While substitute teaching for Palm Springs Unified School District, I was able to travel to different schools and grade-levels and observe the different ways children learn. Here, I helped students with reading, writing, and presentations. As I pursued my Bachelors degree in Journalism I obtained the ability to use two different writing styles, Associated Press (AP) and Chicago Manual. With this knowledge I am able to write clear and concise, use proper grammar, syntax, abbreviation, and punctuation. Of course, I love children. I love fostering a wilting education and making it bloom. There are many different teaching styles that are needed for different children. I am patient, understanding, and compassionate. Every child should be given a chance to learn to the best of their ability. Since I am a visual learner, I believe children are able to learn better when a subject matter is in fr

I love being able to see those who are around me succeed, and I have a true passion for tutoring and helping others. I am energetic and caring, and I love working with others, to ensure that the upcoming generation has a brighter future. I believe that there is not just one way to teach a student a subject because everyone is different, and we all learn differently. I do believe, however, that every student should have an equal opportunity to follow their dreams, whatever they may be, and if teaching at a slower pace or trying different teaching methods is the key, then I will do whatever I need to, in order for them to become very successful. I am currently tutoring the children who attend the same church that I attend, and I have been doing this for two years, since January of 2007. I am also a director for a children's choir, and I teach voice. I am a dancer, actor, and artist in many

I would categorize my teaching as passive-aggressive. My students always will have my guidance from my expertise, along with a fundamental and sound period of instructions that I will provide. However I do assert limits on my students when it comes to trial and error. Those limits are genuinely set within the parameters of the lesson plan. The overall goal for me has always been to complete my lesson plan within the predetermined time frame set, but to do so with a collective and fully comprehensive understanding of my class. Through out my undergraduate career I have held various teaching positions. However the most challenging and rewarding was being a teachers assistant for a college level molecular biology course where I was responsible for holding sections and office hours. I also volunteered last summer as a science teacher in Nairobi, Kenya where I taught grades K-12. During my

Growing up as a student I noticed that most of the teachers in the classroom pay attention to only a fraction of students. This bothered me. One of the main reasons why I decided to become a teacher is to give each student the attention he or she needs. I love being a part of the students' education, and knowing that I can leave a positive impact is a great reward. As a graduate of University of Irvine, I have learned to achieve knowledge through research and inquiry. Researching was a major part of my degree alongside to writing and analyzing. This helps me teach the students to effectively gather their information on the area of their study. Moreover, I have tutored chemistry for two semesters in Irvine through Education Outreach Program. During my credentials, I interned at two prestigious elementary schools. I learned to manage a classroom by myself and plan for different subjects s

Learning to teach at age sixteen taught allowed me to develop my teaching style into a mature and planned method. I have taught dance classes, summer camps, and tutoring sessions. The diversity of the teaching subjects gave me insight into how students learn various material and how, for an individual group or student, a teaching style must be molded. I am an astute tutor who listens to the needs of her students and can be both patient and encouraging, varying my style in response to the needs of those I am with. Paying such close attention to my students responses I have guided many students on the path to success through the means they deemed for me to work for them. Pursuing a competitive major at a prestigious research institution required dedication, responsibility and excellence. These developed attributes lead me to graduate with a BS with honors and distinction in the major
