From having been in the education field for over 10 years, I have come to learn that my teaching style is very much dependent on the learning style of the individual. Introducing young children to language requires a very different set of skills and expectations that teaching freshmen composition at the college level. I think the most important aspect of a teaching style is the ability to judge and modify instruction so that it is suited for the learner, and I always intend to teach the student, rather than just teach the material. As an English teacher, I have had the opportunities to work with many different ages and levels of students. From foreign kindergarten students through degree seeking college students and varying levels in between, I have learned many different skills to help me approach each learner with the tools that make learning easy and enjoyable.

I am very passionate when teaching students and I strive hard to ensure that every student grasps the material. I implore real-world examples to provide students with background knowledge concerning the subject area. I am patient, flexible, a good listener, and easy to communicate with. At all time, I strive to make the learning process fun but very productive. I also am very good at motivating and challenging students to help them reach the next level. As a teacher, I am driven to help motivate students to reach their highest potential. I am patient and flexible and always willing to help provide examples to help students fully understand the material. I received a Bachelors from the University of Michigan and a Masters degree in Secondary Education from the University of Phoenix. While, at the University of Michigan, I was a writer for the student newspaper. Due to my previous

I taught college composition to college students as a teaching assistant while I was in grad school. I completed a teaching practicum as part of my training. I tutored calculus and algebra to college students while I was an undergraduate. I earned the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) certification. I believe in a personal, individual attention approach to tutoring as this is how I myself was taught by my parents and siblings. I am also result oriented as far as grades are concerned.

I believe that a teacher's adaptability is the most essential skill. A teacher's style should be evaluated as often as a child's progress. All people develop at an individual pace and style so it makes sense that information should be presented in a manner that actually communicates to each child. Coming from a special education background, it is my belief that every person has the ability to learn. Adapting curriculum for each student would be ideal. For special education this is called the individual education plan. Tutoring, supplemental education, and individual attention to students help to provide this specialized, possibly ideal, situation. Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the l

Teaching has always been a part of my life. My mother was constantly teaching me, along with my siblings and the twenty other children that ran in and out of our home. I believe strongly in a teaching method that provides encouragement and positivism; one that highlights the good before pointing out the mistakes. My goal is to listen to the child and hear what his or her needs are and where he or she is struggling, and then to actively tackle one issue at a time through creative and interactive activities, problem-solving, and constructive criticism. I believe in children, their innocence, their carefree energy and endless intelligent ideas and innovations. My ultimate goal in life is to make a difference, and children are a great place to start! Growing up my mother ran a tutoring program out of our home. This is where I initially learned the skills involved in tutoring. Ever since I wa

Throughout college, I completed two field experiences followed by my student teaching experience. In between my field experiences, I substitute taught in three different school districts. These personal accounts allowed me to examine the similarities and differences within grade levels, and to recognize the various strategies used to reach all learners in both suburban and urban settings. Being out in the field also enabled me to further enhance my ability to communicate well with students, parents and faculty. My studies abroad in Seville, Spain are also an essential supplement to my educational training and background. Being immersed in a foreign language and culture is an experience all its own. Last year I taught 3rd grade at Salida del Sol Elementary in Yuma, AZ. Many of the students that I taught were English Language Learners. I felt that I could relate to those studen

As the 7th Grade English and reading teacher at Robison Middle School, test scores on the state-mandated proficiency exam improved by 24%. After one year of service, I was asked to be the Chair of the Reading department. As the instructor for Read 180, I developed students' reading abilities who were far below school and district standards. Using a set curriculum based on computer, large group and small group discussion, I balanced classwork and themed topics to assist students in overcoming reading difficulties. I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely. I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situat

Although each child has his or her own style of learning, I believe in bringing out their highest potential by feeding them with the kind of construcive criticism and positive reinforcement that motivates every young mind. I am patient, respectful and warm. My hope as a tutor is to help students learn more easily by providing them with essential tools they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. In my 20 + years as a student, I have become convinced that a great teacher is essential to bolstering confidence, passion and motivation to learn. I intend to inspire all three. Only four years after immigrating from Belgium to the US, self motivated success and ambition allowed me to graduate Valedictorian of my high school class. I was offered a full ride scholarship to UC Berkeley, the #1 public university in the nation. I was pleased with my accomplishments and proceeded to keep fol

I have been teaching at the post-secondary level for 3 years. Prior to that time I taught classes in Emergency Medical Technician and Cardio-pulmonary Life Support to military Doctors, nurses and medical techinicians. I have been able to develop a great rapport with my students and offer special one-on-one attention when needed to ensure the required knowledge is gained. I have assisted students with medical laboratory procedures requiring unique individual instruction. I enjoy teaching and utilize several different types of styles to keep students interested and desirous of learning. I provide thought provoking questions which require more than a simple yes or no answer. I envoke lecture as little as required to get across the point, but prefer demonstration or class participation. I utilize small groups so that students learn to interact with others.

I enjoy teaching and working with young people. I am a firm believer that students work up or down to expectations--I consistently hold high expectations and enjoy watching students work hard to meet them. Part of the challenge (and joy) of teaching is figuring out how to convey information to different types of learners. I am fascinated by the learning process, and enjoy devising new ways to teach the same subject material. On any given day in my classroom, students will be moving around, participating in discussions, writing, reading, and creating hands-on projects to solidify learning. I am a current high school English teacher, with experience in teaching Journalism, Publications, and middle school language arts. I began tutoring students (middle school and elementary school) during a stint in Americorps (2002), and continue to tutor my own ESL students today. My strength is in teach

I am fortunate to have multiple intelligence. Since an early age, I have been motivated to increase my knowledge base and skill levels. My desires have motivated me to earn a double majored BS in agriculture, an applied science, and a MS in biology. I taught laboratory classes while I was a student. I began working as a tutor in 1999. This motivated me to become teacher trained. I am an AVID certified tutor. I have tutored middle school, high school, and college students in biology, chemistry, physics, environmental sciences, title-I math and language arts, prealgebra, HS algebra I & II, college algebra, pre-calculus. In my tutoring I work with study, organization, reading, and vocabulary development. I get a thrill from experiencing a student achieving the Ah-ha! moment of learning. I employ multiple modalities of teaching, since most students have multiple modalities of learning. My g

A student matriculating through the public education system has a much higher hurdle to cross than I did 20 years ago. The financial burden associated with gaining a higher education and the increased academic challenge can sometime require added time and attention. In tutoring, my goals are to help the student cover as much material as quickly as possible. I encourage a growing student to allow me to help him get over those time consuming problems by saving them for our tutoring session as opposed to struggling, alone. Such study habits help the student prepare for college, while striving to refine his or her study skills. I earned a B.S. in Mathematics with an emphasis on logical thinking. The rigorous course work associated with an undergraduate degree in Mathematics has allowed me to navigate through life's decision-making tree with great accuracy.
