I enjoy teaching and interacting with children of all ages. I truly believe that everyone is capable of learning, but a single approach cannot reach all children. I make myself available for students on an individual basis to help them ensure they are successful in their academic endeavors. I am patient, easy going and considerate of others' feelings. My ultimate goal is to provide the best possible learning experience for everyone. I firmly beleive there are different learning styles for each indivdual, but have had great success with teaching through actual, hands on, experiences. Included in that is constructive feedback and celebration of successes. I firmly believe that a single teacher who truly cares can make a world of difference in the life of a student. I am a walking example of such a case. As a graduate in both the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and M

While working toward my master's degree, I started working in a high school as a para-professional. I also studied a lot of physical and social sciences, which I feel are my stong points. I love working with children and my goal in life is to teach elementary level students. I do not give up in finding ways to reach children of all ages. I have also assisted my sons and their friends with school work and study skills.

Three teachers impacted my life not only as a result of the content of their classes but in their delivery. All three approached learning as an adventure. Even though the topics ranged from sixth grade mathematics to fluid dynamics each teacher keyed their presentation on the reception of the students. If the first presentation didn’t get the topic across an alternative presentation was made, often in a humorous vein. Students were never allowed to feel inadequate. Many of the students I trained were sent by their employers. So often, the student’s frame of mind wasn’t the most open to the learning experience. By presenting the content in a light-hearted manner, the stress levels were reduced considerably! Hence, we were able to more effectively deliver the desired knowledge with greater retention. Consequently, I prefer a teaching style that puts the student at ease while we

When working towards my teaching certification I was in many classrooms from Kindergarten to 12th Grade in Pueblo School District 60. After graduation I applied and got a teaching job and I taught at Skyview Middle School in District 49 for 4 years teaching Ancient Civilizations. Before that I was a substitute in District 8, 2, 3, 60, 48 all southern Colorado school districts. I am a holistic teacher who likes for students to experience the subject. For example I would have student immerse themselves into the subject of history and complete a project and present it to the other students. It was really successful and had students waiting all year.

Every person is different and requires a unique style for learning. I have used many different styles in my experiences, and I tend to use the one that works the best for that individual. Some are visual learners while others need to learn by trial and error. I am easy going, flexible, and patient. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are granted the necessary experiences and surroundings. I have graduated from Iowa State University with a major in Finance and minor in Statistics. I have a strong background in math and have taken up to Calculus II. I have experience tutoring Calculus and Statistics at the college level for five semesters. Working with students is something I really enjoy. I have experience working with a non-profit organization at the college level and another one at the elementary school level. I also have mentored children and worked with them at my

I love teaching and working with students of all sages. I believe that you are never too old or too young to learn new skills, both academically and in life. I am able to help your student achieve academic success through the application of basic concepts in economics, finance, history or philosophy to the real world and using real world examples. Great teachers make great learners, I have had several in my life and I strive to emulate them in all of my teaching experiences. As a graduate of a presigious liberal arts college, I was driven to a belief in life-long learning. As such I have been to graduate school twice, once in business and once in international relations, to gain an understanding of the world in which we live both in terms of economics and finance and through the study of foreign policy and the wider world.

My introduction to teaching occurred when I was selected by two university departments to be a Graduate Assistant. Among my many duties were the presentation of classes and the grading of papers. As an officer in the United States Army I have been responsible for training and teaching at many levels. As a new lieutenant I directly supervised the training of a team of nine young soldiers. In my latest military position the documents that my organization created will affect the training of thousands of soldiers over several decades. In my position as a licensed secondary school level teacher I presented classes through lecture format in the Socratic style. In order to touch on multiple intelligences I extensively use many different projects to stimulate the student's thought and knowledge application processes.

I have a strong desire to use my abilities and interests as a professional educator. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Accounting. I have a strong math, reading and social sciences core subject background. Since January of 2010 I have been serving as a substitute teacher in both Pueblo city and county school districts. This work includes providing one-on-one assistance to students who need additional support. I have also worked with students that have a variety of disabilities, from pre-school through high school. I feel I have the patience, compassion and skills needed to provide a safe and productive learning situation for all students. I feel that teaching children is a very important field of work. Our young people deserve educational training and experiences which challenge them to grow, intellectually, physically, culturally, socially and academically, regar

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 through these experiences that I wanted to help people learn and become accomplished. Later, I decided to student teach in graduate school. I taught three different writing courses over three years, including this past year as a part-time instructor. While I enjoyed my time teaching in a college classroom, I found myself making the most headway during conference time. In addition, I also worked as a writing tutor at MU's writing center. I felt like I accomplished more working with students in this way instead of standing by a chalkboard. 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 fac

My experience is generally with high school and adult learners and I also am extremely proficient with online learning and designing curriculum for online learning that uses mobile devices and virtual simulations. My doctorate research is in the interplay between real and virtual identity when we go into an online space, making me very adept at teaching anytime, anywhere. I am able to teach most high school and undergraduate level subjects as well as writing and business but have a particular passion for finance, history, and most math courses (algebra). My teaching style is collaborative; everyone brings some gift to the table. I never forget to thank my students for giving me the opportunity to guide them on their journey. I try to make learning like a story. I weave real-life examples that have relevance in the lives of my students, and examples from popular culture. My strengt

I am interested in working again as a Mathematics Tutor, I've had a very enriching previous experience from former employers at Colorado State University-Pueblo, where I've obtained two degrees, a B.S. in Mathematics and a B.S.B.A. in Economics. I love education and working along with others. I'm very passionate in continually cultivating myself and growing, in fact, my last employer hired me to teach English in Taiwan! It was wonderful experience. My teaching style starts usually with a question to spark and interest, or perhaps another question. I idenify with the audience and that is extremely helpful. I am patient and enjoy when a student finds confidence by learning something new. I use some props and examples to aid a particular subject, and I speak English very well so there is no miscommunication.
