I am a student of history and believe that knowledge acquisition comes from interest and enthusiasm on the part of the learner. This interest comes from having an instructor who them selves is a learner. A partnership in the tasks being presented usually results in the student wanting to understand the information and making connections. To promote critical thinking I present the material in a global manner, allowing the learner to relate the information/skill to the real-world. Creative, innovative, and interesting lessons are my forte. I am experienced in providing a constructivist-based approach to knowledge acquisition. Hands-on lesson promote student involvement and increase the development of student responsibility towards their education. I have found that a cross-curriculum approach to the material being presented fosters true understanding and relevance.

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. Whether in the eyes of children or adults, the light of new knowledge enkindles success. I prefer an interactive style of teaching which engages as many senses as possible. Every person deserves success, especially in their search for knowledge. I perceive it is my responsibility to create an environment and the opportunity to foster success in that search. I am gregarious and enthusiastic. I exhibit a contagiously high level of energy in the classroom. Whether working one or one or in a group, I demonstrate a high level of competence when addressing the needs of the student(s) and the means to enable them to achieve success. I began teaching as an emergency substitute 3rd grade teacher. After 2 years, my husband's career took us to NY, OK, and PA where I continued to teach Religious Ed and substitute in parish schools.

I like working with children hands on and gaining a better understanding of what works best for them. Whether it be with visuals, paper, using words; I am up to meet the needs of the child to fulfill their highest potential. Also, I like learning from the child's response to see what works best and what doesn't as a best practices. I have coursework in special education and human development and family studies that has prepared me to work with children and families. My volunteer and paid experience as a substitute and child care teacher has allowed me to apply this knowledge directly to working with this group. In addition, I have mentored high school youth in the areas of scholarship and community service. As a freelance grant writer and nonprofit management professional, my reading and writing skills would be invaluable to young children.

My teaching style conforms to the learning style of the individual. Since no two people learn the same it is impossible to tutor the same way. I feel that once I have found a way to spark their interest and how they learn, it is much easier to help them acheive their goals and grasp the material. Many times the main goal is to teach the student how to learn, as many do not understand that function. Once they understand how they learn it becomes fun and easy. As a late bloomer to my education, I understand the importance of completeing an education at the earliest time. I currently hold a BS degree in business with an emphasis on international markets. This degree has helped me to better understand and appreciate economics, business math and accounting. In pusuit of this I have written papers from a 2 page summary to an 80 page thesis. In the past years I have tutored in Spanish 1

My passion for education blossomed while volunteering as a tutor with Somali refugee children in Pittsburgh, PA during college. I worked with families in their homes to develop English reading, writing, and speaking skills. After graduating with a B.A. in History and Political Science I joined Teach For America, where I taught first grade for two years and substitute taught pre-kindergarten through fifth grade for one year. A major focus while teaching first grade was developing literacy skills and instilling a love and enthusiasm for reading and writing in my students. The most important thing about my teaching style is that I believe every child can achieve academic excellence and can be interested in learning. I believe that it is up to me, as a teacher or a tutor, to engage the student(s). A huge part of this is being very transparent about where the student starts, what our goals ar

I have a BS in Biological Sciences and an MS in Biology. I have also worked in the science research environment for many years, including providing input for protocol, published papers, etc. I have a high aptitude for editing, writing, and proofreading. My grammatical skills are excellent and enjoy sharing this gift with others as I assist them. I enjoy helping people to learn. Aside from knowledge base expertise, certain qualities exemplify a good tutor: patience and being a good listener. Understanding a student’s learning strategies is foundational and incorporates good listening qualities. A desirable outcome will then be more achievable for the student. I try to let my student, regardless of age/grade, not feel intimidated or unintelligent regarding a certain subject or problem. This subsequently allows him or her to open up and feel comfortable as we work together to solve the prob

My teaching style is one that I obtained from two of my favorite college teachers whom I wished all others would duplicate themselves after. When I teach, I introduce myself and let others introduce themselves. I project an image of someone who is willing and able to assist and teach...someone who really does care (of which I have been told many times by former students). I let students know that if they have a question about anything, to please ask me. I am a detailed person and so I like to give detailed steps in achieving a desired outcome. I am positive minded and encourage my students on a positive level because how a person thinks is the direction they will be moving towards. In viewing my resume background, you will find that I hold a Ph.D., an MA, and a BBA along with a variety of Certifications or Licenses.

I love teaching in a one-on-one environment. I think that this environment makes it easier for teachers to be empathetic towards learning blockades. Last year I trained at a writing center on my university's campus and this experience refined my academic skills and my patience for learning. I believe that people can express themselves well if they are given good guidance. After finishing my undergraduate work, I served in the Peace Corps for over two years. During this time I worked with various groups in the areas of elementary education tutoring, ESL for children and adults, and small-business training. When I finished the Peace Corps I was awarded a scholarship/fellowship to Duquesne University, where I completed my Master's degree. During this time I worked half-time with a nonprofit. At the end of my fellowship this nonprofit offered me a teaching job in conjunction with West Virgin

I have a special interest in ESL students, having myself experienced what it is like as a child to be immersed in a foreign culture and school without speaking the language. As an adult, I also understand how critical it is to have strong English communication skills to succeed in today’s competitive marketplace.
