Affordable tutoring with an experienced college graduate.

I believe in guiding the student to the correct answer. It is important to me that the student be able to work the question or problem out so that they might do the same in a classroom setting.
I have worked at an academic library for the past 8 years. I scored a 29 on my reading ACT and have tutored elementary reading to children during four years of high school.

My comments on tutoring Basic Learning Skills : I teach students various reading comprehension strategies such as summarizing, imaging, concept mapping, and numerous repair strategies. I also teach the students to use both text features and concept maps for science and social studies.

I am very active in the classroom and I believe in making learning fun and enjoyable. There are so many ways to help children learn, yet many of them are not used for one reason or another. If information must be memorized, I like to put it to song or a rap. Other methods of learning that are very useful are concept maps, discussions, and performing. Another very successful method that I've employed is having the student actually teach me rather than me teach the student. It is VERY effective.

Patience and listening are the two most valuable parts of my teaching style. No one learns well in a hostile or rushed environment. I believe that the potential is there for all to learn even the most difficult subject matter and it is truly a joy to see the light of understanding shine through a student's eyes. I believe that my education and experience in the disciplines I hope to tutor are just the keys needed to unlock a student's true potential so that they may truly become whatever they want to become in life.

Teaching children has been a life long passion. I taught elementary school for 30 yrs in grades one through four, title one reading specialist and a tutor. I have tutored students in reading,math,and writing skills.
I want to make a difference in a child's life. To help them understand and know the subject matter they are not understanding.I use many techniques to help a child learn. First learning should be fun, which I try to create for the child. I present the subject in a creative way to help the student be motivated and engaging. I help my students to believe in themselves that "yes they can do it". Love,kindness,patience and respect is my motto in working with all children.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to learn, which is why I love teaching children. Every child learns differently, because of this, teaching is a learning process as well! I believe that students learn best through hands on activities that allow them to internalize the concepts they are struggling with. Whether it is using math manipulatives to understand multiplication and division or using letter tiles to understand consonant blends in reading, hands on activities are the best way to learn.
As an education major at Berea College, I volunteered my services as a tutor three nights a week in addition to my student teaching and education courses. I was also a Pre-Kindergarten teacher during the summer terms while I was in college. I am certified to teach all subjects grades K-5. I have my masters degree in Reading and Literacy Instruction. I currently teach Pre-Kindegarten in Lexington.

First, I evaluate the student's comprehension of the subject at issue and how the student achieved his/her conclusion, which gives me an insight as to how to approach teaching the student. The student should be taught in simple terms and provided with the necessary tools to tackle and truly understand the subject. In addition, I feel that it is very important to make the student at ease with asking questions, especially questions they aren't comfortable with asking in class, along with the ability to ensure the student is grasping the information.
While in law school I mentored and tutored first year law students along with students at a neighboring high school. I guided first year law students as to which supplemental books to buy, how to decipher a court's ruling and how to respond to a professor's question. I tutored the high school students in Algebra and Literature, all of whi ... read more
