A Little Bit About Me...

I began tutoring in sixth grade when I voluntarily gave up my lunch recess each day to help in a first-grade classroom. I continued to tutor my peers in high school. After I graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, I was chosen by the Mayor of Bremerton to teach English in Japan for three years. Upon my return to the United States, I immediately went back to school for my teaching certificate in Elementary Education. I also worked as a Para educator in a special education classroom where I continued to use my teaching skills. I’m currently working as a guest teacher for two different school districts, teaching nearly all subjects in grades K-12.
The reason I chose to go to school for my teaching certificate is that I've always been passionate about learning. I think the best teachers are excited to constantly learn new things. My teaching ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a current graduate student, pursuing my master degree in chemistry I am driven to achieve a higher level of understanding during my education. During my undergraduate studies at Western Washington University, I was privileged enough to take part in research and published my work in a major scientific journal. My education and research experience had given me a strong background in math, physics, chemistry, and English. During my undergraduate studies I tutored students in math, physics, and chemistry.
Being a father myself, I am an avid believer in providing our children with a strong education. I believe all children have the ability to succeed at any subject; they just need the appropriate teaching method presented to them for their unique learning style. I am a patient, hands on, thorough educator, allowing my students to discover their own potential in a supportive environme ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Since completing my formal degree training I have worked in several capacities in the field of education. I taught inner-city young adults in Washington, D.C. in all GED subjects. I worked as a Guidance Counselor and Education Services Officer for the Army for eight years. In the past two years I have tutored under the auspices of Tacoma Community College in all GED subjects. Prior to my work with TCC I tutored in the Kid Reach program for three years.
I try to match my own teaching style with the learning style of the student with whom I am working, paying particular attention to language and vocabulary usage. I also strive to emulate my favorite math teacher's ability to think out loud in teaching any kind of problem solving task.

A Little Bit About Me...

In graduate school, I developed a management style, Egalitarian Leadership. The faculty encouraged me to submit my paper to Harvard Business School. Currently, I am writing a middle school age novel. Prior to this, I wrote a newspaper column for two years in California. I also score state proficiency tests for Pearson Educational Measurement, K-12.
It is my experience that an instructor delivers more learning when a student has an interest in the subject. "Inspire rather than require," has far greater efficacy in delivering information. I tend to make it fun, interesting and encourage student participation and feedback. Reward, a basic human desire, engenders craving for learning. As each individual’s qualities are unique, I try to determine if one is a visual, auditory or tactile learner. Analogies often make good teaching aids. For example, if the subject were human cir ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is about relationships, and the bonds that they build that provide trust. I believe that if a student doesn’t trust my intentions and know that I am working towards helping them in a truly genuine manner, they cannot benefit from my instruction. I am also an advocate of mutual respect. Some teachers may believe in authoritarian instruction, but I find it more important to show my respect for my students and then hope that it will be reciprocated. I want my students to learn, and they cannot learn unless they feel safe and appreciated by their instructor.
My first experience instructing young people took place while I was in college, coaching elementary girl’s basketball. This job, which turned out to be amazing and inspiring encouraged me to find a career that would incorporate helping others and furthering my own learning experience. Today, I study secondary education so ... read more

I have also worked with students with moderate to severe handicapping conditions in a self-contained setting, pre-K through 6th grade.

I chose to receive a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts, so I could study many different fields, rather than focus on only one. I was thrilled with reading and literature courses; history; fine arts; sociology and humanities. I have always had a love of reading and I was happy to share the joy of reading when I volunteered my time to help struggling and early readers in elementary school. In addition, I have developed and taught art classes for adults; as well as Sunday School classes for children.
I believe everyone learns best when the subject matter is interesting and engaging to that student. I have always tried to adapt my curriculum to the interests of my students. For example, I found many little boys felt they hated reading, but with the right books, could actually enjoy the experience. Learning should be fun! Progress of any sort should be rewarded. Children’s opinions de ... read more
