Children are intrinsically curious and interested learners. My role as an educator is to provide a safe environment for risk-taking that engages learners. Developing a relationship with the children is always part of the learning process. Through my teaching experiences and continuing education, I have learned the importance of constructivist learning as well as other approaches that help students when they are struggling with a particular concept. I believe that it’s important to provide children with an appropriate level of challenge as they are learning. To do so, they need experiences that are guided, then shared, and finally that are independent. Assessment is an important part of the teaching and learning process. I use assessments that inform my next moves as a teacher, and make sure that the assessment and teaching materials I am using directly apply to the skills and conc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In the past,I've taught ESL, Health-care Occupations & Opportunities,both MRI/CT Applications. I also worked for AOL as an on-line teacher/tutor/mentor in their Academic Assistance Center.I hold two cleared teaching credentials one for Vocational Ed.and the other for Adult Ed. These qualify me to teach GED,ESL and any health-care related class. Currently,I'm working as a substitute teacher in Weld County, a grandparent mentor in Larimer County, as well as a part-time instructor at ELTC teaching courses in Medical Terminology and Phlebotomy.
I like the students to learn how to learn. While I will guide them, test them and occasionally point them toward appropriate reference materials, I do not do the work for them....that's their job and the only way they will develop the appropriate learning skills, self-confidence and a thirst for knowledge.

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to create a fun learning environment, ensuring the youth can ask questions, have flexibility at their learning speed and still master the material in ways that will stay with them. Depending on the subject area, I like to give hypotheticals, questions and real-world examples that will help achieve memorization easier.
After graduating from Georgetown University in Washington D.C., I returned to Wyoming to work in politics and government. I have been asked to teach chapters on Government in the local high schools as well as teaching Sunday School classes locally in Cheyenne. I serve in the State Legislature as well as working in the community to help youth succeed in their goals.

I have recently been introduced to the teaching field by substituting elementary students at the local school. Im a social-able person which helps me interact with the students better. Students feel comfortable with me because they think that I'm a outgoing person easy to relate to. I have patience with the students because I go at a pace that suits the students needs therefore it makes the students comfortable to learn. If they have a question I show them exactly how to accomplish tasks. I believe patience is a virtue to having success in the learning process of a student.

Teaching is the greatest job I have ever had. I have never felt more rewarded than when teaching a child or adult something new or explaining a concept to them that is difficult. To see satisfaction on their faces is pure joy. From my previous tutoring and teaching experience I have learned to be patient but strong. I like to use creative methods to get children to think outside the box.
My tutoring began while I was studying at Montana State University. My Junior year I enrolled in a class that was based around community service and my role was tutoring middle school aged children. The tutoring was in a small group setting and was on any subject the children needed help in but mainly in reading comprehension. After college, I attended Via Lingua where I became certified to teach ESL. It was here that my tutor experience expanded. For 4 months, I not only taught night clas ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Each child that walks into my classroom deserves an excellent education from a caring and committed teacher. Each student deserves to work and learn in a structured, well-organized and comfortable environment. My responsibility as an educator is to provide my students with the skills they will utilize and apply inside and outside the walls of the classroom. As an educator, I must maintain a relationship of mutual respect with the students and allow them to express opinions and ideas in the classroom. The classroom should be a place for the exchange and acquisition of knowledge for both the teacher and the student. My goal as an educator is to provide all of my students the opportunity to gain a quality education that leads to a pursuit of higher education or an improved role in the workforce.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a University of Wyoming graduate, I have had the life long dream to teach young children. I have earned one bachelor degree in elementary education and recently pursued my masters degree in reading and literacy through Walden University. I currently teach fourth grade and have the experience of teaching reading, writing, math, social studies and science. I plan on furthering my education through professional developments and other education resources.
Teaching is the most rewarding job there is to offer. I enjoy teaching all types of children in a variety of subjects. It is my belief that all children can learn. It is finding how a child learns is the key to a childs success in school. I am a high structured teacher that has the patience and willingness to find what it takes for a student to learn. If given the opportunity to teach children individually I will make sure it will ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from the University of Wyoming within 3 1/2 years and student taught in first grade. Since then, I have been teaching in several preschool programs and spent part of one year as a long term substitute for a Title 1 program. This position enabled me to spend extra time and gain experience in the Guided Reading program.
As I think of my life without teaching, I cannot imagine what else I would be doing. I believe that children learn in a variety of ways. Some through listening, some through reading or watching, and some through doing. My goal is to find the way that works for each child and use that method to help them on their way to reaching their full potential.

