Testing Strategies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Benton Ridge, OH

I see myself as a guide and a "project manager" for my students' learning, providing the support, advice, and tools that they need to achieve success. I believe that inquiry-based learning facilitates better retention and the development of a love of education that lasts a lifetime. Every student learns differently, but I believe everyone can learn and succeed. I am patient, considerate, friendly and helpful, and I am happy to adjust my teaching style to my students' needs and goals. I emphasize creativity, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills that extend beyond subject mastery to make a difference throughout my students' lives. I have a strong background in both science and the humanities. I am a National Merit scholar and hold a BS in Molecular/Cellular Biology and a BA in English from the University of Arizona, as well as a Master of Education (Secondary) from Arizona S

I am currently an intervention specialist for students in grades 5-8, specializing in reading content and reading strategies. Last year, I taught students in the fifth grade, focusing in the scholastic areas of mathematics, reading, language arts, science and social studies.I was assisting students in an inclusion setting with some pull out resource room interventions. This past summer, I was excited about the opportunity I have been given to expand my teaching experiences through working with students with learning, behavioral, and emotional disorders. I am currently highly qualified for grades K-12 in all academic subject areas; reading/language arts, math, science, and social studies. Through my teaching experiences, I have found the method of facilitating rather than dictating, to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. My teaching experiences have taught me that if students const

My teaching style is not typical since I am not a certified teacher. I am creative in my teaching style using a variety of techniques. I understand that each child and person learns differently (Auditory, Visual, Tactile) so I try to discover their style and incorporate as much as possible. I try to teach using real life experiences and examples. I break things down into simple parts before moving on to the next level. I believe that it is important to instill confidence in the student which raises expectations and increases motivation. I am very patient with a good sense of humor. I obtained my BA in Social Work and have worked in that field since 1993. In 2005 I began a part time job as an Adult Education instructor for Sentinel Career Center where my primary focus was language arts/writing. I was part of the STAR reading program where I became certified to teach adults to read. In thi

I feel the need for tutoring is the need to simply obtain information in a form that is different from the one presented in the classroom. As a tutor, I work to break things down into their constituent pieces and explain each of these pieces in turn. This is a more time-intensive method of instruction, of course, as the breaking down of information is totally dependent on the way it must be done for it to make sense to the student. Tutoring allows this method to be used, as one-on-one, this method is just as quick as the standard schoolroom methods. As a holder of a BS in Chemistry, I have a very strong grasp of science and mathematics, as well as a passion for the written word. I have volunteer experience tutoring my fellow students at Eastwood High School, out of which came two years' of summer tutoring for one of the individuals I helped while volunteering.

I am a life-long learner. I believe that everyone learns and take their learning style into consideration when developing lessons. My goal is that students learn the fundamental content of the courses I teach. But beyond that, I hope to foster critical thinking, facilitate the acquisition of life-long learning skills, prepare students to function effectively in an information economy, and develop problem-solving strategies for doing so. SUNY Potsdam instructors provided me the opportunity to learn about and earn a Master's in Education with a focus on Reading and a BS in English Writing and Elementary Education. This journey began with an Associates Degree in Commercial Art from Sullivan County Community College. These areas of study have enabled me to teach in New York and Ohio as: Reading Specialist K-3, H.S. Reading Substitute, Jr. High Reading teacher, college instructor teaching

As an MBA graduate I have consistently sought to continually improve and manage as many aspects of life that are presented to me. While achieving my BA in Philosophy I stretched my focus into the areas of science and mathematics, given my strengths in those areas. My MBA in Management facilitated the integration of my math and science skills into a practical system of approach and practice. My Calculus skills come in handy while everyone else is doing summations, I find integrals much faster. In addition to tutoring a variety of subjects from history and philosophy to statistics and calculus, I have also tutored students in English, Latin, writing, Geology, Chemistry, Geography, Biology, and Anthropology. I thoroughly love teaching as I come from a line of teachers myself. I have demonstrated that learning happens on multiple levels depending on what level one is working on. In my

