I am skilled in this area and can teach vocabulary, concepts and applications. An experienced teacher K-12, teaching reading, vocabulary, grammar, study skills, comprehension, math and science at one of St.Louis' local districts who moved on to teach at St. Louis Community College yet remains devoted to personal learning and learning projects. One of those recent learning project was incorporation of technology and personal computers in the classroom. I believe in humor, fun, clear organization, and associated evaluation. I believe in preparing the student for life-long learning because learning is a pleasure, not a chore.

I taught high school biology for two years. I also have tutored both middle school and high school (multiple subjects). While attending the University of Missouri, in Columbia, I was an undergraduate Medical Microbiology teaching assistant and tutored multiple students who were struggling to pass the class.

I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand. It is a pleasure to watch students grow in skill and comprehension and move toward confidence. I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for submission

As a substitute teacher in the Bethalto school district, I feel I have been trained in all of the subjects necessary to tutor students. On a daily occurrence, I teach math, science, english, reading, social studies, etc. My specialties are english and reading. English was my minor in college and is something that has always been second nature to me. I was also a personal tutor for a child in the spring of '08 an fall of '08. His grades improved drastically from Ds and Fs, to Bs. I have a very unique way of teaching. My key to success works on a system of discipline and rewards. I find creative ways to make the most mundane tasks fun to accomplish. I think the number on rule in teaching strategy should be finding a way to make the process enjoyable. I believe most kids that do poorly in school have an incredibly hard time putting their hearts into tutoring. In my professional experience,

My philosophical foundation of teaching reflects on my own learning experiences during my undergraduate and graduate coursework. During much of those higher learning opportunities, my professors utilized a very respectful perspective towards all students, and this background of having role models has instilled in me the importance of meeting the learner at their current level of needing assistance in order to find academic success. Therefore, my philosophy is grounded in the principle that an instructor's job is not only to teach but also to guide, to provide a type of role modeling that implements kindness, compassion, and respect towards all learners. As an ambitious doctoral candidate and highly motivated life-long learner, I am currently focused on academia and all that it entails. For example, I have earned a bachelor degree in psychology and a certificate in trauma studies. In addi

Since students learn in many ways—by seeing and hearing; reflecting and acting; reasoning logically and intuitively; memorizing and visualizing,I provide various guidelines for how I want tasks completed in this course based upon student pool. Students might describe me as a knowledgeable coach who dispenses the fact, principles, and concepts they need and works closely with someone to correct problems in how they think and behave. I give students a lot of personal support and encouragement to do well in their course. As a supplemental Instructor/tutor at UMSL Department of Biology, I facilitate the learning process by explaining concepts and encouraging open communication with students. In addition, I conduct weekly review sessions to integrate how-to-learn with what-to-learn. I grade exams and laboratory reports.

Because science is a "hands-on" subject, I feel it is extremely important to use demonstrations, examples that are relevant to every-day life, experiments and anything else that will help students understand the world around them. I have been told that I have an "out-of-the-box" approach to learning, but have found it to be successful with the majority of students. Classroom discussions are utilized more often then lectures, because when a student plays an active role in their education, they learn more. Over the past 12 years, I have worked in both the private and public sectors of the education community. I have taught grades 7-12 in all areas of science. I have also been the director of a learning center, where I started as a tutor. The years of experience have taught me a great deal about children of all ages and abilities. With each new year, I learn something new about myself

Adaptation and flexibility are the keys to teaching and tutoring. Children have varying styles of learning and each requires a different teaching style. My goal as a tutor is to identify the learning style of the student and adapt to it. I believe that all students have the ability to learn if they are provided with the right environment. I believe in making learning fun. I am a patient; kind and highly-energetic individual who would love to help children obtain their learning goals. Throughout my school experience, I have been a top performer. I attended a "gifted" program in elementary school. I was the Valedictorian at Hagerstown Junior/Senior High School in Hagerstown, Indiana. I received a full-tuition scholarship to the University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana. There, I majored in Economics and was a tutor for Micro- and Macroeconomics students my junior and senior years

My first teaching experience was as a high school senior where I was given the opportunity to teach a small group of 5th graders as part of the Missouri A+ program. We began with division, quickly moving into linear and nonlinear algebra, before touching on the fundamentals of complex numbers, graph theory and trigonometry, before concluding with a derivation of the quadratic formula and its applications. I spent three semesters as the academic chair for my fraternity enforcing study hours for fraternity brothers with lower GPA’s; tutoring students in algebra, calculus, physics, and computer science, among other fields. I have also had five years of experience in Latin up to the college level with one year of Japanese. I believe that every student can meet his or her potential provided that the subject matter is presented in a way that makes sense to them and that any material can be

I consider myself to exert a demonstrator model of teaching, meaning that I help children learn through demonstrating skills and then coaching students to apply these skills. I also focus on fostering self-confidence which can encourage any child to learn new and difficult skills. I try to establish a trusting relationship with each student so that he or she will feel comfortable in the learning environment. I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Speech Communication. I was recently accepted into a Master's of Psychology program, specializing in Research, Evaluation, and Measurement. I have superb communication skills, both in oral and written form. I have informally tutored high school students in mathematics, psychology, and sciences. My current Master's program will afford me even more mathematical expertise, specifically in statistics. I have als

I like to teach by using examples (as many as it takes) and by breaking down difficult concepts into relevant, manageable information for the person I'm assisting. Positive reinforcement is a major part of how I teach. I am a fun, patient person that enjoys helping others, and I am confident that I can help your child meet and exceed his/her education goals. I am a recent graduate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, with a BS in Business Administration - International Business and a focus in Chinese. Because this program is relatively new, a degree in International Business required multiple Finance courses, which allowed me to learn many advanced statistical and mathematical concepts. In these classes, I often assumed an informal tutor role and helped my fellow students understand difficult points. In addition, I trained new employees during my tenure as Lab Manager of

Working at the Nashville Transition Center, essentially a half-way house for children aged 12-18 with criminal and/or troubled backgrounds, my senior year of college changed my outlook on tutoring tremendously because it opened my eyes to the challenges many face. Having been born with Muscular Dystrophy, I'm certainly no stranger to challenges, however I had never seen individuals who were never really given a fair shot to succeed in my eyes. Once I realized that I could be the one to help these children reach their goals, it immediately changed my perception. I've always been very easy-going and empathetic and I feel that these are my two greatest strengths as a tutor. Using these strengths along with my sense of humor I attempt to form a connection with my students. It’s only through a genuine connection between student and tutor that one can get students to believe in themselves

I believe that one of the most important aspects of a successful teaching relationship is understanding both the student's personal learning style and what motivates him or her. I care deeply about the success of the students I work with and am able to adapt my teaching techniques to meet each student's personal needs. I strive to not only give my students greater knowledge, but greater confidence as well. I do that with the hope that our sessions not only help them to develop in our areas of interest, but also help them to become more successful students overall. After graduating from Duke University with a BS in Economics and a Minor in Psychology, I moved to New York City to work in a large financial institution. During my two years there I volunteered as a mentor and tutor to a 7th/8th grader, a college counselor to a high school senior, and a career mentor to a middle aged woman who
