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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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

My teaching style would be observe the child and then apply a teaching method that feels the best. Also allowing the child to show where they want to go through personal discovery. I beleive in guiding the child when they really need it and then letting them fly. All children can learn, and its personalized education sessions that can make all the difference, informing and empowering the child, parent, teacher and future teachers.
I have been teaching and working with children for the past 10 years in Montessori Schools, YMCAs, church groups, before and after school programs, city summer programs.

I tutored elementary reading (3rd grade) in a volunteer capacity for my company Raytheon Aircraft. I tutored Algebra and General Math in the Math Lab at Wichita State University (WSU) for 6 months. I tutored for the WSU Athletic department in Chemistry and Algebra for 6 months. I tutored Trigonometry/Algebra/General Math at WSU for Operation Success division (students who could not pay for tutoring) for 6 months.
I love to be an encourager and to build children up in their educational experiences. I believe in small portions, using this as a learning tool. To tackle tough learning experiences we take one piece at a time and keep the end in site. I love to help children celebrate their successes big and little. I believe that: children need positive role models to build their confidences while helping them succeed not only in school but also in life. :) I would love to have t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Three teachers impacted my life not only as a result of the content of their classes but in their delivery. All three approached learning as an adventure. Even though the topics ranged from sixth grade mathematics to fluid dynamics each teacher keyed their presentation on the reception of the students. If the first presentation didn’t get the topic across an alternative presentation was made, often in a humorous vein. Students were never allowed to feel inadequate. Many of the students I trained were sent by their employers. So often, the student’s frame of mind wasn’t the most open to the learning experience. By presenting the content in a light-hearted manner, the stress levels were reduced considerably! Hence, we were able to more effectively deliver the desired knowledge with greater retention. Consequently, I prefer a teaching style that puts the student at ease while we ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 substitute teacher, I try to engage the interest of all the students by greeting them by name initially as I welcome them to their classroom. Easing the tension when someone messes up by asmitting that everyone blows it at some point is always a hit. It is understood by all that the day will be different than when their teacher is in the classroom, but that we'll get through together. So, we move through the day making the most of every activity.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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 think good class materials, sufficient examples and explanations are important for effective learning. I believe it is the responsibility of the teacher to tutor students in an interesting and engaging manner. The teaching should show the elegance and beauty of the subject as well as its applicability to solve concrete and real world problems. Teaching is not just instructing or imparting information to students, but it is meant to empower students to take responsibility for their learning. While students must ultimately take responsibility for their own learning, a teacher can often inspire them to learn. As a teacher, I prefer to use my enthusiasm to help students get involved in the subject. Even when discussing hard scientific terms, I explain them with day to day things and analogies making it easy for the students to absorb. I am devoted to getting to know my students, like know ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

More About This Tutor...

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
