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 tutored in every subject area, and feel comfortable with any subject area. 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

It is my philosophy that an effective tutor not only tutors but also inspires. I am patient and very intuitive. If I sense that a student is trying to mask a weakness in a particular area, I will make every effort to reinforce the concept or idea. I make it a point to identify and strengthen weak areas. I will make every effort to ensure that the student meets his or her goal. The only requirement of the student is a willingess to succeed. I graduated from The Honors College at the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering (BSChE). The rigor of the engineering curriculum coupled with strong liberal arts and research experiences of The Honors College has provided me with both the technical skills and knowledge to effectively tutor, engage and inspire students.

Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the lead special education teacher at a high school asked me to offer assistance. I was able to observe different teaching styles in classroom settings and to provide individual instruction to students with varying learning styles. My most recent position at Total Education Solutions offered me the opportunity to be in a classroom setting. Although my placement was with one child, my presence and skills in teaching and behavior modification called me to work in small groups and with other individual students. I adapted therapies and curriculum in order to fit the needs of the children. Working in conjunction with the Los Angeles Unified School Dist

I can't wait to begin my career as a teacher. I am a advocate for education. My teaching style includes lessons revolved around collberative learning and discovery based exploration. I believe the best learning involves real life relavancy for students. My best experiences have been when my students walk out of the classroom still discussing the lesson. I also try to promote improving literacy in all my lessons. I always to try to incorporate various scaffolds within my lessons such as graphic organizers and media to guide students in the process.

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.

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

I have a great love for education and teaching. I feel that all children have a talent that needs to be nurtured. All students have the ability to learn, just not all in the same manner. I believe that no child's best effort is an F. I believe that all children can be taught if they are comfortable in their surroundings. I feel that if I can make one child feel suucessful, then I feel that I have accomplished my goal. As a graduate of the University of Southern California, I valued education and teaching most of my life. I earned my BS degree in General Studies with a minor in English. I have taught grades K-1, 2, 5, 6, 5-8 Reading, 6-8 English, 9-12 Special Education Inclusion English, and 6-8 Special Education SDC.In addition I have tutored students from grades K-8 in my private child care facility.

Teaching has always been a part of my life. My mother was constantly teaching me, along with my siblings and the twenty other children that ran in and out of our home. I believe strongly in a teaching method that provides encouragement and positivism; one that highlights the good before pointing out the mistakes. My goal is to listen to the child and hear what his or her needs are and where he or she is struggling, and then to actively tackle one issue at a time through creative and interactive activities, problem-solving, and constructive criticism. I believe in children, their innocence, their carefree energy and endless intelligent ideas and innovations. My ultimate goal in life is to make a difference, and children are a great place to start! Growing up my mother ran a tutoring program out of our home. This is where I initially learned the skills involved in tutoring. Ever since I wa

I get a thrill from experiencing a student achieving the Ah-ha! moment of learning. I employ multiple modalities of teaching, since most students have multiple modalities of learning. My goal is to facilitate my students to become independent learners. I employ Socratic teaching methods. I don't give answers. That's too easy. I have found that students retain learning when they work through the solution. I offer students skills to ask questions about their world. I am fortunate to have multiple intelligence. Since an early age, I have been motivated to increase my knowledge base and skill levels. My desires have motivated me to earn a double majored BS in agriculture, an applied science, and a MS in biology. I taught laboratory classes while I was a student. I began working as a tutor in 1999. This motivated me to become teacher trained. I am an AVID certified tutor. I have tutored midd
