My teaching style generally varies based on who I am tutoring/teaching. I generally treat my students as adults and under the assumption that they will go to college. I also tend to go a little beyond what is covered in the subject (especially in math) as a preparation for whatever course may come next (i.e. I would probably give a prealgebra student full fledged algebra work in order to prepare him/her for the next year). I am a sophomore mathematics major at the University of Texas at El Paso. I have taught a GED class for adults facilitated by the Housing Authority of the City of El Paso (HACEP) and the YWCA. I have 6 years of tutoring experience and other programs under which I tutored include the National Honor Society, Beta Club, and JROTC.

As a 2009 graduate of the University of Texas at El Paso, holding a Bachelor of Arts, with a minor in English and American Literature, and with the teaching experience that I have gained in various fields since 2004, I feel that I am well-suited for this job. I have taught Reading ESL at the Transmountain EPCC Campus, as well as French at L’Alliance Francaise d’El Paso, and Spanish/ESL/French at La Paz Language Academy. I will also be teaching a Spanish beginners’ course at the History Museum of El Paso, giving evening classes to staff and community members, once a week, during the Fall semester of 2012. I have also tutored high school and college students in Ethics and in Literature courses, and still do so quite often. These positions enable me to provide these students with a “head start” in mastering basic skills. I am challenged to be creative, nurturing and most of all, patient.

I am firm but like to use students life experiences and hobbies to teach them subjects. Younger students I like to teach through play due to the fact that I am a firm believer that children learn through play. I have been studying education since my high school graduation in hopes of one day being the choir director at my high school.At the moment I am a student at UTEP studying bilingual elementary education and plan to receive a masters in music education after receiving my bachelors degree. I am currently a subsitute teacher and am hoping to continue helping students with their studies in the summer and weekends. In my schooland work experience I have worked with children of all grade levels and all subjects.

I have 10 years teaching experience. I have been teaching Language Arts/Social Studies to middle school (6th - 8th) students. I have instructed students in reading comprehension, writing, speaking, listening and visual literacy. I prepared lessons, instruct and evaluate students, and maintained classroom discipline, kept attendance records, grade assignments and provide feedback to students or parents. One of my greatest strengths as an educator is meeting each student’s unique needs by developing a personal understanding of each one of them. I achieve this by seeing and assessing the students as individuals, and tailoring lesson plans to accommodate multiple intelligences. My goal is to increase student motivation, awareness, and understanding of the language arts. I am very passionate about teaching and I hope to make an impact to my students.

I've worked numerous jobs, none of which were fulfilling except the ones where I worked with children, particularly students who were troubled or had learning disabilities. I was a theatre major in college, so you might be quick to think I was a flake or someone who just coasted by through college, but I graduated with a 3.7 GPA, receiving some of my best scores in Logic and History, but my favorite subject was Shakespearean literature. I've worked with many children over the years in both a daycare and classroom setting, some easier than others, but I respected and enjoyed working with all of them. I have a fun and vibrant personality and a great sense of humor which draws people in. My passion and joie de vivre is infectious. I'm not going to lie; I hated school when I was younger. Some people might think this a drawback when hiring someone as a tutor, but I think it has made me m

I'm currently attending UTEP, I will graduate in Dec. 2010 in Electrical engineering as well as receiving an Associate of Arts degree from EPCC. I worked for a year and 1/2 at EPCC as a Science, Math and Physics tutor, specifically. The classes that I have taken have provided me with knowledge in areas such as Math: Calculus I, II, III, Differential Equations, Matrix Algebra and history of Math. The Physics courses that I took include Physics I (Engineering Physics I), Physics II (Engineering Physics II), Modern Physics and Electromagnetic Field Theory. Also After participating in several training sessions provided by CRLA (College Reading & Learning Association) I became a CRLA Certified Tutor. My experience as a tutor has made me realize how much I enjoy tutoring. Science is my passion and I like sharing the knowledge that I have with those who need a little bit more help in. I feel t

I believe that teaching is about relationships. If I can cultivate a trust between myself and a student, it creates the right foundation for success. By being real and honest with students and encouraging them to be themselves, I clear the pathway for the best learning to happen. I tap into the prior knowledge of the student, find a confident, secure starting place for them, and then introduce new ways of thinking. Through student-centered methods, I create ways for them to discover and build on the concepts. This builds a cycle of confidence and a love of learning- to motivate the student toward grade-level accomplishments and beyond. I received a BA degree in Liberal Studies and a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from California State Univ, Chico. My experiences have prepared me well to meet the tutoring needs of each individual student. I have tutored privately since 1999, working

I ascribe to Gardner's 8 Stages of Intelligence theory, which purports the belief that every student is gifted, intelligent and capable of learning in a manner that conducive to their own unique style. As a teacher, I use myself as a tool to help facilitate the learning process. I have a social work background which, in my work has always been integrated with some component of teaching, both in and out of the classroom. I can teach most K-12 subjects, college prep courses and provide tutoring services including assessment and curriculum development. I tend to be rather versatile in my teaching methods as I adapt to the learning style of the student. It's what I have found most effective in improving the quality of their educational experience. I play tournament chess and enjoy coaching chess club as well.

Teaching on a one-to-one basis is the most personal and rewarding experience that a teacher may have. Part of the reason for this dynamic between the teacher and the student is because a student can learn many times over when it becomes a one-to-one basis. Of course, if a student is predisposed towards a particular learning style that is effective then it must be utilized. Reward and knowledge must be a constant. Finally, but most important, I have always believed that a teacher must be more interested in finding methods that are effective teaching techniques instead of being too preoccupied in teaching knowledge that showcases the teacher when it should be the student that is of paramount importance. My experience working with a diverse student community has enabled me to experience multiple learning capacities along with the added privilege of experiencing different cultures. I gr

I love sharing my knowledge to students. I know that accounting might be difficult for students and that each student might have different problems understanding it. I always try to find the problem first, then I know how to address a solution to the student. I believe that everyone can learn accounting if they are given the appropriate approaches and explanations. I also believe that students can take advantage of our current technology and use computer programs like Excel for better understanding. I have earned a Bachelor Degree in Accounting from the University of Texas at El Paso, which enable me to understand current issues about accepted accounting methods and principles for financial accounting. In Addition, I have extensive knowledge about managerial and cost accounting. Besides financial and managerial accounting, I have knowledge about "Taxes," I worked as a Tax Preparer for th

In the early sessions I ask my students a lot of questions to figure out their goals, problems, current knowledge and learning style. Based on what I find I build a teaching strategy. I then help them find appropriate materials if they don't already own some. I try a few methods to find the one that works best. If I'm teaching a language I like to combine grammar, vocabulary building exercises, as well as speaking and listening. I give them small quizzes to measure their progress. I help them find fun level-appropriate reading and listening materials. I give them sources online and information on what types of dictionaries are useful. I give them my email and tell them to contact me if they ever have any questions. As a graduate of a selective liberal arts college with a BA in East Asian Studies, Magna Cum Laude, I am driven to achieve excellence in my endeavors. I specialized in intern
