College Student - Eager to Gain Experience!

I am a hands on teacher, probably because I am a hands on learner. I find it difficult to learn when an instructor is solely lecturing. I believe that constant practice and hands on lessons are the most effective ways of learning.
I have an incredible passion for teaching. I am currently in the process of getting my Bachelors in Secondary Education with a focus in English. I have knowledge of the structure and content of the English language and thoroughly enjoy teaching others composition, spelling, creative writing, reading, vocabulary, etc. I do not have much experience yet in a classroom setting but have volunteered at a middle school while getting my Associates degree. I helped a teacher at a middle school to teach students that were having difficulty in various subjects.

I believe that all students can be successful, it's just a matter of finding the right lever to make education enjoyable and relevant in their own lives. I successfully use cross-ciriculum education in order to teach students at a higher level of Bloom's, thus insuring greater retention rates. I use scaffolding to build upon prior knowledge in order to keep new information relevant to the student. I have a great passion for education and for helping the students reach their full potential in a way that makes them want to continue to excell in their studies.
I have taught in a variety of educational institutions including; private schools, public schools, charter schools, boarding schools, tutoring, and group homes.

I firmly believe that education is the secret to future success. I also feel that everyone has the ability to learn and should be pushed to their personal limits. Trying to make learning as interesting and exciting as possible, by using various techniques, is the best way to engage students. Further, intelligent interaction and discussion of ideas is certain to help with knowledge retention. I try to be "real" with students (be myself) to gain trust and form a relationship. I am humorous, challenging, and always understanding.
An alum of Bradley University, I graduated magna cum laude and as a member of two honor societies. I hold a BA in English, am a Theatre minor, and am currently seeking a teaching license. While student teaching in Illinois, both my observation instructor and teaching adviser frequently complimented me on my creative teaching tactics, overall knowledge ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a former paraprofessional with a Master's Degree in Social Work I have worked with kids in the past behaviorally and academically. I have a solid grasp of English, Grammar, Social Studies, and Mathematics.
I enjoy working with children of all ages. I feel my career in social work has allowed me to become more centered on compassion as a means of education, and engaging the child in the learning process while being compassionate. Children typically learn best when in a positive, comfortable situation. I would like them to feel comfortable enough to feel like they can be their best around me.

I have worked as a social worker for many years. As a social worker, doing therapy with people is a complicated form of teaching, mentoring, counseling.

I also wrote for a newspaper for one year and have many clippings.
Facilitating, building relationship, mentoring, supporting, encouraging, and content instruction. I believe it is easier for someone to learn if they believe you care about them and trust you are working in their best interest.

I am frequently requested as a guest teacher at Glassford Hill Middle School in Prescott Valley and have served as a long-term guest teacher for English classes on numrous occasions.
As I am a very auditory/visual learner, I tend to to lean towards both auditory and visual techniques. I question the students as to what he or she intended to say in their writing, what is the intent of the paper--will this persuade the reader, inform the reader, compare/contrast ideas-- and see if the writer is in fact accomplishing this goal through effect word choices, sound reasoning, specific examples, and other components of writing. The hope is to edit the document fo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In high school I was able to tutor students in all subjects ranging from English to Math to Musical Studies. Furthering my education at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX really opened my eyes and mind to wider ranges of educational foundations. As a double major in Communication and Classical Studies, I was able to get a well rounded education in all subjects. I feel that I am also skilled in math and got a minor in Art History. I have always enjoyed tutoring students and seeing them "get" the subjects we are touching on.
I have always enjoyed tutoring students and seeing them "get" the subjects we are touching on. The look on their face during this moment is priceless. I fully understand that everyone learns things in different ways. While one student may be able to memorize and understand facts one way, say by repetition, another student may learn the information by understan ... read more

My philosophy of education is based on the belief that we are all born natural, enthusiastic learners and, if appearances are to the contrary, there is a reason. I believe the effective teacher must determine the student’s learning style and tailor lessons to the individual’s strongest learning channel, their interests, passions, creative imagination and motivations. I have found as an educator, each “aha!” moment with a student, every sign that a new connection has been made or a deeper understanding has been realized, has brought renewed commitment, on my part, to the vocation of teaching.
I graduated from the UNH with a B.A. (summa cum laude) in Psychology in 1982. I attended Antioch/NE, graduating in 1985 with an M.A. in Counseling Psychology. I began a private practice and started teaching at the University of New Hampshire and at community colleges in the area and later at Em ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an English major and writer/editor with 15 years of experience, I have honed my grammatical, language and communication skills through the written word and verbal expression. With volunteer work at women's shelter's, I read to and helped elementary-age kids learn to read during my time spent with them.
I love being with and teaching children, especially when it comes to reading and books. I find it highly gratifying to see the joy that comes with learning to love to read and the subsequent doors of learning that open as a result. Though kids have different learning styles, I believe that books and the ability to read are a universal passion that transcends all backgrounds and abilities. I strive to make a difference with students that, by teaching them to read (and write?) well, it can open up brand-new worlds for them.
