As stated above I enjoy working with children of all ages, I have made a difference in their lives as well as them making a difference in my life. I love the many challenges that teaching brings, and believe its a very good experience to discover. I like to use my learning structure to assist in tutoring and making a difference in children to better their education and future. As a graduate I have done tutoring to enhance my credibility to teach possibly in the future with my major in criminal justice. I'm currently enrolled for my Masters in criminal justice and criminology, and I plan to futher my education to teach within that field. During the last past 3 summers I have tutored young children as well as been a mentor to their studies. I enjoy working in this field of study, and plan to continue to do so.

I believe in the power of positive teaching. I think that most students live up to or down to your expectations. If you expect them to do well, they frequently do. Sometimes all that is needed is for teachers and other persons whose opinions matter to exhibit faith in the student's ability. But it is also often necessary to help them identify what doesn't work and find new approaches that will. Writing is a skill that is crucial to academic success in college; students must excel in writing to do well in an academic environment. Writing is also a useful skill when it comes to thinking and to organizing one's thoughts. I am most comfortable with tutoring students who are preparing for college. Public school is not always rigorous enough for gifted students. When instruction fails to keep students engaged, they learn poor study habits. Ideally, students master study techniques before enter

I did my field experience teaching in Elementary and Middle schools. I have a bachelor degree in English Linguistics and a minor in teaching English as a second language. I have a very good knowledge of grammar and writing compostions and research papers. I have volunteered at various local ESL organizations. I taught Writing and Cultural orientation at the Intensive English Center in Saint Cloud State University for two semester. I love to teach reading and writing. I take the role of an expert as well as a facilitator while I'm teaching. I try to maintain status as an expert among students by displaying detailed knowledge and by challenging students to enhance their competence. I also emphasize the personal nature of teacher-student interactions. I guide and direct students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make

I consider myself fortunate to have been able to help children of many ages throughout my teaching career. I ascribe to the philosophy which says that all students are capable of being successful if they are given enough assistance and opportunities to learn. I believe that with understanding, patience and the correct materials, all students can learn to be successful. In today's high-pressured societal demands, many students feel unable to achieve on the standardized tests necessary for college admittance and yearly tests in school as well. Through respect and clear cut directions, I motivate students to be the best learners they can be. For 9 of my 31 years in education, I was a classroom teacher. For 22 of those years, I was a reading teacher and instructional resource teacher. These positions required me to test students who were new to the district, do turnkey workshops for the facu

I am a graduate of Salisbury University with a BA in Visual Communications and more than three years experience working hands on with students ages three - adults. After studying Fine Art, Media, and Liberal Arts at Pratt Institute, Columbus College of Art and Design, and Salisbury University, I spent two years as an instructor and Assistant Manager of a private art studio, where art was taught in cooperation with other subjects, often along side science, history, and geography. During that time and in the year that followed I have also been a private instructor for children and adults in the arts and English. As a teacher, I strive to discover how each student processes and interprets information and then tailor my lessons to meet individual needs. Along with subject information, I incorporate visual and tactile examples when relevant and always encourage students to follow their own cu

I graduated from St. Lawrence University, a liberal arts foundation of learning that has served me judiciously on the metaphorical road of life. For the past several years I have applied my interest for the ocean environment, marine mammals and teaching to volunteer for education outreach in schools and the local communities in coastal Delaware. A wise man once said; to learn, read; to know, write. But to master, teach. Teach is one of those nifty reflexive verbs where the teacher and pupil are interchangeable. If both are patient, resourceful, imaginative and caring the learning becomes less process and more flow. This is always my goal in teaching: creating a positive and flexible environment for all the principles involved. And of course, frequently there must be laughter.

I'm currently enrolled in a Masters of Arts of Teaching graduate program.Former instructors, professors and employers describe me as personable, ambitious, confident, reliable, disciplined and a dedicated individual. I graduated in 2006 from Saint Joseph’s University with Bachelor of Arts degrees in English and Fine Arts. As a junior, I was chosen to study art abroad. Upon my return, I was selected to be a Residential Assistant. In this role I completed a comprehensive training program focusing on communication skills, counseling and health, emergency response, team building and conflict resolution. In addition, I created, planned, and implemented educational, social, and recreational programs with residents and faculty. I am confident I have a gift for recognizing talent in every individual; becoming an instructor is my calling and I am eager to pursue my dream. The formal training I

I entered DeVry University in Summer of 2007 as an Accounting/Business Major looking to aquire my Associates of Applied Science in Accounting. I took a variety of general education classes such as business, math, english, and science. I attended the school for a few months earning credits before having to take a break to go home and be with my father who was suffering from a serious illness. I did extremely well in the areas of math and english which required extensive hours spent on research and studying. I have been privately tutoring children over the past three years. I took a few classes on teaching at a small community college while I was still in high school. I still am considering becoming a teacher after going back to school to complete my major in accounting. I've always been a stronger believer in one-on-one teaching working more proficiently then being taught in a classroom.
