I am a High School Student at Legend High School I am a level 8 gymnast so weekends are the only time I have open. I love working with younger kids. I have worked with younger kids in Science fields before and their grades have gone up on an average of 4%. I also make sure the child is comprehending what they are learning instead of going through the motions and just finding patterns within the problems.
I like to be serious and get things done but I also like to have fun. I like to take things they are interested in and incorporate that into their learning.

Let the young teach the young

Even though I am young, I do know how to convey teaching skills with the "up-to-date" mind set of today's generation. The main experience I have is helping fellow school mates and family with the problems they are having with school work. I did finish high school with a diploma. I have been to many schools and have had many teachers. I have been able to learn many techniques of solving a single problem.
I am fun and relaxed, but know how to get down to the point. I make my teaching easy to understand.

As the Title I Math Specialist at Peyton Elementary for three years, I had the opportunity to work with struggling learners as well as high achieving students in a small classroom setting. This on-the-job experience combined with numerous professional development credits earned in various areas such as differentiated instruction, math/literature connections, and mathematics pedagogy as well as two years of service on Peyton Elementary's "Child Study" team gave me the necessary background to be able to identify individual student needs and tailor lessons to address those needs. Over the past two years, I have been able to apply the above skills in a one-on-one setting through private tutoring of elementary age students in both math and reading.
I have a caring and mutually respectful relationship with students. I am very creative in my lesson planning, often use hands-on activities, ... read more

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

Teaching is a career I have always been drawn to. I enjoy educating children and showing them various ways to create a solution. As a kindergarten, it is such an amazing feeling to teach a child to read for the first time. My main goal is to provide children with the best materials and strategies to obtain mastery in all content areas. I strongly believe in teaching with direct instruction; however, I am able and more than willing to differentiate my delivery of instruction and materials based upon each child's individual needs. I would define myself as detail-oriented, patient, kind, flexible, and warm-hearted. My mission is to inspire a love of education in every child despite any circumstances, which I will achieve by dedicating myself to excellence and mastery and keeping the standard of excellence set high.

I taught Environmental Science to disadvantaged kids in McKenzie, TN while on summer break from college and then I taught young children about animals and their lifesytles at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I am currently working on a master's degree in secondary science. I suffered from a learning disability when I was a high school student, so I understanding students when they just aren't able to quite understand and know that it's okay to seek help.
I feel that each student has their own individual style of learning and I will take that into consideration when tutoring your son/daughter. I know that not everyone learns the same way and that there is not a concrete form of teaching and that to be able to reach an individual student, the teacher must accomodate their teaching style to reach the student.

I have graduated from Iowa State University with a major in Finance and minor in Statistics. I have a strong background in math and have taken up to Calculus II. I have experience tutoring Calculus and Statistics at the college level for five semesters. Working with students is something I really enjoy. I have experience working with a non-profit organization at the college level and another one at the elementary school level. I also have mentored children and worked with them at my churches.
Every person is different and requires a unique style for learning. I have used many different styles in my experiences, and I tend to use the one that works the best for that individual. Some are visual learners while others need to learn by trial and error. I am easy going, flexible, and patient. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are granted the necessary experiences an ... read more

I love working with students of all ages, backgrounds and learning abilities. I believe that all students deserve a fair and equal chance to learn in school and no child should be left behind. I also feel that all students can reach their full potential in learning if given the chance. I believe that most students learn best through auditory and hands-on learning techniques. I love to work with students and love to see them learn. I want to make a difference in the lives of all my students.
I just graduated with my Master's degree from the University of Phoenix. I completed 6 months of students in teaching to fulfill my degree requirements.

I LOVE TEACHING SPANISH AND I LOVE SEEING MY STUDENTS PROGRESS. I BELIEVE THAT LEARNING VARIES WITH EACH CHILD AND THE ONUS IS ON THE TEACHER TO TAP INTO A CHILD'S POTENTIAL AND DEVELOP IT WITH EFFECTIVE TEACHING METHODS. I GENERALLY USE THE CREATIVE APPROACH WITH MY STUDENTS - LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE SHOULD BE FUN AND EXCITING. I AM CONVINCED THAT PATIENCE, LOVE, DEDICATION, PASSION AND GOOD ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS, ARE PRICELESS IN BEING A GOOD EDUCATOR.
I HAVE A 4.0 GRADE POINT AVERAGE WHICH REQUIRED HARD WORK AND DEDICATION. I BELIEVE THAT THESE QUALITIES ARE ESSENTIAL IN REAPING SUCCESS ESPECIALLY IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION. I HAVE TAUGHT SPANISH 2 YEARS IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL AND 4 YEARS IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL, WHICH WERE BOTH CHALLENGING AND REWARDING. I TAUGHT STUDENTS AGES 11-18 YEARS AND HAD TO ADAPT MY ACADEMIC AND BEHAVIORAL APPROACH TO ACCOMMODATE THE LEARNING NEEDS AND CAPA ... read more

As the daughter of an English teacher, I grew up accustomed to correct grammar and word usage, and to correction of my errors! I didn't always appreciate learning the correct use of English, but have since learned how valuable it is. Without the ability to speak and write correctly, individuals are limited in their ability to express their ideas and present themselves. I have taught public presentation and writing for years. For the past three years, I have been teaching at an open-enrollment college where I spent hours in the Student Success Center, tutoring several students who needed additional assistance to pass their English classes and write effective papers in other classes. In addition to remedial reading, public speaking, and basic college English, I taught a course in college success, equipping students with study skills and time management tools to help them succeed in sc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching philosophy is teach every child every day. This means all children can learn. It may be through all different styles of teaching and learning, but all children can learn. I believe in using a "hands on" approach with manipulatives. Children will learn by doing and experimenting with the objects they have. Compassion, patience, and dedication allow me assist children in their learning and believe they can learn every day in any way.
As an adult I have been pursuing my dream of being an educator. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and am working on my Master's Degree in Deaf/Hard of Hearing Education. Throughout my seven years of teaching I have had leadership training, math, writing, and reading training. I have tutored children in Reading, Writing, and Math. I have done addition tutoring in math prior to the Colorado Student Assessment Program ( ... read more
