When I first began language teaching in 2001, I will be honest and confess that I mirrored the teacher-centered approach of the "sage on the stage" that my professors had utilized while I was working towards my BA and MA in Spanish. When I began my doctorate at the University of Minnesota in Leadership for Intercultural and International Education, however, that began to change. My doctoral program was designed around the cohort model, which was new to me. In it, we were all considered experts in our field and we were expected to teach each other. I liked the responsibility placed on my shoulders of presenting a designated topic to my peers and professor. In this student-centered approach to learning, I appreciated that the professor served the role of mediator / observer and the students were responsible not only for their own learning, but for presenting accurate information to their peers. That positive experience motivated me to shift my teacher-centered approach to a student-centered approach in my ESL classroom. While I don't have my students instruct the entire grammar point or vocabulary lesson in front of their peers, I do assign a micro lesson to each student that they must review with the class as if they were the instructor. Currently, I am an adjunct Non-Credit ESL and Spanish professor at Compton Community College. In my role, my primary mission is to help students develop their language proficiency. Professionally, I define myself first and foremost as a teacher, and in order to teach effectivelyi.e., foster student learning by serving as guide, resource, and cheerleaderit is essential that I continue to expand my own professional expertise. However, teaching involves more than just the development of skills and the communication of knowledge, and a liberal arts education seeks to nurture the qualities of mind and character which permit students to realize their full potential as contributors to society, informed citizens, and caring and responsible adults. Part of my own responsibility as an educator is to serve as a role model by committing myself to personal growth as well as to professional development. I believe that the personal and the professional are inextricably interwoven in teaching and that both feed and are fed by the teaching in which I am engaged. Students acquire another language most effectively when they are able to use what they are learning to express something meaningful about topics that are relevant to them. I am a member of the TESOL International Association and also subscribe to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages' (ACTFL) emphasis on proficiency-based instruction that prepares students to carry out global functions such as creating with the language by recombining learned material, asking and answering questions on familiar topics, and narrating and describing in major time frames. Whereas second language pedagogy used to distinguish between the "active" skills of speaking and writing and the "passive" skills of listening and reading, the current terminology of "productive" versus "receptive" recognizes the active nature of all four skills. Nevertheless, such a distinction still masks the productive process that takes place when one decodes and interprets an oral utterance or written text. In structuring my language courses, I strive to create and implement activities that enable students to develop all four language skills, with particular emphasis placed on listening. Listening is often overlooked during the first two years of college instruction, but it is essential for student success and is actually the most used skill in immersion and everyday contexts.

I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I am currently working towards receiving my M.S. in Psychology, Applied Behavior Analysis. I aspire to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst working with individuals to help them achieve desired behavioral goals.I want to take my passion for teaching to those who want to learn and grow to the best version of themselves. This is a safe space that practices cultural humility and individualized learning.I can offer assistance with Elementary English, Elementary Math, Elementary Science, and Elementary Social Studies.I have experience and am able to assist individuals receiving special education services or individuals with learning and developmental disabilities. I specifically have experience with an autism spectrum disorder.

I have been an educator for 16 years. My degrees are in English and Creative Writing, and I am a published poet. I love to read and write, and I bring that excitement to my students. When it comes to being a tutor, I am patient, efficient, and understanding.

This is my first experience tutoring students but I have over four years of intensive exam taking experience at university level. I am familiar with a wide variety of subjects in both the arts and sciences. Much of my expertise originates from taking courses at university. Some of the courses I have taken include accounting and business concepts I and II, biology concepts I and II, various math courses, population geography, genetics, etc. My teaching style is laid back and I think it is easier for students to be able to be as up front as they can with me about what they need and their goals. From there, we can get to work and fine-tune as we go.

I believe all students can learn. My goal as an educator is to create lifelong learners through engaging and rigorous learning experiences.I have been a middle school teacher for 6 years and love my career. I work with students who speak many different languages and are from all over the world.Outside of teaching I have many hobbies. I enjoy cooking, reading and crafting. I also enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband and dog.

I love to teach. Since I was studying to get my bachelor's degree, I have enjoyed my teaching practices on an elementary school. I also enjoy teaching and learning languages, I feel very passionate to share my languages skills with my students. I think that teaching a language make you a better person because you gain cultural knowledge as well as language skills.

Hey everyone ! My name is Charise (car-rees) and I am exciting to embark on this learning journey with you.

I love all things science and math and aspire to be a holistic medicine physician.Fun facts:I speak conversational SpanishI've traveled to 5 countries so farI have a pet rabbitI did track and field in college

Something that has always interested me is that you can find math in all sorts of unexpected places. Math can help us to explain lots of relationships in subjects ranging from chemistry and biology to the humanities and even music! I think it's really important to be able to see these relationships and to understand the mathematics that govern them. If you're ready to nerd out about numbers, I'm ready to be your guide!I hold degrees in mathematics and music from Truman State University and Bowling Green State University.

I have a well-rounded education that includes an AA (with emphasis in Robotics from KCKCC in Kansas City, Kansas), a BLS (in Communication and Visual Arts from BGSU in Bowling Green, Ohio), and an MBA (emphasis in Business Administration from University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas). I have been passionate in helping students achieve a basic learning knowledge on various subject matters (but specifically in the mathematical environment) from Kindergarten age through College age for the last 34+ years. My philosophy of teaching is to listen, problem solve with real world applications, all the while creating a visual understanding.

I am a recent graduate of Bowling Green State University's Creative Writing BFA program with a minor in Classical Civilizations, and am currently pursuing an MFA in Poetry at Cedar Crest College. I am available to tutor students in any level of English/Language Arts/Writing courses. I can assist with academic writing and creative writing, and I am a very passionate word nerd who is excited to help students along their reading and writing journeys!

Hello! I am in my 8th year of teaching high school math. I got my Bachelors degree at Capital University and Masters degree at Bowling Green State University. I have taught Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 3, Algebra 2, and Calculus. I enjoy helping students learn the content and I look forward to working with you.

I am a graduate of Bowling Green State University, having completed a Master of Arts in English Literary & Textual Studies. I have the experience of teaching students with diverse backgrounds. I have taught composition, writing, ESOL, and ESP courses to students ranging from young learners to undergrads. I am committed to fostering a diverse environment where everyone feels included and respected. Although I have experienced the perils of being a multilingual speaker, I try to be intentional in my efforts to uphold student autonomy. These values are not only a part of my assignment sheets and grading rubrics, but they also guide my classroom discussions. A classroom, I believe, is an enabling space where students must feel heard, acknowledged, and valued.
