I worked for six years at William King Museum, where I developed and taught art curriculum to students Pre-K through 12 and trained instructive staff in our 12 programs. I served as a traveling classroom instructor in our 14 district service area where my presentations consisted of one-half hour of historical/cultural content and one hour of hands-on art. I utilized my knowledge of literature to enhance various art projects. I have worked with young children on their reading skills and in understanding themes in literature. I am competent in grammar and composition. As you may gather from my first undergraduate degree in English literature, I enjoy the written word and am familiar with both American and English literature. Each of us has his or her own learning style. I prefer to parallel the student's own interests with the topic taught in order to best engage their enthusiasm and enhan

I tutored four different children (1st-5th grade) over the course of four years for the Teton Literacy Program, a non-profit group located in Jackson, Wyoming. I met with each child after school at the facility or the local public library for hour-long sessions, working on grammar, pronunciation, and writing, focusing on each students' strengths and weaknesses and helping them catch up to their appropriate grade level as well as building their confidence. In addition, I worked on the I-CAN book project, through the Literacy Program, coaching a second grade class with the creation and assimilation of a story book. I enjoy helping children master elementary skills that are the building blocks to their reading comprehension and finding ways to encourage them to read more books and to realize the significance of expressing themselves through writing. I enjoy finding the best way that each st

Working with youth is a great passion of mine. I want every child to be successful. I strive to help students reach their short or long term goals by being a positive role model, and supporting their efforts to achieve their goals. I am friendly, honest, and very caring. I understand that all children learn in their own unique way; therefore, my approach to each child is different. My goal is to help the students that I work with to grow and become productive citizens. As the son of a teacher, education has always been an important part of my life. For the past 25 years I have had the pleasure of working with youth in many different capacities. I have coached, mentored, tutored and taught all ages. After receiving my teaching certificate in 1998, I spent a few years working as a substitute teacher teaching in all subject areas for all grades. In 2001 I began teaching Physical Education

I enjoy taking what I know about a subject, weighing what my student's learning style is and then tailoring a lesson so that student best understands the material. I welcome the moment when the lesson "clicks" for the student and when subject matter on paper or in a book becomes personal knowledge. To me, the true skill and knowledge of a teacher can only be quantified in how her student apprehends and applies the lesson. There is a world of difference between those who are regarded as experts and those who can take their knowledge and make it available to others. While I do seek to be an expert, I seek even more to help those around me become knowledgeable "peer learners." While an undergraduate student at a top university, I pushed myself academically. I also focused on trying to help people by teaching resume writing and job interviewing workshops at my university’s Career Develo

I believe that all students deserve a chance to be successful, and my teaching goal is to find ways that allow them to be. I understand that success comes in many forms, and I believe even the littlest successes should be praised to help build up a child's academic attitude. I treat all students with respect and expect that they show me respect in return. I am extremely patient, positive and hard working. I love teaching, and hope that I can help those that I work with reach their full potentials. In 2006 I attended Pacific Lutheran University earning my masters degree in educational leadership with endorsements in special education, reading, and elementary education. After graduate school, I found a job in a middle school EBD classroom. Here I designed my own behavior management program, managed education plans, and created lessons that were exciting and engaging for my students. I wor

I have taught school for over thirty years, including several years as working in a Random House Reading Lab while working as a Teacher's Aide. I am a published author,have worked a few years as a highest-paid stringer for the Kodiak Mirror as their religious writer, and have taught students from kindergarten through ninth grade. Also I have substituted in high school. I can teach all subjects in primary grades, and Language Arts in higher grades. I have been described as a shotgun teacher, tossing information both above and below level to each student, so that those overachievers may always be challenged, and those who are struggling may without embarrassment pick up missed information. I am considered quite capable in the area of discovering basic learning blocks that have been missed. I use games and fun activities whenever possible, since the human mind retains best that which it

I write with great enthusiasm to apply for the position of Tutor. I recently graduated from Gettysburg College Magna Cum Laude earning my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and Neuroscience. I have previous experience working as a Clinician/Tutor for Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes, providing one-on-one instruction to students and implemented programs that provided effective treatment for dyslexia, hyperlexia, autism, and other learning disabilities. Further, I have years of experience volunteering as a tutor, instructing students of all ages (including high school) in various subjects. I have found that tutoring sessions are most effective when they are fun! Many students find it difficult to stay focused, especially after a full school day. For this reason, I prefer to change tasks frequently and use a variety of fun games to switch up the pace of the session. Learning can be f

While it is my belief that all students have the ability to learn; I also understand that academics can be difficult. It is my job to support students who, for whatever reason, are having a difficult time in school, as well as provide extra support for students who want to get ahead. In the learning environments I provide, students are safe to ask questions, provide ideas and make mistakes while receiving respect and patience. While I support students in a positive manner by giving praise and constructive feedback, I also make sure that students are working hard and receiving authentic responses in a respectful manner. As the daughter of two educators, I spent my childhood immersed in educational values. My passion for education lead me to attend Western Washington University where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education and History. I tutored Geometry and worked in sever

My teaching style starts with breaking the skill into managable segments for the learner. This can vary from person to person. I also like to find areas of interest to use as examples and comparisons when teaching so that the lesson will always seem relevant to my student(s). I believe that learning new skills and perfecting existing ones is vital to enjoying life and try to put this enthusiasm into everything I teach. Although I do not have paid experience teaching regular school subjects, I have extensive experience teaching skill to all age level learners in a gym/pool setting. I taught swim lessons and exercise classes for nearly 20 years, and taught weight lifting techniques/sports conditioning for 2 years. i am also active in teaching at church and work with my own children as well as their friends in completing school projects.

For as long as I can remember I have loved to learn. Through college I tutored in psychology, english, the arts, statistical math, and certain classifications of sciences. My favorites were psychology and english because of the freedom you can give due to interpretaional material. As a psychology major I was fascinated with how the mind works in all arenas. I learned the various methodologies used in teaching people and found in my tutoring that finding a way to present even the most difficult material in a manner to make it understandable is greatly satisfying. Through tutoring and teaching others I gained a higher comprehension of the material at hand and learned more about both myself and people in general. I firmly believe that there's no such thing as an idea or topic that can not be taught to someone who wants to learn regardless of academic leveling.

My time spent at Seattle Pacific University, equipped me through diverse experiences and rigorous academic programs to meet the need of elementary aged learners at many levels. Through experiences in high-needs urban schools as well as both high-needs and affluent suburban schools, I have worked with a broad spectrum of students. My past three years of teaching in my own classroom I have had the unique opportunity of working with students from many cultural, economic, and educational populations. In my classroom I have found a great deal of diversity with regards to students’ academic needs. I have taken additional classes, workshops, studies, and other experiences in order to diagnosis student needs and develop plans for student improvement. On a daily basis I work with scaffolding and reflect on how to meet the needs of such diverse learners. Throughout my life I have had the pleasure

After receiving my degree at Northwest College in Kirkland (now University), I worked, enhanced my music skills, married and had children. From 1995-1996 I obtained my TESL certificate at Edmonds Community College. I tutored two middle school students from Korea for one year. Then I taught 9th grade English to 15 international students at Snohomish County Christian School for one year. I have also had the pleasure of voluntarily teaching 14 students English from Brazil for 18 months recently. My experience of teaching the families from Brazil was very enjoyable. One high school student said that she learned more at our once a week class than she learned at her daily class in school. I liked incorporating songs and singing to reinforce grammar, which made class time fun. I emphasize conversational ESL and grammar practice.
