During my senior year in high school, I tutored and mentored at a program named AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination). This program is designed to prepare students for college. My job was to help students with any subject they were having trouble with. Math was the most common subject that students needed help with the most. In high school I took geometry, algebra, and math analysis. Statistics is my highest level of college math. I believe that with my experience and knowledge in math I can be a successful math tutor. I sit with students and ask them what they are having trouble with. I will then explain to them and make it as clear as possible so they can understand better the subject they are having trouble with. Once done with my explanation, I will have them work out problems to show me they really understand the subject. It is very important to be patient with every stude

I believe in Howard Garner's theory of teaching to the student style of learning. They are as follows: Visual, Auditory, Musical, Kinesthetic, Interpersonal and Intrapersonal. As I work with the student and get to understand their abilities and limitations I develop a style that will work the best for that particular student. I have worked with students of all grade levels from volunteering at the Cocopah Head Start preschool to working with high school students as a substitute teacher. I have an English as a Second Language endorsement and have worked with adults in improving the English level. I excell in creative writing and am currently assisting friends in obtaining their GED.

As a daughter of an elementary education teacher, I have been driven by a passion to teach children in areas where they show need. I am in my second year in Northern Arizona University with junior credits. My major is in Sociology, but I believe that helps me in pin-pointing the most important aspects of helping children individually in different social settings. I have done tutoring before, but never with a school district. I believe that every child has a unique way of learning and I am capable and flexible in showing them the different ways in which they can learn. I am an extremely patient person and will not stop until my student has learned every subject problem area. I am dedicate to the student one hundred percent. My teaching style varies according to the different areas of need in each child. No one child is the same, and they all learn in different manners. I approach the st

I believe that each child is capable of learning. I want my students to know that I will not give up on them, and that I believe they are all capable of learning and making progress. I believe that students succeed when they are actively involved in their own learning. For this reason, I will use plenty of hands-on activities and manipulatives that will reinforce concepts to students. I have always loved learning new things, and would love to share and instill my joy of learning to each child I teach. I currently have a Bachelor's in Elementary Education and hold an Arizona teaching certificate. I have spent many years volunteering in both my parent's classrooms. I have also spent the last school year substituting in elementary schools in Tennessee where I am living now. I have thoroughly enjoyed substituting in different grades and subjects. Each day is something new and exciting! I hav

I love teaching because it allows me to connect with youth. I find them very humorous. Some work hard, while others not so much, but either way, a teacher can learn so much from their student. Working in educatuion is a challenge I enjoy, especially when I see how well a student progresses. I hope to be able to continue to make a differnce in a young person's life and be a positive influence on them. In May of 2004 I graduated from a small liberal arts college in Tacoma, Washington. I majored in English with an emphasis in writing. The writing curriculum I followed consisted of writing personal essays, articles, short fiction and even writing for children. Additionally, I wrote several research reports. Research for my Masters Degree required a lengthy detailed dissertation which turned out to consist of four chapters and about forty pages. I have had to practice my grammar,

As a new teacher in Arizona I just finished my first year in teaching in schools around the Yuma area. I was privileged enough to teach many different grades, cultures, and socioeconomic statuses as well as numerous learning levels. I have developed many skills and taken a particular interest in tutoring English and Reading as well as Math and Social Studies. I have gathered much knowledge about all subject areas at the elementary and high school levels. My knowledge, passion, and dedication has helped many students overcome trouble areas and encouraged them to progress farther than they felt they were able to before. My teaching style is vary diverse when it comes to my students. I do not believe in one teaching style because there will never be just one learning style present with any child. Every child learns a different way in different subjects and I believe in discovering the

I recently moved to Arizona and received my substitute teaching certificate. I am a new college Graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Ag Leadership and Development. My degree helped me understand how individuals learn and process information. It also helped me understand and respect people of different cultures, religions and races. I learned many different teaching mechanisms and strategies to educate individuals. While in high school I was very involved in 4-H and other extracurricular activities. I worked closely with children on leadership and educational projects. I feel that I am more than qualified for this position. I greatly enjoy working with children. I feel that every child absorbs information differently and a teacher should be able to identify and relate to that child. I also feel that a good teacher makes learning fun and exciting.

I strive for diversity of skill set. I obtained my degree in Law and Justice at which time I made the switch from fourteen years enlisted Air Force and joined the ranks of Air Force officer. I have spanned career endeavors to include paralegal, contracting, air operations, aircraft command and control and my new desire to teach. I have been functioning as a career substitute teacher for four years now, in two states while operating a small home-based consulting business. My teaching style is based on the belief that I learn just as much from the students as they learn from me. I operate in a role of discover at their wonderment and eagerness. I am firm and structured but do this in a way that warrants respect and self awareness on the part of the student. I am proud to say that I am a favorite among students, and a first choice among principals that often call on me for long term as
