Helping our children become Global Learners!

Set Realistic Goals and Rewards Create realistic, individual goals for all of your students. It's nice to have a classroom goal so students feel like they are working together, encouraging one another. However, it's more important to give each student an attainable goal that's personalized for their educational needs, such as completing homework assignments on time or checking over an assignment before they turn it in. Providing students with a personalized, attainable goals makes them feel like they can succeed and doesn't overwhelm them. Discuss with students the rewards for achieving their goals. Start with small increments. For example, two weeks of success is rewarded with lunch in the classroom. After a month, offer a special prize. Collect small objects such as pencils, stickers, glow in the dark rings or other trinkets for prizes. Meeting their goal for six weeks earns them a fr ... read more

At Adult Basic and Literature Education, I serve as a math and grammar tutor in the GED and ESOL programs. Also, I assist the students on how to obtain basic computer techniques so that they can operate the computer. I am able to communicate with Spanish-speaking students and read French. As for my technical, web designing, and software knowledge, I have a background in computer troubleshooting, Adobe Photoshop, HMTL, Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, etcetera. For five years, I was a substitute teacher for grades K-5 in English as a Second Language, Special Education and Art classes. I used my communication skills to converse with and to translate Spanish/English language. I have a great joy in teaching student new skills and information and love to see how they catch on, in other words, have that light bulb moment.

8 years of teaching! Highly Qualified Teacher!!

My teaching style varies from student to student. I believe in group work, I believe in independent work, and I believe that all students should have the opportunity to expand their minds. I allow students to research, explore, and analyze answers on their own while offering them support and encouragement.
After graduating from college with a Bachelor's degree in Middle School Education, I taught for 8 years in a middle school in North Carolina. During this time, I went back to school and received a Master's degree in Special Education. I have taught grades 6th, 7th, and 8th. I love helping students and allowing their minds to fill with knowledge! I believe that every student CAN LEARN!

My linguistic expertise is up for hire!

I have five years' experience as a writing tutor at my university, during which I wrote and presented papers at multiple regional conferences for university writing tutors. I rose to become one of the most respected and requested tutors out of my peers. I many credit hours of pedagogy and teaching methodology classes, both for Teaching ESL and Latin, and a semester of student teaching under my belt.
I employ the Socratic method of asking lots and lots of questions. I see a tutorial as not a time for a student to soak up information, but to engage the mind and use the tools he has already been given. Of course, if a student truly doesn't know something crucial, I will tell him. I always try to make my instruction at least a little bit funny, and to connect the material to the student's interests, because these factors are known to enhance learning.

My comments on tutoring English : As a college graduate with a foreign language degree, my education required a firm understanding of the English language, particularly with regards to grammar and syntax. My educational background also included courses on how to teach a language to prospective students. Through my tutoring, I can help your child with reading comprehension, organizing and writing a coherent research paper, as well as learning the grammatical nuances of English.

Since graduating from The University of Toledo in 2011, I have worked at a local pharmaceutical company as a chemist. I have been tutoring high school and college students in the Cleveland area for more than four years. I have experience with students on the Autism Spectrum, ESL students, students pursuing their graduate degrees and those wanting help with study tips. My sessions revolve around the needs of the student and are tailored for their success. I use technology, creativity and ingenuity to ensure my students not only understand the material but can retain it as well. I am a great tutoring candidate, because my education (two Bachelor's degrees: Medicinal-Biological Chemistry and German) provides me with a solid foundation in many areas such as ACT/SAT prep and general study tools. Because of my career, I have developed a proficiency in the sciences, mathematics and all aspec ... read more
