220 Experience: Standardized Testing Scores: ACT - 35 SAT - 2300 SAT II Math II - 800 SAT II Chemistry - 800 SAT II Biology - 790 5's on all AP Tests listed above. I've been tutoring for the better part of two years. Through that time, I have gained an earnest understanding of what it means to be an effective mentor. I stand by my belief that knowing the information and teaching the information are two entirely different things. When I tutor, I use techniques that get directly to the heart of the information. I primarily tutor ACT/SAT prep, Math to Calculus III, and all the Sciences. I am also knowledgeable on the college application process and can help with editing papers, developing a resume, or just serve as a guiding hand through a crucial time. Depending on the subject, I utilize from my own academic career tools that I found were the most effective and mos

Logical lecturing periodically within explanations poised by pupils based on material being studied. I have never formally tutored anyone but I have helped my younger siblings and classmates with homework before and I am confident in my abilities to communicate information in a logical and well ordered manner so that a pupil will be able to understand, comprehend, and apply the information in a testing setting.

If I had to pick one style it would be direct teaching. Although being a special education teacher I also use the cognitive strategy instruction. This approach is very helpful as a tool to help students develop the necessary skills to be self-regulated learners. One should continually differentiate the lesson utilizing all the modalities. When I facilitate interaction between the class it will depend on the lesson sometimes having the whole class participate is the way to go, other times it is helpful to employ small groups. I believe you have to be versatile yet consistent I feel this is important for the learning styles of the students. As a seasoned teacher I have accomplished many attributes. I have earned a bachelor's in Music and a masters in Special ed. In addition I believe that teaching is not like any other profession, it challenges you in every way possible from buildin

Words cannot express my love and passion for teaching, I would say it is a profession that requires a great deal of patience and understanding but the payoff from its efforts is definitely worth it to me. Being student oriented, nurturing and supporting the growth of my students is fulfilling to me. I thrive on being a part of the development of their personal and social awareness. My compassion for others makes it a joy for me to work with students. My teaching is at its best when I am creating a rapport with students. I feel good when magic springs from the learning experiences and growth of my students. I have been through a series of career paths and throughout the past few years have realized that I have a great passion for teaching. I have earned a bachelors degree in Health Science from Benedictine University and would say that it was a very well-rounded curriculum and more over,

I have been fascinated with tutoring for the past three years ago. I began tutoring one of the professors at the University of IL at Chicago in a foreign language. Since then, I have been tutoring various age groups from eight years old to fifty four years old. I received my Bachelor degree in Biology from University of IL at Chicago. While studying Biology, I was able to take various courses in science such as Math, Physics, General and Organic Chemistry, Physiology and biology. I believe a great teacher needs to have proper skills and talents for teaching. I learned a lot while growing up from a great teacher; my mother. My mother was a teacher for thirty years teaching elementary grades. I learned a great teacher needs to be respectful, patient and to be able to illustrate the lesson in an easy, simple way. I try to provide simple analogies for each concept. This enables the student t

I have taught university-level art history courses for the last 7 years. These courses include training in writing, presentation, and speaking in addition to their emphasis on the history of culture. As an assistant professor, my role also includes my own research so I have extensive experience writing research papers and articles. I am very adept at grammar and spelling. Because of my educational background, my strongest subjects are history and english. Furthermore, I am constantly learning through reading and traveling. I have mostly taught university-level students but I have occasionally worked with high school students. I would like the opportunity to work with all age groups. In my opinion, students learn in many different ways so it is useful to approach difficult concepts in practical ways. I like to use visual media when teaching (films, excerpts from relevant programs,

I have already been a full-time teacher, including one year of high school Spanish and two years of Undergraduate Spanish at Indiana University. Just recently, I concluded a double-Masters program at IU, the first degree in Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the second in Teaching Social Studies. I was nominated for Indiana Student Teacher of the Year at the completion of my student teaching experience this November. In addition, I have developed and taught my own English workshops abroad to English language learners and I speak fluent Spanish. My first job upon graduating from Bates College in Maine was to work as a Teacher's Assistant at a high school in MA. While there I also worked in the Learning Lab with Special Education students in need of tutoring and extra help. Finally, I have tutored independently high school, ELL and college students during the last few years. I am a p

One place I belong is teaching and working with children. Anyone that knows me and that has worked with me would probably say that. I don't teach right now due to a desire to develop a real estate career so that I can end up in the classroom. Having said that, I really enjoy teaching. I am patient as all students are different in their processings, experiences and personalities. I am energetic and funny as I find that is a great way to connect with children. I have worked with all types of people, from severe attention deficit, to behavioral disorders, to utmost dislikes for specific subjects, to unresponsive. I honestly feel that I found a good way to work with all of them. I am still in touch with my students of the past and think that reflects how I might have made an impact on their lives.

Teaching was never a job for me, but rather a way to practice a passion. I believe that every child possesses the ability to learn and it is the responsibility of educators to cultivate such talent and foster growth. I believe in helping students reach their potential by teaching them to pose and answer questions about the world around them. My classroom was a place where children were excited about learning. I made sure to convey my love of the English language to my students and gave them the keys to unlock the wonderful world of literature. I was serious about producing results and helping my students become better readers. I used benchmarks to track their progress throughout the year, and nearly every student advanced in reading growth. I started my teaching career as a Teach For America corps member in Atlanta, Georgia, where I taught sixth grade language arts at Crawford Long Middl

Teachers can be a catalyst for change and participate in the transformative learning process for both the student and the teacher. Learning is a collaborative experience and I am dedicated to a student-centered practice. My responsibility as an educator will be to act as a facilitator in the learning process and encourage students to self-reflect, critically think, and embrace the many different aspects of our community. Every child should have an equal opportunity to formal education. For me, teaching represents a tool for social change that can equip students with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to prevail over societal discrimination. Furthermore, I strive to enhance a student’s self efficacy. It is paramount for students to receive encouragement and positive appraisal so that their level of self-efficacy can increase. The educator should create a positive environment that pr
