I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences. I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized throug

As a Valedictorian of my 2001 high school class, I went on to the University of Colorado, Boulder to earn a bachelor degree in Accounting. This degree has allowed me to gain extensive knowledge of how to make use of math after school. Accounting, however, did not make me feel completely fulfilled in my career. I wanted to make a difference in the world and, to achieve this, I feel like I need to teach. I have an alternative teaching license in business and am seeking an endorsement in math. I am currently taking 3 math classes. I am also a substitute teacher. In addition, I have tutored in math and science all through high school. My desires to make an impact on someone’s life have led me to develop a teaching style based on passion. I have become dedicated to making an impact on every student’s life.

I have a very diverse background and have been very fortunate in my path of gaining experience as well as education. In my professional life, I have worked in sales, business development as well as management. In education, my areas of study have been: psychology, interpersonal communication, western civilization, literature and writing, as well as ancient languages, including: Hebrew and Koine Greek. I have taught many classes in these areas, specifically focusing on their integration and affect on the formation of worldview. I love teaching, especially the dialog and relationship that can be developed in its context! I strive to teach in a person relative manner; I endeavor to incorporate learning style, enthusiasm, and positive reinforcement with the hopes of creating an atmosphere of exchange and desire for learning. I have been very fortunate to have had many in my own life that hav

Working with/helping children is my passion. I believe that all children are capable of succeeding in life if given the proper tools and/or guidance. I also believe that each child is an individual and that they do not all learn in the same manner. I make every effort to find their specific style of learning and teach from there. I try to make every child feel successful and take pride in their work and accomplishments. Sometimes, it just takes someone with patience and flexibility to motivate a child to do their best. I have earned two bachelor degrees;a BA in Psychology and a BA in Child Development. I also have an AA in General Studies with the focus on Early Childhood Education. I have been a director of a preschool for 4 years. I have taught in 2 preschools. I have tutored children, below the average reading level, in grades 1-6. I was the Site Supervisor in an elementary age after-

I am patient, kind, respectful, and good-humored. I have noted that my own excitement in learning is contagious. I believe each of us excels in individual areas of particular interest. I support self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others, and I think these qualities and values are self-motivating. I learn, as well, from those whom I teach. Most of my career experience has been in News-Editorial and creative writing. As my daughter and son (now young adults) have grown and matured, I have been involved at several levels and in various paid and volunteer capacities as teacher, assistant/aide, and tutor. My substitute teaching experience primarily has been in the subjects of English, social studies, music, math, and art.

Three teachers impacted my life not only as a result of the content of their classes but in their delivery. All three approached learning as an adventure. Even though the topics ranged from sixth grade mathematics to fluid dynamics each teacher keyed their presentation on the reception of the students. If the first presentation didn’t get the topic across an alternative presentation was made, often in a humorous vein. Students were never allowed to feel inadequate. Many of the students I trained were sent by their employers. So often, the student’s frame of mind wasn’t the most open to the learning experience. By presenting the content in a light-hearted manner, the stress levels were reduced considerably! Hence, we were able to more effectively deliver the desired knowledge with greater retention. Consequently, I prefer a teaching style that puts the student at ease while we

I am interactive and student-centered. I see where the student's strengths lie and build from there. We do homework and tests together, and I move from a coaching role to an observational one, only coaching occasionally as necessary. We work not only on the subject matter, but techniques which improve comprehension, retention, organization and motivation. I have taught and tutored both children and adults in a wide variety of situations, from job training and test preparation to tutoring for a specific subject. I have taught ESL classes and done individual tutoring, as well as both group and one-on-one instruction in grammar and composition. I have tutored for SAT, ACT, TOEFL, TOEIC, ISEE and entrance exams. I have created my own materials for such tutoring but also use books available commercially.

I have over four years of experience teaching and tutoring English to secondary and post-secondary students. I enjoy instructing and developing the reading, writing, and speaking skills of both native and non-native English speakers. I believe that all students can learn and excel in their studies by gaining confidence through building their skills with my guidance. I am committed to growing my students in all levels of knowledge and skill in language arts: literature, composition, grammar, etc. I enjoy creating lesson plans that both challenge and develop the thinking skills of my students. I have genuine concern for students and develop good rapport with them through my teaching style. I am well organized and I have a dedicated work ethic. My goal is to inspire

I am a holistic teacher who likes for students to experience the subject. For example I would have student immerse themselves into the subject of history and complete a project and present it to the other students. It was really successful and had students waiting all year. When working towards my teaching certification I was in many classrooms from Kindergarten to 12th Grade in Pueblo School District 60. After graduation I applied and got a teaching job and I taught at Skyview Middle School in District 49 for 4 years teaching Ancient Civilizations. Before that I was a substitute in District 8, 2, 3, 60, 48 all southern Colorado school districts.

Tutoring the children over the last two years has been the most rewarding work for me. When a middle school child actually gets up, goes and gets a dictionary, and looks up the meaning, pronunciation, and spelling of a word, without having direction from me, it makes my heart sing. Never have I had that feeling before, therefore it is my goal to continue to provide any child with the best tools, a positive mindset, and forward ambition to achieve the best opportunities in life that only an education can give them. I believe it is imperative that people of all ages, ethnicity, and socio-economic status have access to the best avenue to attain wealth, prosperity, and an increased quality of life: an education. It is my hope that when my students leave my class that they feel hopeful, excited, and energetic about their futures. Securing a BS in Political Science was a process that allow

I have found that no matter how much anyone person would like to teach, no one can force someone to learn. With that in mind, if I remember to approach each student as an individual with his or her own abilities, concerns, and goals, I will have a more successful result as an educator. I have learned that each individual has at least one trigger, for want of a better word, which will entice them unconsciously to want to learn. One of my goals is to find that element. No matter how “cool” a student is, most only want to be listened to, I have a talent for doing just that. My introduction to teaching occurred when I was selected by two university departments to be a Graduate Assistant. Among my many duties were the presentation of classes and the grading of papers. As an officer in the United States Army I have been responsible for training and teaching at many levels. As a new lie

As an Ivy League graduate, I have always been driven to excel at whatever I put my mind toward and hold formal education in high regard. Throughout my graduate studies at Columbia, I was part of the Harlem Tutorial Program where we tutored local elementary students once a week and I found this a very rewarding experience that I would like to continue. The quantitative skills in math and statistics that I developed in business school was in additional to the strong writing skills that I developed as a dual political science and philosophy major in undergraduate school. While I was in high school, I also participated in a tutoring program in a nearby community of foster children and remember enjoying this experience very much. As a professional, I have taught various levels of students through the Junior Achievement program here in Denver. I am the daughter of two special education tea
