Drawing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Florissant, MO

Once taught a 7 year-old Korean boy Chinese when I was a sophomore---I found being a personal tutor is challenging and interesting, because you should adjust your teaching method cater to the student based on your observation on him/her as well as the communication through all the process. I had provided legal aids as a tutor of a relevant junior middle school--- It makes me more open and confident to give a presentation in the front of more people.

As an artist, I recognize the importance of developing my own aesthetic language. As an educator, I am committed to clearly communicating and imparting these values. Both practices have continually motivated me to expand my knowledge of art techniques and processes as well as the dialogue of contemporary art. A good teacher must expose students to art history, engage them in contemporary art, and allow them to make meaningful connections to their own lives and art practices. Teaching constantly requires me to digest and reference outside influences and disciplines to support student’s diverse needs. Encouraging students to learn from each other and collaborate is an important part of my teaching method. Through this process, students are exposed to diverse perspectives constantly. This also creates an environment that is receptive to formal and informal critique. An investigation

I have also taught art for three years at the Christian Activity Center in East St. Louis Illinois. I developed and taught the art program for the elementary students. My style is flexible according to the needs of the students.

As a tutor, I understand my responsibility primarily as that of helping children reach their potential. I try to help my students understand concepts they are struggling with in primarily three ways. First, I find what their strengths are and see if I can extend understanding of these concepts to the one's they are struggling with. Secondly, I use many examples of a concept to break complex math down into simpler, concise ideas and problem-solving techniques. Third, I try a number of different conceptual approaches to determine which is the most useful for a particular student. As a student at the University of Chicago, I have tutored at the local Ray Elementary school through the Neighborhood Schools program. There, I tutored two fourth grade ESL students, an Italian boy and a Korean girl, primarily in math and reading. I have also tutored at the STRIVE tutoring center, helping a

I have a history of Academic success in multiple disciplines. My Major was an individualized major through the Honors College at Central Missouri State University (now University of Central Missouri). I studied literature, writing, grammer, editing, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and history. I was an assitant editor for Pleiades, A Journal of New Writing, and maintained the high academic standards of the Distinguished Scholar Award throughout my college career. This award was based upon performance in High School and each semester of college coursework, and paid all college expenses. I was a substitute teacher at Odessa Middle School for one semester and I have been tutoring in the arts since High School. Every student can be a successful student. While Academic success may come easier to some, I believe the key is to communicate to each student in a way that

I love working with children and students. I am patient and passionate about educating our future leaders of the world. I am very approachable, easy-going, and professional. I encourage students to believe in themselves, and reach for their highest good -- as knowledge is a character within oneself! I am a current graduate student at Lindenwood University, pursuing my Masters of Art in Education with an Emphasis in Character Education. I received my Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration in 2003. During the past 10 years I have gained valuable professional experience. I have worked for the public school system as a Technology Assistant, at a prominent Law Firm as a Associate Development Assistant, and most currently at the National Center for Parents as Teachers as a Professional Development Coordinator. I would love the opportunity to tutor you or your child.

While attaining my degree I learned many different techniques and styles of teaching, mainly based on the multiple intelligences. I believe everyone learns in different style and it is my job as a teacher to make sure all of the learning styles are being met during a lesson. I believe in coming up with new and creative lessons that keep the students engaged. In addition, I try to make every lesson relevant to the students life. I encourage students to problem solve and discover answers rather then stand and lecture. My goal is not only for students to learn what is in the textbooks but gain confidence, how to think independently, and attain life skills. I completed my semester of student teaching at Center High School in Kansas City in December 2002. Upon graduation I joined AmeriCorps. During my second year of service I developed and taught a variety of subjects related to public safe

Tutored inner-city and disadvantaged students in elementary English and math for 1 year. TA’ed undergraduate finance class, options pricing, for 1 year. Co-lead two Bible studies groups for one year; one of which was composed of students from a primarily Caucasian student fellowship as well as students from an all-Asian fellowship. During my junior and senior year in college, I TA’ed a finance class called options pricing for two semesters. Options pricing was a difficult subject. I worked very hard to receive an A- for the course, which turned out to be my favor. I had insight to the intellectual hurdles other students had to overcome to master the material. So, teaching them came very naturally. In addition, I abandoned the lecture format for a very interactive teaching format. This allowed the students to ask many questions and allowed me to gage the level of comprehension from

I do not have a specific teaching style. Everyone is different, so one particular type of teaching style may not be as effective as another. In order to be effective, I think it is important to recognize the students strengths and weaknesses before embarking on a certain learning path. I have a Bachelor's degree in History and an Associate's in Process Technology. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. I possess excellent math skills and took statistics in college. I enjoy helping others and feel I am a good fit for this position.

Advocacy for the child is of utmost importance to me and working one on one with a child is a huge building block to enable the child to succeed. My attributes as a tutor are found in my gentle, fun loving, creative spirit. I am firm about learning and always follow protocol. I have an awareness and knowledge working with children who have learning disabilities, as both my children have learning challenges. Good communication skills and ingenuity have allowed me success with my students. Patience and perseverance coupled with care for the child are the basis for the tools I use to teach. I have accumulated 92 credit hours toward a Bachelor of Science in Education with an emphasis in Art. Currently I am involved with the Y-Read volunteer program and for the past few years have tutored one on one with adolescent children specifically in Reading and Language Arts.

I have always had a knack for the sciences and left the Midwest to follow my love of Marine Biology. While in school, I revisted my interest in the arts (painting, piano, and animation). It was then I realized I was passionate about so many topics and didn't want to limit myself to one thing! I've worked with kids throughout my entire life, whether I was teaching swim lessons, piano lessons, or tutoring. I took Spanish for 4 years in High School use it every chance I get. If I had the time I would take on degree after degree! Speaking to children of all ages comes naturally to me. My parents both love being teachers and have been in the game for over 30 years a piece! I traveled to schools to give presentations on my marine mammal experiences to grades K-8. I currently work for the Education Department at the Saint Louis ZOO where we strive to keep learning a blast! I believe l
