My experience dates back to when I was in high school in the early 80's tutoring students and family members. I've also taught classes on Management of Aggressive Behavior / Appled Non-Violence to mental health professionals throughout the Las Vegas Valley and surrounding communities. I also worked as teacher assistant in the mental health setting working with special needs students.

As explained above, I was a political science major in college because I was intrigued with the American Democratic system of government and held such respect for a nation and a government, that with all its pitfalls, would peacefully hand over the powers and trappings of government every 4 years. Every time I watch a Presidential Inauguration I am so proud and moved that with all that is at stake and against our human nature to just take what we want and make excuses later, there is not a single tank or soldier marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to take over the government. For a nation of almost 400 million people to adhere to the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power is inspiring and sacred. Our Founding Fathers got that much right. I would be the perfect tutor of Political Science because of my passion for it, my knowledge of it, and my ability to help people understand the h

I have a Ph.D. in Political Science/ International Relations from the University of Washington in Seattle (1995). Plus I have extensive experience teaching both at the high school and university level. This experience includes institutions in Haiti, Mexico and the United States. I am 100% fluent in Spanish and was born in Panama (also a US citizen). After teaching on military bases in Japan and South Korea on and off for the past five years, I need to be in the United States for family reasons, in Nevada. Until I decide what to do next, I need to keep working. Recommendations available from all employers over the past decade. I keep it interesting, mixing activities.

I am a very hands on teacher. I enjoy finding activities that will help your child achieve success in their studies as well as help them find a learning style they can apply to all disciplines. I am patient and easy to get along with. I am hard working and motivated and will expect the same from those I work with. I believe that with the right attitude and the development of certain study skills/habits all students can find success in reaching their goals. I hope to instill in each child I work with a love of learner and an understanding that they can succeed. Graduating with a degree in History Education has been my goal since grade school. Through my various courses and work experience I have been able to gain a certification as a licensed teacher and tutor. My experiences have helped me develop excellent people skills and an ability to direct student learning. Also, my work as helped

There is nothing quite like the feeling of observing a breakthrough on the part of a young person as they overcome obstacles to learning. My style is gentle and always positive. I keep to a quick pace, never lingering too long in one area. I am well organized and take notes during each session. I do a lot of follow-up and review during each session to reinforce prior study. I am bottom-line oriented. The only measure that is important is the student's growth. I have tutored consistently from Janaury 2001 through the school year ending in June 2006. I began tutoring on a volunteer basis in as a Literacy Trainer for reading-challenged adults. Thereafter, I tutored high school students preparing to take the SAT, grammar school students struggling with math and reading and most recently as part of the "No Child Left Behind Act." My strength is math, however I have boosted my grammar

The way I teach is very simple. I explain my teaching style using the analogy of a mother bird teaching her baby how to fly. The mother guides her baby, teaching it, showing it the ropes of life, and when it comes time, the baby flies off on its own with no help. This is quite similar to how I teach and tutor children. I guide them through lesson plans and homework with a helping hand, and when it comes time for them to "fly," I let them go and hopefully they will understand the concept and be able to work individually. When this happens, it is truly an inspiring moment, to be there and watch children grow. Even before I graduated from NDNU with my teaching credential in English and social studies, I have tutored for several years in almost every subject. I have come to understand that each individual has his/her own unique way of learning.

A child must understand what he or she is reading. It is hard to do, especially with the books that are out there. I feel I can impart some knowledge to a student. I can make him or her feel comfortable reading. I am a writer. I am not published, but I have learned a lot in the English language. My experience working with mentally ill kids a hew years ago is a great help. I want to help young people with reading skills. I think that I can do it. I am going to live in Las Vegas, and am moving today. I need work. I feel that I am qualified. I am not an extraordinary... teacher. I need a more ordinary student. I feel that I can help anyone read well... Initially I will be living in The Valley Of Fire.

I have obtained two B.A.'s within the past 6 years. I have extensive study in all subjects. My best subjects are math, science, and social studies. I have also studied the piano for 15 years and violin for 8 years. In college I became very interested in theatre and have extensive study in directing, stage managing, and construction. In high school I tutored middle school and elementary school students in math. I have worked as a teacher's aid in mathematics. In college I helped my friends with their studies in anatomy and physiology and environmental science. I love helping children learn. I am very patient and considerate. The most rewarding feeling is knowing that you helped someone. I believe that the skills we learn throughout grade school help us persevere later in life. When I was in grade school I had difficulty articulating my words and was placed into speech therapy.

I have been a tutor throughout my undergraduate career. I have been employed by a tutoring service as well as independently. I have tutored all levels of high school Mathematics as well as most undergraduate level mathematics courses. I have 3 years experience in these various fields. My teaching style is unique. I make sure that students learn by doing, not by watching me do problems. As a student i always found that the most effective teachers used a style that allowed the student to do problems and ask questions. Today i put these practices to use in my tutoring. I believe that no child is a lost cause and that any child can learn given the right circumstances.

Of course it is the goal of the teacher to help the student learn the facts, terms, theories, and skills associated with the subject being taught. Through experience I've learned that the method of teaching will necessarily vary from student to student. Some students will need to be gently kept on task, while others will require a great deal of positive reinforcement. But with all students it is important to balance questioning/listening time, to clarify and explain if necessary, and to gauge the student's comprehension. I believe that we humans are born with an innate delight in learning (witness any toddler) and that restoring the feeling that learning is an adventure encourages and energizes students. When considering a major area of study in college I was pulled between my two loves- Art and English. Though my ability to draw and paint suggested Art would be the natural choice, my

I have an extensive background in Mathematics. I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland College Park. I have experience tutoring in advanced Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and SAT preparation. I feel I have sufficient expertise in Physics, Biology, and History to tutor in these areas as well. In my tutoring experience, I have worked with a wide variety of students at different learning levels. The teaching style I employ is tailored to the needs of each individual student. With mathematics, I emphasize an understanding of the key concepts underlying individual problems. I have also found that positive reinforcement is an effective tool for helping students who may be struggling with the material.

My teaching style is highly influenced by the type of student that I teach. As a teacher of deaf students, my teaching must be very visual and hands-on. I find this lends itself well to teaching students who might be struggling in a regular classroom environment as well. I always begin by activating any prior knowledge a student might have in a given area, then establishing the goals that need to be met, engaging the child with relevant activities, and going from guided instruction to independent practice. Since beginning college in 1994, I have been involved with teaching and/or tutoring students, hearing and deaf. My experience teaching ranges from preschool to high school, typically developing children to those with disabilities, from impoverished and affluent areas. My tutoring has been both with a nationwide tutoring chain, as well as with a privately owned company. I have tut
