My comments on tutoring Spelling : I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, and 5th Grade. I am certified K-6th grade. I also taught advanced and Intermediate math and language arts in a GED/HiSet program. I currently teach ESOL/CIVICS for an Adult School.

My teaching philosophy starts out with essentialism which believes in a strong core curriculum and high academic standards. I believe it is important to have a strong foundation on which to build upon. After ensuring a strong foundation I tend to lean more towards progressivism. I believe students should be taught what is relevant today while becoming more independent learners, by utilizing problem solving skills and critical thinking. I teach the foundation and build upon that based upon what is relevant in a particular field today. I also include student-centered teaching strategies. I believe in order to learn a student must have base knowledge of a subject that leads into hands on assignments which require mastery of a subject. Students must have both of these in order to truly master what they are learning. I also believe that team based learning is essential today. It is i ... read more

I have also coached 4H horse quiz bowl and horse judging teams for several years working with elementary and middle school age children.

While I attended Lee University, I was a teaching assistant for a year for a remedial college English class. I taught my own one-hour grammar labs twice a week, and I worked with students individually as well. I edited their papers and helped them with their grammar. My senior year I volunteered with a hispanic ESL class. I helped tutor the mothers in English. I am currently an online teaching assistant. I help the students with their written assignments, and I provide them with feedback so that they can improve. I love to tutor students in English and grammar. I also love to work with students with reading.
I love teaching and working with all ages. I believe that every child has the opportunity to succeed. All they need is the tools to succeed. If they are persistent and they have the help they need, then they can succeed. I am a patient and considerate person. I bel ... read more

As a mother of three children I know the importance of providing my children with whatever assistance they need to become successful in their academics. I believe strongly in knowing the child's specific learning style so I can approach the student in the appropriate manner. I am very hands on with my teaching approach. I believe in using all of the senses to engage the student in the subject at hand. I have a love for learning and I believe that shines through when I am teaching. Every student can learn given the right circumstance; I truly believe that. I had one great teacher who turned my life around and it is my dream to do the same and inspire someone else.

Since I grew up in a Spanish-speaking culture, and have studied about numerous Hispanic cultures, I feel I would be an | asset to your institution as I am well versed in the Spanish language and its literature. I am familiar with both American and Spanish cultures enabling me to relate to American student, as well as to Spanish students. I have extensive experience in the classroom which coupled with my background and years of education, qualify me to teach Spanish, ESL (English as a Second Language) and Bible courses.
One of the most successful ways that I help students, who take Spanish as an elective, is by developing and presenting comprehensible and stimulating lesson plans that facilitate all learning styles. I research, locate, and incorporate a variety of resources to accommodate students via visual, audio, tactile and kinesthetic methods. In addition, I integrate literatur ... read more

I love children and love teaching anyone to do anything. I enjoy cooking, sewing and gardening and therefore am well able to help your child find academic success in a variety of subjects. I am a firm believer that a student learns by discovering what works for him/her. Every learner has a different learning style and I am prepared to be there for that student and to help them discover the best and most proficient way of accomplishing that learning goal.
The last ten years of my teaching career, I taught Adult Basic Education at Orange Grove Center in Chattanooga, TN, English as a Second Language as well as some GED prep classes for Chattanooga State Techinical Community College. Growing up, English was always my favorite and best subject. I have also been out of our country(S. Korea) teaching English.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of Bryan College with a degree in Music Education, having taken many education classes and completed a semester of student teaching at the elementary and high school level in Rhea County schools. My prior experience in teaching comes from over 5 years of teaching piano lessons to beginning through advanced students from age 4-adult. While at Bryan, I was a tutor for music theory students as well as assisted and edited English and literature papers and essays.
I have a great love of teaching and guiding young people in their academic studies. My approach to teaching or tutoring is open and involves as much personal encouragement as I can. I believe it is essential for the student to have a desire to learn in order for retainable education and it is essential for the teacher/tutor to encourage this desire as much as possible through teaching practices and activities.

More About This Tutor...

As part of my education program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, I was required to complete a full, yearlong internship. I interned from August-October in a 2nd grade classroom and from October-May in a 3rd grade classroom, Monday-Friday. I went from "student teacher" to co-teacher and my mentor and I would divide the day equally on who taught what. Also, as a part of my internship, I completed and presented an Action Research project which focused on writing in 3rd grade.
I have a passion for teaching and working with children. I feel that children are like unpainted canvases and teachers have the ability to help them realize the value of education. Education is priceless and it is something that no one can take away from you. My teaching style includes interactive and hands on methods and it is more of a progressive approach to teaching, as opposed to traditional teachi ... read more
