I love teaching and working with students of all ages. I particularly enjoy watching a student's eyes light up after catching on to something new. I know all students learn in different ways, but I believe most people learn best when they are relaxed and enjoying themselves. I also believe it is important, especially for math, tasks be completed multiple times for the ideas to really be remembered. I believe making students explain the material to someone else is an effective way to gauge understanding. Most importantly, I truly care about students as people.
I participated in ROTC and majored in Math and Physics at the University of Colorado. After college, I joined the Air Force and worked in the airfield operations career field. After two years, I was chosen to become an instructor, where I fell in love with teaching. After separating from the military, I substitute taug ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with all children. During the past twenty years, I had the opportunity to work with very diverse students from kindergarten to 6th grade. Given the right instruction, I believe that all students can learn. As a reading specialist, I have seen students go from struggling readers to confident readers. By working with these students and seeing their lives change; I know I make a difference.
I believe that all teachers should be life-long learners. All teachers should be informed on new best practices and be knowledgeable of current educational policies. These are the reasons that I belong to TESOL and the International Reading Association. In addition to belonging to these organizations, I have continued to pursue new knowledge by attending graduate classes at the University of Kansas. After I received my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 1994, I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. Watching a student light up after learning how to do something is the greatest thing for me. I believe children can learn and be successful but each in different ways. I believe we as teachers must use differentiated instruction to help all students learn. My students learn immediately that I care about them and desire for them to be successful learners. I ask them to do their best in everything they do and believe in themselves. We celebrate even the smallest achievements in my class. Learning can and should be fun with just a little imagination on my part. I believe we can help all students achieve if given the appropriate environment, tools, and experiences.

More About This Tutor...

I have two children of my own and understand that all people learn in their own way. I have proven success with helping children find the way to learn that works best for them. Both of my kids are in the talented and gifted programs at school. I am patient but firm and do not like to waste time or money. I love to watch a person figure it out and see the confidence building smile when the ideas finally start to click. My goal is to teach a person to learn on their own, think on their own and realize that they can accomplish anything once they learn how.

More About This Tutor...

I have always enjoyed working with children, especially in a school setting. I am very good at working one-on-one with people and tailoring my communication and teaching style to best fit the student or listener. I am very keen at ascertaining the needs and personalities of many different people and I am very patient and adept at listening. I enjoy seeing a child's eyes light up once he or she has grasped a difficult concept or conquered a tough subject. I believe that education is one of the most influential forces in shaping a child's development and I love to get the opportunity to be a part of that.
I have been tutoring for many years with different kinds of children. To begin with, I tutored my younger sister starting when she was about seven years old to age twelve or thirteen. In high school, I also volunteered for an after-school program for Hispanic children ages sev ... read more

My love for children and determination to their success had led me to make a difference in their lives. I am patient, understanding and open minded. Life is a learning experience, I believe that each child has more potential to succeed later on in life with a better education.
As a Kansas State graduate, I was able to earn a college degree which had allowed me a better understanding of the world we live in. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Geography and Geographic Systems Information. In addition, I have spoken French since a younger age due to the fact that it is one of my native language. I have also taken Graduate French courses while in college to reinforce my grammatical and writing skills.

Through all of my work related experience, teaching has been the one thing that I loved and felt completely comfortable doing. I believe that every child can learn, but that they often need individual attention and a variety of strategies and techniques used in order to find the one that fits. I teach most often in an investigations approach, learning through experience and experimentation. I believe this hands on learning helps to cement information in a person's memory.
I tutored a fellow student in Finite Mathematics during college for one semester. I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology, working hard to finish my degree in three years. I recently took online classes in order to achieve my Masters of Science in Education.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with many different types of learners so it is not difficult for me to pinpoint what learning styles they have. As a teacher, it is my job to communicate effectively and conform to a student's unique qualities in achieving academic successes.
I enjoy every aspect of teaching. I began in 1987 as a teacher's aide in Georgia. I was later able to return to college to complete my degree in Elementary Education. I have worked as a preschool teacher, elementary teacher, middle school and high school teacher, and I have tutored in Reading, Math, and Science. Much of my methods are based on what I have experienced through the years.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children, and over my many years of being in school I have witnessed all types of teaching styles. When I began teaching myself, I developed a style that allows the children to think for themselves in order to gain academic success. My goals are to provide the student with the critical thinking skills necessary to solve problems and reach their true potential.
Throughout my education, English and writing have always been my best subjects. I am currently a junior at Rockhurst University studying children's speech therapy, and I have 2 years experience teaching English as a second language in Thailand. I have tutored many students of all ages while working abroad, and my experiences have developed into a passion for helping others become better in all subjects.

A Little Bit About Me...

While I was in college, I was a nanny/ tutor for two girls- ages eight and nine for two years. Soon after, I spent two years as a paraprofessional, working one-on-one with emotionally disturbed and behavior disorder students ages twelve to eighteen. At Emporia State University I student taught in Kansas City, Kansas elementary schools for a full year and graduated with honors. Currently, I am a substitute teacher in Kansas City waiting for a full time position this fall. My focal points in tutoring are Language Arts, Social Studies, the arts, and general elementary education.
When I teach, I am very nurturing and I want to make sure that my students are fond of the learning process.

A Little Bit About Me...

I hope you find that I not only have the education and experience to be a top-notch tutor with Advanced Learners, but that I also have the ability to work with children and to help them achieve their educational goals. I have taught and tutored in many different settings and I have always found myself to be comfortable and efficient in each classroom. My grammatical skills and knowledge of the core subjects are both more than proficient for the type of employment advertised. I have recently volunteered at Pettis County R-XII as a tutor for Homeward Bound children who had been expelled and needed help after school. I enjoyed the work and the time spent with the children each day.
In the classroom I like to find the balance between high energy learning and thoughtful practice. As a tutor I have found that I am friendly and understanding and that these characteristics help student ... read more
