They graduated from the Independent Study High School University of Nebraska, participated in Running Start and are all college graduates. I was also a 4-H leader for over twenty years and instructed many youth. As a community organizer, I developed public education and outreach programs. This involved teaching and mentoring people of all ages, pre-school through senior citizens. Currently, I am a school nurse for a middle school where I work to assess barriers to student learning. As a teacher, I work to build my students’ self-confidence through positive interactions and effective problem-solving. I believe that every person has the capacity to learn. I consistently adapt my teaching to the needs of the student and look for creative ways to help the student to understand. I reco

I have worked in Mathematics Education for the past 25 years. I worked with elementary and middle school students for the first five years I taught. I then taught high school math for 1 year and have since taught adults at the University level. I spent 17 years at Heritage University and throughly enjoyed my adult students. I now teach for Yakima Valley College and enjoy these students too. I have two degrees, a BS in Math and a Master's in Math Education. I have tutored many students in math also. I also have a 4-12 teaching certificate in mathematics. I like teaching mathematics and have always strived to meet the learning needs and styles of each student I teach. I am a patient person and have seen much success in the learning of mathematics of my students. Students must be given examples of work and then let discover methods for solving problems. Students can go beyond their

As a tutor, I believe it is my job to facilitate the individual thinking processes and strengths of each student. I am patient, attentive to students' concerns, and comfortable with many different learning styles. I do not lecture, but prefer to ask questions that will allow the students not only to master the material at hand but to apply what they have learned to future problems. I have a BA in History with a minor in Archaeology, and am a member of two honor societies. As a history major, my fields of expertise include research, critical analysis, and writing. From 2006 to 2009, I tutored writing in all subjects at a local community college.

I have earned two bachelor degrees, BM in Music and BA in English. Having a high level of ambition and love for learning, I chose to continue on to obtain my Masters in Literature. To this I have added Endorsements in History and Social Studies bringing my total to 6 Endorsements. I have taught Music through an online school for three years as well as substituted in my local school districts for 11 years. Additionally, I was a tutor at Central Washington University for 2 years. I served as a full-time volunteer helping an English teacher at Morgan Middle School for a semester. I also volunteered in English and in Social Studies for an additional quarter. It is important for a teacher to be able to mold their instruction to fit different individuals. It is this student diversity that makes tutoring such a valuable practice at the secondary level. No two students learn in the same way or

I enjoy finding the teaching style that works best for each individual learner. Learning is a collaborative effort, and all individuals do not learn alike. I am patient with frustration, calm under pressure, and am able to create a positive learning experience especially for those who have experienced frustration or failure in the past. I returned to college in my mid-40s to complete a Bachelor's degree, majoring in Biology, minoring in Chemistry and Pre-professional Studies. This enabled me to attain competent understanding of not only the hard science classes, but also to experience writing and presentation skills at the professional level. As a current Biology master's student, I continue to hone those skills as well as pass them on to others. I have many years experience mentoring college students with Biology, Chemistry, and Reading/Writing/Presentation skills. In addition, I home-s

I enjoy teaching all age groups. I especially like working with High School students.Initially, they can be quite a challenge to work with, but once they are engaged they are fully immersed in the topic! I like to be creative and interactive! I was a difficult High School student so I can relate to many that get bored with some topics. I really like to use transactional teaching methods. I introduce a subject and have discussions about the material rather than strictly lecturing.I like to learn what the student can teach me after assigned a reading. Have them go in the front of the room and explain a portion of the reading. It also helps them develop confidence in their public speaking. As an undergraduate student at Central Washington University, I was self motivated and involved in various activities. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in Sociology and BA in Law and Justice.

I enjoy teaching children and adults of all ages, although most of my experience has come from teaching college age kids. I believe that everyone learns in different ways and one aspect of teaching I enjoy the most is working with someone to find the method of learning that is best for them. Once someone has discovered their method of learning it makes the process so much more enjoyable for both the student and myself. I am very patient, easy going and considerate and work hard to connect with my students as both an educator, friend and role model. As a double major in Economics and Sociology I gained extensive experience with both mathematics as well as writing and oral presentations. In my final semester I enrolled in two graduate level classes and despite the difficulty of my class schedule worked even harder to achieve a 4.0 GPA for that semester.

I am extremely passionate about learning and would like very much to pass my enthusiasm on to others. This is why I do plan to return to graduate school to pursue a PhD in education. It is my belief that children of all levels and backgrounds have the ability to learn and should be given that chance. I also believe that children learn in different ways and that it is important to help the child discover which way of learning benefits him or her the most. I am a patient and caring individual who would like the chance to help make a difference in a child's life. In June of 2009, I attained my Master of Science degree in exercise science from Central Washington University. Throughout my collegiate career, I have had many opportunities to use varying levels of math and science skills. In addition, for my Master's degree, I was required to write and publish a thesis and therefore, have experi

I love teaching and love my job. I believe that each child has the will to succeed and it is my job to help him or her to do so. I look at his or her strengths and use those to develop the areas that the child needs the most instruction in. I am positive and patient with my students. I believe that education is my calling and that it is my purpose in life to do the best that I am able to in order to help all students achieve their desired goals. As a teacher of the deaf, my students unique needs are always at the forefront of my teaching. I look at each student as an individual and want to develop their strengths as well as work on their weaknesses. I work primarily on Reading, Language and Vocabulary development, as well as conceptual development in relation to Math and Science. 1984-1985 - Teacher of the Deaf in Lewisiton, ID - K-12 1985-1990 - Sped Resource Room teacher/Deaf
