Spelling is one of my top subjects!

I have an incredible passion for teaching. I am currently in the process of getting my Bachelors in Secondary Education with a focus in English. I have knowledge of the structure and content of the English language and thoroughly enjoy teaching others composition, spelling, creative writing, reading, vocabulary, etc. I do not have much experience yet in a classroom setting but have volunteered at a middle school while getting my Associates degree. I helped a teacher at a middle school to teach students that were having difficulty in various subjects.
I am a hands on teacher, probably because I am a hands on learner. I find it difficult to learn when an instructor is solely lecturing. I believe that constant practice and hands on lessons are the most effective ways of learning.

Your Child's Best Interest.

I have student taught since my senior year in high school as a credit. I have tutored family members and coworkers. I am currently a third year student at Glendale Community College (GCC) and my major is Secondary Education in English. I student taught Senior English last semester and this experience has proved that this is the place that I want to be. I plan on going to ASU in the Fall of 2019 to continue my education.
I want your child to be able to feel comfortable to ask questions. A lot of students are scared to look "less than" in front of their peers if they ask questions. English and Literature are subjects meant to be questioned and not just read. I believe that your child has every capability to learn and my job is to help them turn on the light bulb to help them see that reading and writing aren't as hard as they seem to be.

More About This Tutor...

I earned my BA in PR and Journalism. My course of study required me to be able to write and spell correctly, as well as being able to form grammatically correct sentences. During and after college, I held jobs that required me to write articles, media releases, do research, and serve as a media rep for a large corporation. I taught for two years at Yavapai College as an adjunct instructor. After acquiring an MS, I worked in the human services field that also included much teaching...but in different subjects. I am proud of my students. I spent one year in South Korea, teaching English to students K-12, and one year in China, teaching at a State University.
My superior at Yavapai College who monitored my classes in order to write his evaluation, remarked once that "...you have the patience of an angel." I don't know whether this is entirely correct since I haven't had a personal e ... read more

As an English major and writer/editor with 15 years of experience, I have honed my grammatical, language and communication skills through the written word and verbal expression. With volunteer work at women's shelter's, I read to and helped elementary-age kids learn to read during my time spent with them.
I love being with and teaching children, especially when it comes to reading and books. I find it highly gratifying to see the joy that comes with learning to love to read and the subsequent doors of learning that open as a result. Though kids have different learning styles, I believe that books and the ability to read are a universal passion that transcends all backgrounds and abilities. I strive to make a difference with students that, by teaching them to read (and write?) well, it can open up brand-new worlds for them.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have seen the value of repetition in teaching children (multiplication tables, for example), but I also realize that fresh ideas are necessary in order to keep students interested. I believe that I have the patience necessary to be able to deal with each student according to his attention-span and abilities to comprehend the material. I was reared to be polite and considerate, and I try to instill those qualities in my students. I know how important encouragement is, no matter how small the accomplishment might seem. Because of my age and my own personal schooling, my approach would be considered more "traditional" than modern. I believe in starting with strong "basics" on which the student can build.
My major in college was elementary education, with an "area of concentration" in mathematics. However, my experience in teaching was in all subjects. I first taught grades one throu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Students learn with a variety of learning methods. Some students are more kinetic, while others are more auditory or visual. I think it is important for students to develop self- esteem and see themselves succeeding, and that is what I work on first including staying on task. I have always used Madeline Hunters guidelines for successful lesson plans, which includes using manipulatives to assist students in understanding concepts. My focus is on educational strategies such as rules of phonics, Spalding, a variety of reading and math programs to assist students in remembering what they are learning so that the student can complete their assignments and use in their future education.
My education background began in 1990. That year I earned my AA in education from Scottsdale Community College in the area of education. In 1992 I received my BA from Arizona State University in educ ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have found that there is nothing so rewarding as that moment when a subject 'clicks' for a student. By staying positive and adaptive I believe it is possible to guide students to finding solutions on their own. I work at finding new ways to approach common stumbling blocks and try to show students how applicable math is to everyday life. If it had not been for a few extraordinary teachers, I may not have felt it possible to accomplish what I have. Teachers should be positive and inpirational and I always strive to attain that goal.
I received my B.S. in physics and went on to work at a Community College tutoring math. I enjoyed this work immensely and received excellent reviews from the students. While working at the college I also tutored middle school and high school students privately. In High School I took a class on Society and the Child which involved tutoring english and m ... read more

I am currently teaching in the Dysart USD, Surprise AZ. I am able to direct my energy to exactly achieving the goal of each family for their child. I specialize in all subject areas for grades 1-5. I love teaching.
I am able to tailor my instruction to each individual, understanding that some children have difficulty grasping certain subject matter due to either their individual learning style, or perhaps on circumstances beyond their control.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed tutoring students and seeing them "get" the subjects we are touching on. The look on their face during this moment is priceless. I fully understand that everyone learns things in different ways. While one student may be able to memorize and understand facts one way, say by repetition, another student may learn the information by understanding the background and context that it comes from. I am very patient and flexible with students and realize that if they do not understand the material that it is not their fault, but rather I need to try a different approach with them. A good education is not only valuable in life, but I feel that students gain self confidence when they see their grades improve and they actually understand their class work. This is exactly why I love helping them with their school work.
In high school I was able to tutor students in all subj ... read more

As I am a very auditory/visual learner, I tend to to lean towards both auditory and visual techniques. I question the students as to what he or she intended to say in their writing, what is the intent of the paper--will this persuade the reader, inform the reader, compare/contrast ideas-- and see if the writer is in fact accomplishing this goal through effect word choices, sound reasoning, specific examples, and other components of writing. The hope is to edit the document for clarity geared towards the reader of the document and to polish the writing skills of the student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I set clear, attainable goals with my student. I am patient and sensitive to frustration, should it arise. I believe it is very important for the student to like the teacher, and to feel safe to ask questions, slowly building success upon success. I recognize that students have differing learning styles, therefore I attempt to uncover what works best; ex., some are visual learners versus auditory learners.
I have over 20 years experience in classroom and substitute teaching, both in Canada and in Phoenix. Teaching is my passion. I particularly enjoy working with students in grades K through 4th. However, I have experience teaching 5th and 6th grades, as well. I enjoy working with students of all ethnic backgrounds and those with particular challenges. Over the years, I have given extra help to many students after school. It is a joy to work one-on one.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned a bachelor of science degree in Elementary Education, a Reading and Literacy minor, and an endorsement in Middle School Education. As a teacher my students succeeded in reading literacy/comprehension, and improved their overall writing skills by several grade levels. After a successful teaching experience in Language Arts, theater, and journalism at the middle school level, I sought a master of arts degree in Educational Administration. Working in school leadership enabled me to focus on creating a real-world language arts curriculum, and improving student motivation and achievement.
As an elementary and middle school Language Arts teacher I believe instruction should be tailored to the needs of the individual learner and to the needs of the community. I have had the opportunity to teach in a variety of settings and ability levels. Students confidently excel when ... read more
