...too long on one mistake, especially in grammar at least, is not as conducive as saying, good practice, we will keep working on this, and going to the next point. In lots of events, the thing that confuses them may become clearer through more examples of it, or from a different concept allowing the difficult to manage concept to "click". Focusing on one issue a student isn't grasping causes more harm than good when it...

...a Christian School, where I taught High School Spanish for 9 years. I have a BRE (Bachelor of Religious Education); ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International); and have been a chaplain of Boy Scouts of America for 4 years.

I enjoy adjusting my teaching style to the student's learning style....

...academic excellence through various means. The most important being the Learning Center (tutoring area), that has allowed me to spread that love to others. I tutored each level of the Japanese program at the university, so I am well equipped in understanding the needs of university level Japanese courses. Outside of school my love of travel has taken me to places like Japan and Korea. In fact I was given the opportunity to study at...

...individual's goals, capabilities, and determination. Understanding success as the final product, therefore, is an absurdity. Let us consider a hypothetical: One of my students takes what she learns from her tutoring sessions over macroeconomics and lands a six figure job as a Market Research Analyst for Corporation X. She praises herself for the tremendous success and accepts the position. Over the next few months, she slacks off and the CEO fires her. This will happen...

...enjoy the process. Since I've studied Spanish as a foreign language, I understand exactly what students are going through. I always try to apply what worked for me in an attempt to help the students grasp difficult topics; however, I understand the importance of providing individual attention, as I know that every learner has a different way of picking up certain topics. I am dedicated to helping students succeed and I strive to help them...

...We performed awesome chemistry demonstrations for a variety of audiences, from elementary school kids to the general public. While we enjoyed using silly skits to engage with the audience, our primary goal was always to foster enthusiasm toward science. This gave me unexpected training in how to tailor an explanation to the audience receiving the information, while also keeping their attention and helping them have fun (okay, okay... the fiery explosions might've helped a bit)....

...instruction to three different students that were out of school for extended periods of time due to injuries or illnesses in the areas of Spanish 1, Spanish 2, and Spanish 4. While all of the tutoring that I have done has been in Spanish, history is perhaps my favorite subject to tutor because it is the field that I have received most of my education in and it is also the subject that I did...

My name is Sandra Lugo, I worked at the university for 26 years where for my first 18 years I taught Calculus I and II, along with Static, Dynamic and Materials for Construction. I think my experience and my passion for teaching are my best introduction.

...business, and math), others remind the world of the importance of the human spirit and the dignity of the human person (e.g. literature, philosophy, history). In fact, I firmly believe that each subject plays its necessary part in the world. Lastly, my philosophy is strongly centered in the belief that truth can be sought and found wherever it may be. Education is for a reason and the things learned are to serve to find the...

Writing this right now, I'm excited at the prospect of who I might get the chance to work with, and what problems we might solve together.
