English/Language Arts Tutor

While attending Texas Tech University I was employed by the Marsha Sharp Center for Student Athletes as a tutor and worked with athletes in the following subject areas: English, Spanish, Art History, History, and Political Science. I was also a summer school teacher for a non-profit organization called Shalom Readers and led a classroom of children between 6 and 8 years of age. I was responsible for planning Christian based games and learning activities for them as well as providing them with coursework that covered all basic subject areas. I graduated from Texas Tech cum laude with a degree in English and a double minor in Spanish and Electronic Media and Communications. I come from a family of teachers and hope to gain my certification soon. Please contact me if you are need of tutoring!

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is very dependent on learner style. I identify the way the student learns best and go from there. Motivation of struggling students is often dependent on the relationship of the student to the teacher, so it is very important that teachers reach out to care and build trust with the learner. I am flexible, positive, and persistent with all my students and try to have a good sense of humor!
As a veteran Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) teacher, I have assisted hundreds of struggling students learning to read and write. During the past several years my job has been Support Facilitation, helping SLD students in the general education classroom. As a professional teacher, I can work well with all kinds of students.I have worked with all ethnicities and income levels. Teaching SLD students generally involves diagnostic/prescriptive teaching, which is very similar to ... read more

From a very young age I have been a book lover. Throughout high school I ran our school's Book Club, Newspaper, Literary Magazines, and Writing Center (specializing in college essays and middle school tutoring). My acceptance to an Ivy League University fed my hunger for knowledge. As a college student I took 14 courses in the English field, 4 courses over the required amount for the degree. Throughout high school and college I have worked with Prekindergarten through high school students, assisting in writing and reading comprehension. I also pursued education in psychology.
I'm very patient with individuals of all learning styles. I have worked with children with varying degrees of autism. As a tutor in high school I worked with many age groups and aspire to connect with each student to understand their strengths and areas needing improvement. I believe that each child can learn ... read more

While I am a firm and "no-nonsense" teacher, I make every effort to help the student enjoy the material. My goal is for the student to not only learn the needed material but at the same time, discern how the material is meaningful to each of them personally. I believe "connecting and relating" are key to retaining information.
I have a Masters Degree in Education with a broad base of subjects which I have taught. In Language Arts I most often taught Composition and American Literature althought I have experience in related areas such as Poetry, Speech, Creative Writing, and English Literature. In the Social Studies area, I specialized in American History but have also taught Civics, Economics, and Art History as well as Life Skills classes. I am currently preparing to teach a 10 week session at my Church on the History and Traditions of the Methodist Church.

After graduating from the University of South Florida with my degree in special education, I was offered a position with Pasco County Schools. I was a full time teacher at Land o’ Lakes High School for two years. I taught students with learning disabilities in both a self-contained and co-teach environment. My primary subject areas were history, math, and reading. In addition, I have worked as a tutor to help my students pass the High School Competency Exam.
I believe that my teaching style is best described as a demonstrator or personal model. I enjoy explaining the information and then coaching or guiding my students to develop and apply the skills and knowledge. I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using ... read more

I love to teach and work with all children. I find that by teaching them based on their needs is best. I believe that by utilizing all the teaching methods I have learned, I am able to best reach every student. I am extremely patient and creative in my methods.

I enjoy using many different resources and even some games I have created to help students understand and retain the materials they need to build the foundation they are working on academically.

Worked for Lake County Schools as a substitute teacher for a year. Worked in classrooms from K to advanced level high school. I have also homeschooled my son for 5 years. I have experience with students with reading difficulty and tailoring learning to the child. Currently I am working on my masters degree in teaching where many of my classes prepare me to be a reading specialist.

I believe that teaching should be modified to meet an individual student's needs. Everyone learns differently and processes information in their own way. I like the discovery approach to teaching because it solidifies the information in a student's mind and also helps them understand how they learn best. Teaching styles should be adaptable and open to change based on the needs of the student at all times. By focusing on individual personalities and needs, the classroom environment as a whole will function better. I am patient, love to make learning fun, open to change, and always willing to learn myself.
I have taught and tutored reading and English in a variety of schools (rural, suburban, and urban). My Bachelor's of Science in Education degree was awarded by the University of Oklahoma in May 2010. I currently hold my Statement of Status of Eligibility for the Florida Stat ... read more
