I would describe my teaching style as straight-forward, but constructive and rewarding. I believe patience is important and that small successes lead to larger ones. I understand that each student has different needs and learning styles vary, therefore I work to tailor my methods to the individual student while keeping the information plain to reduce confusion. I believe that teaching is about supporting students to reach their full potential and enrich their lives.
I began tutoring in elementary school. I tutored students in grades below mine in reading, spelling, grammar, math, and science. I continued tutoring fellow students in high school, as well as teaching children as a church volunteer. After studying the administration of justice and evidence technology at Phoenix College, I finished my BS at University of Phoenix. While earning my degree, I used the knowlege and s ... read more

I enjoyed all four years of my teaching. I taught fourth, fifth and Physical Education. Prior to that I substituted for two years as well. During substituting for three school districts, I worked with kindergarten through twelfth grade and special education students. Tutoring and mentoring students are my specialty. Mathematics, reading and writing are the areas that I have tutored the most in.
Positive reinforcement, motivation and encouragement are what I believe in. Finding the extra way to explain a task or principle is rather beneficial. Whether it is visual, hands on, auditory or applying to every day life, it just takes that special spark to light up a room. Seeing a child progress is quite remarkable!

A Little Bit About Me...

Presently, I am a part time adjunct instructor. As a superintendent and principal, I have observed 100’s of classrooms, and being around the best of teachers, I have a pretty good foundation of what good teaching is about. Rasmussen managers and students have also given me wonderful evaluations. It is so important that students are listened to, and it is also vital that classes are dynamic and interesting. Most years of my career was spent in elementary teaching, and in many of those years I served as a tutor. I was also a tutor at Rasmussen College. I have tutored and taught classes in both the special needs and gifted areas.
I have a lot of patience, especially patience to help students by carefully showing them their mistakes. Students learn best by listening and correcting errors -getting the correct result. Learning by doing and discovery fit into this scenario ... read more

I have a passion for education. I believe that children can learn without even knowing it! Children love to play games and I make teaching like a game for them, so they have a great time and they are learning. There is substantial information that suggests that children retain knowledge if they thoroughly understand it and if they are having fun learning it. I haven't met to many children that don't remember rules and the directions of how to play boardgames especially if they have a blast playing it! I know that every child wants to learn and I will strive to make sure that each and every child will have the opportunity to learn at their fullest potential.
As a Graduate student in Special Education, I have learned that there are many different ways to approach the English language. I have extensive experience in writing papers and the rules of the English language. I proof read m ... read more

In the last nine years, I have actively addressed the goals and available resources of diverse student populations. During college, I tutored through several organizations, including AVID, Hermanas Intimas, and the Ophelia Project. Later at San Francisco State University, I served as a Teaching Assistant for two semesters and two departments. Prior to these experiences, I have taught English, ESL, and EFL to native and non-native English speakers domestically as well as internationally. English was not my first language, and I use my own experiences with language and culture to communicate successfully with students from all backgrounds. Furthermore, I am very comfortable with online learning platforms as I have not only taken countless online courses but have also assisted professors in further developing and improving their online courses. I have experience with backend website support ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate student at ASU studying Education Administration. I have experience working with students of all ages 5-17. I currently work in a middle school and spend my weekends teaching life skills to troubled youth. I have taught for over 6 years and I plan to continue teaching for as long as I can. I enjoy working with children and sharing my passion for learning. I participate in ongoing professional development to be a better educator and I am always for looking for new ways of teaching children.
My teaching style is very hands-on, exploratory and structured. I expect my students to work hard, stay focused, and give effort. I can work with any skill level of student and I motivated to try different techniques to ensure they not only learn the material but also apply it. I believe all children can learn, but it is up to me to find what works for the individual.

With my background in the field of education, I have skills that I believe you will find helpful to you and your clients. My strongest asset is my foundational gift, which is the breakdown and sharing of information with my peers and clients, and also helping them to retrieve that information fluently enough to present it to others. I built my skill levels around my foundational gift by taking courses and workshops pertaining to computers, peer advising, peer educating, communication skills, tutoring skills, reading skills, study skills, and student/community leadership. I also have access to a wide variety of community resources to help my peers and clients overcome some of the hurdles they encounter while striving towards their individual goals and dreams. All this information has given me many tools that prove useful to the student and community population at large.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of a college known as the Ivy League of the South and a highly ranked business school, I am very driven to teach others to achieve success in their education experience. I have earned my bachelor degree in Accounting while working full time and later went back to school studying medicine. I am now a Tutor in several of the most frustrating and demanding subjects: Accounting, Calculus, Algebra, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology and Physics. I enjoy teaching and bring fun into all my lesson plans.
It is my goal to enhance learning to help your child get their homework done and for them to learn valuable skills along the way. I care about your child's frustration and boredom with homework and understand that success is built on minimizing distractions, breaking each problem down and creating a comfortable, quiet setting.

I believe that the possibilities of learning are incredible, especially with understanding the tools of both teaching and learning whether that is textbooks, computers, or something else. It is important to ascertain how a student learns, and adjust to them. I’ve discovered in my teaching of children that it is critical to create a foundation of understanding then build upon it through repetition of the basic ideals while adding to what is already established. Children are amazingly open to new ideas, and take on new challenges with excitement, so it is my job as instructor to guide them in their journey. I also feel that early learning is fundamental to the way individuals learn later in life, so helping children learn how to overcome obstacles becomes a way of expanding their educational possibilities.
Throughout my higher educational career, I’ve been driven to learn as much ... read more
