A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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 have a caring and mutually respectful relationship with students. I am very creative in my lesson planning, often use hands-on activities, draw from various teaching resources, and differentiate for all levels of learners. I like to bolster the confidence of struggling learners with lots of positive reinforcement and encouragement. I like to illicit higher level thinking from all students.
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 ... 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 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 College in the Education department. During my initial years in college, I completed multiple teaching courses including: Intro to Education, Teaching Exceptional Students in a Regular Classroom, and Child Development. I changed degrees to broaden my opportunities but never lost my desire to teach. With my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics, I learned to break down complex concepts into understandable pieces. I tutored many classmates throughout every level of my education and helped them with learning and applying difficult constructs from math and computers to study skills.
From the time I was in 4th grade, I have always had a strong passion to teach our young people an ... 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I think good class materials, sufficient examples and explanations are important for effective learning. I believe it is the responsibility of the teacher to tutor students in an interesting and engaging manner. The teaching should show the elegance and beauty of the subject as well as its applicability to solve concrete and real world problems. Teaching is not just instructing or imparting information to students, but it is meant to empower students to take responsibility for their learning. While students must ultimately take responsibility for their own learning, a teacher can often inspire them to learn. As a teacher, I prefer to use my enthusiasm to help students get involved in the subject. Even when discussing hard scientific terms, I explain them with day to day things and analogies making it easy for the students to absorb. I am devoted to getting to know my students, like know ... read more

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 am currently a substitute teacher where I have the joy of working with students of various learning abilities and ages. I have also spent time working as a tutor for a daughter of a friend.

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.

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 an ... read more
