Learning is a journey. I have a map but you have the wheels

As a lifelong learner I understand the importance of an effective teacher. I have been teaching and assisting college level classes for 2 years as a Graduate Teaching Assistant. During this time I have taught 6 classes consisting of introductory microbiology, microbial genetics and general biology. This experience has allowed me to develop my own teaching style and led to a greater understanding of both sides of the teacher-student dynamic.
I believe the best way to learn is to ask questions. The best thought process begins with asking the right questions. As a student, I find that knowing the right question was often as important as right answer. Taking this lesson into teaching, I find that getting the student to ask the right question makes all the difference in their understanding. My perspective of teaching is to help the student to find and better understand their own questio ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with students of all sages. I believe that you are never too old or too young to learn new skills, both academically and in life. I am able to help your student achieve academic success through the application of basic concepts in economics, finance, history or philosophy to the real world and using real world examples. Great teachers make great learners, I have had several in my life and I strive to emulate them in all of my teaching experiences.
As a graduate of a presigious liberal arts college, I was driven to a belief in life-long learning. As such I have been to graduate school twice, once in business and once in international relations, to gain an understanding of the world in which we live both in terms of economics and finance and through the study of foreign policy and the wider world. I became fluent in Spanish while on assignment in Spain in ... read more

I enjoy sharing knowledge of science with people of all ages. Many people find science to be intimidating, but I believe that once a person gets past the vocabulary barrier, the concepts of science are less overwhelming. One of my strengths is distilling scientific knowledge from the incomprehensible to concepts that anyone can understand. Most people struggle with science by trying to memorize a bunch of facts without understanding what they mean. I approach science in a concept-driven method, and the details tend to follow naturally.
I have a PhD in Microbiology and dual majored in college to obtain a BS in both Biomedical Science and Health Chemistry. As a result, I have a wealth of knowledge in the areas of science and mathematics. I also have extensive experience writing and editing grant proposals and research papers and understand well the mechanics of the English language. ... read more

Although my primary academic interests are English literature and history, I have seven years of experience teaching writing and English as a Second Language. As a graduate student at CSU, I taught five sections of undergraduate introductory composition and completed an internship in pedagogical theory. I moved to Prague in 2002 and began my career as an ESL professional, teaching ESL and test preparation to groups and individuals at all levels, both in-school and in-company. In 2005 I was promoted to Senior Teacher for Observations and was responsible for evaluating and advising other ESL teachers. As a tutor, I would be happy to teach literature, British history, composition, ESL or related fields.
Having been a teacher for the past seven years, I am very much aware of the challenges both students and educators face in finding effective teaching methods and resources. It dep ... read more

I have taught and tutored second languages (French and Spanish) and English here and abroad with every age level, (including K-12, university and continuing education classes), have served as Director for Study Abroad programs, organized and led European tours, and have extensive experience in standardized testing (I wrote in Texas Oral Proficiency Exam in French and edited the TOPT for Spanish for that state's teacher candidates, trained scorers for Basic Skills and subject-area tests in 11 states). My PhD is in Language Education/Applied Linguistics; my MA is French Language and Lit; my BA, French/English; and my proficiency for French is native-level ("Superior" by ACTFL standards).

As a classroom teacher I quickly learned to engage each student individually. I prefer tutoring because I can tailor my instruction to a specific student. Children have different learning styles so it is my responsibility as the instructor to adapt lessons to maximize learning for each child. Ideally I am able to guide a student to realize concepts in their own terms rather then dictate facts to them.
I recently completed two years of teaching Physical Science in a secondary school in Namibia as a Peace Corps volunteer. Prior to that I earned a BS in Computer Science which included a mathematics minor and courses in physics and chemistry. I tutored throughout my time in the Peace Corps, my undergraduate studies and my high school years.

I am a life-long learner with degrees in Zoology & Philosophy, and I was the Valedictorian of my high school. I have 17 years of experience in the IT industry, mostly as a Technical Writer. I have taught in public school (Science for 6th-12th grades), I have tutored in the subjects of reading, writing, math, and science, and I have taught as a substitute in various subjects.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have helped children prepare for preschool through games and activities, and community college students brainstorm ideas for transfer essays. I am very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I have worked at a Montessori preschool and am comfortable using hands-on, creative methods for learning. Each student is different and learning approaches need to reflect that. I have worked with sensory-sensitive preschoolers, mentally challenged high school students, and ESL students ranging in age from 3 to 40. Whether they needed to learn how to tie their shoes, write an essay, the parts of an atom, how to use a conjunction, why the slope of a line is important, or how to write their name, I was there to help.

I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences.
