I like to find ways to make learning fun and interesting to the student. I love to use things they're interested in as a study aid to help motivate them.
I'm currently looking for part time work as I try to go back to school to earn a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have experience in teaching preschool, and working in early childhood education. I have worked with children with learning disabilities and special needs. I have helped teach children to learn to read and write and learn basic math skills.

Essential to learning is an environment that allows students to personalize and experiment with new-found knowledge, to enjoy the learning experience and to know that their instructor cares about their progress. Teaching methods are always tailored to student needs, and to meaningful activities for each student’s life and goals; activities engage students' cross-disciplinary and leisure interests, as well as their unique personalities and learning styles. We learn to “survive” in a second language, to make friends and talk about daily activities; and we learn to raise the level (written and oral) to academic and professional needs in both linguistic and social aspects of the culture.
I have taught and tutored second languages (French and Spanish) and English here and abroad with every age level, (including K-12, university and continuing education classes), have served as Director ... read more

At the outset of the personal computer revolution I sold and supported Tandy computers. As part of the support function I instructed clients in the use of their computers. A whole new world blossomed for me. Teaching clients to use their computers turned out to be a long term and very rewarding experience. During my thirteen years as The Computer Tutor I encountered a multitude of student learning difficulties. By working with the individual students, creative solutions were structured and successfully executed. Tutoring the non-traditional students to achieve their goals was by far the greatest reward. Their resulting change in demeanor was very heart warming. What more can a teaching professional ask? Having a very positive impact on a student’s life and be paid for it.
Three teachers impacted my life not only as a result of the content of their classes but in their d ... read more

My background is in International Montessori Education , as well as psychology. I taught, tutored and trained teachers for 20+ years and founded a successful private school, though tutoring is my favorite part of teaching. I love learning and applying new formats, as well as using the many skills I have developed over time. My experience in teaching reading is extensive, probably my greatest strength, and I also tutored all ages and in the areas of writing, study skills,critical thinking,and perceptual skills.
The first thing I do is create a personal connection with a child and get to know their individual needs, strengths and learning style. Once that rapport is built the child can relax and focus, knowing they are supported and valued. Bringing energy, a love of learning and a sense of fun, as well as healthy expectations, fuels a great learning environment. I also have high sta ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am very adaptive. I accept challenges warmly. I love working with children; I teach at my church at the elementary level weekly. I also enjoy working with adults in a non-threatening way. I am a patient person and know that learning can be fun if presenting correctly.
I have recently retired from the U.S. Army as a medic. During my service, I was frequently responsible for both formal and informal teaching and training. I learned to easily adapt to various learning styles, learning barriers, and researching subjects. While still in the service, I utilized my lunch breaks and evenings to further my education and emerged with my AA and completed Nurse Assistant training while still serving and my BS only one year later; two months after retiring. Currently, I am working on my MS in Health Promotion with a certificate in Disaster in Public Health. I am capable of producing ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with children in one capacity or another for over 20 years. I love to help children achieve their educational goals and to succeed in any way possible. I enjoy watching a child's face light up when they have accomplished something that has been a challenge for them. It is a joy for me to spread the gift of knowledge. All children can learn to full potential if given the attention and opportunities necessary.
I graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Elementary Education with a Reading Specialization. I have taught 2nd grade in the public school system until I had my own children. I have experience teaching all grade levels up to Junior in High School because I have home-schooled my children. I have experience working with different learning disabilities as well; for example, Dyslexia, ADD. I also have 37 years of music experience playing the piano. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Most of my career experience has been in News-Editorial and creative writing. As my daughter and son (now young adults) have grown and matured, I have been involved at several levels and in various paid and volunteer capacities as teacher, assistant/aide, and tutor. My substitute teaching experience primarily has been in the subjects of English, social studies, music, math, and art.
I am patient, kind, respectful, and good-humored. I have noted that my own excitement in learning is contagious. I believe each of us excels in individual areas of particular interest. I support self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others, and I think these qualities and values are self-motivating. I learn, as well, from those whom I teach.

After graduating from art school in 1983, I have worked for numerous screen print and souvenir companies in Colorado, Texas and New Mexico. I was responsible for creating various ddesignsm, mostly cartoons and humour, to go on a variety of different items (picture frames, mugs, etc.) In the 1990 I taught cartooning classes at Trinidad State Jr. College and have written and illustrated 3 books on Colorado history and folklore.
The style of teaching that works best for me is one of "continuous encouragement." I first find out what the students strengths and weaknesses are then focus on how to improve on them. It's slow and steady but seems to work.

As a Michigan resident, I was unable to find sny substantial work in the fiels of Social Work once I earned my BA degree. So, I worked in 3-4 school districts over a two year period before gaining full time work with the State. Eventually, in 2006 I lost my position with the state and again returned to substitute teaching. I enjoy young poeple and giving them a strong dose of encouragement even in brief one-day encounters. My knowledge of social science and behaviors has enabled me to realize a high rate of satisfaction and sucess with each student that I face. Even students who are named as trouble makers exhibit self confidence and control when a mutual trust and respect are established. Strong written and oral communication skills are useable skills needed at all grade levels.
As a substitute teacher, I try to engage the interest of all the students by greeting them by na ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with/helping children is my passion. I believe that all children are capable of succeeding in life if given the proper tools and/or guidance. I also believe that each child is an individual and that they do not all learn in the same manner. I make every effort to find their specific style of learning and teach from there. I try to make every child feel successful and take pride in their work and accomplishments. Sometimes, it just takes someone with patience and flexibility to motivate a child to do their best.
I have earned two bachelor degrees;a BA in Psychology and a BA in Child Development. I also have an AA in General Studies with the focus on Early Childhood Education. I have been a director of a preschool for 4 years. I have taught in 2 preschools. I have tutored children, below the average reading level, in grades 1-6. I was the Site Supervisor in an elementary age ... read more

When working towards my teaching certification I was in many classrooms from Kindergarten to 12th Grade in Pueblo School District 60. After graduation I applied and got a teaching job and I taught at Skyview Middle School in District 49 for 4 years teaching Ancient Civilizations. Before that I was a substitute in District 8, 2, 3, 60, 48 all southern Colorado school districts.
I am a holistic teacher who likes for students to experience the subject. For example I would have student immerse themselves into the subject of history and complete a project and present it to the other students. It was really successful and had students waiting all year.
