Presently, I teach Intensive English for International Students at the University of Northern Colorado, including grammar, reading, vocabulary, computer skills, writing, and speaking/listening classes. I believe education should be fun and that students learn better when they are in a relaxed environment. Humor, praise, patience, and encouragement are essential to good learning.

When you enter a classroom it is like entering a mixing bowl full of different ability levels, motivation levels, talent, and skill. It is the teacher’s job to address each one of their students as an individual to assess what their strengths and weaknesses are. I believe in data driven assessments, but also in getting to know a student personally. The students know what they are good and not good at. They will be honest most of the time if they are comfortable with you. I believe in differentiation to the highest degree and practiced this in my alternative high school experience every single day. It is not fair to bore some students with information they already know and overwhelm others to the point of lowering their self esteem. To address each skill level is to know your students personally and academically. I am a firm believer that it takes someone special to be a teacher. A good t

To effectively teach any subject I first take the time to clearly organize my thoughts on the subject, decide upon what objectives/information that I would like/need to convey to my students, and then prepare a complete lesson plan including clear goals and a concise agenda for day's topic,which will be shared with the students at the start of the lesson. During the next segment, I present and explain the chosen topic in enough detail to provide a foundation for the class to then be able to engage in a variety of interactive,skill mastery activites, designed to further clarify the subject in as many different ways as are necessary to meet the various learning styles and needs of all the students present. I have been teaching in both classroomas well as one-on-one settings here in the US as well as Europe and South East Asia for over 20 years. My students have been of all abilities and

I strongly believe that the key to success in teaching is flexibility. Each and every student has a different style of learning and the successful teacher must be able to adapt to those styles. I believe that it is important to be patient and to meet students where they are. Students must be given constant positive feedback and motivation. When students know that I care about their education, they care as well. As a child of a university professor and preschool director, education has always been a focal point of my life. I began teaching and tutoring during college, both in religious and secular settings. I have taught music, Hebrew and Judaic Studies to 3rd, 6th, and 9th graders. I also spent several months tutoring high school students in math, science, English and history.

I enjoy meeting students of all ages at their level of understanding and meet easily the challenge of figuring out how to communicate in ways that make sense to the individual. My task as a teacher is, essentially, to believe in the student's ability to learn and to achieve their goals. I ask questions to engage inquiry: students think about their thinking, ask original questions and, with my assistance, discover appropriate solutions. Students construct their own understanding. Together, we forge and manipulate abstract tools of cognition and apply concrete solutions. As a biology undergraduate at IOWA, I focused as much on how professors taught as I did on the content they were teaching. My interest is in meta-cognition and making sense of our world through unique tools of learning: reading, reason, art, music, language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in biology and certificati

I started tutoring as a result of my knowledge base and the needs of the young people I worked with. My first tutoring experience was with a young man who was studying pre-calculus. Since then, I have tutored in upper level mathematics, history and social studies, English composition, and basic sciences. I had a position as a history and social studies teacher for five years in a private school, and have also taught adult education and GED prep. My approach to education is extremely individualized. My students have taught me that we all learn differently, and that success is always reachable with patience and persistence. I find that creativity and a variety of approaches to learning are the keys to making this success happen.

I graduated from the University of Denver with a dual degree in Sociology and French. During my time in college I studied abroad both in France and in Ireland. I studied french literature extensively while abroad. I taught English for a summer in the French Alps as well. Though I have never been an official tutor, I have three brothers and tons of friends that Ihave helped with their studies. I am a very hands on teacher at first. I feel it is necessary to provide someone the tools to be able to succeed on their own. I am extremely patient, and as a person who grew up with a learning disability, I have come up with different links and techniques to process information and make it more fun at times as well.

As a graduate student, I worked as a tutor in the campus Writing Center. Later, just before graduating, I taught Writing, ESL and GED at the Denver County Jail. Since completing my degree, I became a Writing and Critical Thinking Professor for two separate Universities (Metro State College and Devry University), where I've been for almost nine years. I think learning should be fun. If a student doesn't enjoy what she is doing, she won't likely attain mastery of the discipline. Moreover, I think students learn best by doing as opposed to being told what to do (i.e. practice as opposed to lecture and explanation). This means that I leave a lot of space for students to try things without fear of making mistakes. Evaluation (especially critical evaluation) is an important element in the later learning process, but initially the priorities should be placed upon fun, experimentation, praise, a

As a recent graduate of the Intial Professional Teacher Education Program at the Univeristy of Colordao Denver, I have had the opportunity to learn and implement the latest strategies and techniques in elementary education. Currently I am completing my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in technology , anticipated graduation date July 2005. Through this I have learned the importance of integrating technology in the classroom and curriculum. I have tutored students in Reading, Writing and Math. As an educator, one of my goals is to help all students realize and meet their potential. I have worked closely in non-traditional schools with students that have diverse needs. Through the use of hands-on / minds-on activities, cooperative learning, an integrated curriculum and the use of technology I beleive all childern can accomplish this. Tutoring offers student

During my tenure at Sillim English Academy in Korea, I was challenged with a myriad of diverse students placed in a unique learning environment requiring effective communication, motivation, mentoring, and flexibility. This teaching experience enabled me to advance critical educational skills in numerous directions. My organizational and presentation skills have been challenged and strengthened through this beneficial and rewarding teaching experience. I believe I possess the necessary skills and experience which would be an asset to your program and would provide your students with a unique perspective on history. My true passion is teaching history. I understand that students are required to take history courses and that some students may not have an interest in it as a subject. Furthermore, some students may be interested in history, but might struggle with certain aspects of history.
