My educational background in the sciences [chemistry, medical biology, and medicine]. and music has enabled me to have a broad range of academic experiences. I specialize in instructional learning in the arts and sciences, specifically medicinal biology and music. Because I do scientific research and writing, I have skills related to the language arts as well as computer science. I have experience teaching and tutoring various subjects on all levels, from preschool to college. My teaching style is based upon where the student is in terms of their educational level. I work very hard at understanding the student's academic needs. Then I assist the student in improving their educational skills in the subject being studied. I always emphasize the fact that everyone is capable of learning and that mastering the language of any academic discipline is part of becoming proficient in it.

As indicated above my teaching has not been in a formal setting. I practiced on the job by 1) knowing what I am talking about, 2) listening to the person desiring knowledge, 3) allowing that person to come to believe that there is no mystery or magic to it, 4) explaining not just the "how" but the "why" of it and finally, 5) practice-correct-practice. As a manager and coach I have formally and informally trained employees within my unit and provided same to those interested outside my area. Many have said "you should have been a teacher" over the years but more lucrative pursuits were my focus. I have taken the time to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity to teach a financial literacy class to a prospective homeowner. My interest motivated me to attend the Financial Literacy Commission meeting in DC on May 27th at the US Treasury Builidng and it gave me ideas on how to merge my pet project

Since beginning my studies in the creative writing program at Purchase College in 2004, writing and literature have become the number one passion and focus of my life. I have been fortunate to study with distinguished lecturers, professors and publishing poets from universities like Columbia and Harvard in the the small program at Purchase, like William Wadsworth, Cecily Parks, and Monica Ferrell. Last month I was recognized for my dedication to poetry and the creative writing program by the faculty when I was awarded the Friends of Humanities American Society of Poetry Senior Prize. I think this is partly due to how I have continued to challenge and encourage my peers to excel and develop at love of literature and writing like I have. I aspire to earn an MFA and eventually teach English and Creative Writing at the university level. I feel that being a English and Writing tutor wou

Graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism has given me the easygoing background to educate others in writing and reading. I am always the person asked by friends and family when they are not sure how to spell a word or if they need something to be proofread. I enjoy reading and writing very much and would love an opportunity to spread my passion of knowledge through reading. Ie have recently been thinking of getting certified in teaching to be a substitute or tutor. I just needed a reason to complete the task. Throughout my years in school I wrote and read everything necessary and I believe I would have no problem helping others achieve their goals of learning how to read and write to the best of their ability. I enjoy helping people learn something new. I think anyone can do anything they put their mind to. I would allow the student time to get to know me so they would feel comf

It's true that every student learns at a different pace with a different style. I like to see myself as a cameleon teacher, catering my format to individual needs. My style tends to be laid back so that students are comfortable expressing their likes and dislikes with me, curbing their fear of not understanding something. I love to use metaphors, pictures, examples and stories to illustrate the subject in a new and perhaps clearer way. I don't teach and run - I make sure the student understands before moving on to the next problem. I have them work through something in front of me so I can make sure they know what they're doing. And, finally - importantly - I keep a healthy, balanced sense of humor. My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to enter the

Working with children and seeing them succeed, is one of the few things in life that bring me great joy. I love helping children reach the full potential. Not all children learn the same way therefore it is important to know different methods of teaching and making the work appealing to the student. I believe that showing the child that you genuinely care about him is a big part of helping them reach their potential. A child should know that I am available to him at anytime and for any reason. Teaching is a full time job and plays a delegate in a child’s development. The teacher I remember from high school and elementary are the one who showed me that they truly care about me and wanted to see me succeed in life. These teachers made the difference therefore I have adopted this philosophy when I am called to help. Teach or counsel with children. While attending Pensacola Christian Colleg
