I believe that it is most important to use materials and topics that are relevant and interesting to my students. If a student can connect to a topic or idea, they are one step closer to being competent readers and writers in that area. I utilize techniques and tools in the education field as well as creating materials that fit each individual child. I am a licensed educator with tutoring and teaching experience. -I have worked with at-risk 11th and 12th graders in an Ohio high school teaching Language Arts, English, Grammar and Reading and Comprehension including classical and young adult literature and researcher paper/essay writing. - I have tutored several young adults for the Ohio Graduation Test in reading and writing as well as general test taking preparation. - I spent over two years tutoring elementary school students in reading and comprehension through AmericaReads.

As a bilingual, internationally traveled persona, I have tutored students of all ages. From 1999-2003, I have served as a third grade Teacher's Aide focusing on on reading, memorization and basic math tutoring. Since 1999, I also have tutored middle, high school, and college students in pre-algebra, algebra, geography, computer skills, writing, and grammar. My master's degree has trained me in learning techniques. In my experience, a person needs to be confident in him/herself in order to succeed. Learning of scholastic material is two fold: personal and academic development. By understanding the manner in which the student comprehends new information, we then can build upon their foundation by removing the frustration and replacing it with confidence that will extend into their personal life as well.

I embrace teaching as an opportunity to inspire and empower. As a teacher, it is my goal to enhance learning as a transformative experience. Ideally, I want students to feel personally changed by their educational experience. Independent thought is essential to the development of each student. Being able to form unique independent ideas to solve problems will serve them both in and outside of the academic setting. A teacher should lead students in the direction they should go to reach correct conclusions and answers, without always providing the answers themselves. Finally, reinforcing concepts and learned ideas is essential. By using information, students should be able to apply what they have learned to real life situations. I am dedicated and outgoing individual who has been working in education for 3+ years. I am highly adaptable to many kind of learners. I have tutored English and

As a great advocate of education, I aim to offer my students with the best learning experience possible. For that reason, while tutoring in college, I started reading and learning about the many teaching styles used in schools. This helped me find my own teaching style that focuses on each student individually. I try to mix several teaching styles in order for the student to understand and feel comfortable with the material. However, based on my own personal experiences, the teaching style that provided the best results to my students was the demonstrator teaching style. I use audio, video, role playing, personal experiences, class discussions, brainstorming, critical thinking, and other direct observations to allow students to use all their senses in their learning experience. I try to plan my lessons and educational activities in a manner that tends to simplify and clearly represent th

With my level of collegiate expertise, I have always been the go to person when a question arose from friends, family, or other fellow classmates concerning help with an assignment. Having a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology Systems and an MBA in Executive Business Administration allows me to be pretty versatile when it comes to education related questions. I helped a friend with some high school and collegiate mathematics to graduate high school and assimilate into college. The duration of my assistance lasted a little over a year. I love helping others!! I feel that if an individual loves to help, aide, and teach others then the ability to teach comes naturally. I am patient, easy going, and willing to do what it takes to make sure that all concepts are understood before attempting to move forward.

My style is simple and direct. My experience suggests that all students can learn if the teacher can find some common interest point to get the ball rolling. My students are encouraged to be creative in their problem solving. I try to utilize as many age appropriate real life examples to make the learning more engaging and relevant to the subject at hand. As a lifelong learner, I took on the challenge to complete my Bachelors and Masters degree after working as a professional musician for 15 years. My earlier undergraduate work combined music with a broadcast journalism minor. I have used those skills to write, as well as produce music , videos and edit for television. As a classroom music teacher and administrator, I used computer technology and the arts to teach reading, writing and math. During the past seven years, I have been a community mentor who tutored school age students in Eng

The mastery of academic subjects should be a very personally meaningful experience. To educate is to deeply enrich. No teacher should embark on the journey of education with out truly wishing to equip his or her students with the tools they need for the present and future. As a teacher, I have the opportunity to facilitate social and academic growth that allows students to form meaningful connections between the subjects and their personal experiences. The standards I expect my students to achieve are set by the students' individual needs. The theories of developmental psychology direct my approach to helping students reach their full potential. I guide the improvement of their skills by encouraging them to build and refine their habits gradually. I also enhance their understanding of subject matter through scaffolding techniques that develop their schemas. My methods help students under

I enjoy the individuality of each student. One student may learn best visually, while another through kinesetics, each a valid learning style. Once a child can find their style they can confidence in their ability to learn. I believe each child can learn I just need to help them find the confidence to do so. I listen to past successes the child tells me about to see how that intersects with learning styles. I believe patience, listening, and perseverance are the tools that help the teacher help the student best. I rediscovered my joy for teaching in my Masters program achieving an M.A. in Theology and Popular Culture. I helped my friends build stronger research papers and better study habits. I have for the past two fall Semesters been teaching what I think are important skills for each person to acquire- reading, study and critical thinking skills. I think these skills help the st
