My comments on tutoring Poetry : Have wide experience in poetry and have published a couple of personal poems in small literary presses.

I believe in creating routines to add structure to the learning environment as most of my students progress better in a very structure classroom. I have been noted in my evaluations as making solid connections with most of my students by taking a personal interest in their academic progress. While I do not believe in extrinsic rewards, I will use them to motivate students when necessary. I am organized and pride myself in being able to stick to the lesson plans I have devised.
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 ... read more

Optimistic communicator sharing a love of reading & writing

Communication is key, so I will look for the specific interests that a particular student has and connect with where their strengths reside. From there we can build on these high points and draw them into other areas where their abilities need improvement.
I worked as a tutor while doing respite work for United Cerebral Palsy of Orange County in California. I am proud to say that the young man I worked with the longest is now finishing his BA in justice studies at Cal State Dominguez Hills. I also tutored as a substitute aid for the Ocean View School District in Orange County, California. After earning my BA in journalism from CSUF I have published in a number of print and online media outlets, and I am currently pursuing an MFA in creative writing.

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience as an educator covers the range from grade six up to, an including grade twelve, grade twelve honors, and 'A' and 'O' levels in England. During this time frame, eleven years as a professional educator, I have served as the Head of the English Department at East Catholic High School in Detroit, Michigan, I served on the Diocese of Tucson Curriculum Committee, and I served twice on the A.I.M.S. Committee for Reading and Writing Bias.
An outstanding teacher knows that ‘practice makes perfect’. I drill my students, thus obviating the fact that ‘practice makes perfect’. This rule, however, does not only apply to my classes, it also applies to my instructional techniques. I cut a video for the Student Teacher Monitor at Northern Arizona University that he might demonstrate the animation a teacher needs to be effective. I reviewed the video and found an area that I ne ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been in some type of teaching experience for five years. I have interned at two Junior High Schools and one High school. I have also completed my student teaching in English at a Junior High school. I currently tutor a friend’s sister in English and I have worked with students since I was a Sophomore in High School.
I have a big heart and teach using my heart. I teach towards all learning abilities slowing down when I need to or speeding up the process if need be. I love my students and I work with them as hard as I can to push both of us to success. I am very patient. This past year I worked with students who were behind their fellow classmates and I reached success with almost all of them.

More About This Tutor...

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 school level where I taught until January 2010. In my 13 1/2 years as an educator, I taught traditional, gifted, accelerated, Advanced Placement, and dual enrollment courses. My subject knowledge specialties are in rhetoric, composition, poetry, and American literature. Additionally, I have experience in preparing students for Advanced Placement and college entrance exams.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After receiving a Master's degree in Psychology, I decided to become a teacher because I wanted to help as many people as possible to be the best that they can be! Being an educator for almost 12 years, I feel that I've reached that goal. I have taught for 8 years in the classroom setting (Two of those years in Japan), and for almost four years as a tutor. I've especially enjoyed my years as a tutor because I feel that I'm able to really focus on the child's strengths (in order to make them stronger) and weaknesses (in order to strengthen them). I've had experience in tutoring 1st-grade math to Algebra II, writing, reading, science, history, and Spanish.
I like to make subject-matter fun and interesting for children by bringing their interests into the subject matter. I find that this enables the child to be comfortable and more open to learning. I find that a sense of humor ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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. I have been working as a Substitute Teacher for the past four years and have held quite a few long term assignments at the request of several licensed educators. I am currrently working as a private tutor for two sixth graders who attend an online acedemy and are working on extra credit assignments to elevate their grades for the end of the acedemic year.
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 child ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

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
