My beliefs about teaching are to educate and challenge students to become skillful communicators, independent thinkers, and life-long learners. I believe every child has a different learning style. Learning should occur in a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment. I will be accepting of my all my students as individuals and encourage them to do the same with their peers. It is my belief that children are at various levels of intellectual, emotional, social and physical development. Therefore, I will be oriented toward the unique students’ needs and interests and I will provide a flexible educational program. I received my B.S degree The Pennsylvania State University and my Masters Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix. I have always known that I wanted to become a teacher. I believe educating our future, our children, is one of the most important jobs anyone could

As an educator I have the opportunity to help my students find their strengths, build on them, and guide them on their future path. This opportunity can also be a challenge. It becomes my responsibility to rise to the challenge and be the person they say was important in shaping their future. I want to be prepared to help students recognize their strengths and how those apply to a profession, how to prepare for the transition from school to the workforce, the military, or college, and how to successfully embark on their post-school life. I have been an educator for 23 years,as an elementary school teacher, and in special education at the secondary level. I have a master's degree in learning disabilities, and have worked on a Child Study Team for the past 14 years. I believe all children can learn if taught to their individual learning style. I have taught home instruction and tutored

I teach and tutor with enthusiasm and passion, and my love of the subject eminates throughout my instruction. Whatever the student's past experiences in math, I will make the course fun and easy to learn. I have accumulated literally thousands of different ways to teach each topic in every course, which means that I will discover the way each student learns best, and enable him or her to achieve success in the course beyond their expectations. I am patient, flexible, resourceful, and a pleasure to work with. You'll see. I graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University with a BS degree in mathematics and teaching certification in PA. I taught secondary math in the Allentown School District for 7 years, served as department chairman at Kildonan School in NY for 12 years, taught math at Blue Ridge School in VA for 5 years, taught math at Poly Prep in NY for one year, taught math at CFS, the

I like to tell people that i did not choose teaching; rather I believe it chose me. I have always worked with children that were struggling whether it was socially or academically. I was typically working with what are known as the "at risk" students. However, I eventually found my way into the classroom as It was noticed that I had a natural ability to balance teaching in the content area and managing behaviors. I loved math all of my life and even found myself tutoring fellow college classmates. I have been teaching math now for 6 years and have been the lead math teacher in every school that I taught for. My teaching style is one in which I find ways to relate content to the students' everyday lives. I like to balance textbook knowledge with practical applications and cultural relevance. I also am a firm believer in planning lessons that require higher order thinking skills yet do not

I am currently back in the Reading area after completing two years with Teach For America on Chicago's Southside. While there, I taught 9th Grade English/Test Prep and 6th Grade writing, which I loved! Two years ago, I graduated from Barnard College, which is the undergraduate women's college of Columbia University in New York. During my time in New York, I tutored many young children in English/writing and French conversation and grammar.Because of my content area, my tutoring strengths are English, writing, test-prep and grammar work. While in high school, I spent 6 months abroad in France, and continued French coursework throughout my undergraduate career. I am happy to tutor in French conversation. Thanks for reading! I love teaching and working with children of all ages. As an undergraduate, I participated in a Writing Fellowship, which allowed me to meet with students to work on

I have always been intrigued by mathematics especially it’s connection and explanations for various fields of science. By teaching my students the foundations of math I have grown to enjoy and appreciate it even more. I look forward to extending my skills I gained in completing my Masters Degree in Classroom Technology into my 7th and 9th grade classes at Boyertown Junior High West where I have been teaching for three years. I currently teach 7th grade pre algebra, 9th grade Algebra 1b and 9th grade Honors Geometry. I also tutor all levels of math at Junior High West and run our after school math tutoring program.

I believe in constructivism. Students learn more when they make their own learning. They need to see the real world application of the material and how it applies to them. I try to create tasks that are hands-on, use authentic materials, and encourage students to collaborate with others and think outside of the box. I have taught high school in three different countries: Germany, UK and USA. I am passionate about foreign languages and social studies, and I care about my students. It is my intention to broaden their horizons and help them reach their potential as students and as human beings.

When a student feels that he or she is staring up at an insurmountable wall, it is important to remember that, as a teacher, that you cannot go with them. You have to provide the strategies students need to surmount, not only the obstacle currently before them, but the one after that, and the ones they will encounter farther down the road. Students come to the classroom or to tutoring with the desire to grow in substantive ways and to learn and to become skilled at working with new concepts and to understand how those ideas connect with the greater world. I see myself as a guide, a coach, and as someone who works to teach students to “decode” complex ideas and texts— a person whose job it is to lessen frustration and to build confidence. I have been teaching English, composition, college research and writing, argument and persuasion, fiction writing and poetry at the university and comm
