I believe that students need to gain the confidence in themselves in order to be successful academically. It is important that the teacher be encouraging and motivating so the students will have FUN learning! Academics have always been a primary focus in my life, but having balance is essential. To maintain balance, I actively take part in extracurricular community service with under-served persons of all ages and ethnicities. I was a volunteer at Sierra Vista Region

Although each child has his or her own style of learning, I believe in bringing out their highest potential by feeding them with the kind of construcive criticism and positive reinforcement that motivates every young mind. I am patient, respectful and warm. My hope as a tutor is to help students learn more easily by providing them with essential tools they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. In my 20 + years as a student, I have become convinced that a great teacher is essential to bolstering confidence, passion and motivation to learn. I intend to inspire all three. Only four years after immigrating from Belgium to the US, self motivated success and ambition allowed me to graduate Valedictorian of my high school class. I was offered a full ride scholarship to UC Berkeley, the #1 public university in the nation. I was pleased with my accomplishments and proceeded to keep fol

I enjoy teaching and utilize several different types of styles to keep students interested and desirous of learning. I provide thought provoking questions which require more than a simple yes or no answer. I envoke lecture as little as required to get across the point, but prefer demonstration or class participation. I utilize small groups so that students learn to interact with others. I have been teaching at the post-secondary level for 3 years. Prior to that time I taught classes in Emergency Medical Technician and Cardio-pulmonary Life Support to military Doctors, nurses and medical techinicians. I have been able to develop a great rapport with my students and offer special one-on-one attention when needed to ensure the required knowledge is gained. I have assisted students with medical laboratory procedures requiring unique individual instruction.

Recently I have been teaching at Nevada State College (Microbiology and Intro to Biology classes). While earning my graduate degree at Auburn University, I taught Human Anatomy and Physiology labs to undergraduate students. As a result of small class sizes, I was able to give students individual attention and encouragement. In addition, I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Spanish. Training in these disciplines has provided me with the ability to relate well with many types of personalities and with students from various cultural backgrounds. When people ask me what I want to do with my life, I say that I want to save the world, and I believe that teaching is one way that I can work toward that goal. Teaching, for me, is an opportunity to reach out to students and get them excited about science and the world in which we live. As a young girl, I stayed away from science, af

Throughout college, I completed two field experiences followed by my student teaching experience. In between my field experiences, I substitute taught in three different school districts. These personal accounts allowed me to examine the similarities and differences within grade levels, and to recognize the various strategies used to reach all learners in both suburban and urban settings. Being out in the field also enabled me to further enhance my ability to communicate well with students, parents and faculty. My studies abroad in Seville, Spain are also an essential supplement to my educational training and background. Being immersed in a foreign language and culture is an experience all its own. Last year I taught 3rd grade at Salida del Sol Elementary in Yuma, AZ. Many of the students that I taught were English Language Learners. I felt that I could relate to those studen

My recent tutoring experience involves my own children, both of whom I tutored in every subject up to the seventh grade. Except for Arithmetic, I still help my son in High School with other subjects. I look on teaching as a learning experience.I learn from my students, from their input and work on it, what I give is based on my student,s knowledge which I learn with patient effort.I start by letting the student tell me all thereby revealing his/her knowledge of the subject.Then I work to improve on their needs based on their knowledge.

From the moment I entered high school, I had a thirst for knowledge. Even though I was already attending the top private school in Atlanta, I wanted to ensure the maximum level of achievement. Therefore, I applied to the top boarding school in the country, Phillips Exeter Academy, and was granted admission! After high school, I attended the independant ivy, Wesleyan University, where my learning continued, not only in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom. I became a mentor and a tutor during my junior year. I am pleased to say that I am still on the journey of achieving a stellar eduaction, but more importantly, I am utilizing and enjoying my skills in sharing knowledge with others. My tutoring has progressed and remained a large part on my life. I would like to continue on this path to educate the world! As a teacher, I like to inspire the student to be the best that they ca

Since 1998, I've been volunteering and working with kids of all ages as well as physical/mental complications. I've taught and tutored in many areas that include Spanish, English, math, science, and sports. I love working with people of all ages especially with children. I have great references and lots of experience. I'm young, enthusiastic, organized, and patient. . Every child is different, and as a tutor, you have to be able to adapt using positive reinforcement, patience, and lots of concentration. At the same time, developing and understanding a relationship filled with common sense and a kind warming environment that makes our students comfortable with learning something that they may be having complications. You become more of a role model and not just a tutor. If a kid listens, learns, respects and wants to be around you then you know you have done a very good job.
