Growing up knowing that knowledge is power, it seemed as though anything was achievable. But as I began learning, I wondered why some things came easier to others and why some kids needed more type, and with this I began to investigate, I have learned different ways of conveying the same information in different styles. Everyone has the potential to learn information, it just depeneds on how they learn, and if everyone could be educated the difference in education with dramatically increase the world and peoples lifestyle would improve. Making an positive impact on the next generation, is the most important idea that can move our world forward.

I believe that mutual respect and understanding is fundamental to a student-teacher relationship. I take time to get to know my students, both to understand their personalities for the purpose of choosing a teaching style that would be more effective with them, as well as to let them know that I genuinely care about them and their success. Compassion, encouragement, and patience are three qualities that I believe are so important to removing the effective filter that a student creates within him/herself when he/she feels uncomfortable. Once that "wall" is removed then true learning and comprehension can take place and this is what I strive to do with each of my students. I graduated summa cum laude with my BA and MA in Italian linguistics and while that seems to be a degree that is not very marketable in the field of general tutoring, I have studied other subjects at the graduate leve

I like to laugh, have fun, and create a comfortable environment for individuals to learn. It is important to have that type of space so as to ensure that students do not form a sense of anxiety when entering the room or when studying that particular subject. I love creating a variety of activities: group, individual, hands-on, problem solving, comprehension and reading, and activities where students have to get up and move around. As long as concepts and terms are rehearsed and relearned students will be able to store it better than if they learned it once and then move on to the next concept. While attending UW-Whitewater I completed my Observation and Participation at Golda Meir in Milwaukee for 4th grade, completed my Field Study at Palmyra-Eagle High School for grades 9-12, and have just completed my Student Teaching at BlackHawk Middle School on Madison's East Side for 8th grade.

I am a true believer of rewards for excellence and this is how I teach. I believe every positive milestone should be marked and celebrated in some short way. I also am a firm believer in laying out the plan for overall growth with the student. I currently work with students in 3rd through 8th grade teaching music and spiritual gifts indentification classes. I have volunteered in classrooms of elementary age students during my college years. I worked with students one on one in these settings catching them up with the rest of their class on current projects.

I enjoy helping people find and understand information. When teaching, I like to encourage my students to find their own path and reasoning to the answer. I encourage supervised and structured trial and error where the student tries different methods to finding the answer. This nurtures the excitement of discovery and the joy of learning something new. First, I am a life long learner and love reading. I have a masters in Library Science and have worked for the past 2 years as a reference librarian where I frequently answered questions, worked with patrons one on one, taught ACT prep and computer classes.

I have sons ages 17 and 20, and continually took an active role in fostering their education. From the time they first set foot in kindergarten, through high school, I regularly volunteered, supporting their and the schools’ needs. I assisted in the classroom, chaperoned field trips, dances, etc., planned and participated at parties, special events and any role that could make a small difference. I am especially sensitive to the needs of students with disabilities, particularly those with ADD or similar issues. I not only have first-hand, personal experiences with the challenges faced, but have education focused toward disability studies, abnormal and child psychology and even juvenile delinquency. As a recent student, my online education used the most progressive and innovative resources available. The BS in Interdisciplinary Studies enabled me to become proficient in three, instead

I believe that learning can and should be fun so that students will want to continue learning throughout their life. It is fun to come up with innovative ways to help students remember and learn material. With patience and kindness, I strive to help them make the most of their abilities and talents. Seeing students achieve their goals brings me much joy and satisfaction. I am a graduate of Brigham Young University with a BA in English. Psychology and child development were part of my curriculum. When our children were all in school, I started substitute teaching K-12. I especially enjoyed working with K-5. I have worked as a substitute, permanent substitute and teaching assistant for about 13 years in the Concord School District (NH) and the Provo School District (UT). Some assignments were a few months long while teachers were recovering from surgery or illness. I had the opport

I have spent the last 10 years educating young adults in both high school and college. I have taught in brick and mortar schools and in online institutions. In both, I have worked with students who are strong, natural learners who just need help fine tuning their writing and processing their ideas. I have also worked with students who struggle with every aspect of English from the reading of literature to getting their thoughts down on paper. My own time in graduate school has helped me to develop my finesse with grammar, word choice, sentence structure and organization. It is these skills I hope to help develop in my students in respect to their writing, from the most basic writer to the most skilled writer. Teaching is my passion. Besides being a mother, it is the thing that most defines me. I believe that learning is innate in all individuals, but, if an individual lacks passi

I believe its the teachers responsibllity to understand how their students learn best and then help communicate the curriculum to them in a way that they will best uderstand and retain that knowledge. I was homeschooled for the majority of my education which enabled me to assit my younger brothers and sisters in their studies. I taught a few Science classes including botony and a study of birds and have tutored in highschool math as well. I played volleyball, took 3 years of piano, and was a member of Chior as well.
