As a manager and coach I have formally and informally trained employees within my unit and provided same to those interested outside my area. Many have said "you should have been a teacher" over the years but more lucrative pursuits were my focus. I have taken the time to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity to teach a financial literacy class to a prospective homeowner. My interest motivated me to attend the Financial Literacy Commission meeting in DC on May 27th at the US Treasury Builidng and it gave me ideas on how to merge my pet project-in-process of synthesizing a progran merging a 3rd grade math curriculum with a finanical literacy module that would help citizens making better financial choices. I think your program could help me crystalize those ideas in practice. As indicated above my teaching has not been in a formal setting. I practiced on the job by 1) knowing what I am talkin

After experiencing all types of teachers and professors over the course of my education, I've learned that a teacher can only leave a lasting and significant impression on a student by getting that student excited about the subject being spoken. I have learned from my best teachers that patience and being aware of how each individual student understands the subject matter are virtues. I have also learned that it is not helpful for a teacher to give answers or interpretations of the subject matter, but rather to guide a student through the subject matter, to teach them how to fully comprehend the subject matter for themselves. I think this is extremely important to good English skills and is the key to uncovering a passion for literature and creativity in a student. Since beginning my studies in the creative writing program at Purchase College in 2004, writing and literature have becom

I have a very unique teaching style in that I like to incorporate many different presentation methods and I am a firm believer of teaching to multiple intelligences. No two students learn the same way and if the student is not learning the teacher is just as responsible as the student. This being said I have used many different teaching methods from having the students performing, and singing to setting up shops to buy and sell products. If one method did not reach some of the students, I would go out of my way to create a lesson that involved these particular students. Multiple intelligences are ever so important because every student learns in a different. I have a range of experiences which help make me a superior candidate to tutor. I have lived and studied in Barcelona, Spain. During this experience I learned a lot about Spanish culture and brought my Spanish to a mastery level. I l
