My teaching style is has proven to work with many students. The most important issue with tutoring is to identify where the student has the most difficulty. There are many ways to present material, such as discussion, visual effects and hands-on. What I have learned is that many people can learn through more than one way of teaching. It is important to go at there pace and reinforce the information they have already learned. I love teaching and it shows in my presentation and my tone of voice. A good educator will never withhold any information. I have been teaching since 1986. I have taught in the healthcare field through a Vocational Technical Institute, University and Private Education Center.

My teaching style is a collage of teaching styles. I am well aware that students retain and use information in numerous ways. Sometimes, I facilitate from the side, allowing the students to take hands on control with the information, at other periods, I might lecture on the topic and then question and discuss issues provided from what was just read. One just has to be acquainted with the learners' style and then the subject, lesson plan, and displaying of information can be customized more suitedly, to the student. Any student can learn, they just have to have the information provided to them in a manner where they can retain it and make it useful. I earned a bachelors degree in English Literature and a minor in Education. During these undergraduate years, I helped student teach regular English courses ranging from reading comprehension, essay writing, and literary analysis in various sc

I use verbal and visual techniques for teaching and prefer to add an element of kinetic learning for tutoring. I explain the material in the book, preferably after the students have read the chapter. I also provide time for questions and answers, as well as group discussions and projects. I rely on exams only to show me if the students are understanding the material. If not I offer to tutor them or suggest they find a tutor. I tutored math and science for Carl Albert State College from Sept. 1994 to May 1995.

All people can learn, you just have to find a way to make the student understand the information, if its hands on or reading or a combination of both. Children need the tools and the direction and if you provide them both, the sky is the limit. I want to make a difference in a child's life.

I am prepared to effectively facilitate learning for every individual student, no matter how culturally similar or different, or whether or not he or she has a behavior or learning disability.The teaching methods I will use depend on the student, some are tactile learners, some are kinesthetic, etc. Two of my goals for your student are:to encourage taking an active role in their own education by bringing their thoughts and ideas into the learning scope and to address different learning styles.

Even after I had completed my Masters program, I was asked by the Foreign Language Department to return for the summer semesters to teach as a lecturer. As a Microsoft Office Master Instructor I taught MS Office applications, as well as basic VBA programming and Project Management to adults of all experience levels.

I prefer to help individuals learn at their own pace, using their own preferred method of learning: visual, aural, hands-on, or a combination. I use analogies and real world situations that students are familiar with to convey abstract concepts. Although I am patient and encourage fun in learning, I ur

After studying a variety of subjects in college and graduate school, I realized that most (if not all) of the world's problems could be alleviated through better education. I love getting students interested and involved in studying and exploring all that the world has to offer. I like to facilitate this by using examples that students can relate to and are are interested in. All children are different, but they all deserve enough individualized attention to help them meet their potential. Just one person can make a huge difference in a child's life and how they feel about education. As a former instructor at the University of Arkansas, I am dedicated to furthering the education of others. I taught as the sole instructor for American National Government (ANG) core course for two semesters (60 students each) and was an assistant teacher for one semester in a class of 220.

I am very patient and reassuring to students and wait for them to get the answer on their own when tutoring mathematics. I show them how to do it first, then let them try, and then re-explain. We would continue this repetitively with different problems until they can do it independently. It is also important to listen very carefully as to what they are saying. I have extensive experience in mentoring minors and persons with intellectual disabilites for 3 years.

My teaching style is one of discipline and at the same time hands-on. Students must feel the relevance of the world around them in order to gain an understanding of what's being taught. I work with the individual but never let the focus off of the competition that's waiting. Students must understand that learning is an every day, every moment experience. It's all about how they see the world around them. I love teaching and working with children. The "aha" moment is what I live for. I believe that EVERY student can achieve what they set their mind to with guidance and persistence. In a nutshell, I taught high school English for eleven years. I am passionate about all facets of education in the classroom and the real world. I have much to offer my students whether it be a love of literature, grammar and vocabulary or life itself! I love to teach.
