Drama Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Bourbon, MO

Teaching is in my blood. Nothing thrills me more than the light I see in a student’s eyes as he or she understands a concept for the first time. I enjoy teaching in a small group setting or one on one. I like to set goals and learning objectives based on the individual student’s needs and learning style. I am flexible and patient as I teach. I like to challenge my students to do their best without pressuring them beyond their capabilities. I enjoy investing in the lives of others through teaching. Majoring in communications in college exposed me to a variety of literature. I took classes in English, script writing, and literature. I also learned about vocal production and public speaking. As I earned a Master of Arts in the dramatic performance field, I taught freshman students a basic speech course for two years. After graduation, I continued onto college faculty and taught for two mo

I have been a full time classroom teacher for 13 years. I teach all subject areas. I have experience teaching grade levels K-12, primarily at the middle school and high school levels. I have extensive experience teaching special education students. I would describe my teaching style as one of mutual respect, encouragement and consistency. I encourage my students to use their strengths and build on current knowledge to grow as students and as people.

I have worked in both the public and private school settings and have 20 years teaching experience. I enjoy the most the opportunity to work with a child individually because that direct time and attention often makes it easier to assess areas of weakness and how best to adapt instruction to the learner's needs and learning style. One of my most cherished teaching positions was at the Arkansas School for Mathematics and Sciences, a residential high school for gifted junior and seniors. In that environment we were able to do so great learning activities that embedded student performance based learning so that students had opportunities to showcase their learning and language acquisition. Some students remember best what they see, some what they hear, but nearly all will best recall material that they see hear say and do something with. My teaching style is one that tries to incorporat

Mentors and educators played significant roles in my development. I want to be that person for my students and help them discover and actualize their full potential. I believe in focusing on students' strengths and energizing their confidence. Using prior knowledge as a foundation, I will help students apply what they do know to what they need to learn. I also will develop learning strategies effectively geared to how the individual student learns. I obtained teaching certification for 9-12 English in 2010 and completed my student teaching at ACE Learning Center, an alternative school within St. Louis Public Schools; I also taught at this center during the summer. I have subsitute taught within the Pattonville School District. I currently tutor in the Adult Education and Literacy program at St. Louis Community College at Meramec. I am eager to get started and help students discove

Working at the Nashville Transition Center, essentially a half-way house for children aged 12-18 with criminal and/or troubled backgrounds, my senior year of college changed my outlook on tutoring tremendously because it opened my eyes to the challenges many face. Having been born with Muscular Dystrophy, I'm certainly no stranger to challenges, however I had never seen individuals who were never really given a fair shot to succeed in my eyes. Once I realized that I could be the one to help these children reach their goals, it immediately changed my perception. I've always been very easy-going and empathetic and I feel that these are my two greatest strengths as a tutor. Using these strengths along with my sense of humor I attempt to form a connection with my students. It’s only through a genuine connection between student and tutor that one can get students to believe in themselves
