I studied Political Science, Psychology, Literature, and Creative Writing at Boston University. I have extensive research experience and am a skilled editor and proofreader. High School AP exams are easy if you know your material! I took the exams in the following categories with scores of 4s and 5s: Literature, Psychology, Composition, European History, and American History. I tutored elementary students in math and reading for a community service program during my time in Boston and still edit research papers for friends and acquaintances. I approach teaching creatively and encourage a student's involvement when creating their lesson plans. My background in psychology provides a unique perspective on effective teaching techniques for different personality types. Everyone learns differently and teaching should reflect this principle.

As a graduate from SUNY Cortland, I was always interested in teaching young adults to exceed their expectations. I have earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education and tutored and written curriculum for over 15 years. I acheived my Master's Degree in 2007 in the field of reading, after seeing the growth of illiteracy, I decided I wanted to make a difference in the field of reading. I believe that children should not be taught with the expectations of failing. I go to the extreme, my students are taught by me to reach for the stars and go for the gusto. Every child has the ability to learn and as their teacher/tutor no matter how long it takes, I will get my future leaders of tomororw there.

My teaching style is adaptive. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn. The approach to learning is what makes the difference. Being a mother, I love children and am very patient. I also know that kids have their own distinct personalities and I address each child as an individual person, with their own talents and ideas. There is nothing better than when a person's face lights up, young or old, when they "get it." Knowing you have impacted a person, potentially for the rest of their life, is a reward in and of itself. The pay that comes attached to it is the bonus. Since graduating with my Chemistry degree in 1997, I have volunteered off and on within the classroom, mentoring and tutoring children of all ages. I have several younger siblings and children of my own, so I have taken the many opportunities to go in and out of the classroom as a classroom parent, after school program

I have more than 15 years experience in the public schools at both the elementary and high school levels. My experience entails working with students who have a variety of needs including learning differences, emotional needs, mental health issues and behavioral needs. I enjoy being with children, watching them progress and develop as they learn. There is nothing more satisfying than watching the joy of a child who masters a new task. Adolescents are my favorite people in the world. I connect easily with them. I honor every youth's abilities and strengths and help them work on their deficits with patience and respect. I believe firmly that each child can be engaged.

I have completed all courses for my Associates Degree and was a trainer at my previous position. When in high school, I was a college preparatory student and graduated with a high school Diploma as well as 12 Advanced Placement courses and completed my International Baccalaureate diploma. I love teaching all grades and levels. The most important aspect of teaching is to know your student. Each individual learns in different ways, some are tactile learners, some are visual, and some are auditory learners. Incorporating all aspects into my teaching style assists the retention of the material. It also has to be relatable to the student, so we have to use relevant examples that they understand. All children can learn any subject if you can spark their interest. There is no better feeling than seeing the light turn on and the sense of accomplishment in a child's eyes.

I have found a great place in teaching, especially tutoring, due to my desire to help other people. I enjoy walking students through new information and giving them a firm understanding of the concepts and facts. I believe that there is nothing outside of a students grasp. I present the information straight forward, then use analogies and metaphors to relate the information to the students on a different level, giving them a more solid comprehension of the material. Seeing the student not only succeed, but retain the information and a confidence over the knowledge is the most rewarding experience. I finished high school with a high aptitude for Math and Science. I enjoyed AP Calculus, Ap Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Advanced Chemistry. After a year as an Engineering Major, I decided to switch to Music Education. I have a degree in Music Education. In Arizona I received my

As a parent of two adult sons, I have had the opportunity to work with youngsters at all stages of their development. In addition, I have always been involved in various young activities including Little League baseball, cub scounts, youth soccer etc. I believe that setting a good example of appropriate behavior helps children to learn positive ways of accomplishing goals. As a substitute teacher, I must go into classrooms and establish a positive relationship with the class, interact with a number of different and unique personailities and engage them in such a way that learning can take place. I am currently a substitute teacher in the New Hanover County school system. I have 4+ years teaching in middle school and high school classes. I have prepared and taught classes during my previous career with the Federal Government to adults. My major in Biology gave me a strong backgr

For me, there's nothing better than seeing that light of understanding and excitement come over someone's face when they solve a problem (like math) or suddenly comprehend a subject they were having trouble with (like how to write a paper). And it doesn't matter what the age is; anyone can learn. I'm very patient, but I don't take nonsense from anyone either. They have to be as serious about learning as I am about teaching. My educational background (I’m an Ivy League grad), high levels of achievement, work experience, mentoring and teaching activities gave me the skills to be an effective tutor. As a senior employee, I mentored new employees. As a graduate teaching assistant, I worked with college students in helping them understand complex subjects. At my daughter’s elementary school, I worked with students on improving their reading skills. My strongest skill set is in English compreh

I earned my BA in Political Science and graduated from one of the best state schools in the United States, then went to law school and graduated near the top of my class. Both degrees involved large and complex amounts of reading and writing as well as excellent study habits. For the past five years as part of my job I taught reading and writing to individuals with developmental disabilities. I am the eldest of six children and tutored my brothers and sisters from kindergarten to 11th grade in all school subjects. I truly enjoy passing my knowledge on to other people. I am very patient. Before every lesson I review past lessons to ensure we are not building a castle on sand. I pass on to the student the ability to convey his acquired knowledge under test conditions. I try to make a difference in each student’s life. I hope to leave the student satisfied and happy at the end of ea

I prefer to maintain an open dialogue with students to identify key areas of weakness in understandings and study methods. I teach historical studies within a narrative to maintain the continuity and relevance of the information. I excel at finding ways to increase a student's retention of material. I am well-equipped to accommodate students with learning disabilities and varied backgrounds in education. I believe in setting clear goals for progress. I always aim to expand a student's general understanding of the world to help them process a broader range of information. I feel that it is just as important for a student to learn his subject as it is for that student to learn to research and teach themselves. I began my tutoring experience as a high school senior under the supervision of school's principal. This experience was primarily to help students with English composition and spoken

I am graduating from the University of NC Wilmington with a BS in Chemistry and minor in mathematics in May of 2010. I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education, since i came from a third world country where education is not available. so my experience and bachelor degree enable me to gain the understanding in many areas of math and science. Coming to this country and be able to go to school is very important for me, and i found it very difficult seeing many children not able to go to school because they have not motivation,even if they have the opportunity to go to school and be what they want.I believe education is very import in the 21st century and everybody should go to school and learning new experience and explore the different opportunity available for them, so i would like to help students learn about the value of education and help them gain the kn
