From teaching and tutoring various children I have learned each child has a different understanding of the same subject. I have adapted to help each child I have worked with the achieve their individual understanding and success. Recently, I have helped tutor students in photography classes and I found many teachers push their own style onto the students. I have taken a determined stand against this type of teaching. Each student has a voice and I am willing to hear it. I have recently graduated from UNLV with a BA in fine art with minors in art history and criminal justice. I have taken classes in education and am pursuing a master's degree in art history so I can teach on the college level. I have taught and tutored many individuals in art, English, and math. I was on the math team in high school and have gone to nationals for Science Olympiad so I can also tutor in the science

My rigorous education has given me substantial insight into the "total package" needed to learn and succeed at a high level. The ability to learn material is critical, and I excel at teaching difficult concepts and skills to a range of different learning "types". However, the ability to organize, prioritize, and focus is equally critical to academic success, and my experience with a wide range of subjects from art and literature to science, social sciences, and business as well as a range of different personalities allows me to teach virtually any subject with a sympathetic understanding of how each individual's personality learns best. Some people learn well step-by-step, others learn better through self-experimentation. My familiarity with a range of learning styles allows me to find the best way to teach each individual.

I was first introduced to accounting by owning my own business. Then I was hired by an engineering company to update their bookkeeping method from paper to computer. I became proficient in troubleshooting discrepancies and providing users with solutions. I interfaced with Federal and State taxing agencies, banks, and lending institutions requiring reports and/or payments. I then moved on to a Software Development company as a Product Manager of accounting software being developed for internet use by accountants. I trained and answered questions, wrote newsletters, prepared marketing materials and taught at seminars. I became a mentor and troubleshooter for the software users. I love teaching. Currently I am working with adults in debt management and financial counseling. Money management is critical to the survival of a family and easily sabotaged by impulse spending. I most enjoy o

I am a believer in the socratic method. As an Avid tutor we were taught to employ this method to help students understand concepts. I think that it is better to ask questions, and guide students' thinking rather than just giving them the answer, or telling them how to do a problem. Simply telling someone how to do something or giving them the answer prevents that person from figuring it out for his or herself. If the student can figure it out for themselves they will achieve a much better level of understanding. I am just getting ready to graduate from the University of Utah with a degree in Mathematics and an minor in Physics. I have extensive knowledge of Mathematics and good knowledge of science in general, as I have taken many chemistry, biology and physics classes while at the University. I have fair grammatical skills, as I have had the opportunity to work in an undergraduate resea

I spent the last two years in Warsaw, Poland teaching English as a Foreign Language. My duties included planning and preparing daily lesson plans as well as semester course programs, traveling to different locations to teach school-aged children or adults in different environments, keeping records of material covered, preparing and administering exams at the end of each term, and completing reports about students at the end of the year. I have experience teaching children (ages 5 to about 15) and adults. The children I worked with ranged in ability from beginners (at most a few words of English) to upper-intermediate (teenagers with a fairly high level of understanding and communication). As to my education, I have a total of five years of college education, two at Highline and three at WSU. In that time I took a variety of classes, including creative writing, philosophy, psychology

I am an aspiring condensed matter physicist with extensive knowledge of chemistry and mathematics. I have experience in the industry working as a researcher and engineer which gave me a deep insight into applying the physical principles I learned in school. I have taught English as a second language in a formal setting and tutored numerous friends and colleagues in matters ranging from introductory physics to technical writing. I am an extremely patient and positive teacher. I believe that the fundamental gift a teacher can give to their students is the gift of confidence. In my experience the primary obstacle to a student's progress is usually their own disbelief that they can do it. As a teacher, if you can persuade the student to overcome this doubt, the rest of the job simply requires patience and resilience.

