During my time as a substitute teacher I encountered students with different types of learning abilities. This makes it challenging to teach concepts to the students since each student learns differently. While earning my probationary teacher’s license in Teachers for the 21st Century I learned the most effective way to teach concepts to students with different learning abilities is through the use of the Bloom method. This method will enable students to comprehend, retain, and apply the knowledge that is given to them which will help develop the students cognitive skills. I have earned a bachelor’s and a master’s in English from New Mexico State University, which enabled me to increase my knowledge of grammar and rhetoric. While pursuing my degree I worked as a substitute teacher for the Las Cruces School District during the 2005-2006 school year. During this time I taught a variety of

At the Masters Level of education, I was very involved in tutoring others in the accounting lab.Now I work for a company in which I have put to use the knowledge that I have gained with my education. I continue to strive in learning new policies and procedures in the accounting field. I am studying for the Certified Public Accountant Certification in which would enable me to keep learning the field of accounting. I also learned how to do research for the purpose of writing essays, presentations and reports. Throughout my Bachelors courses I learned to take each transaction in a general entry and dissect it in order to understand each step of the transaction and properly journalize it. I was a substitute teacher and a tutor in the accounting lab in which gave me the opportunity to work with students. To my belief that there is no such person as a student who can not complete th

The subjects I have taught are Health, Texas History, Basic Science, American History, Spanish 1-3, World Geography, Biology, Language Arts including writing, spelling and grammar. Even though these subject are outside of my major, I took the time to prepare. We also know that teaching a subject helps us learn it better. I have at least three years experience teaching each of the named subjects or more. I have coached Volleyball, Basketball, Track successfully and would be willing to personally coach a budding athlete. My best experiences have been with ages 12 - 14. Each child is different. On a one on one setting, it would be advantageous to allow the student some freedom so that their learning style leads to maximum learning. My goal is to teach the student to love self-learning so that the student appreciates learning without a tutor or teacher present. All children can learn in a

I hold a degree in Organization & Corporate Communication with a minor in English, Rhetoric/Writing Studies and 14 years experience in public relations throughout my various jobs. Grammar, writing, composition writing, essays, grant writing, are all skills that I excel in. More importantly than any of that is that I enjoy writing and and enjoy reading books on grammar. I have tutored friend's children over the course of several years. I have taught religious studies for over 15 years to youth ages 14. I have worked extensively with children in my various lines of work in the mental health field and foster care. I love teaching and working with children and appreciate that no two children are the same nor do they learn the same way. I'm a strong believer that it's important to teach a child in a manner he/she is comfortable with, whether they pick up a concept quickly or need time.

I enjoy teaching kids and particular the satisfaction that the kid gets when they finally understand the subject. I believe I must make myself fit to the students needs and not the student to my way of teaching, because there are many ways to have a kid understand the subject. Education is the tool that will open the doors of opportunity and will enhance your individual worth. I worked as substitute teacher for the Denver Public Schools during my senior year of university. I have also worked and certified as instructor in the US Army in several fields to include math and science.

I love working with students of all ages. I am a very patient person. I believe in providing the best education possible to every student no matter what kind of disabilities that they may have. I look forward to helping as many students as possible. I have been working at Socorro High School as a class with in a class history teacher for the past two years. My first year at Socorro I also had one English class that I taught. I will be going back to schoo to finish my other Bs in Social Psychology. I have been tutoring my students on a weekly basis as needed, for lack of understanding of materials covered in class or even for making up work that they may have missed.

My teaching style is very flexible. Because I have worked with children, teenagers, and adults, the ability to adapt to the learner's ability level is especially important. Not all people learn at the exact pact, therefore, flexibility is essential as well as non traditional teaching methods. Some non traditional teaching methods I have applied include interpreting math problems through real life situations. I find that some kids will relate to NBA references while others prefer food examples. Either way, it keeps the child interested which is the key role of a good tutor. Although I listed only 2 years of prior instruction, I have taught over 5 years of business/finance related material. On a school level basis, I personally have a child with ADHD that I tutor at home. I am especially proficient in English/Language Arts. My research and writing skills are exceptionally keen due to the n

I graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso in the spring of 2009. During my time at the university I had the opportunity to study abroad in France in 2006 and the following year in Belgium where I took courses in French and Political Science for a combined period of one year. In the summer of 2008 I participated in the English open doors program in Chile, where I taught English to secondary and high school students. After returning from Chile I was employed at Kumon math and reading learning center in El Paso where I tutored children in priimary school until September of 2009 when I returned to France to teach English and Spanish as part of an assistanship program. Teaching can be a vey enriching and satisfying experience. When your students are interested and enjoy the subject the outome is very gratifying. Tutoring and teaching are somewhat the same.

My experience working with a diverse student community has enabled me to experience multiple learning capacities along with the added privilege of experiencing different cultures. I graduated with a double major in political science and philosophy and later completed my masters degree in political science. I currently teach government courses at a local community college. Some of my proudest accomplishments have been away from teaching government such as teaching ESL, GED, and computer applications. Currently, I estimate I have graduated approximately 265 students in GED programs. In addition, I have contracted in public schools to tutor students in academic subjects such as reading, spelling, and grammar. Teaching on a one-to-one basis is the most personal and rewarding experience that a teacher may have. Part of the reason for this dynamic between the teacher and the student is b

I have a social work background which, in my work has always been integrated with some component of teaching, both in and out of the classroom. I can teach most K-12 subjects, college prep courses and provide tutoring services including assessment and curriculum development. I tend to be rather versatile in my teaching methods as I adapt to the learning style of the student. It's what I have found most effective in improving the quality of their educational experience. I play tournament chess and enjoy coaching chess club as well. I ascribe to Gardner's 8 Stages of Intelligence theory, which purports the belief that every student is gifted, intelligent and capable of learning in a manner that conducive to their own unique style. As a teacher, I use myself as a tool to help facilitate the learning process.

I've worked numerous jobs, none of which were fulfilling except the ones where I worked with children, particularly students who were troubled or had learning disabilities. I was a theatre major in college, so you might be quick to think I was a flake or someone who just coasted by through college, but I graduated with a 3.7 GPA, receiving some of my best scores in Logic and History, but my favorite subject was Shakespearean literature. I've worked with many children over the years in both a daycare and classroom setting, some easier than others, but I respected and enjoyed working with all of them. I have a fun and vibrant personality and a great sense of humor which draws people in. My passion and joie de vivre is infectious. I'm not going to lie; I hated school when I was younger. Some people might think this a drawback when hiring someone as a tutor, but I think it has made me m
