My teaching philosophy drives my instruction. Cooperative learning, discovery-based learning, student-centered classrooms, and research-based methods are all components of my teaching style. With the support system I provide, students feel comfortable taking risks with new knowledge and aren't reprimanded for making mistakes. The fact that each student learns differently keeps me constantly adjusting and adapting my lessons and activities. I feel it is the role of the educator to do everything possible to make each child successful. In 2001, I started my educational degree program. In order to better prepare me for my future career, I immediately started working in the school system. From 2001-2004, I worked as a 1:1 aide for a child in the primary grades, K-12 substitute in all subject areas, youth mentor for mentally disturbed children, and a life-skills tutor for a child with Asberger

Hello, I graduated with a PhD. in analytical chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, University of Massachusetts in Amherst. My research work during my PhD career involved synthesis, purification, analysis and utilization of proteins and PEGylated proteins in bioanalytical experiments. These experimental studies resulted in several publications in scientific journals. In addition, I have considerable experience in training undergraduate chemistry students. Recently, I had the opportunity to tutor at Westfield State College as a visiting lecturer, where I thought a second year organic chemistry class together with a laboratory session associated with the class. I look forward to talking to you further about this position. My philosophy of teaching is essentially helping students develop skills and insights in a supportive environment that they can use for a lifetime. For a studen

It's true that every student learns at a different pace with a different style. I like to see myself as a cameleon teacher, catering my format to individual needs. My style tends to be laid back so that students are comfortable expressing their likes and dislikes with me, curbing their fear of not understanding something. I love to use metaphors, pictures, examples and stories to illustrate the subject in a new and perhaps clearer way. I don't teach and run - I make sure the student understands before moving on to the next problem. I have them work through something in front of me so I can make sure they know what they're doing. And, finally - importantly - I keep a healthy, balanced sense of humor. My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to enter the

I got my bachelors degree from India. My specialization was in Physics, Chemistry and Math. I am interested in chemistry and hence I enrolled into a Master's program in Chemistry and after that I worked as a chemistry lecturer in India. It gave me great pleasure to instruct students on the concepts of general and organic chemistry. Then I moved to USA and then registered at the University of North Carolina to obtain another Master's degree. While I was doing my graduation studies I also worked as a Teaching Assistant and I have taught undergraduate students. The master's program I enrolled was a research based program and hence I had to write a thesis on the research I performed. So I am good at the basic computer skills, I possess a good communication skill and good writing skills as well. My teachers have been a great influence on me hence I think that each child should have an opportu

I became a teacher because I enjoy working with children. I enjoy helping them in their learning process. When they do well in achieving their goal it's rewarding to me. I know I have accomplished something. All my students achieved a grade level or more whether I tutored on my own or with Club Z Tutoring Service. I believe every child is entitled to an education regardless of any circumstance. They should strive to achieve all they can become. I try to be a teacher with patience, a good listener, and to encourage all my students with a positive attitude. My students needs come first and I try to always have extra time for them if they require it.

Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement. I learned teaching and assessment techniques and I learned to modify teaching style according to students needs.

I have worked with youth for the past eight years, beginning with my volunteer work as a camp counselor with my community 4-H group. I have since worked as summer camp staff; lead tutor for a private tutoring company; case manager with a focus on academic improvement, college preparation and dropout prevention; and most recently as a kindergarten and third grade English teacher. Because I have worked with children who came to the US as refugees from developing countries, I am very comfortable working with diversity. I have spent time working and studying outside the US and speak advanced Spanish and basic Arabic. Because of my extensive writing experience as a freelance journalist, I am very comfortable tutoring even the highest level of English or writing. I have bachelor degrees in Spanish and International Studies from the University of South Florida, both of which are magna cum
