My goal is to help my students become better students!!

I have thirty years of teaching experience from kindergarten through twelfth grade. I have taught numerous subjects and have led teachers as well as an Instructional Coach. I have been tutoring since the early 90s. I strive for excellence in everything I do. You can expect someone who will listen to you and help you to achieve your goals. You can expect compassion, knowledge, and the ability to push you to work hard and thrive.

My comments on tutoring Spelling : Reading, Spelling, and Phonics all go together. I have won spelling competitions throughout my schooling. Knowing basic phonics aids in spelling. Also, repetition of reading the word, writing the word, and saying the letters of the word helps in memorizing spelling words.

I prefer a hybrid teaching style. If a standard teaching style was working for the student then they most likely would not need tutoring.
I have taught Early Childhood Education since 2000 to 2002 at Angel Academy Preschool. Later, I worked with children through the Y.M.C.A of Port Huron, Michigan and Lenawee County, Michigan. I helped school age children with homework in the afternoons and during the day taught preschool. While attending junior College I tutored students struggling with math. After graduating college I began substitute teaching in Michigan for elementary school children. I became a mother in 2011 and stayed home with my children for a few years, and then went back to substituting. In 2016, I earned my certification in Missouri and have worked with preschool age and elementary age children for the past 4.5 years.

A Little Bit About Me...

I don't have a deggree in any of my listings. But i can say I have EXPERIENCE. I am a high school student. How I stand out from others is I know what teachers are looking for NOW. Things have obviously changed since others got their degrees. Teaching styles and expectations. I have a 3.0 avg. And my best subject by far is English. I also have spanish listed. I am a native spanish speaker. I grew up with and around the language. Sure you could find someone who was taught the language in the classroom. But why not someone who speaks it on a daily basis. Who can read, write, speak and deeply understand it.
Communication and patience is key. Im not an easily irritated person. I understand the struggles other teens may be going through as so have I before.

Former Student Looking To Pass Along Her Knowledge

My tutoring style depends on the student I am working with. I will not do assignments for the student, but I aim to help them learn the material and increase their education by doing so.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored many people in several subjects over the years and find the work fulfilling. I recently have graduated out of the education system and am well aware of what it takes to succeed. I now have a BA in Political Science and a Juris Doctorate and on the way to earning these degrees I successfully passed some of the worlds most difficult tests on the first attempt. On top of the education, I am able to teach my superior test taking and study strategies to my pupils, no matter what age.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a cum laude graduate with my Masters in Counseling I am very much driven and motivated to help and assist others in their endeavors to achieve and do well. I have had several years of tutoring elementary students in math and reading. I have been effective at it and welcome the opportunity to do it again.

A Little Bit About Me...

Being a current social worker and a former youth care worker, I have been exposed to a variety of different teaching environments. I believe that students are capable of learning when they are properly motivated. Students must feel empowered to learn, and they must also see tangible progress to their learning. I do what I can in making this happen.
In college, in addition to pursuing my English-writing minor, I worked on campus at a facility that assisted students in writing research papers. This position included troubleshooting grammar, dictation, and content of papers. Also, during 2 summer months, I taught creative writing and was a paraprofessional for a school district. I am currently a social worker at an elementary school.

More About This Tutor...

When I had the opportunity to design and teach a Vo-Tech. School program from the ground up, I realized my love and passion for teaching and making a difference in the lives of my students. Being semi-retired with lots of time available, I am living out my passion by substitute teaching middle and high school students in my local school district. With a rich science and english background, I feel I can make a difference by helping those less fortunate academically in many areas.
I have a passion for teaching students of all ages, especially 4th grade and up. My teaching style consists of involving the students as much as possible in the learning process because I am a firm believer that students do learn from one another - especially when one student becomes a mentor or reciprocal teacher for another. Discussions are very important because they allow for free expression of opinions ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During college, I worked as a Teaching Assistant at Duquesne University for 4 years. There I helped to teach the Pharmaceutics Principles Lab to professional Pharmacy Students. Outside of college, I have recently taught math, science and geography to middle school students.
I learn best when I relate the subject to everyday life. Therefore, I enjoy explaining materials in basic terms. I provide links so anyone I teach will remember principles and concepts and to be able to solve problems for themselves.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and assisting others to reach their full potential. I have mainly been involved in tutoring English and Math subjects both formally and informally. Throughout my career as an accountant and even as a student, I have written numerous research papers and reports. I have been able to clearly articulate through writing my research, findings and analysis.
I believe everyone has the potential to be successful. Given the neccessary support and environment, success is within reach of everyone. I believe in creating an interactive, creative and fun environment for learning. This gives the students the motivation to learn and more importantly helps the students to remember difficult concepts.
