I currently hold no experience with tutoring, but I am an Elementary Education major still pursuing my degree and would love to start teaching. I am a patient person, and I would prefer to work with children on Elementary subjects because it is specific to my major. Although I have no current experience with tutoring, I believe I have the ability to help you with whatever you may need.

I absolutely love teaching. I love the feeling I get when teaching and that one child that has had trouble finally gets that ah-ha moment, where everything clicks. It's amazing to see that glow and excitement in their face. Every child deserves a chance. It is hard to give one on one teaching while in a classroom but through tutoring each child can have that and learn by hands on experience. I want my students to know that there is someone out there that does see and believe that they have the potential to do anything that they set their minds to do. I graduated from a private college in Jackson, Ms.where I majored in English . I have four children of my own. For the last 10 years, I worked as a Subsitute Teacher and as a Reading Tutor while my children were in school.I taught low income poverty first grade students with reading disabilities for one year.

I love working with children. I have taught Sunday School classes at various age levels. I believe that each child is different and learns in his/her own way on his/her own time-table; therefore, I work with each child differently depending on their needs. I try to teach in a way that the child can understand and grasp the concepts of grammar, writing, and reading. I graduated with a Bachelor's in English from Troy University Dothan in December 2009. Since I opted for a Bachelor's in English rather than a Bachelor's in Secondary English Education, I took more writing and literature classes. In all of my English Literature classes, I had numerous writing assignments that helped me learn how to write. I also took writing and grammar classes which helped improve my writing skills tremendously. I tutored when I was in Jr. High School. The student I tutored was learning how to read. I enjoye

I love to see the glimmer in students' eyes when they understand information and make the necessary connections. My first priority is to encourage students in obtaining the self-confidence for mastery. I believe that all some students need is a few successes to make a drastic difference in their performance. I teach students to view information in a new light, with new understandings, that is comfortable for them and that they can recall. I am patient, considerate, and challenging. I do not settle for anything less than the student's best and will allow them time to develop it. As a college graduate with two degrees in business and working on a graduate business degree, I have found myself useful to many students at the college and high school levels. I have tutored many business subjects at the college level and math and language subjects at the high school level. I have a passion for l

In class, I prefer a relaxed atmosphere, with emphasis on each student as a person, not inferior to the teacher, just not as yet knowledgeable enough to teach the subject at hand. In life, these students under my care at the moment may be wiser than I am in many ways regarding many things, but in the classroom where I am the instructor, I am the one in charge. Respect for the teacher and respect for the student is vital in having a well organized classroom, but a friendly atmosphere is just as vital to the learning process. Students who feel at ease with their teacher learn well and look forward to their time in the classroom rather than dreading it. Having taught in several community colleges, from 1981 to 2000, I have interacted with the young, middle aged, and elderly, having taught and learned from the single, the married, the multi-marrieds, of varied backgrounds, cultures,

As a graduate and substituting, I am driven to become a proud member of the Masters program in Education. I have extensive experience on school improvement committees and after-school activities/programs. I have years of experience teaching grades K-12. I want to obtain the position of tutor where I am able to utilize my 12 years of experience in teaching/guiding children in subjects like math's, English, Science, Computers and arts. I have assisted teachers in all subjects and assisted with Biology which is taught to juniors and seniors who have excelled in the introductory Biology courses. I have learned that teaching is the activity of educating or instructing. It is the process of imparting knowledge or skill. It's about not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. Teaching is about carin

My teaching style has evolved throughout the years, especially depending on the type of student, but has always included plenty of preparation and making sure I know how to work through each question properly in order to explain from more than one angle how to answer. I believe that I have a very outgoing personality that is relatable to many different persons. I have the patience to sit and work through each problem that a student may have until it can make sense to them. While an undergraduate at Colorado State, I taught various levels of chemistry laboratories for 4 semesters, which included both teaching credits and paid work. I spent one year as a graduate student at the University of Michigan in which I taught general chemistry recitation and a laboratory section. I also was involved in a class that was designed to educate future professors on the field. I spent one semester tutori

I believe the teacher needs to create a safe learning environment, explore different learning styles, and always keep in mind Bloom's Taxonomy.(yes, the fundamentals are still important) I prefer to teach students the curriculum, not teach curriculum to the students. Students need a chance to discover, explore and apply prior learning principles to progress successfully to a different level of learning. And finally, the most important... LEARNING IS FUN! LET IT HAPPEN! I started teaching professionally in Tampa, Florida in 1992. I continued to teach in the Florida Public Schools until 1999 before I returned to school to earn my Master's. Now, I teach English to Adults at Wallace Community College, which I have been doing since 2003. I love what I do. When I got my Master's in 2005, I was able to conduct classroom research which enabled me to reach a deeper level in the princ

As someone who graduated with an associates in a scientific field, I know how important it is to be persistant in my knowledge of mathematics and how critical it is for others to succeed knowing the same knowledge that I know about math no matter what the career field. My teaching styles and techniques very with the student and their knowledge of the subject and learning skills. I am patient, willing to listen to the student's(s') needs, and apply those needs in any way that I am able. My goal is the success of the student be beyond the classroom and apply that success above his or her peers. I strive to make a difference.

It is my experience that everyone has the God-given ability to learn. Whatever it may be, we have the capacity to acquire knowledge and skills that enable us to have a better quality of life and to be valuable assets to others in this ever smaller global community. I believe in the conveyance of good moral values not only through verbal constructs but more importantly by example. I am a graduate of Interamerican University of Puerto Rico. Ihave a Bachelors Degree in Secondary Education in English as a Second Language. Through my studies at the University I worked as an English teacher and tutor for an English language course in Puerto Rico, doing in-home instruction and tutoring to students of elementary, secondary and college levels and also to adults of all ages and occupations.

While at Purdue, I studied English literature and writing (academic and creative). I began college studying English education. This gave me experience in the classroom at the observation level. I pursued courses exploring classroom techniques, dynamics, and the incorporation of technology. My minor in Communication introduced me to Associated Press style and improved my copy editing skills. My second minor in Art fostered my ability to approach problems creatively. While I eventually switched my major to English, I have always loved teaching. In high school, I was given the unique opportunity to go into an elementary classroom on a daily basis and tutor students in reading through STRIVE (Students and Teachers Reaching in Volunteer Efforts). In college, I edited my peers' papers. Also during college, I babysat for two boys and helped them with their Kumon (an after-school prog

I am a lover of learning. My love for learning has certainly attributed to my working my way through a Masters of Arts in Teaching. My enthusiasm for helping others to learn has been most heightened; however, through my experience working with students. I have worked in multiple roles at the elementary school level through collegiate level. Every position I have worked in I have loved because of the students. Each person has their own learning needs and own challenges. I love being a part of working through those challenges and finding understanding and success. I find that teaching is as much about getting to know each person, finding there strengths and weaknesses and using those to benefit them in their process of understanding. I like to come up with creative approaches that will suit each individual's strengths for learning. I know that one on one attention, support and encouragemen
