Elementary Phonics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Crescent, OR

Over the last nine years I have pushed myself to succeed in academics. In 2010 I graduated with my masters degree in biology. During this time, I gained a strong understanding in many areas of science and math. I have experience writing research papers, laboratory reports, abstracts, grants, and oral and poster presentations. I have mentored students of all ages in science and statistics. In order for students to retain what they learn, I beleive that academics should be interesting and applicable to real life. I also understand that not all students learn alike. Mentoring students in sports and academics has enabled me to adjust to the learning style of the individual. I am compassionate and dedicated to the needs of the student and understand that learning can be frustrating at times. I can help students succeed in academics, offer them encouragement, and jump start their futures.

I am a lover of English - good writing and good grammar never go "out of style." As such, I love to instill a love of reading in those whom I teach. I am a visual learner, but this does not preclude my keen awareness and full acceptance of other modes of learning. I am someone who holds herself to a very high standard of efficiency and accuracy, but I try to convey the need for these in a student by having fun with the subject at hand, be it English, Theater or Business. My proudest day is the one when a student has that "Aha!" moment and grasps the gist of the subject they are attempting to learn, and then finds joy in what they have learned. I graduated with two bachelor degrees(in English Literature and in Theater Arts). I had planned to continue my graduate studies to obtain my Oregon Teacher's Certificate. Due to legislation, there was a radically decreased need for teachers. I deci

I like to build relationships with children. I use a great deal of humor and positive feedback. I work to build a child's self esteem and feel that is essential. I assess each student's academic level and plan accordingly. I assess each student's learning style and plan learning activities around that. I love to use creative experiences with children incorporating imagination and art! I like to make learning fun! I like to target specific skill areas that the child needs help with and celebrate with them when they overcome a learning obstacle! I like to encourage them to THINK! I have taught grades first through sixth in Phoenix, Oregon and in Redmond, Oregon. I taught in two magnet programs, one was with an emphasis on early childhood best practices with a focus on literature, writing, and creative projects. The other was with intermediate grades using Mini Society, a program in

My professional experience includes teaching remedial reading, private tutoring of elementary level students, volunteering as an adult literacy tutor, and teaching English as a second language. I also home schooled my three children, teaching each to read when they could not learn in school. My children are all now in college, the eldest studying for his Master's at Boston University. I believe I can teach anyone of any age to read and write effectively. As a highly intuitive and flexible instructor who recognizes that we all learn in different ways, I adjust my methodology to the individual student. No one approach works for everyone, so I pay attention to what is effective for each person and tailor my instruction to those needs.

Working with students one on one is an ideal situation which allows me to help a child fluorish and learn. I am available to help your child find their most comfortable ways of learning, and to construct an atmosphere where they feel comfortable sharing their difficulties as well as their success. Research has shown that children will rise to our expectations, and I will expect, through our teamwork, that your child will succeed. As a Masters level teacher I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in my teaching methodologies. I have earned a BS in Education and a Master of Arts in Education with a Supervision Endorsement, which enabled me to gain understanding in many areas of sequential learning for elementary children. During my 11 years as a public school educator I took more courses in language, inquiry-based learning, and hands on science strategies.

My teaching style involves a large degree of listening and patience. I strongly believe that each student requires a unique teaching style, tailored to his or her needs, strengths and weaknesses. I am a very patient and understanding young adult who loves working with children of all ages and assisting them in discovering the joy and importance of developing his or her reading and writing skills. Given a stimulating, challenging and rewarding environment, children can gain valuable knowledge that will give them the opportunity to advance and feel confident in their future academic and professional lives. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a primary focus in International Business, a secondary focus in Marketing Management and a Minor in Speech Communication, along with a certification for Economics through Lunds Universitet in Lund, Sweden, where I spent a

I have worked as a tutor since I was sixteen years old, first as a peer tutor, and then in various contexts following my college graduation. I have experience working with learners at varying levels: special education, advanced, learning disabilities, and standard and have worked in classrooms, treatment programs, and wilderness programs. I am particularly comfortable working with students struggling either because of their behavioral issues or learning or developmental disabilities. I have an extensive academic background and attended a liberal arts college, in which I studied all disciplines but especially honed my writing and research skills. I can tutor in several areas, including English, History, Sociology, Psychology, and mathematics and the sciences, depending on the level. I believe that the most important element of teaching and tutoring is the ability to vary one's teaching st

In addition to completing accounting courses for my B.S. in Accounting, I completed two courses in Child Development and Education, and all college level math courses through Calculus. I have tutored students in math since 1989. At Juniper Elementary in Bend, OR, I was a Good News Club teacher and volunteered as a reading specialist working to improve reading skills of struggling students. I also teach music lessons, group and individual. I received teacher training through CEF. With my love for teaching, I have enjoyed the honor of homeschooling my 4 children who test as gifted and talented and exceed in all areas on their testing. As an advanced student in highschool algebra, my teacher chose me to tutor one struggling athlete and one girl trying to raise her B to an A for acceptance to an Ivy League University. In discovering their different learning styles, I was able to teach m

My teaching experience has all been in volunteer roles. I taught Sunday School class and Youth Group at New Hope Church in Bend for grades 5 through 12. I have recently applied for and been accepted as a mentor in the Deschutes County COPY (Central Oregon Partnership for Youth) program, and have gone through a 6-hour mentorship training program as a requirement of the program, in addition to fingerprinting and a criminal background check. My Bachelor of Science degree gave me a strong math background, and I have significant experience in writing technical documents, and proofreading reports. Learning is like a puzzle or a code, and I enjoy the reaction of students when they finally solve the puzzle, or decipher the code. I try to show the student the practical application of the subject, and then make them enjoy their time learning. I love seeing the joy of the "Aha!" moment. I hop

After over 20 years of experience I know that children are different and possess unique qualities and various skills. They learn at different rates, have different interests and sometimes need different approaches to teaching. I know all children can learn and it is a joy to see that learning take place. I have usually used a developmental approach with hands on activities. I have been working with children since obtaining my teaching degree in 1981. My experience has given me the expertise to work with a variety of children, manage a classroom, work well with others and deal with parents effectively. I have worked as a Special Education teacher in an autism program, been a substitute teacher in various elementary schools and a Director/Teacher in four preschool and childcare centers. The positions I have held have given me the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people. During m
