Never tell a child when you can ask him.

I have 6 years of substitute teaching experience in the Washoe County School District in Nevada, as well as at a charter school. Substitute teaching has allowed me to work with children from preschool to grade 12, in all subjects. I have worked twice as a preschool teacher, once at the E.L. Cord Child Care Center at TMCC in Reno, and again at His Kids Preschool, using A Beka Book curriculum to teach 2-4 year olds. Additionally, through the College of Education in the University of Nevada, Reno, I have completed several practica. These experiences include whole- and small-group lessons, one-on-one tutoring, Science, Math, Language Arts, and Social Studies. Along with these teaching experiences, I have four children, two of whom were schooled online at home for three years and in which I participated as a learning coach. My children are in Honors classes, Gifted and Talented programs, ... read more

I have a masters degree in Enviornmental Biology and a BA in pre-med sciences. I also have an AA degree in Dietetics. My other hat is a long career in writing, editing, and publishing. So, I am a grammarian and have taught English composition. I have been a substitute teacher for more than eight years in elementary, middle, and high school. During this time, I also have done private tutoring through the University of Nevada, usually one-on-one. However, with the after school programs, I have been group tutoring. I also worked as a teacher of English as a Second Language for adults in the evening program of our local community college for three years. Subjects tutored include math, biology, anatomy, and English.
My style of tutoring is creative flexibility. I assess the student's learning style and try to adapt to that, using different senses (kinetic, aural, oral) to ... read more

My comments on tutoring Grammar : Grammar is the means to clearly communicate our ideas. It is the basis of our writing and speaking. I have ten years exerience tutoring non-English speaking students to succeed both in school and business. If grammar is a weak area for you I can help make your stronger!

Ten years experience in teaching English in Prague, Czech Republic. B.S. degree in History and Political Science 1984 Excelsior College TEFL Certificate 2003 Via Lingua Continuning education courses 2006/07 Oxford University In House teacher training 2004-2007 Languages At Work, SRO Teacher Trainer (English) Ministry of Education, Czech Republic
I believe learning should be two way. Students should learn from a teacher and the teacher should be willing to learn from the students. My lessons are personalized to the student needs. My lessons are interactive.

I am seeking to make a difference.

Hello- Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mandy M. I am a graduate of Morrison University with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and a year towards my Master's in Business Administration. At this point, one might wonder why I would be interested in tutoring when my education is in the accounting world. Well, the simple answer is that I possess many facets to my education and wish to help the next generation obtain the knowledge that I was privileged to be given. I was homeschooled for my high school years with an exceptional accredited course. The quality of my high school education prepared me well for college. While the English and Math programs were detailed and grueling, I have retained the information and used it to grow. I have no experience as yet in tutoring. However, children respond well to me and I would like to help.

My teaching style is one centered around positive feelings. There is a word i learned in college by the name of rapport. In order to become successful in the classroom a positive working relationship must be established. No matter what you do in life a successful partnership must be centered around a comfortable work environment. To each is to his or her own so time is the most viable option with education and learning to me. People say Rome was not built in a day but they had to start building on the first day in order to build what they wanted. My style is personal and comftorable so one/two can strive for what is truly desired and that would be the ability to learn. Ond day at a time.
Experience gained is not what truly counts it's ones desire to learn through experience that's seperates oneself. Through five years in college and five years in a special education classroom i hav ... read more

I recently graduated from the University of Nevada Reno with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. Throughout my college career, I had many opportunities to teach elementary students, both in the classroom and in one-on-one situations. From 2003 to 2006 I worked in Texas as an after school tutor helping children with test preparation. At the University of Nevada Reno I taught lessons on science and mathematics to second-grade students twice every week. I also tutored a sixth-grade student twice a week in literacy, including reading, writing, and spelling skills. I completed a sixteen-week internship in a fifth-grade classroom with the support of a lead teacher, including four weeks of full-control.
I love working with children and I have a passion for teaching students. I believe that every child has the capacity to learn if they are given the correct tools and t ... read more

