Taught English ESOL in Japan for four years, working with students from toddler to senior citizen. I have a fairly relaxed style, though I am flexible and can adjust to whatever will make the student(s) most comfortable. I worked as an ESL teacher in Japan for almost four years teaching people of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens.

I have been tutoring as a volunteer and as a job for a combined 7 years now. I have worked in both one on one tutoring with a dyslexic student, tutoring in specialized topics, and group peer tutoring. My longest individual tutoring experience has been with Aidan, who is dyslexic and I have been working with for 4 years. We focus on taking the larger, more daunting tasks and breaking them into smaller sections. Because of his unique learning style, I have learned many creative ways to present the information at hand. I have experience tutoring a wide range of subjects such as high school and college level chemistry and biology, math, world and US history as well as English.

I tutored for the Federal Way, WA campus of DeVry University from spring of 2007 to fall of 2008. I tutored students in English, multiple maths, programming, game design, logic, and test prep. I stopped tutoring to devote my time to the final project of my degree. Now I'm an independent video game developer tutoring to make "ends meet" while I'm working on my first commercial game project. I present the information or concepts at hand in several different ways. I draw on the learners personal experiences to make the information or concepts relevant to them. I help the learner tie the information or concepts to their own knowledge base thus establishing ownership.

As a former classroom teacher and district literacy coordinator and instructional coach, I feel that I have a wealth of experience helping children of all socioeconomic, language, and academic levels. After relocating, I branched out into different educational avenues, such as developing elementary math curriculum for a software company and contract work for various academic-support companies. Currently, I independently contract with two education-based companies, as well as tutor students in an academic center. I have tutored English Language Learners in Integrated Language Arts, Writing, and Mathematics. Currently, I tutor Phonics, Reading and Language Arts, and Mathematics (2nd to 8th grade). I am always on the lookout for the twinkle in a student's eyes when he has finally understood an especially challenging skill or concept. This is what keeps me working with children, although I n

I have been professionally teaching for almost 30 years whether it be swimming to five year olds or flying to heads of aviation organizations. Few things give greater satisfaction than sharing what I have learned with others and watching them grow as they learn. A skilled, dedicated teacher, with a passion for the subject, can get anyone to learn, all the learner needs is a little desire. It is my job as a teacher/mentor to explore and grow that desire. I believe in a relaxed, but disciplined teaching environment of mutual respect between teacher and learner where both can learn from each other. I have been a professional instructor pilot for 20 years teaching pilots from over 30 different countries in English and Spanish. I have a BS in Zoology, an MA in Information Management, and am working on an MS in Aeronautical Science. I have ten years grammar school, high school (AP), and

I have a very active, hands-on teaching style. Since every individual learns differently, I incorporate visual, aural, oral, and physical elements into my all of my lesson plans. I listen to what my student's objectives are, the parent or guardian's objectives, as well as personally identifying overlooked areas for improvement. Having set the goals, I work with the student to achieve those goals. Since graduating from Bryn Mawr College, I have spent nine years tutoring and teaching students a wide variety of subjects including English as a foreign language, Spanish, Russian, music, elementary academics, adult basic education, special needs education, and transition skills. I have taught in a classroom setting, as well as small group and one-on-one.

It is my belief that teaching truly works only in partnership with learning. My preferred approach to teaching is to start by finding out about students' needs and interests to help them develop and meet their goals. By planning out what students have to learn and showing how these things can lead to what they want, teachers bring students into the process of taking responsibility for their own education. Finally, accepting responsibility for their own education allows students to become life-long learners, which improves their ability to adapt and change with future challenges. I have worked with students of almost every age and level. My first teaching degree was a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. With that degree, I worked in a preschool, and I have substituted extensively in elementary schools and in middle and high schools for 12 years, learning to work with math system

I enjoy teaching students of all ages. My teaching style is very simple; I set goals and expectations upon meeting the parents and then set sub goals with the students that are achievable but challenging. I believe in teaching the student the information and then having the student teach the information back to me. I have found that there is no such thing as a bad or dumb child they are simply unmotivated and need to have the information presented to them in a different manner. My main goals are to find how to motivate the child and how I need to present the information. I have solid teaching and tutoring experience in both classroom and a one on one scenario. I taught English for a private academy in South Korea to children ages K-12 and also tutored adults one on one. After completing my contract in South Korea I returned to graduate school in order to earn a master’s degree in B
