I have worked with children ages 5 and up for a few years now. I have 3 siblings all 8 years or more younger than me, and have had lots of experience with children in elementary school. I have tutored middle school students after hours, and have worked with Special Needs children throughout my summers and within my school. I find most children at young ages are visual learners, but I am easily adjustable to many teaching styles to fit the students needs.

over 6 hrs college coursework completed in different genres of lit as well as a few minor lit awards and continuing self taught student of lit I've either taught or tutored in some form or fashion for over 17yrs now. I've had ages 3yrs to 22yrs old covering all manner of subjects and hobbies. One of my most rewarding experience was with an 18 year old special needs 10th grader ready to drop out of school. We met 2-3x a week for 6mths. In that time he raised his GPA from 1.2 to 2.7. He completed his 10th grade year and went on to take and pass the G.E.D. the following year. I would describe my teaching style as dynamic, creative student-centered

I am convinced that for students to succeed in their education and in life they must have a firm foundation in reading and writing. Without mastering these basics it is nearly impossible for them to move on to a higher learning level. It is my desire to not just improve test scores, but to inculcate a passion for literature, reading and history. I believe that learning should be fun and that a teacher's enthusiasm and energy and excitement with the curriculum are critical to motivating students to learn. Additionally, as a teacher, I am committed to remaining current with any new, progressive learning strategies, teaching methods and resources, and the latest technologies, that would advance the learning experience. I am that highly qualified professional who is prepared to take on the challenging and yet rewarding position as a teacher of English or Social Studies. I am a mature stude

I graduated in 2006 summa cum-laude from Midwestern State University with a 4.0 grade average, majoring in Biology and minoring in English. I have a detailed academic understanding of both chemistry and biology on many levels. Additionally, writing dozens of papers for both scientific and humanities courses has given me essential grammatical skills necessary for writing higher level essays. Since I graduated I have tutored math, science, English, and writing in the Wichita Falls public school system and for a private tutoring company. I enjoy teaching and working with children. I understand that all children are different and learn in different ways. Because of this I try to tailor my teaching to the individual needs of the student. This, I have found through experience, allows the child to attain his or her maximum educational potential. I strive to offer a positive learning environment

For almost twenty years, I’ve worked with students as a K-12 as a tutor, coordinator, counselor, and advocate in a variety of educational environments. I am committed to the belief that achieving a good education is the most viable way for students to become productive citizens.

My educational focus was Psychology and Philosophy, alone with writing intensive courses and I am also a twice-published fiction writer and a published poet.

My teaching style involves getting to know the student as a person first and going from there. Learning how he/she learns something new and what he/she knows and doesn't know quite yet. Every child is different in the way that he/she learns and a person how to figure that out first for a child to be successful. I tutored elementary students while in high school. I am now an Education major at Midwestern State University and I will graduate in May of 2010. At my last job I helped tutor students and get them ready for test and quizzes etc. I enjoy working with kids I can't think of anything better to do with my time.

A high school math, English, web-design, and business educator since 2002, Jeff has been selected by Frisco ISD to tutor high school students who are homebound due to illness or injury. He enjoys this one-on-one approach to education and shares his love of learning and achievement with all of his students and tutoring clients. Previously, Jeff was a corporate trainer and program facilitator as well as an adventure travel instructor specializing in rock climbing, inline skating, and camping. Jeff declined an invitation to enroll at Johns Hopkins University in 7th grade, and is glad he did. Otherwise, he'd be a bigger nerd than he already is! Learning is more accessible, more meaningful, and more memorable when it happens in a fun, but results-driven environment. I believe that the content has to be relevant to the student to be meaningful, and I use my diverse work experience to demo

My whole life I have had a love of education. I look forward to sharing this love with students and teaching them that learning need not be something to be feared. I am a very adaptable teacher who can easily modify my teaching to work for a variety of learners. My style uses a constructivist approach in which all students are viewed as unique individuals and are expected to take an active role in their education. Most importantly to me, I embrace mistakes and help my students to understand that mistakes as simply part of the learning process and not a dead end. I truly believe that I can make a positive difference in these students' lives through tutoring and I look forward to the challenge. Despite a demanding, accelerated academic schedule, during my three years at a competitive private college I voluntarily tutored underprivileged elementary students. In earning my BA in Sociology/

At the school I help enrich the science department with movies, flash cards, outside actives, and plays. I tutored reading, and writing for the state of Arizona. I was also approved to teach math in Arizona. I have learned most people achieve best in a fun and interactive environment. Learning games, role modeling, flash cards, art, and music are a few tools that are used.