As an honors graduate, from SNC, I've always kept an open-mind, and creative perspective on ideas/methods of teaching and learning. I've earned my AA, BA, and Nv.Elementary Licensure for grades K-8 as of 2004. During the last decade I have been in the classroom as a student, and a teacher/tutor and my philosophy is to teach through the avenue/intelligence my students comprehend best,therefore their understanding of concepts and ideas become concrete so they can retain this information/knowlege and utilize it for further learning opportunities and experiences.
Teaching and working with children is what I've always wanted to do-since I was 7 years old-I knew in my heart and soul-I would be a teacher! All children/students are intelligent and smart, in their own unique ways. I am kind, patient, courteous, ambitious, creative, and open-minded with a great imagination for creative teac ... read more

I love helping others learn and grow and achieve! I especially enjoy seeing the glow on a child's face as they realize they "get it" - they have conquered and overcome some hurdle or difficulty. The same is basically true with adults. I really enjoy helping them get the report or information they need from an application. It is so liberating for them to know they can find what they need (or want) on their own.
I have been preparing and conducting adult coursework for a variety of computer - based applications and software for 15 or more years. The courses were done in large lecture environments (30 or more at a time) and also small or individuals sessions, and remote (phone and web-ex) deliveries. I am experienced in assessing group attitude and individual needs and am told that I am very adept at putting my "students" at ease, both through delivery style and in customizing ... read more

Most of my life has been focused on obtaining my education and improving my educational goals. I have a deep desire to assist others in reaching their full potential. I know that everyone learns in different ways, so my teaching style varies on the needs of each student. Overall, I am a calm and relaxed person that works towards keeping students on task and tries to make learning a fun process.
I began tutoring my freshman year of college. I participated in a Sparks High School program designed to assist and motivate at risk students to achieve their educational goals. Tutoring continued through my own educational career, as I have spent countless hours assisting fellow peers and younger students with their school work. Now as a young professional, I would like to continue to assist today’s youth. My Law degree, along with my Bachelor of Science and Associate of Arts degrees ... read more

My teaching style is very creative. Yes, I believe in teaching the basics, but make learning fun. I like to do fun games or art projects or use music to inspire and teach the children. That way they will have fun and learn at the same time.
My experience is not as a liscensed teacher. I have been more of an assistant or tutor. I have worked with k-6th grade students-some of which are/were physically and /or mentally challenged.

A strength on which I have always prided myself is my ability to relate complex concepts with useful analogies and from different angles. I never underestimate a child's ability to learn something, so long as it's in a way in which they understand it. Curriculum development is also important. By that, I mean the creation of illustrations, tables, lists, acronyms, heuristics, and flash cards to aid a student in their thirst to learn. I am patient and fun, and working with children is something that has always animated and invigorated me. By getting a child to enjoy what he or she is learning, a tutor can open the floodgates to his or her potential and happiness.
My experience in tutoring computers for the last 6 years and facilitating study sessions in college for the last 4 years has refined my skills in directing absorption of knowledge in a direction that is organized and on ... read more

I am very passionate about English, partly because I struggled with it myself. I never received an A in a high school English class until my senior year; yet, I received a BA in the subject only four short years after I received a D- in my AP English class during the second semester of my junior year in high school. I can relate to these students and their struggles because I was once in their shoes. I know what it takes to overcome the adversity facing these students and I am looking forward to using that knowledge to help them succeed.
I have always been driven as a student. I earned my bachelor's degree in only 3 and a half years, and I will begin a terminal degree program this fall when I begin an MFA program at Eastern Washington University. Although I have never been a formal tutor, I feel that I can pick it up rather quickly, as I have been in a teaching role during my time ... read more

I have a Business Speech Communications degree with a minor in English. After achieving that degree, I went on to earn a secondary teaching credential in English. Later, I found an opportunity at UNR to become a tutor at the writing center. There I direct students to better their papers (in all disciplines) by facilitating. We work on structure, content, grammar, and form. Most students leave with a better sense of direction, usually a better grade, and most certainly a better sense of self and success.
My teaching style comes more from a facilitators approach, and not a micro-management view. I have learned for the most part that students have the answers to questions and have original ideas, given the appropriate direction and positive support.
