I like children to get up and move and learn. All students learn differently and it is up to me to learn what it is and then use that to help them learn. All through college I Tutored children at-risk and/or having a disability. I determined individual needs and apply a variety of methods to help children learn. As a first grade teaching after school I tutor first grader with reading and math. I like children to learn in a fun way. Students need to get up and learn. Worksheets are not something that I like to do when tutoring. Children sit in a desk all day. They do not want to then go and tutor and sit some more. I like to get the kids up and learning.

Any tutors goal is to guide a child to a learning experience within that childs comfort zone. An educator, with a calm and patient demeanor can lead a child to their goal.

As a special education masters degreed professional, advocate and behavior specialist and a Board Member and WALK event founder and chairperson for the past three years for the Autism Society of America, you can be sure I believe that all students of all abilities should receive an appropriate education that takes into account their strengths, weaknesses, disability if any and learning style. The key to all teaching and learning is motivation. Teachers are challenged to find the correct motivation for each student and strategies to connect with them by connecting the real world to their curriculum and academic goals. Any child can learn, it is just that students need to be met where they are in life and rapport established to plant seeds of motivation and for learning to begin. We all remember those teachers who were kind to us, made the subject matter either fun, interesting or bot

I love working with children and helping them find new and creative ways to learn. I am patient, easy going, and creative. When I tutored privately, my students enjoyed working with me and I always tried to make our sessions pleasurable and even fun! My students can always call me at home for extra help and I am available most evenings and even weekends. I truly enjoy helping students learn and achieve to their highest potential. I have spent 30 years in the educational field providing both guidance and counseling as well as tutoring to children ages five through fourteen. I thoroughly enjoyed being a counselor to children. I also found that tutoring students was equally rewarding. I mostly tutored language arts and reading as I consider grammar a strong point of mine. I would very much like to tutor students again through your program.

I attended college at three different schools, on athletic scholarship in two of them. I earned two bachelor degrees, BA in Philosophy and BA in Political Science. After graduating I spent one semester teaching sciences at an outdoor based alternative middle and elementary school just outside of Austin, TX. In college and afterwards I have continued to be involved in issues regarding immigration and minorities. I spent one year living and working in the Central Andes in Peru. Part of that job was teaching English to adults and children in their communities. This has given me a high level of fluency in Spanish and an ability to work in crosscultural situations. I do not believe in hierarchy. I think the teacher-student or tutor-student relationship should be one of equal footing and mutual discovery. This means asking questions together and seeking out the fundamental answers to qu

Each child is different. A good teacher helps each student meet their expectations while keeping the child interested in the subject matter. Each day my goal is the same, to get the most out of my students, and this can only be done when they are attentive and motivated. The best teachers I've had, and the one's I've gotten the most out of working with, have all had one thing in common; they cared about what they taught and even more so about those whom they were teaching. As a student I studied languages, earning a degree in English and an extensive minor in French. During my time in college I spent innumerable hours tutoring both. Over the years I've had countless hours of experience teaching phonics, grammar, reading, writing, creative writing, and conversation. I've also taught and/or tutored elementary math and science, drama, music, and Chinese.

My teaching style is Socratic in method. I have learned a large variety of techniques to help teach some of the most basic to the most advanced concepts to a large audience of students. I like to mold my teaching style to fit with each individual student. As a teacher of special-needs and emotionally handicapped children, I have learned techniques that make me a formidable teacher in any environment, so long as I am familiar with the material. I work hard for my students, and am not willing to have them do anything that I would not do myself. I attended Northern Arizona University, whereupon I fell in love with sociology. I have a firm grasp of basic and advanced sociological concepts, specializing in historical analysis and research methods. After school, I spent my time working temporary jobs, and found one that I thoroughly enjoyed. At Wyko I aquired a set of technical skills t

Having taught college English in rural China, I have found that I am extremely adaptable in my teaching style. I have the ability to precisely coordinate my teaching techniques with the background and needs of the student in order to create a succesful and executable educational support system. In teaching, I aim to provide the student with a breadth of perspective in any given topic while enhancing their analytical abilities. It is my firm belief that a mindful tutor can help make a mindful student, and that every student deserves systematic and attentive support. In teaching each and every one of my students, I take to heart the philosophy that a good education is absolutely invaluable. Over the course of my twenty-three years I have received an international education by way of inter-continental travel and attendance to a world-class university. I have spent much time in the volunteer
