Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Loma, MT

I absolutely love teaching and working with all children. I know from my education classes that children can learn in a variety of different ways. I personally believe that each child has a learning style all their own and it is up to us as teachers to tap into that style and help the student succeed. My goal is not only to provide the best education possible but I also hope to make a difference in the life of the student. In my own personal experience, I know that educators are some of the most important people in a child's life and I know I can help the child love to learn. As a man passionate about reading and grammar, I was driven to achieve a BA in English from Montana State University. Along with my BA in English, I have taken many education classes with the hope that one day I would become a high school english teacher. In addition, I have extensive experience dealing with c

I have always had the desire to become a teacher. I realize that every person is different in how they learn and sometimes you have to be creative in how you teach. I am very patient and laid back and I understand that frustration from the student often occurs when learning something new. This is why it is important to have someone there to help them ease those frustrations so that they can continue to learn. This is my goal when I help out others. Growing up I always had a love for math and science. This drew me into the field of engineering. While earning a degree in Electrical Engineering from Notre Dame much of my time was spent in study groups and helping others understand areas they had trouble with.

Since a mathematics class can often be draining on a student; I try to counter this with my own passion for the material. Students will find that I am easy to get along with and yet, serious about the material. I believe a lot of difficulty can be found when a student tries to just memorize methods without understanding the reasons for the methods. As such, my focus is always on the concepts. Whenever possible, I encourage students to do their homework. Often the best teaching opportunities come when students get stuck working on their own and come with specific questions. When I entered Northwester College, I had the intention of pursuing a degree in Engineering; however, I quickly developed a passion for mathematics. After finishing my B.S., I moved out to Bozeman, MT to work on a Masters in pure mathematics. While in the graduate program I was privileged to teach one class per

While attending The Ohio State University, I majored in Animal Sciences and minored in both Life Sciences and Farm Management. The coursework I completed has enabled me to gain an understanding in many different areas of science and some math. During my junior year at Ohio State, I served as a teaching assistant for the Animal Nutrition course in the College of Agriculture. I received my Masters of Agriculture at Colorado State University and became very skilled with writing research papers, essays, and reports. Getting my Masters degree also further increased my knowledge of the agricultural sciences, accounting, and economics. I really enjoy interacting with students; when I am working with students, I like to teach in a way that allows the student to participate and provide contributions. Having been a student myself, I find that I learn best when the learning experience is interactiv

I love to work with high school and middle school kids. My teaching style is firm in the sense that I will not do work for the student. I am casual in the sense that I prefer a one-on-one atmosphere to learning and a conversational approach to synthesizing ideas. I am concerned for students beyond their grades and truly hope to help kids succeed. I have worked for the last six years on a volunteer, part-time, and full-time basis with a non-profit youth organization called Young Life. During that time I have been intermittently substitute teaching and tutoring with public and private high school and middle school students. I am also a middle school football coach and have served for two seasons at East Middle School in Great Falls, MT. I have a degree in History from montana State University and am currently taking graduate classes part-time. As a history major I have developed skills in

I am very easy going and am approachable for children of all ages and delays. I try to get to know the child and capitalize on their strengths and make their weaknesses less pronounced in their work. You may notice, I am sure that I am not a good speller, been a weakness since I started school. I try to do my best and rely on spell check. I also have disgraphia, which is related to vision and hand coordination, which has me thanking the stars for the computer as my handwriting isn't pretty. I have my issues as does everyone and learning styles need to be understood and focused on for whatever age of student. I started my career in education working with special needs children in a local special ed classroom. From there I returned to school and achieved my BA in Elm Ed. Due to cutbacks in the local school district I looked into employment with an early intervention provider for childr