Over the course of my career, I have taught at every grade level from four year old Head Start students to more than 11 years at a community college. I have a special understanding of non-traditional students and their learning challenges. I have taught English, Literature, Composition, Business Communications, writing and a variety of other subjects. I have tutored English as a Second Language (ESL) students from over 10 different countries. In addition, I have worked as a technical writer for a variety of businesses, writing everything from grants, proposals, training manuals, presentations and speeches. I love teaching and working with a variety of students. My teaching style is easy going and flexible because I believe each student learns best in their own way. There are no “cookie cutter” students or lesson plans. I feel the most important thing I can give a student is the de

Teaching is very subjective. Each individual learns according to his/her own style. What I find challenging and rewarding is to find that point where it “clicks”. I believe the best way to learn is through experience and discovery. As an example, I can describe the intelligence of an octopus. But until you actually see a video of one opening a jar for a treat, do you truly realize it as a thinking, planning being. I feel that teaching an individual how to use available resources is just as important as the actual subject. Enabling a student to go out and discover the wonders around him/her through research and education is a wonderful thing indeed. As an experienced Doctor and Teacher, I am dedicated to enabling individuals to set and attain life goals. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education with emphasis on Biological Sciences and Earth Sciences. I was a teacher in the publi

The 2009-2010 school year will be my third year as a substitute teacher. I have worked with all levels of students, from special needs elementary to AP high school courses, and in both urban and suburban districts. I had some training as an educator in college but have lots of real world experience as well. I have a deep understanding of research strategies and love all of the social sciences. I also am a parent to a third grader who recently tested into her school's gifted program and have plenty of experience supplementing curriculum to encourage the accelerated learner. I believe that no two students learn alike and the most important thing is to make sure students are having fun with learning. If learning is looked at as boring or hard students will try to avoid it, when learning is fun students learn without realising the work involved. I am willing to try a new tactic with ev

As a foster parent, I tutored our first child as he progressed through kindergarten and the first grade. His previous school experience was lacking at best, and he had little confidence in his scholastic ability. I was able to pinpoint his natural aptitude--mathematics--and use it to help not only boost his self-esteem regarding academics, but also to tailor my approach to his other subjects as well. Since math is very much tied to logic, using logical constructs to aid him in his critical thinking proved fruitful in showing him how to solve problems regarding tasks such as alphabetization, grammar, and spelling, among others. Each individual has a unique approach to critical thinking, and using that approach is the best way for that person to learn. I make every attempt to identify a person's perspective so as to shape my teaching for that person in the best possible way. Whether s

My teaching style is inclusive of the hands-on approach. I believe that all students should have equal access to education. While that doesn't hold true, in the classroom, I encourage and appreciate students whom voice their opinion on a regular basis. I believe that all students also have a different approach to learning, and thus, they must be approached differently with different methods. Some students are definitely visual learners, while others are auditory or kinesthetic learners. Thus, it is important to acknowledge and implement different techniques to involve all students learning styles. As a graduate of Miami University's College of Arts and Sciences with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and a thematic sequence in Macroeconomics, I have the intellectual acumen to accommodate different types of students. Currently, I am a substitute teacher for Maumee City Schools and

I have graduated with Honors from undergraduate school, from graduate school and presently holds a 3.79 GPA during the obtaining of my PhD. I have plans of having my PhD Degree conferred in the Fall of 2010. I have a passion for teaching and learning. My educational background has provided me with the opportunity to evaluate and assess learners; to understand where the application of time needs to be focused. The dissertation that I am writing on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences has given me the wisdom to understand all learners are intelligent in a specific manner. When a learner knows their greatest intelligence and best learning style, that gives them the advantge of learning. I have a teaching style that is inquisitive for the learner. The learner has to be analytical and straegic in their learning. As an instructor, I like to ask questions as well as give answers to students

I have tutored elementary level public and private school youth in various courses for 10 years. While my education focuses on criminal justice, my employment, training & volunteerism have enabled me to work with youth in a variety of settings. I am aware that educational success is greatly affected by cognitive ability. I’ve worked with school administrators regarding I.E.P.'s, 504 Plans, the progress of learning objectives, and addressing behavioral issues pertaining to learning to ensure proven academic development. Every youth has individual learning abilities and methods. The academic success of all youth depends greatly on the coordination of the service team to help in the achievement of their educational goals. I truly care about the success of each student’s ability to learn. My focus is on building the strengths of youth to supplement weaker areas. When tutoring, I use material
