I have been a life-long learner and a teacher for the last five years. I taught college for two years and elementary school for three years in the classroom. I have been an on-line tutor for the past year. Although history is my passion and I love to teach and discuss it, I also enjoy teaching reading and math to elementary students that will use this knowledge to move ahead in life and realize theselves. I am a strong believer in Humanistic learning. The teacher begins with the student's prior knowledge and likes and moves forward from there relating it not only to the study of the subject, but also to how the subject will be applied in real world situations.

Study skills and techniques to help students with ADD/ADHD keep up with their studies. My teaching experience includes several semesters of substitute teaching, and tutoring locally for 2+ years as a part-time job, dirived from volunteering as a tutor for family members and friends. As a tutor, it is my job to help students with whatever it is they are struggling in and turn their struggles to successes. I specialize in working with those who want to become better readers - comprehension, fluence, vocabulary, phonics and spelling are all key to becoming a better reader. Patience is one word to describe my teaching style. My main objective is to work with students on goal-setting and then concentrate on how to meet those goals.

As a graduate from the University of the Pacific, I was able to attain the honor of Magnum Cum Laude while pursuing my BA in Psychology. The extensive research required in my field has allowed me to achieve a high level of writing skills, analytical skills, and math skills. For the past four years I have more specifically enjoyed being able to tutor students with mathematical difficulties, although I have also tutored in grammar, writing, and Spanish. Over the years I have been able to work with all ages ranging from preschoolers to adult students. What has struck me most is the vast array of learning styles. I take pride in my ability to successfully and effectively adapt to each and every student I mentor. My strong belief in all students to do well has been the greatest influence in my overall teaching style. I do not give the answer to a problem or show the student how to do it. In o

I come from a family of teachers and there was never any doubt which career I wanted to pursue as an adult.

I come from a family of seven children, four of them younger than me, and three of them adopted from the Philippines. Growing up in this setting has allowed me to become patient, tolerant, understanding, and loving. I believe that each child is different and capable of great things if acknowledged in an enthusiastic and attentive manner. I believe in asking children guiding questions to lead them through difficult material without directly presenting an answer or lecturing. I believe in using my own creativity to come up with new methods of learning so that children respond to subjects they may not otherwise enjoy. I plan on making a career out of teaching as it is my passion and I yearn to make a difference in the learning experiences of young children. I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understa

I love helping students to become confident and successful in school. I believe that students must play an active role in their own education and it is my job to foster this through creating meaningful lessons to fit each student's life. My patient and enthusiastic nature helps students to feel comfortable in my presence. When a student realizes that he or she is capable of learning in a one-on-one setting, they become successful in the classroom as well. I graduated with a BS in Elementary and Kindergarten Education. While attending college, I gained experience as a mentor and a teacher. I have worked with different age groups in a variety of settings. I volunteered for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America and for the PA Literacy Corps tutoring ESL adult learners. I refined my English grammar through writing essays and research papers. I have a concrete understanding of how students lear

I have been surrounded by children my entire life, and I am very confident in my abilities. In my opinion, the most important part of an effective teaching style is developing a connection with the child. When they look forward to seeing you and can tell that you are truly excited to be working with them, only then will you see their full effort being put forth. I make it a point to be outgoing, accessible, and most importantly, confident in their abilities. I believe in the principle of reinforcement through praise, and not only being a mentor/tutor, but also a friend. I am a firm believer in the importance of having children stick to schedules, and I incorporate this everyday into my work. During my five years of undergraduate work, I was very involved in the area of child education and care. I was a volunteer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters in Wisconsin, where I worked on elementary basi

As an Phi Thea Kappa and Who's Who Among Student's in American Unversities and Colleges honoree, I understand the importance of academic excellence. In fact, during the past 20 years I have taught children on various levels for examlpe, creative movement dance class, reading, writing and science. In addition, I am trained to work with children with special needs such as trichotillomania, obessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder and depression. The overall health, well-being and enlightenment of children and their families has been a passion of mine for over 15 years. As a Holistic Health Care Facilitator I understand that it is not just my job to educate children, but it is just as important to educate their parents.

As a recent college graduate, I uphold and advocate the educational experience as an essential part of life. It not only expands our mental capabilities, but also builds confidence into individuals. Both bachelor degrees that I have earned have done just that. My BA in Journalism and Media Studies has enhanced my writing and grammatical skills, while my BA in Political Science has deepened my analytical and logic skills. I have put these abilities into practice while tutoring for the last two years in English, reading comprehension, and social studies classes. My teaching style can be described in two words: persistent and patient. I believe that the reason why a student may seem disinterested in education is due to fear of not understanding the subject, embarrassment of failure, and/or lack of self-motivation or focus. But all of these can be overcome with a persistent tutor who does no
