I was born to teach. I believe all children can meet their potential by discovering what their specific learning styles are. I see life through the eyes of a child. I have the ability to incorporate academic concepts through thematics units One of my strongest qualities as a teacher is being able to break down difficult concepts into small steps that students understand. I also understand the frustrations that many parents feel when trying to help their child. I am the mother of two special needs children. Having been a classroom teacher for thirty years I taught many children who faced many and varied challenges with their education. In addition to teaching children I have also taught workshops for teachers and parents. I have been an elementary teacher for more than 25 years; 10 of those years I taught gifted children. My teaching specialties include grant writing with children,

My teaching style is to listen to the student and let them try to work the problem out. If they can't figure the problem out, I give them a similar example to follow and let them use that problem as a model. There is normally a protocol or steps to follow in math. I lead them through the steps using that example. Then they go back to their original problem and normally can do it better. Other subjects require reading like history or economics. I ask them to go back and look more carefully at their reading if they can't get the answers to their questions. In English, I teach them grammar rules and the structure of the 5 paragraph essay. Academic Tutor: I assist students in learning their academics. Some are homeschooling where I help cover all subjects. Others are college students and cover one or two subjects.

My experience with teaching and helping students involve my working as a art club teacher in an after school program. I worked for this program for about 2 years with students in second and third grade. In the class I taught I would encourage my students to try new things and to use their imagination. We did a variety of assignments including drawing, beading, needle work, various arts and crafts projects. This was a great experience for me and made me look forward to teaching more in the future. I have done commissioned work doing murals for a vineyard on their property for advertisement purposes. I also have a degree in Fine Arts with specialties in drawing and painting.

My experience as a teacher has given me the opportunity to teach math, science, history, literature, reading and writing to a very diverse group of students. These students vary in development, both academically and socially, and I adjust my delivery of instruction to meet the needs of all. I continue to work with students who function above, on and below grade level expectations and together we meet or exceed the classroom teacher’s expectations. In following Constructivist methods of instruction, we use class discussion, open ended questions and cooperative learning to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive classroom atmosphere. In my instruction I apply research-based strategies, theories, new techniques, and modern methods of instruction. I put a lot of thought and work in to creating my lesson plans. This can be seen in the detail that I provide on each plan. I pay car

I love teaching and working with all students. I believe everyone can learn, no matter the difficulties faced in the past or present. I educate on the belief that because everyone is unique, everyone also has a unique way of learning. I am available to help your son or daughter to find academic success in a way that is tailored to their needs. I am patient, easy going, and considerate, while still impassioned to challenge and inspire. My goal is to provide the best education possible, not just in teaching a subject, but also helping your son or daughter to learn to grow academically. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and hands on approach. As a graduate from University of Idaho, I was very much driven to reach a higher level of excellence in education, leadership, and support of my peers. I have earned a BS in Chemistry, which has allowed me to gain an understanding

I have 2 years experience in tutoring high-school and college-level math and computer science (programming and database design) while studying computer science in college from 1996-1998. During that time I also taught small classes in computer usage (email and internet) at the Kennewick Senior Center. I later earned a bachelor degree in math at Portland State University in 2004, participating in study groups there. My recent work experience was in help desk, drafting, and geographic information systems. I like to start tutoring students by determining what the student's strengths and weaknesses are and building a strategy from there. When a student doesn't understand a new concept, I like to go through every step of the process with them to figure out where the stumbling block is, using a variety of ways to explain the concept to assess which strategy works best for each student.

From 2000-2004 I taught manual and computerized accounting at Kaplan voacational schools in South Texas.Apart form teaching students during the week, I would also hold tutoring sessions on Saturdays for any student who was having difficulty keeping up or had been ill. During the last few years I have taken continuing education courses in accounting online in order to keep up with the latest changes. One of the courses was the Becker CPA Review which involves accounting problem solving at the college level. Since most accounting books involve a step-by-step approach, I would have to evaluate the student to see what appears to be the problem area in order to get a good solid foundation before continuing into the more difficult areas of accounting. A good mix of theory and problem solving is required for each student on an individual basis. Even though my students were in a vocational scho

Holding a Master’s Degree in Literacy across the Content Areas, I truly believe that that every human being should have the right and opportunity to be able to read.

In my most recent position as an ACP Supervisor, I coach and train teachers daily to assist them in improving their teaching practice. I am passionate about literacy! I believe that everyone has a different learning style and requires a teacher/tutor who can be flexible and adapt to his/her learning style. My goal as a teacher is to create lifelong learners who enjoy learning through a variety of hands-0n activites. Learning is fun and occurs through discovery and problem-solving.My job is to facilitate the learning process and allow the studen

I have a passion for teaching and working with children to help them be successful. I always have the goal to make all the students I come into contact leave wanting to be life long learners. This doesn't go without saying that it is an easy task. It is a challenge I am prepared for. I like to know the goals of each student I am working with and their expectations of where they would like to be. I like to keep track of their work so they can look back and see how far they have progressed. Most people can’t recall their first days of school, but I can.While the fashions changed as I entered each grade, I was always filled excitement.It was equivalent to the feeling you get at Christmas, but better!The present you were getting on the warm August day was a new teacher, a new desk, and new friends. It is those same feelings that drew me to wanting to be an educator.I have experiences in vari
