As a young lawyer, I am proficient in all subject matters and excel in grammatical skills and language arts. I graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington DC. I have taken advanced courses in legal writing and learned the import of concise, clear writing. I earned my undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University where I graduated with honors, with distinction, and magna cum laude. To obtain these honors, I completed a rigorous curriculum including courses in calculus, biology, chemistry, and French. In the last ten years, I have tutored elementary, high school, and college-aged students. I ask students demonstrate the skills they already possess, working step-by-step through subject matters with the student taking the lead. I also work to build studying skills by assisting students in looking up information they do not know and methods they are strug

I have taught and tutored hundreds of children while substitute teaching. I have found that my style is one which tries to involve the student in the learning process as much as possible. I love using volunteers to read aloud and participate in the learning process. I feel that treating each child with respect and as individuals increases their own abilities and improves their self-confidence as well. I graduated with an AA Degree in Liberal Studies from Allan Hancock Community College. I then transferred to San Francisco State University where I earned my BA Degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Sociology. Upon graduation, I began working as a Substitute Teacher for grades K-8 in Santa Maria, CA. During this time, I was responsible for teaching many subjects including English, math, music, history and physical education. I also conducted many small group tutoring sessions.

Conversational. From what I learned in Taiwan little kids are not for me. This is the truth. Kids at about 14 or 15 and older are much preferred. I don't think I am animated enough for younger children...well, not a GROUP of younger children anyway. When it comes to one on one though, it is much different I am sure. I like to give ideas on how to sound out words, remember grammar/math tricks and things like that. I double majored in Biology and English with a Bachelor of Science degree from a very well known, highly esteemed University in Wisconsin. I went to Taiwan for two months from March-May 2010 and helped teach in a "Bushiban" or cram school to kids aged 6-15. I am currently looking for a full-time job relating to my degree.

Being a high school English teacher is a career path in which I have always wanted to pursue. I graduated from Cal State Northridge with a degree in English. Upon completion of my degree I took and passed the CBEST test which enables me to be a substitute teacher. I do have previous experience in tutoring students who perform below their grade level. The primary focus of the tutoring that I have done was primarily in Language arts, grammar and reading comprehension. Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I am a firm believer that with patience and hard work, mastering a subject is not impossible. To be a good teacher one must be a good learner. I believe that each student learns in their own unique way and it is my responsibility to figure out the best techniques to ensure success.

I just returned to the US from Shanghai where I worked as a teacher of Science, Social Studies, English and Literature. I have extensive experience as a teacher and tutor. I am very good with students and have over 5 years experience teaching and tutoring. I am excellent teaching reading, writing, and essay writing. I generally tutored 2 to 4 hours after school, worked with a special student diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, taught a writing workshop for gifted students and was editor for the monthly school newsletter. In over five years of teaching and tutoring I have found that many students need to achieve some type of success with school. Many students have gotten behind or had bad experiences in school and if a teacher can give them some form of success in school they often turn a corner and begin to improve in their studies. With continued positive reinforcement and encour

I would describe my teaching style as flexible. I believe that students learn differently and it's up to the teacher to adjust accordingly. My greatest asset as a teacher is my patience. If a student doesn't get it it's no problem. We just do it again and perhaps in a different manner. I do believe that all students are capable of learning and it's up to the teacher to lead the students in the right direction. Learning should be fun and and I believe maintaining a positive environment, giving encouragement and never giving up on the student. I am a teacher of 20 years. My experience includes elementary, middle, and high school. I also taught for one year overseas. I have 3 years experience working as a tutor. I possess a Bachelor of Arts in History and a Bachelor of Science in Social Studies Education. During the past 5 years I have worked at a self-paced charter school working with the

Teaching Style I believe that every individual, regardless of age, has the potential to learn, and that as an educator, I play a key role in facilitating the learning experience in order that the learner achieves the targeted objective(s). I believe further that a learner learns best when the learning experience is a comfortable one. My teaching style; therefore, involves creating a warm rapport with the learner right from the start, and helping him/her realize that he/she can achieve whatever it is with my help. Once a positive teaching-learning relationship has been established, and the learner has gained a sense of confidence to proceed, it would simply be a matter of using the appropriate teaching strategies to help him/her achieve the targeted objective(s). Summary of Experience My approach to teaching has been shaped by the many years that I spent as tenured facult

I worked in educational assessment for eight years, developing custom tests (in the reading/language arts and social studies content areas) for state departments of education. My focus was on creating tests (multiple-choice and essay-based) in alignment with state standards. In light of my extensive assessment experience, I understand how tests are written and organized, and I understand how to help students prepare for tests, as well as how to complete other assignments. Earlier, I worked as a substitute teacher at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels, and also taught Algebra I for three summers at a high school. I understand what teachers are likely to expect of students at various grade levels and in various subjects. I enjoy reviewing an assignment, lesson, chapter, or other student material, and determining what is needed from the student. I also believe in makin
