I have always loved learning. Reading and writing have been two of my primary hobbies since childhood. Still, when I was in elementary and high school, there were times when I felt that the educational system was lacking. I am not alone in this experience, and I have observed countless students flourish with a level of personal and individual care that is unavailable in a standard classroom environment. As a result of my ardor for both teaching and learning, while earning a master of divinity with an emphasis in counseling, I have spent my evenings tutoring professionally. I have earned certifications in math, English grammar, reading and composition, ACT and SAT test preparation, and organizational study skills. I have had the privilege of working with a large variety of students. I have helped young children learn how to read for the first time, and mentored innumerable high

Have taught many workshops for adult students, and have been a returning student myself. Can help with both the process of going into the education process again, as well as with organizing adult education courses. I am extremely patient and clear. In my mind, there is no such thing as someone who cannot learn; it is my job to adjust my teaching style for multiple learning styles. Because I also have experience working with special needs clients as well as clients in rehabilitation, I am especially capable of dealing with more challenging learning situations. I am also take a rather lighthearted approach, and try to make the process as fun, yet as precise as possible, with markers for different points in the learning process. Most have really enjoyed my teaching approach as well. Have been tutoring for twenty years, and have also taught on a college level for ten. I have taught in a vari

I engage with a new student for a relationship. I inquire regarding their expectations, concerns, fears, and hopes for tutoring. I then explain my tutoring philosophy. Then, I ask for a diagnosis of how well they are performing the course material subject, and how I can help them best in the first session. I have tutored university, college, and high school students for 15 years with great success. I can help you any math from basic math, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, or even business math or applied math.

I have always loved traveling, learning about different cultures, history, ideologies and of course food and have traveled to over 16 countries and lived in 5, Germany, Israel, Egypt, Turkey and most recently México, where my Spanish speaking and ESL teaching journey began. I have significant experience in Mexican culture from teaching English for 5 1/2 years to learners of all ages from young children to adults. I have experience teaching all subjects in bilingual primary schools and English Literature for a year in a private IBO (K-12) school in Querétaro, MX. The subjects that I taught to adults included conversation, Basic English literacy, Business English, and TOEFL preparation. While living abroad, I experienced firsthand the struggles and daily frustrations of not being able to communicate my ideas, feelings or simply ask for directions or order from a menu at a restaurant.

I have taught for over 30 years in a variety of institutions, but mostly public schools. I am conversant in Spanish and have a broad range of interests and fields of knowledge, including English literature, Math, History, Science, current events and Politics. I have taught grades 3-12, and have experiences teaching all income levels and socio-economic backgrounds. I am a laid back type of instructor and use my experience and intuition to create unique learning environments for each student. I like students to express themselves in their studies, and I encourage each student to express their natural gifts. I have a creative mind which allows me to relate to many types of students and many subjects and to use student's natural interests as a starting point for learning new material.

My teaching style is guided by the student, curriculum and situation. It is crucial to evaluate where a student is in the learning process, understand how each learns best and be clear regarding course expectations. Developing specific strategies and changing with challenges that arise is essential. I am kind, patient and creative, have high expectations of myself and others, and believe that all people can learn. A key to meeting the needs of students is to have healthy and professional boundaries while creating good relationships; one of my greatest strengths is relating to students on a personal level and then tailoring the learning to this real person. I look forward to being involved with people who choose to learn. I hold a BA in physical education & health,a MA in Reading/Literacy, and am highly qualified and certified to teach English/Language Arts. I have spent the past 29

My experience in paid teaching (excluding numerous volunteer and non-paid opportunities) range from teaching Vietnamese refugee "boat-people" children (news film footage archived by Vanderbilt University) in 1975 through years of Orange County (CA) adult education in English as a Second Language to my present duties in metro Denver of teaching immigrant adults in English as a Second Language. Along the way, I also experienced fulltime day teaching of a kindergarten class in Fresno and a combined 7th-8th grade moderate-to-severe special education class in Inglewood, California. My teaching style could be described as modified Montessorian, in an attempt to appeal to all the senses, and to affect the learning channels of each student as a unique individual. Encouragement is lavished on even the adult students, and not all errors are equally vital to correct on an immediate basis. One obser

Each time I have taught a different age-level I have sought to accommodate myself to the learning style of that particular level, whether psychokinetic for kindergarten and preschool, audio-visual for lower elementary, or verbal-phonemic for upper-level students and adults. It was in the teaching of adults that I encountered my most challenging situations, and even today the pedagogy is not nearly as simple as would appear at face-value. Reference to Ken Pike's tomes on the fundamentals of tagmemics, James Stanfield's affective pointers for students of various emotional statuses, and even the philosophy of Noam Chomsky on English deep structure, were all consulted early and often and at one time or another throughout my career. I have been involved every year since 1975 in the work of an educator, mostly for pay, but occasionally as a volunteer, either community- or faith-based, in three

In my opinion every student learns in a different way giving his or her own approach to developing an understanding of new unfamiliar knowledge. Also these same students shift their methods depending upon the material being introduced and discussed. It is for this reason that I seek to first try to carefully understand the students learning style and adjust my teaching style to match. Examples: Leaning by example, teacher solves a math problem for the student in a step-by-step approach with the benefit of why the teacher is using these particular steps and approach. Four years tutoring at the undergraduate college level when I was an undergraduate student myself. This includes calculus 1&2&3 and college algebra. Also physics, chemistry and biology.

As a lifelong learner I have a unique perspective on how difficulties inside and outside of school can effect learning. I earned by B.S. in Business when I was 31 years old and I am now in the process of earning my Masters Degree. During this time I have aquired the skills needed to become succesful in learning and I am eager to share these skills with others. My ultimate goal is to instruct college classes to help others make thier stars shine. My teaching style reflects my personality and that is comfortable and confident. Peoples' minds are most open to learning when they are comfortable with their situation, surroundings, and the people they are interacting with. Being confident in yourself will lead to confidence in your students.
