A Little Bit About Me...

I hold a variety of Montana teaching edorsements: K-12 Library, 5-12 English, Broadfield Social Sciences (5-12), K-12 Physical Education and Health, and History (5-12). Over the last seventeen years I have primarily taught Language Arts and history classes at the junior high and high school level in a variety of Montana school districts and in one in Nevada. I have also been an assistant and head junior high and high school football, wrestling, and track and field coach.
I believe in having all my students understand that hard work and perseverance will help them achieve passing scores in my classes while exhibiting good moral conduct and behavior. My philosophy of education begins with the students being rooted in the fundamentals of their subject matter and consistently achieving higher competencies as they achieve less strindent content standards.

I have educated both college and middle school students, and through these experiences I learned that the key to effectively teaching others is patience. I guide my students but do not do the work for them. Most students have the ability to learn the material being instructed to them. By being patient, I give the students the opportunity to problem solve on their own, which ultimately builds confidence. With more confidence, students seem to learn better. I believe this is the key to mastering any academic subject.
I recently graduated college with a BA in Human Biology, and I am currently in the transition between undergraduate school and medical school. Throughout my years as an undergrad, I have been heavily involved with teaching/tutoring students - primarily through my participation in the Peer-Led Chemistry Teacher program. As a peer teacher, I developed many skills an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in History from Carroll College in 2001. As an undergraduate, I was on the Dean's List for two and a half years; I was a member of the national honor society for students of Catholic colleges and universities, as well as a member of the national honor society for history students. After a two year hiatus from school, I attended the University of Montana School of law, graduating with a Juris Doctorate in 2005. I am well versed in a variety of academic fields and am particularly adept at research, writing, and speaking.
I taught debate and public speaking at Carroll College from 2000 until 2002 and briefly assisted the University of Montana debate program during the 2003 academic year. Both positions required hands on instruction in the basics of rhetorical theory as well as extensive research and writing. A good instuctor is able to sep ... read more

After graduation I decided never to stop studying Law, the Brazilian legal system, different legal systems around the world and international law, both public and private. I became a specialist in tax law, a master in jurisprudence and a PhD in international law. Becoming a professor was only natural and my teasing career began in 1992 or 1993. As a child I learned to speak English and French as well as Portuguese. After that I learned other foreign languages. I am now living in the US and would like to teach again.
I believe in education and don't understand why people don't invest more time and resources in education. Educated human beings not only look different but they are different from within. They are more sensitive, spiritual, mature and stable. It is wonderful to teach young people and see their metamorphosis before our eyes. There's nothing more exciting then to unveil a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

There are many ways for children to learn, and the most effective method that I have used is to establish a basic foundation and then build upon that. My five year old son, Paul, is already reading and writing becuase I have worked patiently with him for the last few years. Simple rewards like a 'high five' may seem silly, but any type of positive reinforcement helps to keep attention focused on the work at hand, and makes children enjoy what they are doing. In addition to my college work, I also taught 9th-11th graders at a charter school for three semesters. This environment was rewarding, as I found the high school students appreciative of my efforts and eager to learn.
I am currently in my fifth year as an adjunct college instructor. My experience includes Art History, Visual Theory and Criticism, and Art Appreciation. As with most lecture courses, my students are ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have 17 years of experience in Elementary and Special Education. My area of expertise is in the area of Reading Intervention. I am experienced in assessment, diagnosing specific deficits, and developing an individualized program designed to meet the needs of your child.
As a seasoned educator, I’ve learned the importance of building healthy relationships with my students and their parents. The key to accelerated academic success is a foundation of reciprocal trust and respect. I believe strongly that it is my job to continually assess my instruction and modify my techniques if the child is not progressing. I have a great sense of humor and kids generally are at ease with me.