After graduating with a degree in Chemistry Education I went off to teach. Six years of professional teaching experience later there are few teaching challenges that I have come up against and not found a working solution to. Native tribes learning math and science, migrant children studying Earth Science, an adult looking for help with some chemistry problems, or an Expeditionary Learning student looking to tackle real world problems; whatever your background or needs I can help. I also have experience teaching college level laboratories, and have a deep passion for helping students grasp the ideas behind chemistry, physics and biology.

As the result of three college degrees (BS, MBA, and EdD) plus 20 years as a college professor and researcher/analyst, I possess extentive experience teaching and using statistics, algebra, business math, research skills, report writing, and a variety of business disciplines. A 30 year passion for history has resulted in an encyclopedic knowledge of American and world history. Although I do not possess a credential in history, I have been told that what I know and the manner in which I present it makes it fascinating for the listener. I am not the boring, egg-head type, just a regular guy who will probably show up in blue jeans, who is enthusiastic, and who will set you/your student at ease right away.
I do indeed love to teach. My approach is relaxed, well-prepared, encouraging, and humorous when appropriate. I prefer interactive communications. My passion for the subject matter ... read more

Coaching and mentoring has always been the cornerstone of my professional career as well as my academic pursuits. My professional experience includes Chief Operating Officer of a large LLC and a Bank President. I received my B.A. from the University of Phoenix in Criminal Justice Administration. Following, I was immediately accepted into a PhD program at Arizona State University. As a PhD student I study all facets of psychology within; and pertaining to, organizations. This includes styles of leadership, motivation, and stress of high-risk teams such as NASA and Special Forces.
Every great endeavor begins with a great plan. Once the topic is determined and the current level of the student is ascertained I begin by creating a custom program to get the child up to speed in a fun, engaging, and high-energy format. Drawing from my education and experience, I can relate com ... read more

I started teaching while in college; I worked as a Teaching Assistant when school was in session (teaching college students) and as a camp counselor at a French immersion camp in the summers. This allowed me to work with students ages 8-22 and to develop different teaching styles for different ages. I am currently writing my PhD thesis; although the subject is Francophone, I'm writing in English and feel that I have strong writing skills and the ability to teach them. I've taught English to non-native speakers in France as an "English assistant" as well as in the US as an ESL tutor. I recently started tutoring in a local school and am working with students on a variety of subjects, from GED to English.
I have a communicative and interactive approach to teaching. I believe that a child learns best when actively involved in the process of learning and discovery. I am also a very pati ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My degrees have taken me places that I never thought they would. I was excited to teach English in a school in Costa Rica for one year. There I was able to learn Spanish quickly as well as help elementary school children learn English. I taught grammar as well as science. I also tutored on the side in all subjects. Previous to this experience I tutored a fourth grader in geography, history, and spelling. In college I used many skills that helped me to prepare for teaching. A short list of these skills is math, creative writing, computer skills, memorization, and art work. Due to the fact that I was a science and art major I wrote many essays and made many different types of projects. For two semesters I did microbiology research, where I learned critical thinking and lab technique. I enjoy teaching children and have been assisting children in their homework for many years.

I view the "cognitive reductionism" currently driving educational standardization as problematic. Every single student has already learned a great deal without being taught; an educator’s challenge is to negotiate the various experiences and sociocultural influences to increase student awareness and use of those inherent, autonomous learning capabilities. A succesful teacher can deliver individualized instruction, and promote critical thinking and reciprocal learning experiences.
As an undergraduate, I tutored peers in comprehension and completion of English writing assignments. While in graduate school, I taught second graders the art and craft of poetry writing. I have tutored/taught various groups and individuals, including Bosnian refuges, at-risk youth in residential treatment, and adult community college students.

More About This Tutor...

I worked as a tutor all through college at Iowa State University. I tutored Math (up through Trig), general and organic chemistry, and statistics 101. These were the main classes I taught, but I also did Spanish 1, ecology, and food science/nutrition. I also tutored some high school students in all subjects but mostly math and science.
I love helping people. I believe that no one is stupid just some people are better in some areas than other people. I enjoy helping people learn because I love seeing the "light bulb click on above their head" when they finally grasp a concept. I try to simplify the subject (or put it in terms the student will grasp) so the student will understand it, thus my teaching method depends on how the student learns.
