My comments on tutoring Shakespeare : Took Shakespeare in college and have studied some of his writing over the years. Have not formally taught Shakespeare, but have explored a couple of his sonnets in my class.

I have been a special education teacher in the Apache Junction Unified School District since August 2008 where I began as an inclusion teacher at Thunder Mountain Middle School as an emergency certified special education teacher. In order to maintain my job, I got my master's degree in Cross-Categorical Special Education. I have taught in a self-contained classroom, a resource language arts classroom as well as a co-teacher in Language Arts and Science. I have written many Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and have made sure that students in special education receive the services specified in the IEP. Currently I am a district representative in AJUSD and continue to carry out duties involving student services in special education. As a language arts teacher, I have taught composition, creative writing, reading comprehension of both literary and informational texts, poetry to include ... read more

College student looking to pursue growth in you and herself

My teaching style all depends on the subject and the student. Everyone learns differently. Unfortunately, the public school system seems to disagree with that. I begin by assessing the type of learner you are and from there I pick my teaching style.
I have experience in and outside of the classroom in all of the fields I listed. From a 4.0 G.P.A to sales office growth I have learned a lot and am eager to share my experience in order to help others. English is and will always be my favorite subject. I have done speech writing and presenting to essay competitions. God blessed me with a way with words and I have used it to excel in many areas of my life.

My comments on tutoring Shakespeare : Shakespeare's written expressions, poetry, and drama uses eloquent words, old English terms, and very puzzling words that needs analysis of his message. Students enjoy Shakespeare's works once they acquired the skills in interpreting his message. some of his stories, poems , and drama are focused on horrible thoughts and justice such as "The Raven", "The Death of a Salesman", and "The Merchant of Venice".

I started teaching right after my college graduation from Philippine Normal University. I taught ESL (English as A Second Language in public schools from 1968 - 1985. From 1985 - 1991 I taught at the United States Refugee Program. On October 1991 I was sent by the US Refugee Program to University of Omaha, Nebraska as a guest lecturer on ESL. Then I worked as a tutor in English Business for foreign professionals in Connecticut from December 1991 - 1995. When I toured my professional students in Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, I was hired there (1995 - 2003 June 1968 - July 1985 : ESL (English as A Second Language) teacher in San Pablo City, Laguna, Philippines August 1985 - October 1991: ESL teacher, United States Refugee Program December 1991 - June 1995: ESL Tutor to foreign professionals in Trumbull, Connecticut July 1995 - 2003: Part time ESL i ... read more

Teach students how to think, not what to think.

I am currently enrolled at Northern Arizona University. I have completed three years of undergraduate study in history secondary education, have spent seventy hours working and assisting in classrooms, and earned a minor in Spanish. In summary, I am a history buff who happens to be fluent in Spanish.
My teaching style is Socratic. Inquiry and discussion are my primary tools. I also teach history as an argument about the past for the students to develop rather than a set of facts and dates to be memorized. I try to teach without assigning homework.

More About This Tutor...

I would describe my teaching style as straight-forward, but constructive and rewarding. I believe patience is important and that small successes lead to larger ones. I understand that each student has different needs and learning styles vary, therefore I work to tailor my methods to the individual student while keeping the information plain to reduce confusion. I believe that teaching is about supporting students to reach their full potential and enrich their lives.
I began tutoring in elementary school. I tutored students in grades below mine in reading, spelling, grammar, math, and science. I continued tutoring fellow students in high school, as well as teaching children as a church volunteer. After studying the administration of justice and evidence technology at Phoenix College, I finished my BS at University of Phoenix. While earning my degree, I used the knowlege and s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I strongly believe every student is capable of learning. My experience in the classroom has taught me to respect every student and hold each one to incredibly high expectations. I am relaxed, patient, and always looking for ways to foster conceptual understanding of the material, rather than rote memorization. I believe inspiring and encouraging students is a teacher's most important job.
As a high school chemistry teacher, I am passionate about making science fun and understandable. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in secondary education from Arizona State University. I earned a bachelor's degree in journalism while completing the pre-medicine track at the University of Arizona. My work as a science journalist and my science background make me particularly well-equipped to tutor students in chemistry, biology, and English.

A Little Bit About Me...

With writing skills, I prefer small groups. This makes it more productive for the learners. I teach with many visual examples and I involve the students in the learning process by helping them to realize their own weaknesses. I believe that students do not know what they are doing wrong unless I shows them along the way. Constructive criticism is integral to the process. I believe that quality trumps quantity. It is better for a student to fully understand the idea even if it means covering less material. One well-written paper is better than five papers that have the same mistakes in them. Studying one Shakespearean play in detail is better than glossing over five in order to say that I covered many plays with the students.
Prior to full-time teaching, I subbed in Kyrene and Chandler. This helped me to get an edge with different age levels. Then I taught eighth grade English i ... read more

I am currently certified in the state of Arizona in the following subjects: English, Latin and general sciences. I teach two courses of Latin at Glendale Community College, Glendale, Arizona. One class is in the classroom and the other is on the Internet. I also am a substitute teacher in Peoria, Arizona.
My teaching style is quite organized, but also empathetic. I allow for students to use their various aptitudes and abilities to learn. For example, when a student normally presents a report to the class, that student reads from his notes. I had one student who was musically inclined and played her guitar to make her presentation. She used her musical skills quite effectively.

I love children and enjoy seeing their faces light up when something "clicks". I believe in being both consistent and flexible because all children want to know that your are going to be there for them and no child learns the same way. I am extremely comfortable around children of all age groups and especially like teaching children with special needs. My patience and fun loving attitude have served me well as a Substitute Teacher and I believe in my heart that I have made a difference in the lives of the kids I have had the priviledge of teaching. Each one, Teach one.
I find it very rewarding to be a part of a childs education. I have an enormous amount of patience and a desire to see individuals do well and help them reach their goals and exceed their expectations.

As a life long athlete, I understand the importance of a team. Parents, tutors, and children must work together to succeed. I also realize the importance of strategy; each team has a different method to achieve their goal. Be it verbal, visual, audial, physical, there are multitudes of different ways to have success inside and outside of the classroom. My personal success would be to teach the children HOW to study through tutoring, a strategy they could take with them throughout their academic and professional careers.
Besides family, faith, and good health, there is nothing I value more than my education. As a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, I have earned a bachelor degree in Science-Business. This new field incorporates the work of a Biology major with the fundamental requirements of a Business major. I am now in the process of applying to dental school, thus have exte ... read more

I value personal discovery: the journey is as important as the destination. In a teaching or tutoring session, I ask as many questions as I answer. Unlike Socrates, I do not ask questions to lead students to a particular answer. Instead, I ask questions to lead my students to answers I don't always know--until we get there, together. A poem, a novel, a historical event--even a math problem: these are just the tools a good teacher--and tutor--uses to get his or her students to think critically. In a world where future careers are uncertain, or haven't yet been imagined, the ability to think critically is the strongest weapon with which we can arm our children.
In fall 1993, I began my teaching experience in the undergraduate education program at Arizona State University. Upon graduation, I sought and obtained a job as a middle-school teacher. After two years, I moved on to the high ... read more
