A Little Bit About Me...

As an Arizona State graduate, I have developed a strong ethic in leadership, independence, mastery, superior work habits, proficiency in my field, and would like to bring all of these qualities into the academic community. I have earned a degree in Secondary Education with an emphasis in history. I have learned key grammatical skills due to writing and completing research in my field. During my college career, I have written many research papers, book reviews, and a final thesis paper centered on democracy in Latin America. With in the last two years, I have tutored students for the Salvation Army, interned at both Payne Junior High and Hamilton Prep Academy in the Chandler School District.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I do not have a degree in Education, I have years of experience as a teaching assistant, teacher, tutor and curriculum designer. My experience mostly focuses on helping students improve their writing skills, but I also work with students with their reading comprehension since they go hand in hand. I have taught composition at the community college level which enables me to help students with papers at all levels from basic exposition to research methodology and citation format.
I enjoy working with young people and making an impact on their academic success. I don't know if I have a particular teaching style, but I believe that education is not a "one size fits all" proposition and good educators must adapt their style to fit the needs of their student which I strive for every time I meet a new student.

I am a strong believer in communicating with students according to their own developmental capabilities and learning style. I strive to patiently discover these unique aspects of each of my students and find creative ways of meeting their needs. My goal is that students will not only improve their understanding of a particular subject, but that they will also improve their own study skills and problem-solving abilities. I believe it is important to help students learn to manage their time and homework, which can feel overwhelming to a student, and I often help them work out a weekly schedule with manageable amounts of work. I enjoy helping students connect what they are studying to practical aspects of their own life or the world around them, as I find this helps increase their interest and enjoyment in what they are learning.

When I graduated from High School and went into the job market I continued to be interested in working with children. This interest lead me to taking psychology and education classes from various colleges over the years and ultimately obtaining a B.I.S degree from A.S.U. In addition, I have worked in the field of education for over the last 12 years and I obtained an Elementary Montessori Teachers certification. My interest in working with children has lead me to working on a post-B.A. from Rio Salado. I still plan on obtaining a masters degree in ether Education or Psychology. In addition, over the years I have worked with many different types of children on a whole group setting all the way to one on one tutoring.
My style of teaching depends upon the child's way of learning. In my role as a Montessori teacher I typically presented lessons to the child in way that would best suit ... read more

I'm a certified Air Force Instructor with two years of experience as a Unit Training Manager. I have 3 years of experience teaching adults how to build computers and install/configure operating systems and applications.
I find that teaching works best if you tailor the material to your audience - i.e. you don't want to lose them OR bore them. Use what they know as a foundation to build on to teach new concepts. If material is difficult or unfamiliar to your class it's important to be prepared in advance with several approaches to get the material across. Review material periodically to reinforce confidence in the students and always make sure they have a firm grasp on material before moving on.

I enjoy teaching! Learning should be fun and enjoyable for children! Young people learn through different methods; however their rate of progression may vary widely. I believe that children learn best when you provide them with examples that they can easily understand. By using real life examples, children will be able to apply the skills learned in the classroom to future work and leisure activities. My goal is to make a difference, in the life of every student, by providing them with the essential tools to succeed in our modern society.

I enjoy tutoring because I am able to pass on the knowledge that I have learned over the years. This knowledge can help academic and self confidence problems linked the certain subjects. The key to successful tutoring is to link the "trouble course" to feelings of enjoyment. The path to linking the course depends on student personality and interests. The student will experience more motivation and interest once the subject is properly associated to enjoyment. This starts the foundation for increased learning and a way to bypass the “learning block”. Other keys involve patients and proper explanation of the subject, which are also very important.

I just graduated from Arizona State University with a BS in Biochemistry (Medicinal Chemistry) and received a minor in Biology. I have logged over 100 credit hours in ASU’s science departments while meeting the Dean’s List requirements. Growing up, my parents always emphasized the importance of giving back to your community and I also believe a career in science and education is the best way to do that. My hard work and dedication has not just been applied to academia, but also to my extracurricular activities. I have been a leader of a student-run university service organization for the past two years and a member of several others. I have donated my time in spearheading countless organizations and community volunteering events.

I am a firm believer that children are eager to learn when they are challenged and encouraged to reach beyond their own expectations. Children need to be encouraged and given positive re-enforcement when they succeed as well as when they are having difficulty.
I have several years of teaching for church groups. In addition I have served as a substitute teacher at a private Catholic High School. In addition, as a research assistant in graduate school I have had to edit numerous scholarly articles.
