Communications Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Drayden, MD

My teaching style is best described as modern Socratic method. Questioning to elicit critical thinking is the essence of education. Many of my students have thanked me in later years for teaching the principles of clarity, simplicity, brevity and humanity in writing, as those principles haave led to job promotions and advanced degrees. As a college English professor and high school English teacher with an MA in English, I have had the opportunity to help many young people improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I have also tutored students from middle school to college level English on many occasions. I can help students at all skill levels become better writers and thinkers.

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspir

Having been devoted to the welfare of children and families and valuing education highly throughout my life, I find tutoring a satisfying occupation. After vounteering my services for many years, I attained formal degrees in education, psychology, and counseling, with very high GPAs. I taught psychology and sociology for several years and have also tutored K-college individually and in groups for many years. Recognizing that each person has his/her own learning style, I emphasize "application" of material learned. I do this primarily by providing examples of information taught and require my students to do the same. My approach to teaching is to create a friendly environment with positive expectations to enhance the learning experience.

I have always had the desire to help people, and have truly embraced any opportunity to work with and help children. While many children learn in various ways, I believe all children have the ability to learn and grasp necessary skills needed to be successful in today's world. My goal is to give back to the community and to be a role model for our youth today. I have been told on many occassions that I have a talent for positively affecting poeple's lives. I believe this is a talent that I need to expose, and put this to good use. Children are our future, and our children need young professionals in thier lives to motivate them and ensure that they have every opportunity to succeed. I vow to do this, and would find it a proviledge to be able to work with these children.

As a science teacher to a group of English language learners, I mastered the art of differential teaching to reach several different levels of learners.

I've taught: reading strategies, literacy development, middle-school science, writing, character building, leadership principals, organization/planning skills, and journalism. My specialty is developing creative strategies to get students to develop a desire to learn.
