I have a lot of experience tutoring elementary children, ages 6-11. I have a bit of experience teaching middle schoolers and high schoolers, though not as much as elementary. I am currently an Education major with a minor in history. I am also considering a degree in music and English. Generally I tutor in reading and writing. I have some in science but I'm much more in the creative arts field. Helping children get a love for learning is very important to me and I can't wait to help anyone willing to learn.

I have taught private music lessons since 2006. My primary instrument is piano. I have tutored English, Math and Science for the last 3 years. My students have achieved fantastic results. Although I do not teach to tests or scores of any kind, but only to the needs I see in the student, I have been amazed at how quickly t it reflects on their scores, and more importantly, on their self-confidence and motivation. My favorite subject is reading. I am bilingual in English and Spanish.

Performed two independent studies in American and British literature at Kutztown University. Student centered and humanistic, I seek to find the student's ways of knowing and help them to build from their own starting point. I heavily endorse active reading and listening and value discussion and project-based learning. My ultimate goal is to help students to realize that they are often capable of much more than they give themselves credit. Over the last 7 years I have been either working with youth or working to make myself a stronger reader, writer, and teacher. My experience includes two years of work as a nanny, during which I was responsible for scheduling activities, providing sound moral guidance, and tutoring my charge in all of her school subjects. While attending Kutztown University in pursuit of an Education degree I took every opportunity to work with high school students. At

As a 2009 graduate of the University of Texas at El Paso, holding a Bachelor of Arts, with a minor in English and American Literature, and with the teaching experience that I have gained in various fields since 2004, I feel that I am well-suited for this job.

I will also be teaching a Spanish beginners’ course at the History Museum of El Paso, giving evening classes to staff and community members, once a week, during the Fall semester of 2012. I have also tutored high school and college students in Ethics and in Literature courses, and still do so quite often. These positions enable me to provide these students with a “head start” in mastering basic skills. I am challenged to be creative, nurturing and most of all, patient.

I thoroughly enjoy tutoring children on a one-to-one basis because I beleive that students progress more if they get individual attention. I get to see the students' faces light up when they "get it" and knowing that I have made some impact in their lives is very rewarding. I have an MA in history as well as a BA in antropology from New Mexico State University and graduated with honors. I recently finished up the school year tutoring students in grades first through fourth. While teaching at a charter schhool, I also taught and tutored third grade students in reading and math. I have experience in teaching American History to incoming freshmen at the local community college here in El Paso, TX.

For 32 years, I taught a combination of English, ESL, French, German and Spanish to junior high school and high school students. I worked for the Las Cruces Public Schools from 1986-2006, when I left to go work for the Department of Defense in Heidelberg, Germany.

In 2005 I was nominated "Teacher of the Year" by the New Mexico Organization of Language Educators. I love working with students and teaching languages. I use the communicative approach so that students can hear and learn to understand the language they are learning;

I finished my associate’s degree in 1 year. The day I graduated I was asked to join the faculty of the community college. I taught there for 3 years and reached the highest academic rank available to me. In addition to the technical skills required of drafters, and renderers, I bring a high level of artistic training, graphics arts experience and design drafting expertise with me and I use all of it for the benefit of my students I have taught widely varying subjects to many kinds of students. I am best when my students have anxieties about their work. I can always find a way to give the individual student or a classroom full of students ownership over the tasks at hand. That is, I can help them begin to learn and to develop a lifelong practice of learning.

I got my first teaching experience as a lab instructor for undergraduate physics labs and fell in love with the profession. The best part of the experience is seeing the student grasp a concept that they felt out of reach. I enjoy coming up with inventive ways of communicating the difficult portions of math and science. Most of my students benefited from my teaching style which includes many examples and encourages a dialogue approach to difficult concepts. As a non-traditional student I recognize the necessity to create a level of confidence that inspires a student to continue their education with success. I feel that perspectives on learning and my life-experience make me an ideal contact for any student interested in mastering the topics of math, physics, chemistry, or Spanish. I am experienced in the grading and writing of lab reports and other technical forms of communication.

I have earned a bachelor’s and a master’s in English from New Mexico State University, which enabled me to increase my knowledge of grammar and rhetoric. While pursuing my degree I worked as a substitute teacher for the Las Cruces School District during the 2005-2006 school year. During this time I taught a variety of subjects for grades 6-12 and learned from various teachers how to best interact with students. I also have experience editing professional publications for appropriate grammar use as well as a probationary teacher’s license for the state of Texas through Teachers for the 21st Century. During my time as a substitute teacher I encountered students with different types of learning abilities. This makes it challenging to teach concepts to the students since each student learns differently. While earning my probationary teacher’s license in Teachers for the 21st Century I learne
