Basic Learning Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

A person who has strong negative feelings about learning is automatically hindered in any learning environment. I first gain the trust of my students, and then start to build an appreciation for learning in their minds. Once that process has begun, I inject a sense of humor, a sense of patience, and a great deal of love into my teaching. I have been a classroom teacher for over 20 years. I have taught all subjects in elementary school, English, history, and mathematics in middle school, and English composition and literature in high school. Additionally, I have taught mass communication and creative writing in high school. I have taught remedial English, freshman composition, and technical writing on a collegiate level.

I utilize hands-on learning throughout my classes intermixed with other individual techniques designed to suit each child's own learning style. I believe that teachers are in schools to serve the kids and I routinely pursue what is in the best interest of each student I work with. Communication with the adults in my students' lives is very important to me and I keep a constant chain of updates and communication going between myself and the parents at all times. With these tools and strategies I encourage my students to get more out of themselves than they ever thought possible. It is truly a joy to watch children learning. After earning a degree in Elementary Education and Specific Learning Disabilities at Florida Southern College, I continued my education and received my Masters at the University of South Florida as well as my Educational Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership t

I have been teaching elementary students for the past 30 years. Teaching Reading is one of my passions. I'm well versed in Children's Literature, comprehension skills, study skills, and the writing process. I am currently reading to preschoolers through the Buncombe County Library Preschool Outreach Program. I am a hands-on teacher. I think children learn best by "doing." I enjoy being involved in project groups, listening to children's thoughts and ideas, and collaborating with children as we set their goals. It is my philosophy that all children can learn and I can individualize your child's instruction according to his or her learning style. Learning will take place in a positive and enthusiastic environment. I encourage children to recognize what they've accomplished, as well as, which skills still need improvement. I am a patient and compassionate teacher.

Tutor for over 10 years for grades K through 6 in all subjects. I am currently a teacher in a small private school that I founded a year ago. The school serves students in grades kindergarten through second grade. The school was founded with the idea of promoting literacy through the encouragement of world language learning. I currently teach beginning and emergent literacy skills in English, Arabic and Chinese. Prior to this endeavor, I taught in a St. Paul charter school for many years. During that time I served as a kindergarten teacher for 3 years, and an Arabic teacher for grades K-2 for one year. I also helped to design and implement a very successful PreK program in which I served as a teacher for 3 years. I taught first grade for a Minneapolis charter school for one year. Before entering into the world of charter schools, I served as the lead teacher for an academic sup

I have a PhD in Education and graduated school with a 3.8 GPA. I have six years experience in private tutoring for students in elementary, middle and high school. I also have six years experience teaching GED classes in non-profit organizations (e.g. The Salvation Army in South Phoenix, Arizona). Students and parents feel that I am knowledgeable of the subject matter, pay close attention to detail and provide individualized learning experiences. My teaching philosophy is based on individualized learning and high expectations. I also rely a great deal on the opinions of parents and teachers to support the student to reach their full potential. The goal is for students to become independent workers who can critically analyze their assignments and goals and take the lead on excelling.

My experience with approx. 25 different learning challenges (diagnoses) has allowed me to become sensitive to individual students' needs--behaviorally, emotionally, and academically. In the last 20 years of tutorial services and as a contracted para-ed within my local school district, I have gained much from observing students' success and struggles. Their accomplishments have resulted in a personal excitement to continue assisting in their life-changing work. Students have ranged from pre-K to college level/adult; from those learning basic life-skills to others working toward an advanced college degree; and from frequent in-person sessions per week at the student's home to one-time project work at a library site. My experience has developed my versatile, motivational, and sensitive style. Beyond simply "tutoring", my work with students is aimed at long-term cognitive development. Ins

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Psychology and Sociology with sub major in Law. I have worked with children in varying situations, teaching dancing and in the last 6 years have been tutoring for 2 tutoring companies. I have tutored more than 40 students over this period, both in the no child left behind program and giving private tutoring to students. Most of my tutoring has been on a one on one basis, with lessons given in the student's home. I also worked for a time in an Elementary School in the K.12 class for seriously disabled students. I believe this experience gave me extra knowledge and patience to deal with all levels of students. I am a very dedicated and patient teacher who goes the extra mile to make sure that my students enjoy their lessons and are encouraged to work to their best ability.

My students exhibited diversities in learning styles, backgrounds, cultures, and interests. I have taught English to students at many levels, including, standard, honors and advanced placement. Additionally, I was an active club sponsor and peer mediator. It has been and will always be my utmost goal to tailor my teaching methods to best meet the needs of all of my learners in order to ensure the highest level of success for each child. When I began my teaching career, my passion for English propelled me to initiate and nurture the same love of literature and writing in young people. However, although the aforementioned mantra remains in tact, another overarching mission evolved––to devote myself to the betterment of children’s lives using all of the knowledge, experience, skills and devotion that I have to offer. Two of the greatest rewards that I have received thus far in my teaching
