A Little Bit About Me...

I chose the field of chemistry because I have a strong love for the subject and want to have a career where I continue to learn new things.

I enjoy working with students and helping thin with their studies.

I believe children learn through experiences. I encourage children to work through what they are having difficulties with and guide them through the correct process. I believe just telling a child what to do doesn't actually give them an opportunity to process everything completely. That is why when I work with children I am patient and adjust the environment to each child's unique learning techniques.
I am a current student at UNLV earning my dual Bachelor degrees in Marketing and Health Care Administration. During my time as a student I have helped tutor my brother and friends in various subjects from English to Math. I have been able to develop my grammatical skills through extensive report and research papers and many communications and writing classes.

I firmly believe that all children have the ability to learn, and that each student has a their own, unique, learning style. My goal is to find which learning style the student responds to and then use that style in my tutoring. I am very patient, caring, and I enjoy teaching and assisting students. I feel that the students' success is also my success!
As a graduate from Brigham Young University in child psychology, I have had many experiences with tutoring all ages in math, English, writing, grammar, and study skills. I have worked most often with elementary level students and special education students.

My professional experience and educational experience have been intertwined for many years. As a laboratory technician, I not only learned how important accuracy and precision are when performing analyses, but I also learned how truly interesting science could be. That intrigue led me to supplementing my chemistry education with biological courses and changing my professional path to pharmaceutical research. Inherent in research, are aspects of imagination and novelty. Although oral and written communication skills are important in science, I am increasingly improving my communication skills as a substitute teacher and as a law school student.
I love children and I love being able to share my love of learning with them. Children want to learn and there is nothing better than seeing a child’s face light up when they “get it.” Even though I have science degrees, I have never f ... read more

Although each child has his or her own style of learning, I believe in bringing out their highest potential by feeding them with the kind of construcive criticism and positive reinforcement that motivates every young mind. I am patient, respectful and warm. My hope as a tutor is to help students learn more easily by providing them with essential tools they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. In my 20 + years as a student, I have become convinced that a great teacher is essential to bolstering confidence, passion and motivation to learn. I intend to inspire all three.

I am a professional educator with 32 years of teaching experience. I taught in the Utah Public School System for 31 years, and I am currently tutoring at a private school. At this private school I am called upon to tutor multiple subjects as well as develop curriculum for online programs. My teaching strengths are highlighted by skills in student management, individualized instruction and motivation. I am also an experienced coach.
My teaching style has developed over the years into one that enhances a new and innovative approach, often involving games, real-life simulations and multimedia. I work well with unmotivated students and embrace the challenge to help them develop strategies for coping with the demands of the classroom and life. I find myself drawn to the world of teaching as a means to help others and utilize my gregarious personality and creative talents.

A Little Bit About Me...

I look on teaching as a learning experience.I learn from my students, from their input and work on it, what I give is based on my student,s knowledge which I learn with patient effort.I start by letting the student tell me all thereby revealing his/her knowledge of the subject.Then I work to improve on their needs based on their knowledge.
While doing my Bachelor's in Economics I was tutoring at a nearby college. My subjects were English, Social studies, Biology and Chemistry. My recent tutoring experience involves my own children, both of whom I tutored in every subject up to the seventh grade. Except for Arithmetic, I still help my son in High School with other subjects.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy reading to children and helping them understand as well as enjoy the words. The proud faces they wear is a priceless reward, to the knowledge that they have accomplished learning. All children absorb information like sponges. It is up to educators (parents, teachers, tutors) to ensure that our children don't just learn to read. I want to ensure that they KNOW what the information means and how to apply to their present and future lives in becoming productive citizens in society.
I have earned an AA in Travel Management; a BA in Business; and an MBA in Human Resources. The knowledge I've gained through higher education is that education is continuous. It does not end when the last research paper or essay is submitted.

There are many teaching methods that stand behind my philosophy. I believe that remaining aware of the different ways in which children learn, and taking those learning styles into consideration throughout my lesson planning and delivery, is of great importance. The classroom environment is also very important. A healthy learning environment, where both my students and I can take risks, make mistakes and learn from one another, is key. My philosophy of education will keep on evolving as I gain teaching experience. I will add some new goals and revise others. Even as my philosophy undergoes change, I believe that my main goal will remain the same. My mission is to motivate students to become life-long learners, and help them acquire skills that will enable them to pursue independent learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is one of non-confrontational teaching. I have had professors who did that, and it only serves to put the student on edge and not lend itself to learning. I prefer to find out what the pupil is having trouble with and then see if I can find an interest in the concept for the student to make it relevant and help him retain the concepts involved. I like to interject humor and kidding and self deprecating comments to let the person know that he/she is not the only one having problems so the student doesn't feel devastated and hopeless. I like to reinforce the positive learning curve and support positive strides in learning and progress.
