I have a teaching experience of more than 6 years. Teaching is my passion, so dedicate myself completely while teaching. I have an experience of teaching students of various age groups. At present I am teaching Maths in Aloha. While teaching I make it a point that the students have a very clear concept on the subject. After I make the student understand about the topic, I make it a point to provide them with enough of practice work based on that topic so that they are clear with all the confusions.

I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for submission. These students will always earn excellent grades. I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand. It is a pleasure to watch students grow in

As a substitute teacher in the Bethalto school district, I feel I have been trained in all of the subjects necessary to tutor students. On a daily occurrence, I teach math, science, english, reading, social studies, etc. My specialties are english and reading. English was my minor in college and is something that has always been second nature to me. I was also a personal tutor for a child in the spring of '08 an fall of '08. His grades improved drastically from Ds and Fs, to Bs. I have a very unique way of teaching. My key to success works on a system of discipline and rewards. I find creative ways to make the most mundane tasks fun to accomplish. I think the number on rule in teaching strategy should be finding a way to make the process enjoyable. I believe most kids that do poorly in school have an incredibly hard time putting their hearts into tutoring. In my professional experience,

I do not have a specific teaching style. Everyone is different, so one particular type of teaching style may not be as effective as another. In order to be effective, I think it is important to recognize the students strengths and weaknesses before embarking on a certain learning path. I have a Bachelor's degree in History and an Associate's in Process Technology. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society. I possess excellent math skills and took statistics in college. I enjoy helping others and feel I am a good fit for this position.

I enjoy teaching and tutoring students. I am patient, considerate and supportive. All students can learn but in different ways. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I firmly believe that teaching a student to be independent is very important. I am a firm believer in teaching through trial and error in providing an approach to learning. All children can meet their potential if given the tools and proper direction. A good educator can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students lives. I very much believe that excellence in education is essential. I have earned a BS in Microbiology, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, while working as a research biologist for 17 years I acquired extensive math and science skills. I have eight years of tutor

As a student at the University of Chicago, I have tutored at the local Ray Elementary school through the Neighborhood Schools program. There, I tutored two fourth grade ESL students, an Italian boy and a Korean girl, primarily in math and reading. I have also tutored at the STRIVE tutoring center, helping a 7th grader and 8th grader with math and reading. As a mathematics major and a math whiz in high school, I have covered calculus and algebra material many times over and approached them in multiple ways (analysis, IBL, etc). In addition, I have had a lot of experience writing papers and editing peer papers for style and grammar. As a tutor, I understand my responsibility primarily as that of helping children reach their potential. I try to help my students understand concepts they are struggling with in primarily three ways. First, I find what their strengths are and see if I ca

I love working with children. I am a caring, gentle, patient, firm and loving educator. Creativity and individuality are important for children in academic success. Education should be offered in a positive, safe, and supportive environment and enhance academic, social and emotional performance. Educating children with engaging, fun, hand-on activities while guiding them and promoting the development of learning is important in my teaching style. I graduated magna Cum Laude with a 3.9/4.0. I am motivated to do the best I can in all facets of life. I have 16 years experience owning and operating my own Performing Arts Studio and instructing classes for 2 years through adult. I enjoyed the opportunity of seeing things through the eyes of children, experiencing their eagerness for learning, and being a part of opening them to reading, language, music, and movement activities to increase the

As an ambitious doctoral candidate and highly motivated life-long learner, I am currently focused on academia and all that it entails. For example, I have earned a bachelor degree in psychology and a certificate in trauma studies. In addition, I have earned a master's degree in adult and higher education and am thoroughly enjoying my dissertation work/research in earning my doctoral degree. Additionally, I have three certificates in writing (Writing, Technical, and Creative), a certificate in institutional research, and a certificate in university teaching. My philosophical foundation of teaching reflects on my own learning experiences during my undergraduate and graduate coursework. During much of those higher learning opportunities, my professors utilized a very respectful perspective towards all students, and this background of having role models has instilled in me the importance of

I have a history of Academic success in multiple disciplines. My Major was an individualized major through the Honors College at Central Missouri State University (now University of Central Missouri). I studied literature, writing, grammer, editing, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and history. I was an assitant editor for Pleiades, A Journal of New Writing, and maintained the high academic standards of the Distinguished Scholar Award throughout my college career. This award was based upon performance in High School and each semester of college coursework, and paid all college expenses. I was a substitute teacher at Odessa Middle School for one semester and I have been tutoring in the arts since High School. Every student can be a successful student. While Academic success may come easier to some, I believe the key is to communicate to each student in a way that

Learning should be fun. I strive to make a point of this when ever I teach. I do this in both lectures and tests. I find a little humor takes the edge off test taking and allows the student to concentrate on the subject matter without being nervous. I have taught Accounting courses at a JC and Business College in the St. louis area. I also taught Accounting and Finance courses at a Business College in Raleigh, NC. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to continuing.

Over the past 12 years, I have worked in both the private and public sectors of the education community. I have taught grades 7-12 in all areas of science. I have also been the director of a learning center, where I started as a tutor. The years of experience have taught me a great deal about children of all ages and abilities. With each new year, I learn something new about myself and my style. Because science is a "hands-on" subject, I feel it is extremely important to use demonstrations, examples that are relevant to every-day life, experiments and anything else that will help students understand the world around them. I have been told that I have an "out-of-the-box" approach to learning, but have found it to be successful with the majority of students. Classroom discussions are utilized more often then lectures, because when a student plays an active role in their education, th

I have four years teaching experience in all levels of education. I have been involved helping students improve their learning skills. Students need a teacher that can break complex problems to simple forms for better understanding, and this is my role. I have experience in math and science. I understand that students learn at different speed, but this speed can be improved with time and constant practice. Everybody have the ability to learn if given the opportunity, and this is what I am always willing to do. I enjoy teaching because I know I can bring out the best in my students
