My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : Targeted strategies explicitly taught to increase reading comprehension and evaluation of text

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : ONLINE, In Home or Library

I truly enjoy working one on one with students. I get to know each student and family so that I can work to meet the individual needs of each student. Then I address those individual needs through personalized lesson plans to teach to the strengths of the whole child. With older students this can also be accomplished ONLINE in selected subjects. I am compassionate, kind, and patient. Especially for the younger students I understand that games and fun activities are important to maintain interest as well as short spans of time on each activity. Even for older students we will move from one activity to another to decrease any boredom.
I hold a permanent license from the state of Ohio for Grades Kindergarten----8. I taught in the classroom for 18 years and was actively involved in the development of individual courses of study at both above and below grade levels. For 10 years I ... read more

Pragmatic application mixed with varying degrees of conversational dynamics.
Language is the primal innate pulse in my personalized autonomy that propels me forward in myriad of ways, it would be inimical and feckless to pursue something else. I read and write every day for 4-6 hours, and I would adore witnessing an astute propagation of passion for anything that concerns language in your student's life. I speak three languages, completed a semester in Paris from January to May 2015, and I play multiple instruments. My sole desire in life is to witness the insurrectional retaliation of the arts in the lives of vehement individuals who believe that the can facilitate redemptive qualities within their craft. I look forward to assisting you.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from high school in 2005 and was 12th in my class. Out of high school, I worked as a pre-school teacher with children ages 1-8 years. I attended Ohio University Athens for Speech Therapy for four years and am now finishing my undergraduate degree online. While in college, I took many child development courses and english courses because I find both to be so much fun to learn about. I also took classes in Math 1, Pre-Algebra, Algebra and statistics. I know work full time as an administrative assistant at a line construction company, so I spend several hours a day typing and working with programs such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Power Point.

Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects!

Columbus Public Schools 1987-1997: During this time period, I taught at the high school, middle school, and elementary level. I then left formal education to stay home with my children. While at home raising my daughters, I did home tutoring from 1989-2006. I then returned to teaching by doing home instruction for Bloom-Carroll (2003-2004)and Fairfield Union (2005). I then did two long-term subbing jobs at Pickerington HS North and Lakeview Junior High School in Pickerington for Intervention Specialists (2006 & 2007). The following school year I was hired by Lancaster Thomas Ewing for a teacher that retired in October to finish out the school year. The following year, I was again hired by Pickerington HS North. I remained there from 2008-2011. In all of my years of teaching, I have taught HS- English 9, World History, American History, Physical Science, Chemistry, Biology B, and Astronom ... read more

As a student, working one on one with mentors played an undeniably significant role in my educational achievements. Now, from the position of having acquired enough skills to instruct and pass on what I've learned to others, my motivation to tutor stems not only from the particular need for tutors, given the increasing sizes of classes and burdens teachers are under, but also the fulfillment that comes from contributing to a process that has benefited me personally. Moreover, my excitement for tutoring also emerges from the advantages the one-on-one context offers for developing the critical thinking skills and tools necessary for both contributing to and challenging what one takes to be reality, common sense, truth, and knowledge.
I started tutoring in high school, where I spent my summers volunteering as a teaching assistant at Breakthrough Summer School (a program I also attende ... read more
