Pre-Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Conrad, MT

My past experiences have taught me that I have an ability to motivate youth through rapport building and mutual respect. I know that touching one’s life is a huge reward to everyone involved. My goal is to help affect as many lives as I can by being the person I am with the compassion I have. When I was in college I always wanted to be involved helping shape the youth of our nation. It has been five years post-graduation and I still have the desire to continue my work with youth and adolescents. Why do I feel like that? The intention and the desire have always been inside of me: a craving to explore the cultural differences and environments in our society.

I believe that all children learn in different ways and my teaching style is designed to accommodate these differences. I design unique tutoring programs based on the child's strengths and learning style. I am a very patient and easy going person who believes in positive reinforcement. During my service as a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, I taught chemistry and tutored the students in all fields in my spare time. I have extensive grammatical skills and have written numerous papers.

As branch manager I was responsible for training all new staff. I have trained everyone from retail bankers through branch managers. Some of my trainees even moved on to regional management in other states. I have also tutored college students in math and english. From 2003-2005, I homeschooled my mother-in-law's three special needs children with the pace system. I currently homeschool my two children as well. I believe that the individual child dictates my teaching style. I learned that no two children learn the same way. I usually start by asking the child questions that prompt them to figure out the answer themselves. I feel that children remember most information that the figure out on their own rather than something dictated to them. I also feel that generating proficient study skills is important.

While working on my bachelor's in psychology I taught for 3 years at an after school and summer science enrichment teacher and coordinator. I then decided to take my love of learning further and obtain a master's degree in teaching, therefore earning my elementary education teaching certificate. While working on my master's degree I tutored pre-k through 12th grade students in all subject areas. After graduation I received a position as a fifth grade classroom teacher in Sumter, SC. I successfully completed my 1st year of teaching last May and am looking forward to getting back to work helping students achieve their personal best. I believe that teaching is all about creating and fostering positive relationships. Many students are not connecting with their classroom teachers and are therefore not motivated or engaged in the classroom. I am flexible and patient as a teacher and I strive t

While attending The Ohio State University, I majored in Animal Sciences and minored in both Life Sciences and Farm Management. The coursework I completed has enabled me to gain an understanding in many different areas of science and some math. During my junior year at Ohio State, I served as a teaching assistant for the Animal Nutrition course in the College of Agriculture. I received my Masters of Agriculture at Colorado State University and became very skilled with writing research papers, essays, and reports. Getting my Masters degree also further increased my knowledge of the agricultural sciences, accounting, and economics. I really enjoy interacting with students; when I am working with students, I like to teach in a way that allows the student to participate and provide contributions. Having been a student myself, I find that I learn best when the learning experience is interactiv

I love to work with high school and middle school kids. My teaching style is firm in the sense that I will not do work for the student. I am casual in the sense that I prefer a one-on-one atmosphere to learning and a conversational approach to synthesizing ideas. I am concerned for students beyond their grades and truly hope to help kids succeed. I have worked for the last six years on a volunteer, part-time, and full-time basis with a non-profit youth organization called Young Life. During that time I have been intermittently substitute teaching and tutoring with public and private high school and middle school students. I am also a middle school football coach and have served for two seasons at East Middle School in Great Falls, MT. I have a degree in History from montana State University and am currently taking graduate classes part-time. As a history major I have developed skills in

I have always had the desire to become a teacher. I realize that every person is different in how they learn and sometimes you have to be creative in how you teach. I am very patient and laid back and I understand that frustration from the student often occurs when learning something new. This is why it is important to have someone there to help them ease those frustrations so that they can continue to learn. This is my goal when I help out others. Growing up I always had a love for math and science. This drew me into the field of engineering. While earning a degree in Electrical Engineering from Notre Dame much of my time was spent in study groups and helping others understand areas they had trouble with.
