Elementary Study 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 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.

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. 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 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 tutored online and in person for over 10 years. I have edited over one-thousand essays, and have tutored grammar, poetry, and all aspects of writing and rhetoric. I taught tenth-grade English in a High School during the 2004-2006 school years. Additionally, I taught in the private sector at the middle-school level, grades 6-8.

I am very anxious to begin teaching again. The years that I taught were extremely rewarding and fulfilling. 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. . It has been and will always be my utmost goal to tailor my teaching methods to best meet the

I am supportive, understanding, firm, and will go over materials 1000 times until the student understands it. I always treat my students as if they are capable of learning their desired subject, and instilling confidence in them, with encouragement, seems to work wonders.
