I'm a follower of traditional teaching methods. I believe in the unique triangular team-centered approach involving myself, students and parents. Creating Independent Learners by setting an atmosphere that is nurturing and promotes critical thinking skills by asking questions thus creating Independent learners. My experience dates back to when I was in high school in the early 80's tutoring students and family members. I've also taught classes on Management of Aggressive Behavior / Appled Non-Violence to mental health professionals throughout the Las Vegas Valley and surrounding communities. I also worked as teacher assistant in the mental health setting working with special needs students.

For the same reason American History is one of my most knowledgeable subjects, World History is too. And World History is a subject that, without sounding too arrogant (because I truly am not) I have mastered and have and will be able to transfer that knowledge further. 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-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT, ACT, AP, other exams, and simply for help in regular classes at all levels. This company is so successful and growing so fast because of the unparalleled improvements among student

I graduate from UNLV with a degree in Biology-Ecology. I took classes up to Calculus II, Biochemistry II, Organic Chemistry II, Microbiology and Physics II for example.

I have also tutored at Landero Learning Center for 3 years. I tutor elementary and middle school students in Science, Math, Social Studies and Spanish. I also go to an 8th grade student's home for private tutoring classes, 2 hours a day.

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.

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 activities, and going from guided instruction to independent practice. 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 tut

Having earned a Master’s degree in English & Comparative Literature from Columbia University in NYC, I have put my education to excellent use. Years of teaching, marketing, globalization planning, writing, and editing work experiences have honed my skills. My extensive travels have exposed me to diverse societies, and enlightened me on invaluable knowledge of different languages and cultures. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few goo

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. In college I became very interested in theatre and have extensive study in directing, stage managing, and construction. In high school I tutored middle school and elementary school students in math. I have worked as a teacher's aid in mathematics. In colleg

Graduating with a degree in History Education has been my goal since grade school. Through my various courses and work experience I have been able to gain a certification as a licensed teacher and tutor. My experiences have helped me develop excellent people skills and an ability to direct student learning. Also, my work as helped me to develop effective one on one, group, peer and written forms of communication. I have worked as a student teacher, manager, substitute and tutor during the past six years and am confident, capable and willing to do my best to help students achieve their goals and hopefully become life long learners. I am a very hands on teacher. I enjoy finding activities that will help your child achieve success in their studies as well as help them find a learning style they can apply to all disciplines.

My teaching style is more visual than verbal. Math and science are visual arts, meaning one must see and understand a formula before it is to be solved. In my experience, merely obtaining a solution to a problem is not learning, it is the journey from unsolved question to simplified answer is true knowledge. I have no formal experience in tutoring or teaching, however I was quite driven to achieve my goals in Nuclear Physics. My field has enabled me to gain a great understanding of math and science and how they are dependent on each other. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing countless research papers, theses, and laboratory reports, along with essays in other areas of study.

My mother was a teacher for 33 years. Many summers she worked as a tutor and all through high-school and college I helped her. I graded student's papers, read with them, and helped with their homework. When I was in college, I tutored students in Spanish and English as a second language. My strongest subject is mathematics which is why I became an accountant. My grammatical skills are good due to writing reports when I worked as an auditor for the Gaming Control Board. I like my students and we seem to have a good connection. I will not preach. I was a public speaker for three years and know many techniques to communicate a message, without putting your audience to sleep. Practice makes excellence; therefore, repetition is a good learning technique. I believe every child has a capacity to excel, some may just need a little dedication.

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

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 just finished my student teacher internship at Spring Valley High School. I was a tutor for the Upward Bound Program at the University of Nevada, Reno for three years. While working there I tutored high school students in all core subject areas. I also have a math background, so I became the go to tutor for math. I also have ex
