Experience Summary
I am a life long learner of many subjects including but not limited to English, mathematics, sciences & technology, and interpersonal communication. While my degree is in Religious studies, which gave me strong language and grammatical skills. I am driven by an insatiable curiosity to learn about many subjects. I spent much of my free time in college tutoring peers as well as my professors' children. I also continue to tutor my relatives who are local to Atlanta.
Teaching Style
I believe that to get what you want in life, you simply need to help as many people get want they want in life. I am a firm believer in the abundance mentality, and if I can help a student overcome their barriers to learning then I am giving of my skills to help someone get to where they want to be. AS far as actual teaching styles go, I am demonstrative when necessary but always aiming to be more of a delegator to allow for a student to become a "learner" themselves. I have included descriptions of both styles below for you to understand their applications.
Demonstrator or Personal Model
Teachers who have a demonstrator or personal model teaching style tend to run teacher-centred classes with an emphasis on demonstration and modeling. This type of teacher acts as a role model by demonstrating skills and processes and then as a coach/guide in helping students develop and apply these skills and knowledge.
A teacher with this type of teaching style might comment: "I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods."
Instructors with this teaching style are interested in encouraging student participation and adapting their presentation to include various learning styles. Students are expected to take some responsibility for learning what they need to know and for asking for help when they don't understand something.
Delegator
Teachers who have a delegator teaching style tend to place much control and responsibility for learning on individuals or groups of students.
This type of teacher will often give students a choice designing and implementing their own complex learning projects and will act in a consultative role.
Students are often asked to work independently or in groups and must be able to maintain motivation and focus for complex projects. Students working in this type of setting learn more than just course specific topics as they also must be able to effectively work in group situations and manage various interpersonal roles.
