I want to help you achieve your learning goals!

This is what seems to be working for my student who is currently taking a class at the University of Dayton. She is an adult learner and her goal is to just understand how to use Adobe Creative Suite software in her work as an artist. She goes to her class. She works on the assignments as best as she can and reviews the notes she took in class. She makes a list of anything she doesn't understand or needs more information about. We meet for our tutoring session and I answer her questions and show her how to complete her assignments if necessary. I am a creative, approachable, goal-oriented teacher. I think it is important to first determine and establish what the student's goals are. Then, together we will create a plan to reach those goals. I understand that every student has a unique learning style. I am flexible in that my style of teaching will be determined by the student and our ... read more

Throughout my high school career I have been devoted to academic success of my fellow classmates as well as my self. I continued this attitude in the accomplishment of achieving a BS degree in biology. Along the way of my academic success I have acquired multiple skills in every subject that has added to my love of learning and discovering. Over a fifteen year period I have used the knowledge that I have obtained to aid in others in their own pursuit of academic achievement.
I take the necessary time to learn the behavior and learning ability of the child in order to customize a teaching style that will be most beneficial. I believe that the most effective type of relationship between a teacher and a student is friendship to reduce any anxieties that may otherwise hinder the child’s progress. I am calm, well mannered, kind and devoted to the success of others. Teachers should be fi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an educator of over 15 years. My area of expertise is English/Language Arts and my primary audience over much of my teaching career has been average to advanced students in grades 7-12. I have, however, successfully taught elementary school students and members of the "at-risk" population. In addition to being a classroom teacher, I have served as a Lead teacher, Acting Principal, teacher mentor, resource teacher, workshop facilitator and more. As an added, I am a fiction novelist who has penned five books. I am also the owner and operator of an independently run publishing company.
I am a teacher who believes that children are only limited by their mindset. If it is truly a child's desire to learn, he will. Children choose to fail. My job as an educator is to make it difficult for a child to choose to fail. My lessons are typically innovative and evoke intrinsic motiv ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My job is not simply to impart information but to help students develop confidence in a learning style that is unique to that individual. I initially encourage students to describe their level of current understanding of the subject, then ask questions that connect subject matter ideas; every learner has some level of existing knowledge, however rudimentary. Therefore it is my job to be first and foremost an avid observer and listener. This method builds the foundation on what the student already knows, but may not recognize. Perhaps the most valuable characteristic of my style is my enthusiasm not only for a scientific understanding of nature, but also for the enjoyment of learning. A valuable approach to not knowing something is to learn how to ask good questions. When we begin to appreciate learning not as a goal but a journey, then it becomes more enjoyable and greater motivation ... read more

As a daughter of a college professor, I was raised to respect education and its many benefits. I have earned two degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in English and a Masters of Nursing. Both of these degrees has enabled me to gain an understanding in the humanities and in the social and life sciences. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to my college Writing courses, due to writing research papers and care plans, and due to writing free-lance for the newspaper of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. During the last 12 years, I have tutored freshmen college students in writing, and I have taught a fourth grade religion class, natural family planning to young adults, and a reproductive health class to young teenage mothers.
I enjoy teaching, especially with children ages 12 and older. I believe that all children have the ability to learn if the ... read more

As a parent concerned about the condition of the public school system we decided to homeschool our last two children. I began teaching them in the first grade and have continued up to, and including, the present time. My son is now a high school freshman and my daughter is in the eighth grade. During this time I helped start a homeschool cooperative. We wanted to continue homeschooling our children, but we also wanted to provide them with more choices taught by someone experienced, or having an expertise in an area. The parents, myself included, taught a wide variety of classes. I have taught english, history, reading, poetry, Bible, math, science, spanish, cooking, and music.
I love children and I love teaching children. I teach using a variety of methods. I have learned that children have different ways of learning. Some children are visual learners so I used plenty of v ... read more

I believe in allowing students the room to direct their own learning. Students who believe that they play an important role in their own education find a deeper level of satisfaction and pride both in their abilities and in their studies. Learning should be fun and exciting and offer students the ability to challenge themselves, explore their world, and see the value of knowledge and academics. Individual instruction is an ideal learning environment and offers the opportunity to tailor a student's program of study to their own unique learning style and interest.

I graduated from Wright State University with my Bachelors Degree in Social Science Education in 2006 and my Masters Degree in Education in 2007. I currently hold an Ohio teaching license and am certified to teach Integrated Social Studies in grades 7-12. The social studies content courses, both graduate and undergraduate, have given me a strong academic background in all areas of the social studies including: history, sociology, psychology, political science, geography, government and economics. The graduate program’s education courses have also given me a strong, theory and strategy based background as an educator. My full year of student teaching experience at Fairborn High School helped me build my confidence and teaching expertise.

I have taught as a tutor in High School, and college. I also taught in the adult education system of Fairborn, Ohio. I have acted as a group home monitor for MR/DD adults. I am presently tutoring a young adult in cost control and algebra.
I tailor my teaching style to the student. I first evaluate where the student is by building rapport, discussing the problem he/she is having, talking to the teacher, and talking to the parents. I then begin focusing on the area where the student is having difficulties. It may be that the student requires help with homework as well as review of fundamentals. I address both areas, always encouraging the student.

I love working with children on every level but especially younger children. I believe all children can grow through proper placement and necessary steps of encouragement. My teaching style is a very hands-on approach with each student. Firm guidelines but a flexible and encouraging environment are what allows a child to develop their talents and their own personal style of learning. I believe teachers need to provide a stable and nuturing place for students to be creative and expressive. I strive to make a difference in all of the children's lives that I touch; I would like to do the same for your child as well.
In the last eight years, I have worked diligently in my college coursework to attain two bachelor degrees, BA in Mass Communication and a BA in Criminal Justice. I was driven by my passion for learning new things and desire to be a well-rounded individual. Currently, I am ... read more
