History and English: NOT BORING! RELEVANT!!

As a recent graduate of the University of Oregon History Department, I have spent the last two years working with peers to enhance their ability to research, comprehend, and explain historical events through writing. This experience includes courses in Grammar and Literature as well as History of both the U.S. and the world. With a string of A-grades at the 400-level, I believe I am now prepared to help others find similar success by following some simple advice and encouragement.
Motivation. Hard work is made even harder when we don't enjoy the subject; for example, History can easily become boring and impossible to follow for young, energetic minds. When these events are brought to life, however, and made personally relevant to the student as part of our shared past, we may inspire curiosity which is the prime quality of a young scholar. Grammar and literature can also be tir ... read more

My teaching style adapts itself to student needs. I like to balance the affective and the cognitive domains. I organize the lesson teaching general overview and vocabulary first then move to specifics and personal applications that can be framed creatively. I teach with a commitment to the subject and the belief that the student deserves my best effort.
My teaching career began in Australia in 1974. I taught in a private school for four years. After returning to Oregon, I attendd the univeersity earning my bachelors and teacher's certification.My teaching assignments included middle school social studies- world history, American history, geography, and language arts. My high school assignments include world history, American history, and geography. I am skilled in teaching study skills.

Everybody comes to the table with different strengths and, yes, different weaknesses. With a personable, conscientious approach that respects both, students can surprise themselves with what they can achieve. By starting with what you know and expanding outward, instead of starting with what you don’t and working backward, the groundwork for lasting understanding can be laid. Guidance toward discovery, not spoon fed rote repetition, ends in learning. There is no single easy way to teach everyone, yet everyone can be taught to harness their own potential.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been interested in the written word. While pursuing further understanding of a wide range of literature, I earned a BA degree in English literature while maintaining a focus in Philosophy, a core element to critical thinking. Throughout my student life, I combined the grammatical and struct ... read more

Teaching is a passion; an ideology focused on each student’s potential. It can be a challenge, but the belief that every student can learn drives me to persistently push students to discover this fact about themselves. True learning is about self-discovery and attaching self-meaning to content. The way I teach is built as a series of measurable steps which guide my students to find the lesson themselves. I engage my students in discussion about what they are learning and their interpretations of it. I encourage respectful debate to allow students to experiment with new found knowledge and for them to gain ownership of what they have learned. True learning is making knowledge a part of yourself, and my goal is to help students do that.
I earned a B.S. in Secondary Education focusing on literacy and written expression, as well as Special Education methodology. This foundation allows ... read more

I believe in high academic expectations for my students and clear and transparent communication with them and their families. I believe in setting consistent and attainable goals for my students to initiate and maintain a record of success to build their self confidence and embolden their academic ambitions. Regardless of whether my students currently intend on going to college, I believe in a rigorous high school academic discipline that projects success in college and beyond.
After graduating from Wheaton College with high honors, I served as a Fulbright Scholar to the Slovak Republic where I taught English conversation and researched the role of the Catholic Church in the post-communist era. Subsequently, I served as an AmeriCorps Member for 2 years providing academic tutoring and life-skills training.

As a Graduate Teaching Fellow (GTF) in the Philosophy Department at the University of Oregon, I assist faculty by running two weekly 50-min discussion sections of approximately 30 students, and I am responsible for evaluating these sixty students' work for the class, particularly written work, and exams. This year I have acted as a GTF in the following courses: Phil 110 (Human Nature), Phil 102 (Ethics), and PHil 170 (Philosophy of Love and Sex). As a Writing Associate at Swarthmore College (2002-2005), I was hired and trained by Swarthmore College to tutor Swarthmore students in academic writing. I conference with the students of an assigned course to aid them in revising essays for that course. I advised students on a drop-in basis at Writing Center. As a senior, I was appointed to mentor WAs in training. Also during my Swarthmore career, I acted as student grader for an introductory l ... read more

Teaching is my passion. I am very close to my students, and I pride myself on making a personal connection with my students and being able to address their individual needs. As a young teacher, I am fully prepared to take on the responsibilities of my own classroom, but I am always looking for ways to improve my pedagogical approach and thus look forward to working with peers and supervisors.
Because I was a grad student in English, I have ample experience writing and editing. I was able to individually tutor fellow students through the years and thus have experience working one-on-one with students. At both the Institute of Reading Development and CSULB I had the chance to work with all ages, nationalities, and ability levels, something I found immensely enjoyable. Although these jobs were focused on teaching in front of a classroom, they also supplied me with ample time to wo ... read more

As a water safety instructor for the past 10 years, I have worked with children and adults of all ages and at all levels. I am passionate about teaching and about children. I have several years' experience working in the public schools for my practicum and observation hours working towards my teaching certification. I studied French at the UO and minored in both Spanish and Italian. I have traveled in Europe and spent 2 months in France, gaining a real foothold on the language. I currently work with Kindergartners seven hours/day five days/week while I work on my MAED.
I absolutely adore children and the innocence and passion they bring to my life.

I have always preferred an interactive teaching style. At times in Mongolia I found the language barrier to be inhibiting the learning of the students. This caused me to explore different teaching methods which I otherwise would have never considered. For example, I often chose to teach language by acting out the word or phrase, or having a student act it out. However, there were some classes that were not responsive to this type of teaching and, as a result I resorted to what I had previously considered arcane and authoritarian: repetitious call and response, and by rote. These methods proved to be effective for certain classes. As a result, I am now open to any possible number of teaching methods.
My bachelor's degree from University of Missouri-Columbia is in Political Science. I also minored in Art History. I have done extensive research in each of these areas and feel ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that learning should be fun and effective. It is important to me that students enjoy the discovery and challenge of learning but that they also learn the discipline and perseverance that will help them continue to grow. I enjoy using many styles of learning and kid-friendly activities to help students understand and master material. I strive to make my students feel encouraged and challenged to do their personal best. I want them to help them have realistic expectations and give them the knowledge, tools and help they need to reach them. I want to give students confidence that will help them succeed.
I have been teaching children of all ages in many settings for the past 6 years. I have worked with students of all levels and helped them be successful. In college I tutored elementary through college students including English Language Learners, in various subjects. ... read more

I graduated from California State University, Long Beach in May, 2002 with a Bachelor's Degree, GPA: 4.0, in the area of Women's Studies. Additionally, I have been recognized with several honors for my academic excellence.
My philosophy, and my approach as an English tutor is a holistic one. I have worked with students from the elementary level to the university level, and one thing has become evident to me, that students can and do improve academically provided they are given the appropriate support. It has been my experience that students benefit from an academic approach that incorporates self-esteem skills in conjunction with integrating academic tools for success. It is my belief that once students are able to begin expressing ideas, views, content, and thoughts, reading and writing skills automatically begin to develop. I have the ability to gain students trust, whi ... read more
