My comments on tutoring Composition : I taught English for five years.

I believe that the youth are in dire need of adults that have a heart to teach. As a teacher of your child, I want to be able to spend that time as productive as possible. I believe in one on one with a child as the best possible way of learning. In our fast pace world, some students need to have that private time to learn and be influenced through just one adult; that one adult could make all the difference in a child's life. I also believe in the power of words. What we say from our heart can be heard through the spirit of a child. I pledge to choose my words carefully. I will strive to make a difference in your child's education and make it a learning experience that is blessed.
As a parent, I was able to finish my degree in 2003 and return back to college as an adult student. Being a parent as well as a teacher for five years, I saw that the experience of parenting first ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Tutored 2-3 days a week for many elementary school students when I was in high school. Subjects included introductory Spanish, Grammar, Writing, Composition, Writing, Typing skills and techniques, Study skills, and reading. Three years of experience in summer tutoring, helping students prepare for next grade level through workbooks, hands-on activities, and refreshing activities to recall main concepts and skills taught the previous year of school.
I try to get to know what tactics help each student succeed in the best way possible. According to what the student's interests and hobbies are, I create a tutor and study plan specific to them to help them succeed.

My goal is to find the best way for an individual to learn.

I use all my training to match how a person learns.
I have worked with young people tutoring elementary and high school subjects as well as being a public school teacher for over 10 years. I have been a nanny for highly intelligent young people as well as those on the autism spectrum. My most recent success was with a 1st-2nt grader in reading and rebuilding self confidence.

It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their full potential by providing a learning environment that is positive, safe, patient, and comfortable. I will use a variety of activities and teaching techniques, and students will apply a diverse selection of learning strategies to determine his/her own best way of learning. Creating meaningful, personalized, and relevant lessons is essential to learning. Transformative learning is most likely to occur when students become personally engaged with the material and can see how the subject matter is directly relevant to their own lives. I will take full advantage of the opportunity I have as an educator to inspire and empower each of my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I achieved an English degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where my senior thesis was selected as a finalist for the UW Creative Writing prize. I am passionate about the English language, but I think that writing is becoming a lost art. Quality writers are quality communicators. As writing in general falls into disrepair, those who can write clearly and read critically will have an edge in every institution they enter--from the University, all the way to the workplace.
I enjoy hands-on teaching and one-on-one interaction with students. Good writing can simplify the thought process, and leads to students becoming better thinkers and communicators. I am easy-going and patient, but I take language and writing very seriously. There is no excuse for poor or careless writing, and I believe that an easily-taught, simple approach, can unlock the potential of any writer.

While studying for my Masters in Education I realized that in order to be effective as an educator, I must be a lifelong learner. My goal is to pass on this philosophy to all my students. Children and adults find me capable and successful in teaching content. I strive to make my lessons engaging and interesting and pride myself for creating and implementing a safe and friendly learning environment. The key to success is to reduce the stress level for my learners and I find when that is done learning comes easier.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoyed the challenges and rewards of my college education because I was motivated to acheive my personal best. I earned a BA degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Behavior Analysis, and a minor in Animal Behavior. I also chose to take several english and writing courses to supplement my studies and improve my writing skills. I tutored other college students during my junior year, assisting them with papers of various forms and topics. After graduation, I became a certified dog training instructor, assisting and teaching obedience classes for 2 years. I enjoyed this because it combined my love for teaching and animal behavior.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a trained teacher I believe my pedagogy is best placed as one that embraces universal design---or the use of modifcation and curriculum adjustment to make classroom and personal learning available to everyone My teaching style emphasises student responsiblity and construction (discovery) of their own learning. I value the knowledge that a student brings from all walks of life. My students through high expectations and abundant encouragement always reach for their full potential and remain positive in what they do and learn. As a teacher I see myself as a positive force for this. I do not believe in passive learning/teaching styles so engagement with everyone I teach is a critical part of my tutoring and teaching.

I love to teach and help children of all ages (including adults) to further gain knowledge. Understanding is the biggest challenge that we can struggle with in this life. If we can work together to understand what has been found out, we can work together to create a more peaceful mind and world for our future. I am a firm believer that it takes hard work to accomplish goals but it also should include the lightheartedness of life.

While going to college at the UW – Eau Claire, I've been a math and statistics tutor for the past four years. I've also been a Teacher’s Assistant for a statistics Professor where my duties consisted of running review sessions for the class before quizzes and exams along with grading homework and exams. I have completed four statistics courses dealing with different areas of statistics. I also have experience in one-on-one tutoring. Over the past four years I’ve tutored seven students individually meeting at the library to work. Last year, though, I worked with a student who had Cerebral Palsy. I worked with him individually at his own home. I thought it was a great experience and we had a blast working together.

I love teaching students to think and to comprehend their material, not just memorize facts. I want to make sure that they can work and perform independently. I am patient and doggedly work to ascertain that they understand and use varied techniques and technologies to help them do so. I want to be interactive with my students and not just a lecturer, so I invent learning games and other interactive activities to enhance their enjoyment in learning. In the end, I teach them how to teach themselves to learn, and try to make learning a positive experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

From my tutoring experiences last year, my teaching style would best be described as very proactive. Many of the students were extremely frustrated by the concepts that they did not understand. This created an apathetic attitude towards the subject. Due to the lack of interest that I observed, I decided to go through problem by problem with the students. I talked them through each problem, and asked the students questions, but required them to calculate the answer. As we practiced and practiced, the students began to use the techniques that I taught them to calculate the answers on their own.

The wise King Solomon wrote,"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." One of the most crucial parts of teaching children or youth is bringing them to the place where they truly believe they CAN accomplish whatever they set their heart to do. That's 80% of the process. Learning can and should be enjoyable and I've striven to make that a part of my role as a pastor and a teacher. When a student has that moment when they say, "I can really do this!", I feel the satisfaction of having done my job well.
