I love working with young people and sharing my knowledge and love of learning with them. I enjoy learning from them and hearing about their ideas, interests, and abilities. I find it easy to connect with students and quickly build a rapport with them. I am extremely patient, and it is very rare that I feel any sense of frustration when working with kids. I am able to explain difficult concepts in simple terms and in various ways. I feel that feedback to students should be positive & constructive. I do not use sarcasm, intimidation, or ridicule. I strive to prevent children from feeling embarrassment for any difficulties they are having. I enjoy helping students to experience success, make new discoveries, and gain new skills!
I am a life-long learner with degrees in Zoology & Philosophy, and I was the Valedictorian of my high school. I have 17 years of experience in the IT ... read more

From the time I was in 4th grade, I have always had a strong passion to teach our young people and assist in developing the next generation that will run this country. Being deeply inspired by multiple teachers throughout my schooling, I too have wanted to make the same type of impact on children. Good teachers are the ones who wake up everyday excited to expand young minds and challenge them to strive for their potential. Seeing that "light bulb" go off when a child learns something that they have struggled with is one of the greatest joys in life. Every child deserves a chance to learn in a safe and encouraging environment; I believe in providing this through individual interactions with each one.
I have always wanted to teach. While in high school, I spent half of my school day being a teacher's assistance at an elementary school. I started my college experience at Adams State C ... read more

My goal as a teacher is to "fit" the material that needs to be learned into each student's character and mindset. Everyone excels at something -- it is my job to find out what that is and how to make that work so that new material can be incorporated. I work to help students achieve their potential and strive to help them feel confident that they can do well.
I have assembled a wide variety of experiences during my years of work and education. I have worked as a journalist, advertising copy writer and designer; and teacher of adult learners in the areas of fine art, art history, and garden design. For 16 years, I owned a operated a successful garden design business and, more recently, taught in a local elementary school for six years as a fifth grade teacher, specializing in reading and, especially, writing. I occasionally write for garden publications and continue to create a ... read more

I am a warm and friendly teacher. Students are encouraged in whatever manner works best for them individually. For many, this takes the form of a friendly, cajoling encouragement. Others need reassurance of their capabilities. Regardless of the student, I find that success feeds their success. I try to find out what is of interest to my students, and to present the material as it relates to that interest. This keeps them motivated to listen and to learn. As they learn, I make sure they realize that they have experienced success. Encouragement and reinforcement of achievements are central to my interactions with every one of my students. I truly believe that, with the right approach and reinforcement of what they've learned, all students are capable of achieving their goals.

As a college graduate I believe strongly that the four years I spent perfecting, or at least expanding my literacy, comprehension, communication, and written skills, makes me a qualified canidate to tutor others, and help them improve on those same related skills. I have also had a lot of expereince with kids, working at daycares and afterschool programs where some teaching is required. With the level of education I have in the area of English, plus time spent in teaching environment, would also make me a strong canidate.
My teaching style is based on patience, creativity, and an understanding that everyone has different learning style. It is very important to me that I offer different approaches or different examples or ways to learn. Some kids learn visually, hands on, orally ext. And it is crucial that I as an educator would have different ways for them to learn. I am super pati ... read more

Teaching is a dream job since you get to directly see the results of your work. You can watch your students improve in front of your eyes and this is a result of your motivational skills. The students do the work but you are the one who reaches their inner core to pull out their ability to achieve. For each student you must find what motivates them and press those buttons. My role is to get students to believe in themselves and then to guide them through the process of education. Positive reinforcement is the key to their success. Frequently they were never given that opportunity. I make them believe in themselves and make learning fun at the same time.
As an ESL ( English as a second language) teacher, I taught students at all levels, from elementary to advanced. I prepared students for exams such as the Cambridge First Certificate, TOEFL and TOEIC. I taught Business Management an ... read more
