Most of my experience stems from my Bachelor of Arts degree at Wartburg College, Waverly, IA. As a Biology major, I have a good background in Life Sciences and Math. I have several study techniques that helped me succeed in college, as well as my current career as a Scientist Integrated DNA technologies in Coralville, IA. Some of my past experiences include working at a summer camp for two years as well as two years in an Emergency Room at a small hospital. I have learned to change and adapt to the needs of the person I am assisting and feel that, as a tutor, this could be a valuable asset.

I am a kinesthetic learner, so I enjoy teaching in a very approachable, hands on kind of way. I realize every student is not that kind of learner, however, yet I try to make learning the subject at hand enjoyable and something that will be remembered not just for a test, but for life, in the student. I have over 200 hours of classroom observation and teaching time. I have been an afterschool supervisor/leader at an inner city elementary school. I have also subsitute taught in a public school classroom. I was also the president of the TRIPLE E elementary education club at my college. I was also a leader at AWANA (a children's program). In addition to the classroom experience I have, I have also written numerous Units and/or lesson plans to teach in classrooms.

As a graduate from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire with a Bachelor of Science degree, I am a very organized and self-driven person. I have a Wisconsin and Arizona Teaching License. I have taught fourth grade for four years and have used multiple strategies to reach all of my learners. My teaching has been geared toward providing students with every opportunity to succeed. I have a strong passion to educate young minds and help them develop into well-rounded, respectful, and responsible individuals. Throughout the course of my teaching career, I have had numerous opportunities to teach diverse groups of students, including those with learning disabilities, those who perform at grade level, and those who are gifted/exceptional. As a result, I continually design creative and stimulating lesson plans, which accommodate the multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on approach to lear

Since my elementary years I've always been a student driven to succeed and pursue higher levels of education. Recently I've graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Civil Engineering which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. I can also speak and handle any questions in Spanish at an intermediate level. Furthermore, I served as a junior mentor in the CADS (Center for Alcohol and Drug Services) after school program, tutoring and leading the kids in organized fun. I love teaching and helping children pursue their dreams. I believe that all children can be successful if given the right time and role models. I am a friendly, patient, and easy going guy. I am willing to help any student in whichever way possible achieve and believe they can be successful.

As early as I can remember I have always wanted to have a degree that involved children. So i decided to go to college to become an Elementary School teacher. I graduated from Black Hawk College where I earned my associates degree. After completion of my associates I then transfered to Western Illinois University. I majored in Elementary Education K-9. After graduating in December of 2009 I started subbing in the Moline and Rock Island School Districts. After subbing I then took an 2010-1011 opening for a Resource Para in the Moline School District. I work with students in grades 1-3 at Butterworth Elementary. I would love to someday become a teacher and have my own classroom just like my husband. I love teaching and assisting children in all grade levels to succeed. I do believe that all children can learn, and that each child is different. I am very patient, kind, considerate, and ene

I'm a strong believer in the Gardner's ideas of many different learning styles and types of intelligent. Some students are better audio, tactile, or visual learners. I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to find the best learning style for each student and build on that format through scaffolding. I love nothing better than to see the light bulb go off in a students mind. This also helps them to realize that learning can be a fun adventure. I've been a special education teacher and held positions in resource and in self-contained rooms. I've taught students with learning problems in reading, math, and writing. I have also worked in the Lights on for Learning program and have been a home tutor for home bound students in the district.

During my undergraduate education I was very dedicated in pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education and completed a variety of experiences working with students. Last fall I worked as a student teacher in third grade. The 17 students in my class had a variety of socio-economic backgrounds, special needs, and multicultural differences which presented many unique challenges. After graduation I was asked to stay on at the school to work as a Positive Action Center (PAC) Facilitator. In this role I was able to work with students kindergarten through sixth grade on their various behavioral issues. After recently moving to the Quad City area I have been working as a para educator in the Davenport Community Public School District. Ever since I can remember I have been involved with teaching. I consider myself to be patient, understanding, compassionate, and at times,

What has allowed me to progress to a higher level of education is that I understand what is expected in the educational system. I am successful in school because I am familiar with the manner in which subjects are taught. Through my experiences in tutoring and mentoring, I have learned different teaching techniques. I understand that not everyone learns the same way, so I try to explain the material in different manners, show visuals when applicable, and give numerous examples. I find that people do better when you explain the subject material thoroughly and give clear instructions. When tutoring I have patience, and I do not immediately give away the correct answer, instead I allow students to think through concepts for themselves. As a graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology and minored in Chemistry, I receive

I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science. I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process.

I have previously worked as a shift supervisor at Starbucks, which has given me experience training, coaching, and delegating duties to other employees. This position has in turn helped me to understand different methods of coaching others, as it applies to varying degrees of learning styles. I also am currently working as a swim instructor at Blackhawk College, which also gives me practice and experience in teaching students of varying age groups and levels and also provides me with an opportunity to learn more about how to interact with students. In addition, I work as a substitute teacher, which in turn helps me to also learn varying degrees of learning and delegation styles. I enjoy working with students and co-workers on all levels, whether they have little or no experience. I know when to recognize different styles in learning and methods I can use to accomodate each different styl