As an American attending an English college, I was offered the unique opportunity of teaching college students about American authors whilst earning a degree in creative writing. I also received a degree in Religious Studies and I minored in both History and Philosophy which allowed me to study and participate in many different areas of the social sciences. In addition, I was a teacher at a private charter school where I taught all ages from 6 years old up to 18 years of age. Not only did I teach a set curriculum for Reading and Creative Writing, I taught and wrote the curriculum for History, Religious Studies and Music History. I also helped students study for college placement exams. Having taught both gifted as well as students with learning disabilities, the one factor I found in common with all of them, is that in order to get them to learn you have to first get them engaged.

Teaching is a personal act. Though I have enjoyed being in the classroom and seeing students develop as a community of learners, I have seen the most progress by addressing students' individual needs in a one-on-one situation. I see literature as one of most effective ways that people come to understand one another, the act of reading being a fundamentally unselfish and inquisitive act, an attempt to make sense of and relate to another person’s perspective. Writing is reading’s reciprocal act—a kind of reaching out in hopes of being understood, in adding somehow to the volumes of human perspectives. These are keys to democratic living. It is a great thrill for me to see these discoveries take place within the students I teach. Having recently graduated with a master's degree in Literature and Writing, during which I also taught two college-level freshman writing courses, I am well versed

As a student working towards a Mathematics degree, very quickly I migrated away from the applied and into the pure, theoretical, aspects of Mathematics. Being familiar with math from several different pure standpoints (Topology, Algebra, and Analysis) I understand the benefit of being taught a concept from different viewpoints. I find teaching with more of a Topological flavor adds great depth to math, even for those at a young age. There is however a learning curve that must be overcome to grasp math in a visual way. If that milestone appears to be undesired, or insurmountable, I try and teach in a more straight forward, student-discovery, method of teaching. During the spring of 2007 I tutored a college senior in Business Calculus. We would meet at a local bagel shop and go over homework problems he was having difficulty with. If these misunderstanding appeared to run deeper than the s

I love working with students one on one to develop a tailored approach that will work best for the student. Once we discover together the most appropriate method to access the material, I find that students thrive quickly. I am patient and determined and I thoroughly enjoy watching my students succeed with my help. As a Duke graduate, I have had a very well rounded liberal arts education and am thus well acquainted with a variety of subjects. While my degree is in Spanish literature and history, I have had experience tutoring students in math and English as well.

In preparation for college, I knew that in order to get into the kind of small private colleges I was looking for, earning a high enough score on the standardized exams like the SAT and ACT was very important. Although I scored very well on both tests, my writing and reasoning skills underwent great improvement in my college's intensive honors program for accelerated studies. Since 2005 I have been tutoring full time, and teaching in small classrooms for the Anchorage school district. I have had great success with a variety of students and types of curriculums in all subject matters. My teaching style varies depending on the type of students I am teaching to because I believe that each student has a particular learning style that they find easier. I think that it is important to find the types of learning that each student finds easiest to understand, and tailor the course so that it wor

During my four years at Case Western Reserve University, I became aware of the needs of the city schools in the area and worked to help improve the situations in the schools. I worked with AmericaREADS, OhioREADS and other similar programs to help tutor children who were not able to get the individual attention they needed in the classroom. Because of my background in engineering, I am excellent in math and science but I also enjoy helping in reading, writing, and assisting the children in enhancing their studying skills. I enjoy working with children of most ages although I worked mainly with K, first, fourth and high school levels during my four years of experience. I believe everyone has the ability to reach their greatest potential with appropriate help and that sometimes extra assistance can be the difference between success and failure. I use rewards to help children feel bette

I have a very interactive personality. I love to get kids involved in their subjects outside of the textbook. I have seen from years of experience that students do better when the can find real life applications of material in everyday life then just to finish an assignment. I know that there are many different learning styles and no one particular way can be right for every child. I am flexible and want to help children accomplish their learning objectives with excitement and desire to learn more. I have had 15 yrs experiences working with kids age 2-18 in different areas from reading, math, afterschool programs, special needs and general assistance. I completed my Masters in Education at Arizona State University and have worked in two different non-profits specializing in at risk youth completing high school. I have tutored in English, math, reading, and science in the elementary age.
