College Student - Eager to Gain Experience!

I am a hands on teacher, probably because I am a hands on learner. I find it difficult to learn when an instructor is solely lecturing. I believe that constant practice and hands on lessons are the most effective ways of learning.
I have an incredible passion for teaching. I am currently in the process of getting my Bachelors in Secondary Education with a focus in English. I have knowledge of the structure and content of the English language and thoroughly enjoy teaching others composition, spelling, creative writing, reading, vocabulary, etc. I do not have much experience yet in a classroom setting but have volunteered at a middle school while getting my Associates degree. I helped a teacher at a middle school to teach students that were having difficulty in various subjects.

More About This Tutor...

I earned my BA in PR and Journalism. My course of study required me to be able to write and spell correctly, as well as being able to form grammatically correct sentences. During and after college, I held jobs that required me to write articles, media releases, do research, and serve as a media rep for a large corporation. I taught for two years at Yavapai College as an adjunct instructor. After acquiring an MS, I worked in the human services field that also included much teaching...but in different subjects. I am proud of my students. I spent one year in South Korea, teaching English to students K-12, and one year in China, teaching at a State University.
My superior at Yavapai College who monitored my classes in order to write his evaluation, remarked once that "...you have the patience of an angel." I don't know whether this is entirely correct since I haven't had a personal e ... read more

My philosophy of education is based on the belief that we are all born natural, enthusiastic learners and, if appearances are to the contrary, there is a reason. I believe the effective teacher must determine the student’s learning style and tailor lessons to the individual’s strongest learning channel, their interests, passions, creative imagination and motivations. I have found as an educator, each “aha!” moment with a student, every sign that a new connection has been made or a deeper understanding has been realized, has brought renewed commitment, on my part, to the vocation of teaching.
I graduated from the UNH with a B.A. (summa cum laude) in Psychology in 1982. I attended Antioch/NE, graduating in 1985 with an M.A. in Counseling Psychology. I began a private practice and started teaching at the University of New Hampshire and at community colleges in the area and later at Em ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an English major and writer/editor with 15 years of experience, I have honed my grammatical, language and communication skills through the written word and verbal expression. With volunteer work at women's shelter's, I read to and helped elementary-age kids learn to read during my time spent with them.
I love being with and teaching children, especially when it comes to reading and books. I find it highly gratifying to see the joy that comes with learning to love to read and the subsequent doors of learning that open as a result. Though kids have different learning styles, I believe that books and the ability to read are a universal passion that transcends all backgrounds and abilities. I strive to make a difference with students that, by teaching them to read (and write?) well, it can open up brand-new worlds for them.

I have enjoyed training accountants,lawyers and real estate agents and would relish the opportunity to work with and train prospective accountants. It is a great satisfaction to share my knowledge and see individuals I have trained become successful and then continue to call me for advice and guidance when a problem arises. As a trial attorney I learned how to deal with people, how to organize my matters for a presentation to a judge,a jury and even IRS agents.

In high school I was able to tutor students in all subjects ranging from English to Math to Musical Studies. Furthering my education at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX really opened my eyes and mind to wider ranges of educational foundations. As a double major in Communication and Classical Studies, I was able to get a well rounded education in all subjects. I feel that I am also skilled in math and got a minor in Art History. I have always enjoyed tutoring students and seeing them "get" the subjects we are touching on.
I have always enjoyed tutoring students and seeing them "get" the subjects we are touching on. The look on their face during this moment is priceless.

Since receiving my teaching certificate in English from the state of California in 1985, I have been employed as a Guest Teacher within Tracy, Ca.; Stockton, Ca.; Modesto, Ca.; Turlock, Ca.; and, currently, in Prescott Valley, Az. I am frequently requested as a guest teacher at Glassford Hill Middle School in Prescott Valley and have served as a long-term guest teacher for English classes on numrous occasions.
As I am a very auditory/visual learner, I tend to to lean towards both auditory and visual techniques. I question the students as to what he or she intended to say in their writing, what is the intent of the paper--will this persuade the reader, inform the reader, compare/contrast ideas-- and see if the writer is in fact accomplishing this goal through effect word choices, sound reasoning, specific examples, and other components of writing. The hope is to edit the document fo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked as a social worker for many years. As a social worker, doing therapy with people is a complicated form of teaching, mentoring, counseling. I a one time for approximately one year taught adults preparing for their GED, or high school diploma. I have worked as a child and family therapist. I also wrote for a newspaper for one year and have many clippings.
Facilitating, building relationship, mentoring, supporting, encouraging, and content instruction. I believe it is easier for someone to learn if they believe you care about them and trust you are working in their best interest.
