I am semi-retired with ongoing businesses. Teaching young minds is what I enjoy as I am a specialist in developmental intelligence. I have taught at all levels, from elementary to post graduate levels. Additionally, I have wide experience in various unrelated fields as I am a `Renaissance Man` by inclination. I am currently President of the Oregon Chess Federation. I am also one of the most...
Highly organized, excellent oral and written communication, and enjoy teaching.
I am committed to empowering students intellectually, fostering leadership and confidence, and nurturing personal growth. Students are most successful when they feel valued as individuals, challenged, supported, and motivated to learn. As an educator, it is my responsibility to create a learning...
I see teaching as a future profession and I would like to gain some more hands on experience before entering the teaching field. I feel that if I can successfully aid those who are having trouble understanding concepts, then I could potentially help all the students that I interact with.
Along with some student tutoring, I have spent some time at my current job training others at...
I have ten years’ experience working with learning disabled students including students with ADHD, autism, etc. I have taught very sick students through the Home and Hospital Program as well as developmentally and physically disabled students.
I have vast tutoring and teaching experience and I’m looking for the right place to continue my practice. Specifically, I worked for Ivy West...
I have worked with children from many different backgrounds. Including children with trouble graduating from elementary schools, and children who do not speak my language. I feel that these experiences have made me a teacher who is able to cater to the different needs and learning habits of a variety of children.
Too many students in K-12 are unnecessarily terrified of math, think they are bad at math, and hate math because they don’t think they can succeed in it. I want to help students understand the basics so they can complete current assignments and, more importantly, confidently build on their knowledge so they can continue to be successful in math. It’s crucial for students to have positive role...
Having worked with students with varying learning difficulties I am able to be patient and to engage them with their courses. I have fostered a successful learning environment through peer tutoring. I am passionate about teaching. I am both CPR and First Aid certified.
I have been tutoring since 2008 where I worked with college students who had learning disabilities. I found that tutoring was not just teaching someone how to solve problems. It also required skills motivating students to learn and building students’ confidence. Especially the students I worked with had bigger difficulties than others, I paid more effort in help them. Thus, when the results came...
I specialize in varying teaching techniques, customizing for each individual learner. I believe people have difficulties learning because everyone learns in a different way, and they just need another point of view to help them conceptualize.
I have been a swim coach for the last 4 years, working primarily with athletes aged from 5-15. I just finished my degree in mathematics with focus in secondary education. I also worked as an educational assistant in a low income elementary school. At this elementary school, I proposed, created, and ran a math club for struggling math students.
I am articulate, open minded and friendly. I am a passionate math teacher always excited about it and I transmit the same excitement to the students. I make the students shun hatred for math, they start loving math under my advice, guidance, and care. I am an experienced teacher of math (10+ years), comfortable with instructing lower and upper level math through precalculus.
I speak Spanish, so I can work with Spanish speakers as well as English speakers. My native language is English, and I learned Spanish as an adult. I can help people a great deal with their Spanish and English, in particular with ESL. I would really like to work with Latino populations...I have a special affinity with their culture. I`ve lived in Mexico since 2009.
I have realized throughout my time working as a tutor that threatening and belittling children are not appropriate motivators. Children need to be encouraged and lightly admonished and be allowed to realize their own passion for learning.
I have a recently discovered passion for tutoring, one I found through tutoring students in office hours. I enjoy working hard to get students grades up and actively helping students enjoy school and academics more.
Tutoring comes easily to me. I am excellent at communicating and teaching concepts, algorithms for problem-solving, and tips and tricks to aid understanding and increase problem-solving speed. I can tailor my tutoring lesson plan to any individual based on their strengths and weaknesses to maximize their growth and progress in a certain subject. Also, I am an extremely visual learner and so...
I have experience working with a diversity group of students in the subjects of elementary math and reading and graduate school biostatistics, epidemiology, econometrics, public health, and health policy.
I am passionate about instruction and helping others to reach their goals. I have a long history of devoting not just my jobs but my volunteer activities to teaching and learning and have now chosen a career which fosters lifelong learning among tomorrow`s youth. I hope that the skills gained through this job will supplement my current instruction techniques and methodolgy, enriching the...
Since I was very young, I have always enjoyed helping young people like myself to do better and understand things they are trouble with. I also remember in high school; I had a very good Mathematics Teacher who developed in me even more the desire to become a Teacher.
