Fun, likable, patient, and disciplined

I am loving, patient, and fun.
I am a very patient and loving person and am great with people. I graduated in History Teaching and secondary education. I have been in the schools at all levels as part of my curriculum, as well as voluntary work and as a substitute. I also worked as an ESL teacher for two years, speak Portuguese fluently, and speak a little bit of Spanish. So I have a lot of teaching experience. I received a coaching minor and have experience with basketball, tennis, and soccer. I am also a very fun person. I have worked as an activities coordinator for over 5 years, and am a very creative person.

I always try to use everyday situations and apply them to math problems i'm trying to teach.
My name is Quyen and I'm still a college student. I enjoy helping people with homework and tutoring. My best area is in Math but I am decent in other subjects too. Even though I am not a certified teacher nor having any experience with tutoring; however, I've had taken math all through out my education career-up to Calculus 2.

Reading is one of my top subjects! I have worked primarily with students who have learning disabilities in reading. In addition to direct instruction in reading, pre and post assessments are ongoing during my work with students. This provides information on the students progress and/or specific areas in reading that need to be addressed.

Special Education Instructional Assistant for 8 years (2000 to 2008) I assisted students needing help with reading, writing, and/or math at the elementary and middle school levels. Special Education Teacher: (2009 to current): I teach students with mild to moderate learning disabilities reading, writing, and math.
I like to make learning as fun as possible. I strive to inspire students to want to learn rather than just teach. Communication is a key is a factor in my teaching. Communication between parents and teacher is essential in meeting the students needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

I take the time to assess each students learning style and tailor the material to their individuality. This makes learning fun and memorable. I am patient, easy-going, and able to quickly adjust to changing moods of students. Hands-on learning is my favorite way to teach.
As a student of the College of Science, I excel both at detail in quantifiable information , and the ability to translate professional speak into everyday language. I excel in English, Science, and Psychology. I have been tutoring for five years and homeschool my 8-year-old stepdaughter.

My passion for numbers and formulas has taken me on an incredible journey. I graduated from Western Oregon University in 2007 with a BS in Business. From there I was able to have the opportunity to work as a Financial Accountant for the next 2.5 years. This has sharpened every area of my skill set and has allowed me to work in various atmospheres involving teamwork and critical thinking. My math and advanced formula skills were recognized by Senior Accountants and Managers and has allowed me to help other Accountants resolve complex issues.
I love helping people achieve dreams and goals. I practice what I preach and throughout my life I had to overcome obstacles to reach personal goals that I set for my self.

My background includes an undergraduate degree in History and International Studies as well as a Master's degree in Education. With this background, I have taught US History, World History, and Government on all levels from college prep to AP. In addition, I have been involved in an after school program for low achievers designed to improve classroom performance and prevent dropouts. My experience teaching AP World History has given me a strong background in teaching and developing verbal and written skills.
Teaching strategies which have worked for me in the classroom include cooperative learning groups that encourage social interaction, as well as, jigsaw groups. The use of PowerPoint presentations to illustrate the material utilizes a technology component which I find useful. Strategies for special needs students would include making sure to see if they are a visual, auditory, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am professional, and would love to apply my ideas in innovation regarding the education environment, duration and implementation. My bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, while accomplished a while back, is a plus in that I’ve learned to apply my analytical skills in the years gone by. I am presently an AVID tutor, and this is another badge of my working skill that I am proud to mention. I had dealt with students which were not emotionally or physically set-up for the classroom that needed to be addressed on a daily basis. I have taught math and algebra in a college setting. I have been in the education field for 13years, and I believe I can tackle most challenges that a student can present.
My teaching style is simple. In my classroom, I am the teacher, the gate keeper and the executioner. This is premised by my belief in the contingency theory, tempered in some ways that ... read more

I have over 20 years experience in training individuals in materials related to their employment & career preparation. I've also worked as a CASA worker in Idaho and had to prepare reports for the courts/judges review to determine placement of at risk cildren.

