I love discovering each individual student and the way to help them learn. My goal is to help students become inspired by their subject matter so that it can play a role in their lives as well as their test scores. I have led several small groups of teenagers and young adults in Biblical studies at Prairie Hill Evangelical Free Church, several musical groups in practicing and performing, and a summer-long book club at Crown College. In gaining my Associate of Arts degree from Crown College, I also led many study groups on subjects ranging from Chemistry to Physics, English Literature to Creative Writing.

I have taught for over 30 years in a variety of institutions, but mostly public schools. I am conversant in Spanish and have a broad range of interests and fields of knowledge, including English literature, Math, History, Science, current events and Politics. I have taught grades 3-12, and have experiences teaching all income levels and socio-economic backgrounds. I am a laid back type of instructor and use my experience and intuition to create unique learning environments for each student. I like students to express themselves in their studies, and I encourage each student to express their natural gifts. I have a creative mind which allows me to relate to many types of students and many subjects and to use student's natural interests as a starting point for learning new material.

I have a master's degree from the University of Colorado in Journalism and have a lot of experience in the field of journalism and writing. I like to make it fun! It's very important to me that each of my students fully comprehends each of my lessons so I like to make it fun and interactive. I have close to ten years of experience writing, editing and marketing for some of the nation's leading brands such as Nike, Inc., Kaiser Permanente and Proctor and Gamble. I have my M.A. in journalism and love to teach students reading, writing and grammar.

I have assembled a wide variety of experiences during my years of work and education. I have worked as a journalist, advertising copy writer and designer; and teacher of adult learners in the areas of fine art, art history, and garden design. For 16 years, I owned a operated a successful garden design business and, more recently, taught in a local elementary school for six years as a fifth grade teacher, specializing in reading and, especially, writing. I occasionally write for garden publications and continue to create artworks and gardens. My goal as a teacher is to "fit" the material that needs to be learned into each student's character and mindset. Everyone excels at something -- it is my job to find out what that is and how to make that work so that new material can be incorporated. I work to help students achieve their potential and strive to help them feel confident that the

I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized through these experiences that I wanted to help people learn and become accomplished. Later, I decided to student teach in graduate school. I taught three different writing courses over three years, including this past year as a part-time instructor. While I enjoyed my time teaching in a college classroom, I found myself making the most headway during conference time. In addition, I also worked as a writing tutor at MU's writing center. I felt like I accomplished more working with students in this way instead of standing by a chalkboard. I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to fac

My teaching style is collaborative; everyone brings some gift to the table. I never forget to thank my students for giving me the opportunity to guide them on their journey. I try to make learning like a story. I weave real-life examples that have relevance in the lives of my students, and examples from popular culture. My strength is to be able to break down complex concepts into their smallest parts, reassembling them in a way that makes the concept easy to understand, yet doesn't make the student feel inadequate. My experience is generally with high school and adult learners and I also am extremely proficient with online learning and designing curriculum for online learning that uses mobile devices and virtual simulations. My doctorate research is in the interplay between real and virtual identity when we go into an online space, making me very adept at teaching anytime, anywhere.

It is incredibly rewarding to me to see people learn something new. Thus, I make sure the student understands the concept before we move on to a new topic. I understand that people learn at different rates and in different ways, so during one-on-one teaching I try to be sensitive to my student's styles and habits. I am patient and encouraging, and I have a genuine interest in student success. I have always loved French and have studied the language consistently since middle school. Now, with a completed French minor, I have the confidence and ability to assist other students with language learning. I recently returned from a 4-month study abroad in France, where complete language immersion and intensive language classes greatly increased my comprehension and vocabulary. I also taught French at an elementary school during my freshman year of college.

As a researcher in biochemistry and pharmaceutical sciences, I am well versed in the day to day applications of microbiology, biology, chemistry, and biochemistry. I also have 2+ years experience teaching lectures and labs in introductory chemistry, biology, and anatomy. I have learned how to manipulate lesson plans, grade lab reports, grade short answer exams, and execute lectures effectively. I also created an exploratory class entirely on my own through Cornell University's GRSSOP program. I taught this course to an advanced high school biology class. It was well reviewed. I also received an award for the best teaching assistant in the biology graduate school at University of Washington. My style is very application based. I find most students remember material better when they have a story to remember how something works. For instance, explaining how cell biology works and re

The best way to learn is by interacting one-on-one with a private instructor. I found this to be true when I was teaching ESL in South Korea and when I was studying Spanish in Ecuador. The best teachers, I’ve found through my experience in grad school, are those that always offer useful suggestions, are good listeners and encourage the students to learn. In my first position as an ESL instructor in Korea, I taught mainly creative conversational courses with university students, bank executives, government employees, etc. My second institute required a strict method of repetition, conjugation and pronunciation exercises. In each position, I acted as cultural liaison to those interested in visiting or living in North America and I coordinated my curriculum and teaching style to the needs of the individual students. I also taught several private lessons throughout my time in Korea – act
