As a daughter of a college professor, I was raised to respect education and its many benefits. I have earned two degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in English and a Masters of Nursing. Both of these degrees has enabled me to gain an understanding in the humanities and in the social and life sciences. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to my college Writing courses, due to writing research papers and care plans, and due to writing free-lance for the newspaper of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. During the last 12 years, I have tutored freshmen college students in writing, and I have taught a fourth grade religion class, natural family planning to young adults, and a reproductive health class to young teenage mothers. I enjoy teaching, especially with children ages 12 and older. I believe that all children have the ability to learn if they are

My most recent experiences have shown me that encouragement is central is assisting the students in their learning. Providing them with the confidence in their own comprehension and understanding is key to striking the fires of a passion for life-long learning. To aid the student in grasping the material, I look for new methods of explanation and teaching. Someone recently described me as an "educator" - a high compliment that caused me to realize that I strive to provide the tools for a student to learn beyond my instruction. This is the manner in which I work with any learner - aid them to discover and expand for life. I am fervently earnest in pursuing a career assisting students in their learning. With experience working at the elementary through high school levels, I have a diverse background with much to offer. Throughout my years of experience, I have had the opportunity to

My first love has always been teaching and working with students of all ages. I believe in meeting students where they are at in their academic performance, adapting to their individual learning styles, while finding creative ways to engage them in the learning process. My goal is to instill the love of learning in each student, so that lifelong academic success becomes a natural attribute and skill. I believe in hands-on learning and in making instructional material meaningful in the here and now. I abide by the 3 C’s in my teaching: creativity, compassion, and competence. I strive to ensue that my students are proficient, confident, and accomplished in their academic area of study. As a veteran educator with over 25 years of experience, my career began oversees in Guam teaching middle school English Language Arts and Reading.

My job is not simply to impart information but to help students develop confidence in a learning style that is unique to that individual. I initially encourage students to describe their level of current understanding of the subject, then ask questions that connect subject matter ideas; every learner has some level of existing knowledge, however rudimentary. Therefore it is my job to be first and foremost an avid observer and listener. This method builds the foundation on what the student already knows, but may not recognize. Perhaps the most valuable characteristic of my style is my enthusiasm not only for a scientific understanding of nature, but also for the enjoyment of learning. A valuable approach to not knowing something is to learn how to ask good questions. When we begin to appreciate learning not as a goal but a journey, then it becomes more enjoyable and greater motivation

Throughout my high school career I have been devoted to academic success of my fellow classmates as well as my self. I continued this attitude in the accomplishment of achieving a BS degree in biology. Along the way of my academic success I have acquired multiple skills in every subject that has added to my love of learning and discovering. Over a fifteen year period I have used the knowledge that I have obtained to aid in others in their own pursuit of academic achievement. I take the necessary time to learn the behavior and learning ability of the child in order to customize a teaching style that will be most beneficial. I believe that the most effective type of relationship between a teacher and a student is friendship to reduce any anxieties that may otherwise hinder the child’s progress. I am calm, well mannered, kind and devoted to the success of others. Teachers should be firm but

I received an honors degree from Fairborn High School and Wright State University. Education has always been very important to me. While attending WSU for fine arts, I was reminded of my passion for teaching and decided to also acquire my art education certification. During my education program, I was placed in Xenia High School. I was also selected by the art education advisor as one of four students to take part in an innovative teaching class where I learned how to use art and music to teach science and math. I helped design and co-teach an art/math/music lesson to a 6th grade math class in Dayton Public Schools. I understand that some children respond to teaching styles that others do not. I am patient and encouraging. I am trained to use innovative teaching techniques to help students better understand and remember challenging subjects. My fine art background allows me to be

I have taught as a tutor in High School, and college. I also taught in the adult education system of Fairborn, Ohio. I have acted as a group home monitor for MR/DD adults. I am presently tutoring a young adult in cost control and algebra. I tailor my teaching style to the student. I first evaluate where the student is by building rapport, discussing the problem he/she is having, talking to the teacher, and talking to the parents. I then begin focusing on the area where the student is having difficulties. It may be that the student requires help with homework as well as review of fundamentals. I address both areas, always encouraging the student.

I am an educator of over 15 years. My area of expertise is English/Language Arts and my primary audience over much of my teaching career has been average to advanced students in grades 7-12. I have, however, successfully taught elementary school students and members of the "at-risk" population. In addition to being a classroom teacher, I have served as a Lead teacher, Acting Principal, teacher mentor, resource teacher, workshop facilitator and more. As an added, I am a fiction novelist who has penned five books. I am also the owner and operator of an independently run publishing company. I am a teacher who believes that children are only limited by their mindset. If it is truly a child's desire to learn, he will. Children choose to fail. My job as an educator is to make it difficult for a child to choose to fail. My lessons are typically innovative and evoke intrinsic motivation.

I am currently a graduate student at Wright State University majoring in English Literature. I am also a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) for the English Department and have developed a deep admiration for working closely with students. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) for the English Department I have been afforded the opportunity to instruct English 101 and 102 classes. Teaching these courses has given me a great deal of practical experience within the classroom and working with individual students. These experiences have provided the best kind of preparation one might hope for prior to embarking upon a career in this (or any other) field. I believe in allowing students the room to direct their own learning. Students who believe that they play an important role in their own education find a deeper level of satisfaction and pride both in their abilities and in their studies.

I am very dynamic personable adult who loves to laugh, but also knows how to get down to business and get work done. I think it is very important to not only feed information to your student, but also to create a relationship them. This helps the student to feel comfortable so they can ask questions, even those they may feel to be stupid. I have been able to teach non-technical elderly adults computers and teens that had no interest in religion by creating a relaxed atmosphere and attempting to make the subjects interesting, relevant and fun. I believe one of the keys of effective teaching is making things as interactive as possible, trying to get students to teach themselves as we proactively guide them through subjects. I have been teaching for 25 years. Most of my teaching was in religious settings working with teens, but I have also tutored younger children with school studies in af