I've also spent many years writing research papers, business correspondence, business plans, articles for newspapers as a writer, editor and publisher, both as an employee, owner and contract writer and the mother of an autistic child.
I would say that my style is one of direction. Helping students find answers, teaching them how to research for the answers and developing paths of choices to determine which one to take and determining the outcome of that choice or the alternatives. I feel better challenging them to use their ... read more

While working as an Instructional Assistant in public schools, I tutored many students with learning disabilities who were struggling in school. I obtained a bachelor degree in Liberal Studies with a focus on the special needs of students in elementary and middle school. In an effort to help my students to succeed, I have tutored students in reading, mathematics, science, and social studies. I have also assisted students in the management of attention difficulties, organizational and study skills.
I enjoy working with children. I am patient and versatile. I accept the challenge of adjusting teaching methods and adapting activities to accommodate students with a variety of needs in order to meet the objectives of a behavioral or educational plan.

Teachings students one-on-one is the love of my life. I see progress in this format that is outstanding. Students can make several levels of progress in a short period of time. Providing a positive, constructive and enthusiastic environment is foundational to the success of the student. The teacher also must show by their actions that they are very interested in the success of the student. With positive interventions, there will be a positive difference in the life of the tutored child.
The biggest motivation of my teaching career is to hold a high standard of expectation. I have a MA in Special Education, and a BA in Business Administration. I am adding to my teaching certificate an additional endorsement in middle level and high school math. I have home schooled all four of my children. Two of my children have BA degrees and another is currently in college. I teach an afterschool ... read more

I also home school my daughter in reading, writing, mathematics, and natural science.

Every child has a window of time when learning to write and read is at its peak. I’ve observed this can begin as early as three or four years of age. Yet the child who discovers his/her fascination with language at the age of eight is no less gifted. So I believe patiently leading children through auditory, kinesthetic and auditory learning channels will grant them opportunities to learn rapidly. Methods like Nellie Edge’s “Early Literacy” or the “Right to Read” program offer them these chances at appropriate ages in the classroom. Tutoring offers exceptional chances at all ages because nothing matches one-on-one assistance.
The voyage of deepening a child’s enthusiasm to write and read well is so delightful and satisfying! This revelation didn’t come in my writing courses in high school or college but when I taught my four children to read and write. Now that they’re all in colleg ... read more

While I have six years of classroom teaching experience, I've spent the 20 years since my MA in Counseling as a teacher and trainer for a variety of nonprofits. I have trained volunteers, developed manuals and curricula for children through adults, and offered seminars for as many as 200 people. My five years as a writing instructor for a community college honed my skills in all aspects of writing and drew on my BA in English, as well as my avocation as a writer. My background in counseling makes me well-suited to connect with all kinds of people. I am confident I would make a great tutor.
I love learning and communicate that enthusiasm when I teach. I am patient and kind, and very good at breaking down assignments and problems to manageable tasks. I have a creative streak that enables me to devise interesting and effective ways to help students connect with the material. I ... read more

I enjoy learning and try to pass along some of my enthusiasm to my students. I will work with the student to find the best methods for us to approach the material so he or she will have the greatest success. I believe that creating a structure assists in the learning process, but the structure may be different for different people. This is not to say that I impose a rigid schedule or formula to the tutoring sessions, but I do work to create of flow for the the study session which will consistently show the student his or her progress each time.
After returning to college to get my teaching certificate I taught 5th grade for one year. I then taught at a high school in Salinas, California for four years. As an elementary teacher I taught all subjects except science. I taught various history and social studies classes to the high school students including World History, honors U. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated with a BA from Willamette University with a major in history and minors in math and Spanish. I then attended Willamette's MAT program where I earned a Masters in Education with endorsements to teach middle and high school mathematics, social studies and ESOL. I have taught at Woodburn High School for 6 years now in the mathematics department. I have taught a range of mathematical levels: from pre-algebra through Advanced Placement Statistics. Throughout college and my teaching career I have tutored a variety of students between the ages of 5 to adult in subjects such as reading, writing, math, study skills, and SAT preparation.
Helping students be successful is the most important aspect of teaching, in my opinion. Each student is unique in his or her learning style. A teacher's job is to find the way in which a student learns best and to encourage them to think o ... read more
