I am a current high school teacher who loves her job! I earned my Bachelor's Degree at Iowa State University in Secondary English Education, and then a School Counseling Master's Degree at UNLV. I have a strong passion for learning and love to share that passion with kids. My strengths in education are grammar, spelling, literature, and reading strategies. Also, due to my counseling background, I'm a great listener and like for kids to feel like I'm someone they can rely on and trust. I love working with kids and watching them learn and grow. It amazes me every year to see students who don't believe in themselves grow into kids who see their full potential. The light in their eyes is priceless. My approach to teaching is along the lines of the "Love and Logic" program. I believe that when children are offered choices, they feel more empowered to make decisions that are best for their fut

My teaching style is based on the idea that each person learns at their own pace, in their own style. It takes patience and creativity to find the ways that the individual is going to learn the best.

My teaching style is progressive. I believe education should be entertaining, however not entertainment. I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life. My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research exper

I love helping students to become confident and successful in school. I believe that students must play an active role in their own education and it is my job to foster this through creating meaningful lessons to fit each student's life. My patient and enthusiastic nature helps students to feel comfortable in my presence. When a student realizes that he or she is capable of learning in a one-on-one setting, they become successful in the classroom as well. I graduated with a BS in Elementary and Kindergarten Education. While attending college, I gained experience as a mentor and a teacher. I have worked with different age groups in a variety of settings.

I started tutoring in NYC when I was a junior in high school. I tutored a sixth grader and an eighth grader, and helped them with all of their homework. In addition, I created my own problem sets for them to furthur practice their skills. Currently, I tutor student athletes at UNLV. I tutor a wide range of subjects such as psychology, computers, math, and biology. I have excellent writing skills due to the many research papers that I have had to write throughout my college career. I believe that since English was not my first language, I am particularly able to attune to the grammatical rules that I learned in school. I am also fluent in Spanish. My teaching style is somewhat relaxed so that I can encourage my students to open up. When I first begin tutoring someone I let them do things their way rather than tell them how to do something. Then, I tell them that if their method i

My first belief is that you have to make a student believe in themselve. You do this by letting them know that the system has failed them, but together we can bridge the gap of what you need now to get your grades caught up and work backwards to learn what you have missed. I driven to find innovative ways to make them learn, like using coins and other objects like liquid containers. Making jokes about historical events that are so dumb they have to remember. I believe we can change the world a couple people at a time. I am a enthusiastic 21 year old in a 51 year old body. I am able to reach students of all ages and to find out what they require to learn.
