Throughout my teaching career, I have learned to adjust instruction to meet the needs of individual students, create a supportive and encouraging classroom climate, and craft stimulating curricular activities. My overall goal is to provide students with a positive, inclusive learning environment in which they have every opportunity to achieve their full potential. For the past five years I have obtained a wealth of experience educating students within the public & private school environment. I currently teach fourth grade as well as the Newspaper Class. I have thrived in teaching grades four through eight at two prestigious private schools in Houston. I understand what is required to optimize a child's motivation & learning. In addition, I have other specific experiences and expertise related to teaching and education. First, while at St. Francis Episcopal Day School, I constructed an

I believe that students learn best when they can put meaning behind what they learn. I do my best to answer the question, "When am I ever going to use this?" I have found that my best teaching moments have been out of the formal classroom, when I am working in a one-on-one setting with my student. I can personalize their lesson so that they get the most out of their time with me. My ultimate goal is to work hard with your son or daughter so that they become an independent learner and do not have to rely on me to be successful. I have a tendency to push myself, I was persuing a double major in college in Math and Musical Theater but made a last minute decision to focus on my math career. I then pushed myself to achieve a master's degree in Secondary Education in only a year. I began tutoring in college when I decided that I wanted to go into teaching. I gained experiences tutoring

I follow the curriculum. First I go over the material that needs to be taught and I study it as if I were a student who didn't understand. Then, I create lesson plans that are interactive, fun, and modern. I do believe in older methods that work, for example grammar worksheets and journal writing every day to encourage practice. I'm a fun teacher, and that is what I believe kids need, especially today. Our youth is growing up in a generation of television screens at gas stations, ipods, cell phones with video cameras, myspace, facebook, etc. . . . Therefore it was my goal to find passion in their lives, first. For example Anthony Hicks didn't like English, but he loved playing football. I knew this was his motivation, so I focused on what he was good at as something to motivate him to get a good grade in my class. Anthony got an A, because of his hard work and determination. My t

With extensive (and recent) training in education, especially with regard to providing for the needs of diverse learners, I am prepared to work with each student and his or her family to develop an individualized learning plan that will help the student to become confident and proficient in whatever subject area he or she wishes to strengthen. My teaching style is flexible; I will use a variety of techniques and approaches based on what will work best with the student's individual learning style. My leanings are towards comprehensive, hands-on, discovery-based teaching; creating opportunities for my student to make real-world and personal connections with the information. Though I recently graduated with a BS in Childhood and Special Education, I have many years of experience as a teacher/trainer. I currently substitute teach Per Diem in several local districts for K-12 students. I als

• As a NESCAC undergraduate, I explored many areas of study. In addition to earning a BA in English and American Literature while completing a minor in African Studies, I also became fluent in French through study, travel, and teaching. My first teaching experiences were in high school, when I choreographed musicals and tutored a young Chinese boy in English. In college, I co-instructed a drum circle. Finally, this past summer I worked as a Residential Advisor at the Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy. In this position I was an academic advisor, a social mediator, and a confidante. In addition to formal tutoring, my strong writing skills have attracted peers in need of a second opinion on their work since high school. As someone who was enthralled with literature and learning at a young age, I truly enjoy guiding young people through their learning processes. I believe that everyone ha

I enjoy teaching one on one more then in a group class setting and I do enjoy teaching individual more then in a group setting. I do wish to teach "Chinese" as a personal language when I retire in the future if we don't have SS since I am a baby boomer (hope this is not true) Born as a Chinese national and I speak fluent Chinese Mandarin language and I studied Business in Accounting and graduated from SUNY Brockport in 1990 and my mathematical course I always get "A" on my grade (I even get 105 on my test score, believe it or not) and I still love math. Therefore I can tutoring not only business in Accounting and also Math or language in Chinese.

I was fortunate to receive a very distinguished education through a local school of the Arts program and an Ivy League institution. Both experiences produced within me a tenacious commitment to academic excellence, creative expression, and a strong desire to give back to my community. As a result, I have dedicated several years to serving the community in an educational capacity. I have tutored/taught students in grades pre-k to high school (including students with disabilities), in the subjects of math, ELA, science, social studies, and life skills. In addition, I am a prolific writer, and my literary skills have been utilized by employers for script/form letter writing and the production of staff training materials. I respect all children and the variety of ways in which they learn. I firmly believe that children (by nature) are curious about learning and therefore, capable of lea

As a Magna Cum Laude graduate, my ten years of professional teaching experience as a lead teacher of secondary English is interspersed with a variety of other relevant experience. In addition to teaching literature, composition and grammar, I have also tutored professionally for Kaplan as part of the federally mandated No Child Left Behind program and for other private tutoring services in Maine and New York. I have taken more than twelve professional development workshops and classes in English and education since 2001. I have also taught history, civics, poetry and creative writing, professional communication and drama. The great joy for me in teaching literature and composition is sharing strategies for powerful communication to students who are blocked. Although I am inspired and passionate about English, I enjoy demystifying it and revealing how skills in other areas not only apply

I love to work with children of any age. I have been volunteering for over 15 years helping wherever and whenever I can to help make the lives of children more enriched. I have two boys of my own (age 10 and 14) and have been successful in helping them achieve the best they can. I have been teaching kids as a substitute for many years and went back to school in my middle 30's to become a teacher. Unfortunately the availability of teaching positions in my area has prevented me from full time employment but I've kept myself busy subbing and working with young adults and those with disabilities further their educational needs. I graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2007 from SUNY Brockport with an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education, English and Special Education. I have worked as a substitute teacher in all grade levels and in all subject areas. I have been accepted into a high degree
