At the University of Illinois at Chicago I earned a bachelor's of science degree in electrical engineering and worked as a teaching assistant for three sememsters of graduate school. After leaving the university I tutored former students from my labs in math, science, engineering, and programming. I did this as hobby. I enjoy working with students. I am currently helping someone working on a master's degree in computer science. I love teaching. I always get well prepared before I sit down with someone. A couple of hours of preparation beforehand can make the difference between a tedious, unproductive experience and one that encourages the student and makes the excited about learning. I try to help with sticking points and not to lecture. I have discovered that people tend to remember answer to their questions and if I try to explain a deeper meaning it will only bore them and mak

I believe it is very important to be constructive and patient when it comes to teaching. I believe that I am thoughtful, patient, considerate, and compassionate when it comes to teaching. I feel that it is extremely important not to give the student all the answers, but to assist them so they are able to use reasoning to figure out the solutions themselves. I feel that it is very possible that one person can be able to help make an important impact in a students' education. As a graduate of the University of Rochester, I have obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. Aside from this, I also have a minor in Economics, as well as a concentration in English. Throughout this coursework I have written numerous research papers and essays, and as a result I believe I have very strong written, grammatical, and reading comprehension skills. I have a thorough knowledge of English and lite

Compasionate and understanding. I like to approach the root cause of the problem. All children have the ability to learn, however not all people have the ability to learn using the cookie cutter approach that most schools use. Patience is one of my key attributes. Understanding the child is key to success as a teacher, and I try to follow that rule at all times. I also believe that organization and routine help continue good study habits into the future. I look forward to working with you and your children! I have a tremendous amount of experience working with children of all ages. My passion is teaching and counseling. I have taught in the Head Start Program and at a DOD school in the special education preschool. I have also worked with parents on parenting skills and helped them to better assist their children in learning. I also have knowlege and experience in foreign language

As a recent college graduate, I have a fresh idea of what goes on in the mind of a student. I know that there are various techniques that work best for one student over another and an educator must be flexible in molding their teaching style towards these strengths. I have found in my classroom experiences that in order for students to reach their full potential they must have interactions with an educator who shows flexibility, enthusiasm, and an all around interest in the students success. I have a great enthusiasm for learning and spreading knowledge and I try to transfer this enthusiasm to all my students. I make every effort to ensure all my students learn in an environment where they can successfully work towards their learning goals. In being a student the majority of my life, I know what it is like to have educational goals and to work towards them. I have attained 2 bachelor deg

Becoming a teacher has been one of my life's passions. I have earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Adolescent Education and Mathematics and am currently working on a Master of Arts degree in Education, Curriculum, Instruction, and Mathematics. I have experience in teaching an array of mathematics classes from 7th grade Math up to Calculus and College Algebra. I also have skills in literacy and writing due to the extensive time and effort I have put in for my masters program. In the last eight years, I have helped out in a 4th grade special needs classroom, spent countless hours tutoring math, english, and even some Spanish, and taught middle school, high school, and some college-entry-level mathematics courses. I have put a lot of thought and effort into my teaching style. I love teaching and love working with all types of students. I believe in learning through a hands-on approach and

I believe children learn best when they can form a connection to their school work. Writing skills can be improved by using topics that are relevant to the student's life. When working on Reading skills I often use high interest topics such as the arts, sports, computers and science to encourage students to excel. Math can also become more meaningful by using real life situations and manipulatives. It is my goal to increase students' self esteem by providing situations in which they can succeed. During my 23 years of teaching I implemented Kindergarten through 6th grade New York State curriculum in a classroom setting. I attended workshops that focused on computer education, Multiage classroom and positive discipline.

I went into teaching because I enjoy working with children. I do not think of teaching as a job. It is very rewarding to me that I can help children understand complicated material. I make things simple and use things that they already know to build on to get them to understand the material. I like to teach the children pneumatic devices to help them remember the material1. When I instruct the students, I make sure to teach the different learning styles among the children and abilities. Howard Gardener (1983) came up with a theory that there are 8 different learning styles and Carol Ann Tomlinson (2000) came up with a theory called Differentiated Instruction. This is using multiple ways of instruction to ensure that all students are able to learn by the way you teach them. I use many different kinds of assessment as well. I always try to make my lessons as fun as I can to make the studen

Both of my parents were teachers and I find myself sharing my knowledge with anyone who seems to need it. I have instructed the ladies in my craft group, answered questions posted online, and tried to instill some basic computer upkeep knowledge in the people who've asked me for help with their personal computers. I loved explaining the world to my children and I miss the joy and wonder of a child who has just understood something for the first time. Although my BS degree is in Computer Science, I have taken (and passed!) courses in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Engineering - which means I have learned a lot of advanced math. My work as a software developer required writing "white papers" to explain and describe our software as well as test documents that would allow a person unfamiliar with our software to sit down and formally test it.
