I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences. I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized throug

I describe myself as a "kid magnet". I do this because no matter where I go and what I do children are attracted to me. I interact with children in ways that few other adults can. The children sense that I am very loving, caring, and inquisitive about learning. They know that I understand them. I adjust my teaching style to accommodate what they need to learn as well as the rate at which they understand and apply what they have learned. I know that each child has an untapped potential to learn and that it is up to me in the tutoring situation, to discover this potential and then show them what they have to offer. I have taught in the primary grades on and off for over 14 years. During this time I have taken courses to improve my teaching style as well as learning how to adjust to each child's learning style. I have taken time off from teaching to explore other business adventures. It has

Music / Piano Instructor: With 34 years of experience teaching piano and leading musical groups, I have a wide range of exposure to various learning styles which has required flexibility in the development of my pedagogical approach. French: Building on a foundation of 4 years of high school French, I spent 10 years of living/working in French-speaking Europe. Research writing: I have been writing at a high academic level throughout my educational career, including a liberal arts education at the BS level and further specializations in Sociology, culminating in a Masters in European Studies at a university in Dublin, Ireland. My main goal in teaching is to connect personally with the student in a professional manner which enables mutual respect and trust to be built. This kind of teacher-student relationship allows for the best atmosphere in which a student can learn. My first ta

In my professional life, I have worked in sales, business development as well as management. In education, my areas of study have been: psychology, interpersonal communication, western civilization, literature and writing, as well as ancient languages, including: Hebrew and Koine Greek.

I am an experienced, passionate, and creative educator with a strong work ethic and communication skills. With over ten years of experience, in various capacities working with students in grades K-12, I am highly motivated and own a very positive attitude. I possess a deep commitment for excellence in the classroom and a strong belief in the value, importance, and individuality of each student. That belief fosters a dedication to try and bring out the best in each and every student I serve. Teaching at a large, high-performing public high school, I had the opportunity to teach a variety of social science courses. With over four years of in-class and tutoring experience, I obtained extensive knowledge in helping students with their overall writing and test preparation skills. I am very comfortable tutoring both within and outside my past teaching arenas.

I have a gentle yet focused approach to learning. During my academic years I excelled in learning. As an undergraduate I conducted a thesis with four undergraduate assistants. I graduated with honors earning my BA in Psychology. As a drug prevention counselor I had the opportunity to work with children of different ages. I feel I could be of benefit to any child in need of assistance. I am looking forward to establishing strong roots in this community. My teaching style is very personal. I try to teach from experience. I relate to children and listen to their concerns while encouraging their individual growth. It is very important to listen and then make them aware of their choices and their responsibility for their choices. It is also important to set an example through my own actions. I enjoy learning and feel that my enthusiam can be contagious. I get along very well with childre

I love teaching because I love learning. I understand that people learn in different ways, and part of what I find most interesting as a teacher is to look at a problem from different perspectives to find the solution that will make the most sense to a particular student. I look for ways to make the subject accessible to the child, and furthermore, I try to draw connections to the child's life and interests to make the subject matter feel more relevant. I am enthusiastic and patient and determined to see a student not only get a grasp on the subject matter, but to feel more confidence in him or herself. While my formal education lends itself most to teaching social studies--a BA in both Political Science and Latin American Studies--my experiences teaching languages and my background in Spanish (native speaker) and French (near-native speaker) have prepared me well to teach foreign langu

As a biology undergraduate at IOWA, I focused as much on how professors taught as I did on the content they were teaching. My interest is in meta-cognition and making sense of our world through unique tools of learning: reading, reason, art, music, language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in biology and certification to teach biology and science. I have taught and tutored students with emotional and learning disorders in all subjects, all grades. I am a creative and patient learner, which informs my teaching style. I enjoy meeting students of all ages at their level of understanding and meet easily the challenge of figuring out how to communicate in ways that make sense to the individual. My task as a teacher is, essentially, to believe in the student's ability to learn and to achieve their goals. I ask questions to engage inquiry: students think about their thinking, ask original

I strongly believe that the key to success in teaching is flexibility. Each and every student has a different style of learning and the successful teacher must be able to adapt to those styles. I believe that it is important to be patient and to meet students where they are. Students must be given constant positive feedback and motivation. When students know that I care about their education, they care as well. As a child of a university professor and preschool director, education has always been a focal point of my life. I began teaching and tutoring during college, both in religious and secular settings. I have taught music, Hebrew and Judaic Studies to 3rd, 6th, and 9th graders. I also spent several months tutoring high school students in math, science, English and history.
