I have been both in plays and worked as the stage crew. I have also directed numerous productions in an after school program. Some children just need a new way of looking at something to understand it. Children might also need just little more time to understand something that schools just don't have the time to give. I am patient, caring and I can think outside the box if a student needs a new way to look at a problem. -Over 2.5 years in Before and After school Program where we helped students with school work and put on plays during the summer. -About a year as a Teachers aid working almost exclusively with Students in Math. -I have worked with children ranging from 3 years old to twelve years old. -I spent 9 years working with students in many different areas.

I have experience teaching elementary Spanish, and two years experience tutoring high school and immigrant students. Additionally, I was a T.A. in college for Social Work classes. I attended a liberal arts college and had three majors, so I have experience with a variety of subjects. I have strong reading comprehension and grammatical skills, due to both English classes in high school and college. Prior to and during college, I was a volunteer teacher for 8 years at faith-based organizations. Finally, I have worked as a health educator for the past year, educating community members about secondhand smoke and tobacco prevention. I understand that all children have different abilities, and it is my goal to try to help children reach their full potential by really bringing out those abilities, as well as working on areas that might be weakest.

I am a very friendly and enthusiastic person. Nothing can bring me more joy than being around kids and impacting their lives in a positivie way. I know, from personal experience, that early childhood teachers have a huge impact in our future careers. I also believe that a great student is the reflection of their parents involvement. I just want to help other students as other great tutors and teachers once helped me. As a child I came to America speaking only Spanish. Thanks to the patience, care, and knowledge of great teachers and tutors I was able to become fluent in English by the time I was in 2nd grade. I would like to share my knowledge with other minority kids who have the dream of graduating from high school and continuing their education as I have been fortunate to do. I have volunteered, and was then offered a day care position at FLOC child care in Boulder, and I also

I always loved school and the whole education process, so when I started teaching I assumed that all of my students would feel the same way. But I quickly learned that school is not easy for everybody. What I found though, is that if you provide a fun, safe environment for kids to learn in, they will learn. And in turn, school will become easier. I believe school and learning is alot like life, you are most excited about things that are interesting to you. My goal as a teacher and tutor is to make the subject interesting to kids so they can get excited about it and ultimately, learn the subject. I have always enjoyed working with kids. I was fortunate to land a long-term substitute teaching position in a Special Education classroom for almost a year. I was responsible for teaching small groups of students with learning and behavioral disabilities, and basic reading and math skills

When you enter a classroom it is like entering a mixing bowl full of different ability levels, motivation levels, talent, and skill. It is the teacher’s job to address each one of their students as an individual to assess what their strengths and weaknesses are. I believe in data driven assessments, but also in getting to know a student personally. The students know what they are good and not good at. They will be honest most of the time if they are comfortable with you. I believe in differentiation to the highest degree and practiced this in my alternative high school experience every single day. It is not fair to bore some students with information they already know and overwhelm others to the point of lowering their self esteem. To address each skill level is to know your students personally and academically. I am a firm believer that it takes someone special to be a teacher. A good t

Teaching has become a big passion of mine, and I have taught people of all ages. Everyone learns in a different way--some visually, others verbally. I like to incorporate both into my teaching, by showing both you reinforce the topic and hit on both learn styles. After both a visual demonstration and verbal explanation I like to see the individual repeat what I just showed them. Learning anatomy is about constant repetition, and also having a solid understanding of the physiological processes involved. I am the type of teacher who likes to constantly be asking questions on previous material we covered, which is again repetition for the student. During my undergraduate career, I was privileged to enroll into the Physiology department in the College of Medicine at the University of Arizona. The University of Arizona is one of 10 schools throughout the country that offer the physiolog

I prefer an inductive approach to the teaching/learing event. Everyone can learn because everyone is learning constantly. Learning is exciting when it results in new insights and understanding about one's self and the world. I guide my students into discovery through the questions I ask of them. I can lecture when appropriate, giving new information as is helpful for the process, but mostly I guide the inner process of becoming aware of what one knows, assimilating new information, understanding what change that brings, and integrating the new into one's own mind and heart. It can mean leaving another way of thinking and knowing behind. This learning involves both the head and the heart. Coaching, teaching, preaching, and consulting all require a capacity to study.

My general teaching and learning philosophy is that every child has the potential for greatness, but that proper guidance and experiences are needed to reach full potential. Children are not just empty vessels waiting to be filled, but bring unique dimensions and experiences into any educational setting, which affect individual desire and motivation to learn and participate. The varied backgrounds of all children must be addressed and included in the curriculum to maximize each child’s learning potential and scholastic enjoyment. Even the youngest of children is constantly creating, adapting to, and analyzing his/her reality through active learning; thus any educational program should follow in this way. Educational programs should explore basic skills for successful daily living and future scholastic/life success, but should also allow for child interests to mold lessons and act

As a biology undergraduate at IOWA, I focused as much on how professors taught as I did on the content they were teaching. My interest is in meta-cognition and making sense of our world through unique tools of learning: reading, reason, art, music, language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in biology and certification to teach biology and science. I have taught and tutored students with emotional and learning disorders in all subjects, all grades. I am a creative and patient learner, which informs my teaching style. I enjoy meeting students of all ages at their level of understanding and meet easily the challenge of figuring out how to communicate in ways that make sense to the individual. My task as a teacher is, essentially, to believe in the student's ability to learn and to achieve their goals. I ask questions to engage inquiry: students think about their thinking, ask original

I have a gentle yet focused approach to learning. During my academic years I excelled in learning. As an undergraduate I conducted a thesis with four undergraduate assistants. I graduated with honors earning my BA in Psychology. As a drug prevention counselor I had the opportunity to work with children of different ages. I feel I could be of benefit to any child in need of assistance. I am looking forward to establishing strong roots in this community. My teaching style is very personal. I try to teach from experience. I relate to children and listen to their concerns while encouraging their individual growth. It is very important to listen and then make them aware of their choices and their responsibility for their choices. It is also important to set an example through my own actions. I enjoy learning and feel that my enthusiam can be contagious. I get along very well with childre

I think learning should be fun. If a student doesn't enjoy what she is doing, she won't likely attain mastery of the discipline. Moreover, I think students learn best by doing as opposed to being told what to do (i.e. practice as opposed to lecture and explanation). This means that I leave a lot of space for students to try things without fear of making mistakes. Evaluation (especially critical evaluation) is an important element in the later learning process, but initially the priorities should be placed upon fun, experimentation, praise, and lots and lots of practice. As a graduate student, I worked as a tutor in the campus Writing Center. Later, just before graduating, I taught Writing, ESL and GED at the Denver County Jail. Since completing my degree, I became a Writing and Critical Thinking Professor for two separate Universities (Metro State College and Devry University), where I'v

My approach to education is extremely individualized. My students have taught me that we all learn differently, and that success is always reachable with patience and persistence. I find that creativity and a variety of approaches to learning are the keys to making this success happen. I started tutoring as a result of my knowledge base and the needs of the young people I worked with. My first tutoring experience was with a young man who was studying pre-calculus. Since then, I have tutored in upper level mathematics, history and social studies, English composition, and basic sciences. I had a position as a history and social studies teacher for five years in a private school, and have also taught adult education and GED prep.
