A Little Bit About Me...

I am a hands on teacher and believe in using programs like Jing to share computer screens so that students can see exactly how or where something is and how to accomplish their end goals.
I have an associate degree in Digital Media and a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design. I have recently graduated from my BS program from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh with a 3.44 GPA. I have spent the last eight years in school working in graphic design. I am familiar with the Adobe family of products. Photoshop is my first love. I am also working on learning Art Rage as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

Through my teaching experiences, I have found the method of facilitating rather than dictating, to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. My teaching experiences have taught me that if students construct their own learning experiences, they will not only retain the information longer but they will also become more confident in their abilities. In special education I also realize how important it is for a teacher to adapt their teaching to the learning styles in the environment that they are placed. I have come to realize how vital education is in the preparation for young individuals to achieve success in all endeavors set before them. I also hope to instill a desire to learn within each student
I am currently an intervention specialist for students in grades 5-8, specializing in reading content and reading strategies. Last year, I taught students in the fifth grade, focus ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe teaching is the key to each child's future. When presented with the chance to succeed, I believe each child will. I believe in presenting each child with a verbal and visual explanation of each objective. I then believe that each child needs the chance to complete a task with encouragement and success before independent work. Assessment should only be taken AFTER a child has experienced numerous chances for understanding, practice, and mastery. Flexibility is another thing that many students are not allowed in class, and I believe is very important to success. This is permitted in my classes on an as-needed basis. Each child achieves mastery at a different rate, and regardless of the rate, each child deserves the chance to reach that proficiency.

A Little Bit About Me...

In the past, I have been a teacher/family service worker for preschool children, ages 3yrs to 5 yrs. I have the knowledge to create and implement age appropriate lesson plans. I have also assisted on achieving goals of Individualized Education Plans and documented required paperwork for each student in my classroom. I have held parent/teacher conferences and parent meetings, planned family day events, and attended trainings in the specific field of childhood development. My Associate degree in Early Childhood Education along with my Bachelors degree in Social Work has given me the professional skills to work with children in a group or individual setting.
I am very organized with any task that I take on and I am able to adapt to different settings, as each child is an individual and may not learn the same as the next. I genuinely care about the children I have worked with in t ... read more

My teaching style is definitely one of facilitator. I present the material in a fashion, which allow students to experiment and develop their critical thinking and problem solving skills. From these skills the students will learn how to approach and solve the problems they are given. Students need to experience success and will do so. Failure is not an option. I will do what is necessary to make sure the skills are learned.
As a graduate in Elementary Education, I have taught for 30 years in all subject areas, but have concentrated the last 15 years in the area of Math. I have also tutored students. I have been involved in all levels of education ranging from 4th grade to 8th grade. I have also taught Algebra to students as part of the Mathematics programs, in which I have taught.

Although, I am not a certified teacher, I am currently working towards obtaining my licensure in Language Arts 7-12th grade and have taken several education related classes. I have recently obtained my BA in English and am educated in all of the current trends and graduated in the top ten percent of my class. During my time spent at Defiance College I had the pleasure of working for the Academic resource center as a writing consultant and tutor. There I helped fellow students learn how to write and research effectively. I have also volunteered my time at our local middle school where I helped instruct a fifth grade art class with special needs students.
Although, I have never been in charge of my own class room I consider my teaching style energetic. I love working with students of all ages and find that teaching methods and styles tend to adapt to those individual students. I thi ... read more

As a Bowling Green State University student who has studied Communication Disorders I have come across many experiences with children. Communication Disorders not only includes speech, but language as well. I have gained knowledge about how children read and write and why some children may have problems with this. During my last semester of college I observed 25 hours of speech and language therpay which involved watching both adults and children. This year I will be graduating with a 3.0 in my major. Once I have gained some experience I plan on attending graduate school to obtain my Master's Degree for speech-language pathology. I also feel confident in my abilities to help students with beginning Spanish.
I enjoy watching children learn and grow. I believe there are different teaching techniques for each individual student. I have come to learn this because of my younger sibling ... read more

Teaching is very subjective. Each individual learns according to his/her own style. What I find challenging and rewarding is to find that point where it “clicks”. I believe the best way to learn is through experience and discovery. As an example, I can describe the intelligence of an octopus. But until you actually see a video of one opening a jar for a treat, do you truly realize it as a thinking, planning being. I feel that teaching an individual how to use available resources is just as important as the actual subject. Enabling a student to go out and discover the wonders around him/her through research and education is a wonderful thing indeed.
As an experienced Doctor and Teacher, I am dedicated to enabling individuals to set and attain life goals. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education with emphasis on Biological Sciences and Earth Sciences. I was a teacher in the ... read more

I believe that anyone can understand the subject matter if it is presnted to them in a way that fits their unique learning style. I can demonstrate several ways to learn the same material, and have learned through my years of teaching experience how to quickly identify which method is best understood by an individual. I am patient and understanding, and I relate well to students. I have always received excellent student reviews.
I received a BS degree in chemistry and a minor in applied biology. My original thought was to attend medical school (I even took the MCAT), but decided to persue a PhD in inorganic chemistry instead. I have extensive experience in working with students. I worked as an organic chemistry lab assistant as an undergraduate. During graudate school, I taught both general and analytical chemistry. I am currently teaching chemistry classes at Terra State Co ... read more

As a tutor, I was encouraging, supportive and sensitive to my students' feelings. For example, I normally met my students at the library. One student kept missing his initial session. I figured out that he was too intimidated by the library itself to meet me there. So, we had regular lessons in the park, where he felt comfortable and was therefore receptive to learning. Ultimately, I strived to make each session a positive experience, so that my students would leave feeling good about themselves.
I have a bachelor's degree in English. After college, I worked in the communication area of a large company and wrote news releases and promotional newsletters. I also very briefly worked as a proofreader for the University Press. For one year, I volunteered as a tutor for PLUS (Project Literacy U.S.). It was very satisfying to help empower my students. Most recently, I have used my commun ... read more

I really enjoy working with children and adapting to the intricacies of individual learners. I believe that everyone has the potential to find themselves unblemished in the world of an artwork and to develop from this a confidence in who they are and what they are doing that stretches into all aspects of their lives. I believe that art is the spark of passion and I employ this notion of passion as the key to discovery and learning. In this way I approach teaching reading and writing in the same way as I do sculpture; first one must find an individuals own entry point, a child’s own place of interest from which all facets of academia may stem and grow.
While studying at Allegheny College I was pushed by my professors to achieve a high level of academic proficiency as a student, colleague, and later teacher. Very far from a vocational curriculum, Allegheny encouraged its students ... read more
