Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Charlo, MT

With my years of being around and in an educational environment, I have picked up patterns of repetition and summary to reinforce ideas being conveyed. I, myself, learn best by doing. Through studying adult learning styles, I discovered that studies show utilizing all facets of learning - writing, audio, visual, and hands on - leads to the highest levels of retention. I teach by 1) talking by the student to determine his or her best learning style and 2) utilizing the various methods listed above so that the student can retain the maximum amount of information through his or her best learning style. If someone would pay me to be a student, I could continue going to school for my whole life. I love to learn and come from a family of teachers.

My teaching style is enthusiastic; I desire to help students encounter who they are and imagine what they can achieve through their education. As an educator, I am energetic, compassionate and flexible in my approach to student needs. I understand my role as an engaged fellow learner, rather than a reserved teacher-authority. Because I believe that learning is a dynamic, uneven process and this process is often different for every person, my teaching philosophy is student-centered. I strive to create a conversational, open space where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. I celebrate the significant, unique inquiry each student brings into the classroom. In one-on-one conferences, I encourage self-reflection, asking students to identify questions or difficulties we can explore together. I challenge students to be self-accountable, even as I hold students accountable

After earning a bachelor degree in Mathematics/Statistics I entered graduate school with the intention of going into the Computer Science field. Teaching undergraduates, as a teaching assistant, I uncovered my desire to help and teach. In an effort to find a better path I'm now enrolled as a first year professional student in a Pharmacy program. I have an extensive educational background in math and sciences to draw upon. As a computer science teaching assistant I was often presenting students with their first experience in a new field, as a result, I have adapted a teaching style which draws upon my background in the sciences to offer real life examples and helpful tidbits to further a students understanding. I am patient and equipped to adapt to student's differing needs. I enjoy working with students of all ages and truly wish to help students learn and enjoy their educations.

I began tutoring when I was in high school and enjoyed it immensely. When I got to college, I became a German teaching assistant. My favorite part was office hours. I love working with students individually. I earned a bachelor’s degree in German and Linguistics; I also took 16 credits each of biology and chemistry. After finishing college, I completed a training course for teaching certification in Texas. In the past year, I have tutored students in German, English and English as a Second Language. Numerous studies have shown that children have different learning styles. I believe that tailoring to a student’s individual style is the most effective way to teach. Consequently, the first session will be spent in identifying your child’s unique style. Before tutoring begins, I like to sit down with the parents and student to identify educational goals. Once goals and learning sty

I have a B.A. in Accounting as I have a great passion for the financial world. I have always LOVED math as I feel it gives me a great sense of accomplishment when I am able to take a problem that I've been given and find a solution. I have a strong desire to pass this on to others. I have been working in Outdoor Education for the past year and a half. I spent 7 months living and working at a boarding school. I have also been working for other schools' Outdoor Education programs over the past 3 months. I spent time this summer working with youth through a summer camp. I have worked with a wide age range of students, grades 1-12. Through working in Outdoor Education I have developed a very complex teaching style. I find that all students learn differently which means that to be a successful educator, I must be creative and present information in numerous ways. I feel as though I have a

I strongly believe that teachers can influence the passion and understanding a student will have for a subject. While my early teachers had varying styles of educating, I remember the teachers that honestly cared about their subject and inspired me to pursue a career in science. As a math tutor, I understand that children develop at different rates and some find math very difficult to learn. However, with the right amount of patience, positive attitude, and extra attention, these individuals will progress at math and may discover new abilities that propel them to succeed in academics and life. I am a dedicated, considerate tutor that will put in the extra effort that it takes to provide high quality teaching. I have a BS in Wildlife Biology, with honors, which gives me an excellent background in math and science. I have worked as a wildlife field technician over the last four years

I am a passionate believer in individualized education. Good education matches a child’s level, pace of learning, and interests. I am very student-centered in my teaching. I use a variety of means to engage students and to allow self-direction so that students can “work” from their interests. I try to find the place where the student’s interests and level meet the demands of the subject matter. That is the place from which meaningful learning and individual growth can happen. I also have a strong commitment to quality. For example, I believe that it is very important for older students to apply themselves to reading closely, thinking analytically, and writing well. I try to show them that these difficult tasks are essential to empowering themselves as learners and persons. I have been involved in the field of education since 1982, when I directed and co-designed the residential componen

I am passionate about teaching and learning, and I love all people. I am an advocate of task-based learning, multiple intelligences, and the all-around inductive/constructivist approach to learning. I am a firm believer in the idea that all people have the same innate capacity to learn, but that this is manifested in different ways. This is particularly important because I beleive a good teacher should be able to discover the individual and specific ways that a student relates or acquires information best (visually, aurally, kinesthetically etc.) and can then take that information and develop appropriate excercises and teaching materials to help maximize that student's learning experience. Different teaching styles are needed for different learning styles, and I will accomodate as necessary. My goal in studying linguistics is to become a professional ESL teacher. I am very much interest

I enjoy helping others and have often volunteered my proofreading and editing skills to my friends, family, and classmates. While in college, I took numerous creative writing classes that utilized workshop and group editing techniques. As a result, I have learned how to give constructive criticism and how to help others improve their writing without compromising their own unique style and voice. As a writer myself, I understand literary theory and technique, as well as the importance (and many facets) of authorship, which I try to pass along to my students through excercises and activities. I have a Bachelor's degree in English Writing from the University of Nevada, Reno, and am currently in the process of applying to graduate school for Creative Writing. During the past year, I have tutored part-time as a writing tutor through the in-home tutoring company Study Buddies. Recentl

My teaching style varies for each individual student. To see a struggling student smile when they finally grasp a concept is very rewarding. I make my students think and do the work. The only way to grasp hard business and math concepts is through repetition and patience. Throughout my life I have tutored many individuals that have crossed my path. As a father and working professional, I have always tried to pass along my knowledge to those that would benefit. A well trained associate is better for all concerned. I currently tutor algebra for 6th grade students.
