As a graduate student, I worked as an Academic Adviser for student-athletes at The University of Akron. I have worked tutoring at-risk students in a cooperative environment. My duties included supervising and leading study sessions, helping students plan and organize time effectively, as well as implementing study and test taking strategies. I like working with young people to challenge them to accomplish something they did not think was possible. I prefer to ask them questions and see what they can come up with. From there, I use my experiences and expertise to guide them through the learning process. I believe that all people have profound capabilities and potential if they just have the proper guidance and motivation.

I think teachers make a great difference in the life of students. I remember most of my grade school teachers and because of them I decided to pursue a career in the field of math and sciences. I love giving back to my community. I love working with children, and I want your child to be successful. I will help make your child understand that of education is important and why we study certain disciplines. They is no way to master problem solving but to practise asmany times as possible. Understanding of the subject matter is also key, especially in biology. My goal is to make studying and learning for your child a fun experience and something they can relate to in real life I graduated from the University of Akron with a degree in chemistry and alongside I had taken many biology classes as a prerequisite for pharmacy school.At UA I skip a couple of math and physics classes and got pla

As an Ivy league graduate, I was driven to acheive a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree in education and masters degree in education with a major in mathematics. I have also worked in the business field and am able to teach students today how to apply mathematics in the real world. Recently I have been teaching as a substitute teacher in 3 counties and I have been doing alot of tutoring as well. I am certified to teach secondary mathematics and social studies by the state of OHIO. I also enjoy teaching college students and tutoring on a weekly basis. I teach for the students to learn and to enjoy the learning process. I am satisfied when I see the students are able to grasp the concepts on their own and see how the application works. I have worked with a variety of children from kindergarten to high school and college levels. I am an educator who does

As a mother of three teenagers with distinctly different personalities and learning styles, I approach teaching in customized ways that help them open up rather than close down when faced with academic obstacles. I have refined that approach when working with other students, as well. I believe a positive attitude is contagious, so I initiate conversations which enable the student to express whatever knowledge they already have in a given subject. Then we build upon that base of understanding, filling in gaps with new knowledge, eventually reaching higher levels of comprehension and mastery of the subject. Along the way, the student gains stronger self-confidence; a vital ingredient in higher achievement. As a freelance writer and public relations specialist, I write for Air Shows magazine, The Villager newspaper, and online magazine Suite 101. My writing also appears in Front Row

I feel my style of teaching is one of being a facilitator. I choose to interact with the student by asking questions so enabling them to reach the answer through their own thinking processes. The excitement of seeing their confidence build as they realize they can figure out problems independently is the reward of being an educator. I believe my job is to guide and support the student. My teaching experience started teaching in a pre-school with 4 year olds. I then taught 3rd grade for 1 year and kindergarten for 9 years. When I updated my certificate (just in the last year) I did some teaching in a mildly handicapped resource room.

Teaching, or the best teachers, are required to have a certain undertanding that not just anyone has. I think teaching is a decision that demands patience, excitement, encouragement, care, and the love of making the best students possible. Constructivist approaches to learning and inquiry based teaching, appreciating multiple intelligences, and methods of learning, are all part of my approach to teaching. Students have interests that vary and their interests may very well round out their desire to learn. I strive to make sure to it that my students take away something to learn every time that I see them. As a driven student & business owner, I've had ownership stakes in different businesses. Educationally, I have had a natural love for mathematics (BS) & life sciences (short of minors in chemistry, physics, and biology). As my involvement in business increased while still in school,

I consider myself a very energetic, competent tutor who considers teaching an art. I enjoy working with students to help them achieve their full potential. In many situations, the main reason that students struggle in learning and grasping certain academic subjects is due to the fact that students suffer a major disconnect with the course textbook on the subject. I consider it my job to bridge the gap between what the text is trying to communicate and what the student is retaining from the text. In working to close this gap, I often create my own learning aids that a student can understand. I delight in seeing students become excited about a subject matter as their initial fear gives way to a whole new understanding of the subject. I have tutoring experience in mathematics at the secondary and high school levels. One example of tutoring at the secondary level was when I tutored an

While obtaining these degrees I also received a certificate in Technical Mathematics. During the past year I tutored students in math and accounting

While attaining my genetics degree at Ohio State, I worked at the OSU Chimpanzee Center. After graduating, I started working for the Department of Agriculture in the Weights and Measures division. It was my job to try to "trick" the scales before they could become available for commercial use. I moved back home to Coshocton when I got married. I quickly found a job teaching adults within our county's GED program. I easily became the math and science "guru" with my background and began getting my Masters in Education from Muskingum University. Now I train other adult education directors around the state how to improve their own adult education programs. I have spent the past three years focusing on the instruction of math and language. I enjoy teaching adults as well as high school students. I do not have much training teaching below junior high; however, I am confident that I could succe

I thoroughly enjoyed the Marketing and Public Relations field, but I never could have imagined the fulfillment I would recieve within education. I love to challenge my students and show them just how much they can achieve through hard work and dedication. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child's face when they achieve a good grade or positive praise. Each time I tutor a child, my day is brightened- how lucky am I!!?? After working in the Marketing/PR field for 5 years, I relocated to Puerto Rico to be with my husband. Not having a solid foundation of the language, I could not obtain a job in my previous field. It was at this time that I discovered the world of education. I began substitute teaching at the Department of Defense School and continued doing that for one year. We were then relocated to Savannah, GA and I was hired by a private school to teach 6th and 7th g
