and am told that I am very adept at putting my "students" at ease, both through delivery style and in customizing and b

I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge and expertise with children as well as adults very much. I have a high degree of patience and respect for students that have been intrusted to me to further their education. I am very easy going and flexible and realize that every person learns at a different pace. I embrace these differences and believe that I am an effective teacher to every type of learner. I recieved what I believe was an excellent education from the University of Colorado. Although my major was pharmacy, and I am indeed a registered Pharmacist, I have many years of education in the areas of chemistry, biology ad anatomy. I have never formally tutored students professionally, but I have informally tutored pharmacy technicians in the preparation for their state certification exam.
