More About This Tutor...

I am a recent college graduate with a bachelor's degree in TESOL. While a senior in college, I taught an intermediate ESL class for a semester and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also minored in Business/Office Administration and took specialized classes in Windows Vista and Microsoft Office programs. In addition, I have taught beginner and intermediate private piano lessons for two years. I also acquired some experience with special needs when I worked after school as a personal aide to a non-verbal teenage girl with severe autism.
I have taught a variety of skills and ages, from 1st graders in piano lessons to elderly adult immigrants learning the English language. I have a desire to meet people on their level and encourage them grow. I strive for an atmosphere that is both positive and structured that is a help to both my students and their parents.

As a recipient of a computer science degree, I have gained an understanding in many areas of math and computer software programming. I have a strong interest in education and am currently pursuing a Masters in Education. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and various essays. I have excellent communication skills and several years of experience signing for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. Therefore, I am very open to bypassing the usual language barriers to ensure that the overall message is received.
I love working with all children. I am patient, respectful, and considerate. I believe every person can learn when given the right environment and opportunity. It is my goal to help all students reach their potential. Gaining and giving understanding is very important to me.

I love helping people remove their obstacles especially in Math, Science, Foreign Languages, Sports, and Computer Science. I also love to show them the art of learning, the enjoyment of learning, and how they apply to their life. Almost all of the students love my classes and they become better students as they are exposed to my encouraging, supportive, and intellectual reasoning skills, which they obtain in the end. There is no doubt about the success of individuals who are around me even if it is just for couple of minutes. In addition, I am an enthusiastic team player with excellent presentation and interpersonal skills. I am also reliable and a quick learner, who is dedicated to quality performance. Furthermore, I am a critical decision maker with a success proven record in setting and achieving goals so you do not have anything to worry about.

I believe that it is essential to expect excellence and encourage that in the learning child. I believe that all life activities and situations can become a class for the young child and that positive input is the only acceptable criteria. Achedemic learning can be so much fun and can be applied to any segment of a child's daily activities. I have found that if a child feels that the teacher genuinely cares for him/her, that child can exceed even his/her own expectations. I understand the learning process and highly respect the individualized patterns that it can take. This is a part of the thrill of teaching and watching the light go on in a child.

I have had a love for teaching as early as elementary school.I was asked by my principal if I would help the first graders tell time. Then when I was in the seventh grade I was asked if I would like to tutor third graders.When I attended O.S.U I became a Reading Coordinator through the Right-To-Read Program.I taught other students how to teach adults and children how to read.I found this very rewarding.I also enjoy teaching sight words and spelling.I have taken many classes the last two years that help me work directly with younger children in meeting their needs and understanding how to help them learn to read. One of my gifts in life is having the patience to teach others because I care.

My teaching style is to lead by example. Being that I am a visual learning I try to work in steps showing them what is expected and them I allow them to slowly work it out themselves based off of what I've done. I've done a lot of teaching to children with Autism and our teaching style varied to fit the way the child was able to learn. I also took Educational Psychology in graduate school and learned the meaning of intentional teaching, which is teaching with the intent of having the student learn what you are teaching.
In response to your recently advertised job position, I would like to share with you my experiences working in the related field. I have over five years experience working for a non-profit, child caring institute for DFCS and DJJ children. I have worked directly with the children in managing behaviors and I have worked indirectly in creating individualized treatment ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style with my own children is conversational, hands-on, and intuitive. I explore what most captures their attention, then weave in the lessons by using any available teaching aids, such as whiteboard drawings, to illustrate a point, literally.
My German parents spoke (so-called "high", or proper) German at home in NY/NJ, which came in handy after we moved overseas when I was 13. Repeating 7th grade, I learned to read and write German fluently, as well as master the local dialects and sundry colloquialisms without a lingering accent. Doing so allowed me mask my heritage, enroll in higher education, and learn a trade, culminating in a long and rewarding all-encompassing painting career abroad and in the eastern US, before settling in Texas to explore telecommunications. I widely regard the world as a large classroom/laboratory.

I believe that students learn in a variety of ways and demonstrate their understand in many ways as well. Therefore, I strive to help students learn what type of learner they are by identifying their strengths and weaknesses and utilizing those in teaching. I also use Bloom's Taxonomy to take learners from learning knowledge to critical thinking. My strength in teaching is my ability to make a connection of the student and being approachable. This had allowed me to be an exciting part of a child's education and ultimately their future as an adult and contributor to society.
Prior to earning my degree in education, I was a sign language interpreter for the Deaf. I noticed that Deaf students were not getting an adequate education so I decided to finish my degree so that I would have the ability to have more influence with my student's ability to be successful regardless of their ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Being a tutor allows one to reach out and find the most personal and effective way to connect and instruct a student. My exposure to the many learning styles of students has taught me the importance of first understanding the student's learning style. I also believe it is important for teachers to find motivating factors for students. Lastly, I believe it is the teacher's responsibility to make learning fun for each student. When in combination, these factors create a successful learning environment for students.
I have been working with children of all ages, from diverse backgrounds, and in a variety of environments for many years. I have been a camp counselor, swim instructor, piano teacher, and religious education teacher. I currently have been substitute teaching in grades K-12.

I love working with children because they have such a youthfulness that is full of life and ready to take on new challenges. I have worked in numerous leadership roles and One of the aspects I try to instill within the mindset of children, is that English is not as boring as they may think. I believe that if you capture a child's mind by relating the core subject to something similar they are interested in, then you can teach them anything. I want to show students a new way of learning through hands on methods. I am patient yet firm.
