Testing Strategies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ronan, MT

With my years of being around and in an educational environment, I have picked up patterns of repetition and summary to reinforce ideas being conveyed. I, myself, learn best by doing. Through studying adult learning styles, I discovered that studies show utilizing all facets of learning - writing, audio, visual, and hands on - leads to the highest levels of retention. I teach by 1) talking by the student to determine his or her best learning style and 2) utilizing the various methods listed above so that the student can retain the maximum amount of information through his or her best learning style. If someone would pay me to be a student, I could continue going to school for my whole life. I love to learn and come from a family of teachers.

Learning is a process more than an experience. The greatest satisfaction I had as a tutor was when my tutees gained a love for their subject, their minds became engaged, and they began asking questions of their own and finding answers. These moments were when I knew that I was successful. The most impactful teachers I had were those that taught me to love learning and incorporate knowledge into my own life. Helping others not only understand a principle but be changed by the process is my passion in teaching. I have always possessed a love for and interest in the phenomena of our natural world. This has driven me to obtain a B.S. degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I have loved sharing this knowledge with others and building fascination in others for the world around us.

As a life-long student, I aspire to a life of teaching. While an undergraduate at St. Olaf College, I developed strong communication and interpersonal skills as a writing center tutor and ESL mentor. After graduating magna cum laude in 2005, I became a volunteer educator in Chicago and taught elementary and middle school math, reading, art and social studies. Today, as a graduate student and composition instructor at the University of Montana, I relish the opportunity to pursue literature and develop my classroom teaching expertise. Working with undergraduates straight out of high-school and non-traditional students with families or second careers, I encourage students to distinguish their writing voices and explore rhetorical choices by inventing and revising writing projects. I emphasize teaching literature as dialogue because I strongly believe that an individual’s self perception and

After earning a bachelor degree in Mathematics/Statistics I entered graduate school with the intention of going into the Computer Science field. Teaching undergraduates, as a teaching assistant, I uncovered my desire to help and teach. In an effort to find a better path I'm now enrolled as a first year professional student in a Pharmacy program. I have an extensive educational background in math and sciences to draw upon. As a computer science teaching assistant I was often presenting students with their first experience in a new field, as a result, I have adapted a teaching style which draws upon my background in the sciences to offer real life examples and helpful tidbits to further a students understanding. I am patient and equipped to adapt to student's differing needs. I enjoy working with students of all ages and truly wish to help students learn and enjoy their educations.

I am a passionate believer in individualized education. Good education matches a child’s level, pace of learning, and interests. I am very student-centered in my teaching. I use a variety of means to engage students and to allow self-direction so that students can “work” from their interests. I try to find the place where the student’s interests and level meet the demands of the subject matter. That is the place from which meaningful learning and individual growth can happen. I also have a strong commitment to quality. For example, I believe that it is very important for older students to apply themselves to reading closely, thinking analytically, and writing well. I try to show them that these difficult tasks are essential to empowering themselves as learners and persons. I have been involved in the field of education since 1982, when I directed and co-designed the residential componen
