I have 2 years experience in tutoring high-school and college-level math and computer science (programming and database design) while studying computer science in college from 1996-1998. During that time I also taught small classes in computer usage (email and internet) at the Kennewick Senior Center. I later earned a bachelor degree in math at Portland State University in 2004, participating in study groups there. My recent work experience was in help desk, drafting, and geographic information systems. I like to start tutoring students by determining what the student's strengths and weaknesses are and building a strategy from there. When a student doesn't understand a new concept, I like to go through every step of the process with them to figure out where the stumbling block is, using a variety of ways to explain the concept to assess which strategy works best for each student.

In my instruction I apply research-based strategies, theories, new techniques, and modern methods of instruction. I put a lot of thought and work in to creating my lesson plans. This can be seen in the detail that I provide on each plan. I pay careful consideration to connecting the lesson to the GLEs and EALRs and I summarize each lesson in great detail. My lesson plans are thorough, well-crafted and would enable anyone to come in and take over my class in my absence. My plans are creative, useful and each one presents an important lesson that combine innovative strategies with engaging activities. They stimulate imagination and help develop oral and written language skills. My experience as a teacher has given me the opportunity to teach math, science, history, literature, reading and writing to a very diverse group of students. These students vary in development, both academical

Every child learns in a different way and I consider it my responsibility as an instructor to discover the methods that help students dissect and retain information. I have found that excitement for your subject is crucial in making learning fun. I enjoy finding creative ways to help students tackle problems, whether mathematical or verbal. I am patient, friendly, and know the importance of encouragement for a job well done. After a tutoring session, I would want the student to come away feeling challenged and rewarded. I know the necessity of a good education and I would do everything possible to empower my students to be successful in that endeavor. I have always had a deep appreciation for knowledge and education. I hold a BS in Marine Science (Oceanography), through which I took many high level science and math courses.

I have a passion for teaching and working with children to help them be successful. I always have the goal to make all the students I come into contact leave wanting to be life long learners. This doesn't go without saying that it is an easy task. It is a challenge I am prepared for. I like to know the goals of each student I am working with and their expectations of where they would like to be. I like to keep track of their work so they can look back and see how far they have progressed. Most people can’t recall their first days of school, but I can.While the fashions changed as I entered each grade, I was always filled excitement.It was equivalent to the feeling you get at Christmas, but better!The present you were getting on the warm August day was a new teacher, a new desk, and new friends. It is those same feelings that drew me to wanting to be an educator.I have experiences in vari
