Once taught a 7 year-old Korean boy Chinese when I was a sophomore---I found being a personal tutor is challenging and interesting, because you should adjust your teaching method cater to the student based on your observation on him/her as well as the communication through all the process. I had provided legal aids as a tutor of a relevant junior middle school--- It makes me more open and confident to give a presentation in the front of more people.

As an artist, I recognize the importance of developing my own aesthetic language. As an educator, I am committed to clearly communicating and imparting these values. Both practices have continually motivated me to expand my knowledge of art techniques and processes as well as the dialogue of contemporary art. A good teacher must expose students to art history, engage them in contemporary art, and allow them to make meaningful connections to their own lives and art practices. Teaching constantly requires me to digest and reference outside influences and disciplines to support student’s diverse needs. Encouraging students to learn from each other and collaborate is an important part of my teaching method. Through this process, students are exposed to diverse perspectives constantly. This also creates an environment that is receptive to formal and informal critique. An investigation

I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for submission. These students will always earn excellent grades. I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand.

While my area of expertise is physical education, I have gained great experience in other areas of education while searving as an in house substitute for Highland Elementary. Serving as an in house substitute provided me with experience working with large groups, as well as working with students on an individual basis. This experience also provided me with the wonderful opportunity to work with students with special needs. I have also served 2 years as a full time physical education teacher, which gave me an opportunity to interact with students and further understand the learning process. I believe the biggest key to learning is finding a way for students to relate to the information. Getting to know the student and relating thier interests to the material at hand is key to making a connection. I also believe it is critical to remain positive and supportive with students.

As a student at the University of Chicago, I have tutored at the local Ray Elementary school through the Neighborhood Schools program. There, I tutored two fourth grade ESL students, an Italian boy and a Korean girl, primarily in math and reading. I have also tutored at the STRIVE tutoring center, helping a 7th grader and 8th grader with math and reading. As a mathematics major and a math whiz in high school, I have covered calculus and algebra material many times over and approached them in multiple ways (analysis, IBL, etc). In addition, I have had a lot of experience writing papers and editing peer papers for style and grammar. As a tutor, I understand my responsibility primarily as that of helping children reach their potential. I try to help my students understand concepts they are struggling with in primarily three ways. First, I find what their strengths are and see if I ca

I have always had a knack for the sciences and left the Midwest to follow my love of Marine Biology. While in school, I revisted my interest in the arts (painting, piano, and animation). It was then I realized I was passionate about so many topics and didn't want to limit myself to one thing! I've worked with kids throughout my entire life, whether I was teaching swim lessons, piano lessons, or tutoring. I took Spanish for 4 years in High School use it every chance I get. If I had the time I would take on degree after degree! Speaking to children of all ages comes naturally to me. My parents both love being teachers and have been in the game for over 30 years a piece! I traveled to schools to give presentations on my marine mammal experiences to grades K-8. I currently work for the Education Department at the Saint Louis ZOO where we strive to keep learning a blast! I believe l

I completed my semester of student teaching at Center High School in Kansas City in December 2002. Upon graduation I joined AmeriCorps. During my second year of service I developed and taught a variety of subjects related to public safety and service in St. Louis City elementary and middle schools after school programs. I have also worked as a camp counselor in Maine and volunteer coach girls softball in my community. In addition to coaching and teaching school age students I also instructed Community Education classes for adults in First Aid/CPR and Disaster Response Preparedness. While attaining my degree I learned many different techniques and styles of teaching, mainly based on the multiple intelligences. I believe everyone learns in different style and it is my job as a teacher to make sure all of the learning styles are being met during a lesson. I believe in coming up with new a

I sincerely have a passion for helping others. I enjoy learning and growing together. Also, I believe that one has the potential to learn from anyone, young or old; it is merely an open mind that is vital. Also, I feel that sharing ideas and concepts in an open forum is conducive to healthy learning. In addition, if one can reach out and change just one life positively a great challenge has been met. While I was attending college I served as a Certified Trainer at Outback Steakhouse for several years. I taught our classroom for trainees, and I also developed and trained key employees. In addition, I volunteered at the International Institute and have helped newly arrived immigrants American customs and basic English syntax and grammar.

Every student can be a successful student. While Academic success may come easier to some, I believe the key is to communicate to each student in a way that promotes their own understanding. This is why I enjoy tutoring. I especially enjoy tutoring writing, art, and literature because I believe these subjects open up a whole new realm of problem-solving, creativity, and abstract thought. Every student deserves a chance to succeed. If they are given that chance and they provide the right amount of effort, they will. I have a history of Academic success in multiple disciplines. My Major was an individualized major through the Honors College at Central Missouri State University (now University of Central Missouri). I studied literature, writing, grammer, editing, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and history. I was an assitant editor for Pleiades, A Journal of New

I do not have a specific teaching style. Everyone is different, so one particular type of teaching style may not be as effective as another. In order to be effective, I think it is important to recognize the students strengths and weaknesses before embarking on a certain learning path. I have a Bachelor's degree in History and an Associate's in Process Technology. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. I possess excellent math skills and took statistics in college. I enjoy helping others and feel I am a good fit for this position.
