As a Political Science major at the University of Southern California, and a current PhD student in the subject, all of my core classes focused on politics and government. In addition, as evidenced in my resume, politically I identify myself as an independent and have spent literally thousands of hours since I was in high school interning and helping campaign for political office-seekers or their rival incumbents. At times I supported Democrats and at other times I supported Republicans or Independents. I am well-versed in government and am an extremely capable and informative tutor in the subject. I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfec

The way I teach is very simple. I explain my teaching style using the analogy of a mother bird teaching her baby how to fly. The mother guides her baby, teaching it, showing it the ropes of life, and when it comes time, the baby flies off on its own with no help. This is quite similar to how I teach and tutor children. I guide them through lesson plans and homework with a helping hand, and when it comes time for them to "fly," I let them go and hopefully they will understand the concept and be able to work individually. When this happens, it is truly an inspiring moment, to be there and watch children grow. Even before I graduated from NDNU with my teaching credential in English and social studies, I have tutored for several years in almost every subject. I have come to understand that each individual has his/her own unique way of learning.

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

I love helping children learn. I am very patient and considerate. The most rewarding feeling is knowing that you helped someone. I believe that the skills we learn throughout grade school help us persevere later in life. When I was in grade school I had difficulty articulating my words and was placed into speech therapy. Looking back, I am eternally thankful for those mentors and teachers whom helped me succeed. I have obtained two B.A.'s within the past 6 years. I have extensive study in all subjects. My best subjects are math, science, and social studies. I have also studied the piano for 15 years and violin for 8 years.

A child must understand what he or she is reading. It is hard to do, especially with the books that are out there. I feel I can impart some knowledge to a student. I can make him or her feel comfortable reading. I am a writer. I am not published, but I have learned a lot in the English language. My experience working with mentally ill kids a hew years ago is a great help. I want to help young people with reading skills. I think that I can do it. I am going to live in Las Vegas, and am moving today. I need work. I feel that I am qualified. I am not an extraordinary... teacher. I need a more ordinary student. I feel that I can help anyone read well... Initially I will be living in The Valley Of Fire.

I have a good understanding of many different subjects, due to my ongoing search to learn new things. I have always loved learning, and I strive to share my love of learning with others. While in high school, I focused my studies on art and foreign language. I continued to study foreign language in college, as well as Biology and Philosophy. I have earned a BA in Anthropology, which has allowed me to study and understand many of the subjects in which I am interested. I also have extensive experience in writing essays, research papers, grant proposals, and laboratory reports. During my time in college, I have tutored fellow students in Anthropology/Archaeology, Biology, Philosophy, and Spanish. My teaching style is based on the idea that each person learns at their own pace, in their own style. It takes patience and creativity to find the ways that the individual is going to learn

When considering a major area of study in college I was pulled between my two loves- Art and English. Though my ability to draw and paint suggested Art would be the natural choice, my love of reading and writing, and my achievement of the highest verbal SAT score in my high school class, presented English as an equally attractive alternative. It was after completing two semesters of a basic Liberal Arts curriculum that I decided to major in Art. In addition to the studio classes required by this emphasis, I studied and wrote papers for classes in English, History, Art History, Religion, and Philosophy. My writing, whether creative or involving research, consistently earned high marks. After returning to school to earn a BFA in Illustration and working as a children's book illustrator, among other assignments, I find myself once again writing. It is with a great deal of pleasure that I

In my tutoring experience, I have worked with a wide variety of students at different learning levels. The teaching style I employ is tailored to the needs of each individual student. With mathematics, I emphasize an understanding of the key concepts underlying individual problems. I have also found that positive reinforcement is an effective tool for helping students who may be struggling with the material. I have an extensive background in Mathematics. I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland College Park. I have experience tutoring in advanced Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and SAT preparation. I feel I have sufficient expertise in Physics, Biology, and History to tutor in these areas as well.
