Law Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Phoenix, AZ

I am a firm believer that children are eager to learn when they are challenged and encouraged to reach beyond their own expectations. Children need to be encouraged and given positive re-enforcement when they succeed as well as when they are having difficulty. I have several years of teaching for church groups. In addition I have served as a substitute teacher at a private Catholic High School. In addition, as a research assistant in graduate school I have had to edit numerous scholarly articles.

I have a strong interest in mathematics in the areas of algebra, geometry, and statistics. I have completed 9 credits of statistics and 6 credits of algebra. I can also tutor in business and psychology. I have been working with in academia for the past 3 years and am working towards becoming an adjunct-faculty at the local college. I find enthusiasm and interest in the subject taught is very important. If I can convey the interest and fun that I get from working problems and show it through my teaching, students who fear or hate math or any subject tend to rethink their position from a disabled frame of mind to one that exudes confidence in their approach.

Every child has his/her own unique style of learning. Some children are visual learners while others are auditory learners. My job is to identify each child's best learning method in order to maximize their success. I am patient, structured, and am an encourager. I believe all children can learn. I have high expectations, while at the same time never demand more than a child can give. My job is to foster a love of learning and reading, never to frustrate a child. I love all levels of education, especially the upper elementary grades through high school. I graduated from an Ivy-League school with honors. I earned a masters in social work from the University of Chicago, with an interdisciplinary emphasis in economics, public policy, social work, and law.

I find that teaching works best if you tailor the material to your audience - i.e. you don't want to lose them OR bore them. Use what they know as a foundation to build on to teach new concepts. If material is difficult or unfamiliar to your class it's important to be prepared in advance with several approaches to get the material across. Review material periodically to reinforce confidence in the students and always make sure they have a firm grasp on material before moving on.

I have 3 years of experience teaching adults how to build computers and install/configure operating systems and applications.

I love to teach. I have experience with 5-50 years old and, if pressed, could not name a favorite group. I believe that everyone can learn; some of us just process information in different ways. As a tutor it is my job to discover how a student processes information and adapt my lesson to accommodate them. Learning can be both fun and serious, as long as it is productive. As part of my lifelong love of learning and teaching, I began tutoring when I was just fourteen years old. While in high school, I usually tutored math (mostly algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and general science. Once I moved to college, I began to work with middle school as well as high school students again in mostly math and science. However, I have a BA in politics and history; therefore I am extremely confident in many liberal arts subjects. I have also earned an MBA which helped to hone my grammatical and com

My method is to reach students exactly where there at and use methods that would stimulate all types of learners . Once I was teaching a group of sixth graders who would be entering Algebra soon. I gave them a true life math example. Our equasion; a party with the number of students, quantity of different items and costs. When we devided the items their costs with the number of students we came up with how much each student had to pitch in. In this example I had some items that were to be used and they were able to touch them. I also told them very clearly what was going on while I was writing it all down. This stimulated many different learning types My teaching experience began at a Riverside County Probation Facility for Wards of the court in Banning California. I began there as a Building Maintainance Mechanic and worked my way up to a vocational education teacher. After that I work
