Although it took me 15 years to obtain my B.S. in Business Management, I do not view that as a disadvantage. My travels with my military husband enriched my education by enabling me to experience different cultures, and by giving me the opportunity to meet, live among, and work with people of many different backgrounds. I have worked in the Los Alamos school system for the last two years as a Special Education Instructional Assistant, grades 3 through 6, helping children with many types of learning challenges improve their reading, writing, spelling, math, and organizational and social skills. To that two years of experience, I can add 18 years of working with my own child, who had an IEP. Ideally, teaching styles should be individually tailored to the student's needs. The one-on-one environment of tutoring offers an exceptional opportunity to do this! The learning styles of students

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe children all learn differently. I am able to individualize any lesson to meet a child's needs. I have been working with children over the course of the last ten years and am a mother of one. I am a firm believer that children learn though utilizing an array of teaching strategies and techniques. I am patient, easy going, dependable and hard working. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a child with plenty of opportunities to observe, ask questions and critically think in a fun and welcoming environment. I love teaching and learning. I made the Dean's List the entire time I attended UNM. I have always had a passion for education. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education, which has enabled me to teach kindergarten through 12th grade. I also obtained my master's degr

I have worked in both industry and government working on a worldwide basis with people of varying cultural backgrounds. I have traveled extensively in my profession. Over the last several years I have been involved with several business and working extensively with the Native American pueblo communities. In terms of tutoring, teaching, or mentoring I have worked with children of all ages in reading and math tutoring principally as a volunteer. Professionally, my work has been in mentoring young adults and technical training. In teaching I am basically a generalist and humanist. My background is in mathematics and the sciences, but with a solid foundation in the humanities. Practically, I have never stopped learning something new and in addition to my formal credential I have done university course work in languages, forestry, animal husbandry, and sports training. I believe my teaching s

My style of teaching, especially with tutoring, is to find out what kind of learner my student is: tacit, oral, or verbal. Then the lesson style can be geared to that, while leading the student to become more aware of the other abilities and options. Also, it is imperative that students understand why they are learning what is being presented to them. Cause and effect leads to greater awareness and more objective, analytical, and critical thinking. Creating a reason and success in learning, making it practical and fun can lead any child to want to continue to grow in any area of interest, and tie that back to other skills which my not be so appealing at this point in their life. I have taught and been certified in four states. Grades 7-9 is the level I prefer, though I have taught at the Junior College level also. History is my major, and having spent much of my youth on

I have classroom experience at the elementary and secondary level. While working on my AA degree I worked at a high school in a Language Arts class. Earlier in my education process I worked in a 2nd grade and a 3rd/4th grade class. I worked as a sub at the middle and high school level. I have extensive knowledge in all Humanities subjects, especially writing skills. I can utilize a myriad of different methods to meet the learning needs of a diverse student population. I especially like to use methods my students can relate to or connect with their own lives. My philosophy for effective education is comprised of six components creativity, character, culture, civic capacity, shared governance and student centeredness. I believe student centeredness is the trunk and the other components are the branches. Each component is connected to the other and they share common characteristics. For me

I start by making sure the student has a basic understanding, than expanding their understanding and knowledge while encouraging questions and discussion. Classes I have taught tutored and instructed: Accounting Basics Management Wine Appreciation Journal Entrees Structure and Organization AP/AR Theory Correcting Balance Sheets Customer Service Training Chart of Accounts Marketing Excel Classes Product Cycles .

It is important to assure the basics are laid out for a solid foundation for the understanding and learning to build upon and from.

I have worked with students of all levels and educational needs. With my 4 children and 4 grandchildren, I have elementary, middle school and high school experience. As a teacher at a Job Corps for 7 years, I had the experience of working with non-traditional students. At Job Corps, I taught reading, developed writing skills/creative writing curriculum, and tutored students in math, health and GED prep. As a self-employed consultant for the past 6 years, I have assisted adults in various higher education programs and computer software training. My teaching style is very flexible. I believe that a learning/tutoring program must be structured to the individual student's needs and build upon his/her strengths. Both the student and the tutor must work as a team to determine the goals of the program, set the work guidelines, establish milestones, and structure the style of the sessions.

I earned my bachelor of arts degree in English with a minor in secondary education and professional writing certification from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007. I taught 10th grade English and Literary Strategies II, which demonstrates my proficiency in the language arts. English 10 focuses on students' skills in literary analysis and writing analytical essays whereas Literary Strategies II helped struggling readers with synthesis, metacognition, and specific reading strategies. Teaching is not only my career, it's my life. I strongly believe in Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences which states that there are eight different pathways to learning; as a result, I rely on kinesthetic, spatial, and musical intelligences to present new information. I make my expectations clear to my students, and my students clearly state their expectations of me. I advocate and

I have about 10 years teaching experience in both the middle school and high school level. Some of the subjects I have taught include American History, World History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, and Earth Science. For the last 6 years I have been teaching primarily mathematics courses: Pre-algebra, Algebra I & II, Geometry, and Pre-calculus. Because I had to take many courses for my master’s degree, I also have excellent skills in writing term papers, reports, and papers. Since I have graded and read many papers, I know what teachers’ expectations are for papers and what makes the difference between an “A” paper and a “B” paper. I desire to see every student succeed in life. Succeeding in school is a big part of learning to become successful in your life. Not so much the individual grades that a student gets, but learning responsibility, perseverance, goal-setting, an

For the first three years out of the university, I was a school librarian, and was board certified K-12 by the Washington State Board of Education as a result of this experience. From 2006-2008, I have been tutoring writing at Northern New Mexico College, from 4th grade remedial level through college papers in all subjects. I am presently working in an Upward Bound program for 9th graders, to help increase their study skills. I believe that students need to be challenged. When they are highly challenged, they really produce. In my tutoring experience, my students' test scores rose two grade levels in ten weeks because they were challenged. Previously, these students were thought to not be able to speak, read, or write English, and were pre-testing at very low grade levels.
