I have taught drawing at a foundations level and am a big believer that practice makes perfect. The classes that I taught were structured on a six week increment; line, mass, gradient and general basics. I can teach pencil, charcoal, pastels and ink. Goal oriented and adaptive to most personalities, and I will assert that it is rare to find a great artist that is passionate about teaching. I am both. Teaching is not something I take lightly, and it's this resolve which will be seen in the results of your work. I believe it is a gift to be able to communicate effectively with a student, and I take my job seriously. Therefore I will take notes about your progress. I believe that everyone has the ability to create! I will differ from most mentors- It will be your creative voice that should be heard, and my students will make art that is in there own. I teach based on your skills, not your

I enjoy teaching and working with all students from a variety of social economic backgrounds. All children are capable of learning, but in different ways and at their own pace. I try to instill a love of learning in my students along with building their self esteem and confidence. I love being a role model for them. I am very patient, kind, understanding, flexible, and easy going. Students should come first. Educators can and should make a positive difference in their students' lives. I use a variety of teaching styles, depending on my students' needs, the curriculum, and the objectives being taught. I also like to have an environment that is conducive to learning. I am an experienced elementary classroom teacher. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Elementary Education with a minor in history, and a MEd in Educational Administration and Supervision.

Children and youth are our greatest asset. I believe that all children can be reached. The key is to connect with them early and establish mutual respect. I am patient but I also know how to ensure that the pace is maintained for the good of everyone. I have had many interesting experiences in my life which allow me to relate to people from different backgrounds As a graduate of a major urban university and a person who has been well trained through rigorous Air Force courses, I have the formal education to have an impact on students. I have served as a state legislator, serve at Headquarters of the Georgia Air National Guard, write professionally,served as chairman of the local library board and have worked as a teacher for the last three years. I have also taught in the military. I enjoy working with young people

As I suffered through my younger years with Attention Deficit Disorder, I feel that it is extremely important to appeal to almost all of the senses when teaching. As for myself, I am definitely a visual learner, so I feel that visual aids are important. I am a big fan of hand outs in full color. You will often find me drawing a picture on the board. I feel it is important to hear it and see it, and if you can, touch it. Another important teaching style I implement, is watching my students and making sure they know how to do it. Going around and walking each student through the process and asking them to do what I did really confirms that the student understands what I have taught them. As a former computer instructor, I can't tell you how much I miss teaching. Teaching was the one career in my life where I felt completely fulfilled. I truly love sharing my knowledge and being abl

The method of teaching I prefer is maieutic, i.e., one which draws knowledge from the student, rather than attempts to place it in him/her from without. To me, the process of asking questions and allowing the student's curiosity and intelligence to reach conclusions is far more effective than one-sided lecturing. I am endlessly creative, coming up with myriad examples to illustrate concepts. In 2006 I taught graphic design topics at Westwood College. In 2007 I taught the same subject at The Creative Circus (roughly equivalent to an MBA program for designers, writers, photographers, and art directors). In 2008 I taught in the design department for Georgia State University. This summer I traveled to a remote region in India to teach English. I have taught GRE prep for the past 3 years, covering the verbal, quantitative (math), and analytical writing (essay) areas. As a test prep teac

I have had the unique opportunity throughout college to tutor in various areas. I was very active within a vocal performance group and had the opportunity to assist in public speaking venues frequently. I got the opportunity to assist in a fourth grade classroom, emphasizing the importance of public speaking. I just returned from a semester teaching (English) in Seoul, South Korea. I have a passion for words, for communication and above all, for understanding. I am energetic and relevant. I feel personal wins when my students grasp an idea or concept I am trying to get them to understand. I choose to work creatively and effectively. I embrace challenges and love investing my life into the education of others.

I believe that all children require a different method of teaching. My goal is to find the key to help them become motivated in learning. Sometimes children predetermine that they are not good at an individual subject. If you can find a way to make this subject interesting to them you have solved half the problem. I try to discover why the child is having problems in a certain area and solve this first. All children can learn and grow in their education with the right motivation. It is so rewarding to see the children obtain their goals. I am a highly dedicated individual with an Architectural and Engineering Background. I have an Associate of Science in Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering. I have high levels of training in Math and Science.

I believe that every child has different and unique learning abilities. I feel that the use of examples make it easier for a child to learn and retain information. I strive to make every child feel as if they have the ability to accomplish anything they put their mind to. While in high school I tutored elementary students in all subjects. Included were language arts, math, and sciences. I also have experience with private tutoring in Asia with teaching students English.

During my undergraduate studies, I was selected the Departmental Tutor for French language by the Converse College Foreign Language Department. I also taught an entry-level French "drill" class for four years throughout my undergraduate experience. For three years after my graduation from college, I worked with at-risk youth as a wilderness instructor, and also a behavior modification specialist. During my work with at-risk youth, I also tutored such subjects as science, English, algebra, and foreign language. Education is of utmost importance to me, and I believe that all children can learn, but some lack the study skills necessary to succeed in school. While in pursuit of my psychology major at Converse College, I attended various classes and seminars on learning styles. I feel that each child has its own potential, and if we as educators can empower students to feel as though they

To go along with my writing passion, I also have a passion for working with children. I understand that each child is different; different skill sets, different learning methods and different needs. I like to get a deeper understanding of each child - their likes, interests, and goals - and use those things to creatively teach new concepts and ideas, or reaffirm old ones. I understand that not every child enjoys certain subjects, such as writing, but I try to make the process as enjoyable as possible. It brings me great joy when I see a child light up because they finally understand something. It is my goal to achieve that in each situation. After graduating from high school with high honors, I struggled to make the transition from that rigid environment, to one of endless possibilities. I weighed the pros and cons of a graphic design or teaching major, taking classes in both the first s

I began tutoring as an undergrad at the University of California, while completing my BA in Economics. I gained invaluable experience tutoring the Advanced English-Core class for incoming freshman on an individual basis. My studies and work experience in Finance, Engineering, and Design have allowed me to add expertise in these subjects to my existing writing ability. I have continued to tutor, helping students and fellow peers in these subjects as I find it rewarding and fun. I believe that anyone can turn a difficult subject into a fun and easy subject with a little help and motivation. Learning isn't always linear, sometimes it takes a little understanding and a helping hand to push through the educational roadblocks that we encounter. I bring a caring and understanding voice to those who can't always figure it out on their own. I'm a strong believer in the word "can". You can

Even before graduating from high school I began tutoring kids younger than I. I love children & I value education, therefore I figured if I have a little knowledge or if I can help someone understand something better, I might as well try. During & after graduation from college I was a Teacher's assistant as well as a tutor. I have my bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, which required the reading of numerous books, writing many papers, & passing many math/statistics classes. I have been teaching and tutoring for 5 years. I love children & teaching. Where there is a will there is a way for all children to learn. My motto is "The more you learn the more you know, the more you know the further you go," and I firmly believe in that. I believe that kids can have fun learning if you make the material interesting and somewhat tangible. When children have to sit without any interaction

My style of teaching is hands-on, and helping children to be self directed. I teach by example and work hard to listen to the students to hear what they need help and instruction on. I am a firm beliver in have a long range goal and different ways to reach that goal. I have bee a paraprofessional in the cherokee county school system where I was in charge of art projects for the class and grade level. I am also a professional picture framer and use my design skills to create framed art. For years I have helped children to "color outside the lines." I think that is a great life skill!
