I have no formal experience in tutoring or teaching, however I was quite driven to achieve my goals in Nuclear Physics. My field has enabled me to gain a great understanding of math and science and how they are dependent on each other. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing countless research papers, theses, and laboratory reports, along with essays in other areas of study. My teaching style is more visual than verbal. Math and science are visual arts, meaning one must see and understand a formula before it is to be solved. In my experience, merely obtaining a solution to a problem is not learning, it is the journey from unsolved question to simplified answer is true knowledge.

I am a writer. I am not published, but I have learned a lot in the English language. My experience working with mentally ill kids a hew years ago is a great help. I want to help young people with reading skills. I think that I can do it. I am going to live in Las Vegas, and am moving today. I need work. I feel that I am qualified. I am not an extraordinary... teacher. I need a more ordinary student. I feel that I can help anyone read well... Initially I will be living in The Valley Of Fire. A child must understand what he or she is reading. It is hard to do, especially with the books that are out there. I feel I can impart some knowledge to a student. I can make him or her feel comfortable reading.

I am patient while helping others and never give up on anyone. I enjoy bringing a friendly attitude and a sense of comfort to my teaching style. I believe repetition is key to a person's learning and development. It gives me great satisfaction to help someone accomplish their goals. I have always had good math skills. Throughout high school and college I have taken plenty of courses in accelerated alegebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, etc. I earned an economics degree with a statistics and math minor at Northwestern University. I also had some brief tutoring experience in high school math. Lastly, I have just moved to the Las Vegas area and wish to devote my time to the community's education.

Even before I graduated from NDNU with my teaching credential in English and social studies, I have tutored for several years in almost every subject. I have come to understand that each individual has his/her own unique way of learning. The way I teach is very simple. I explain my teaching style using the analogy of a mother bird teaching her baby how to fly. The mother guides her baby, teaching it, showing it the ropes of life, and when it comes time, the baby flies off on its own with no help. This is quite similar to how I teach and tutor children. I guide them through lesson plans and homework with a helping hand, and when it comes time for them to "fly," I let them go and hopefully they will understand the concept and be able to work individually. When this happens, it is truly an inspiring moment, to be there and watch children grow.

As an education student, I saw many opportunities in that field. I also saw the diversity of learners, and the need for a diversity in the way education is approached. I began to challenge myself by removing limitations like language, and searching for alternative techniques to teaching students of different cultural, socioeconomic, religious and behavioral backgrounds. Through my efforts, I found that to teach is to learn twice over, and that teaching can be beneficial for the student as well as the educator. I fell in love with education, and will never look back! Throughout my career as a student, I have always prided myself on the ability to help others learn. When I was a high school student, I was the one other students would come to with questions, and I always gave an answer with confidence. Then I got to college and began to study Biology. I was so amazed at the broad spectrum o

I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely. I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situations which helps students to retain the information they gain. As the 7th Grade English and reading teacher at Robison Middle School, test scores on the state-mandated proficiency exam improved by 24%. After one year of service, I was asked to be the Chair of the Reading department. As the instructor for Read 180, I developed students' reading abilities who were far below school and district standards. Using a set curriculum based on computer, large group and small group discussion, I balanced classwork and themed

In addition, I am trained to work with children with special needs such as trichotillomania, obessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder and depression. The overall health, well-being and enlightenment of children and their families has been a passion of mine for over 15 years. As a Holistic Health Care Facilitator I understand that it is not just my job to educate children, but it is just as important to educate their parents. For instance, when the entire family has a better understanding of how the body functions more efficiently with the proper sleep and nutrition, then I ha

My four-year venture throughout college has opened my eyes to the world around us more than I could have expected. It has allowed me to become a more efficient communicator with various types of people. I have been involved with children on several occasions throughout my life, though I haven't had 'official' teaching experience. In college I was involved with SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) which is a community service based project centered around teaching and helping children. I was also a Mad Science instructor for kids in summer school, and a coach of a children's hockey team. Youngsters come in all different shapes and sizes, as well as different brain patterns. Being able to communicate and level with children is imperative in a teaching environment. My teaching style would be one of which that is goal-oriented, organized, and clear.
