Middle School Literature Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Elmendorf, TX

I enjoy deconstructing the building blocks of various kinds of literature (i.e. how it's structured and written). Whether is it an assigned class reading, an assigned home reading, or one I suggest, I can help the individual look at literature in a more healthily critical way. After understanding the individual's goals, I can construct an approach to help them reach them! If you have any questions, please, ask! My approach is one that is peculiar to each of my students. As an auto-didactic learner, I believe that everyone has their own way of learning. Therefore, I use an approach that I feel works well for each of my students, with regard to whether a student thinks abstractly or concretely, for example. With so many possible goals, it is important to be flexible to work with each student's learning style. I present concepts with the idea that experience is the key to learning. I str

For students who tend to be more tactile, I might have them handle apples if a math problem references apples. If a student is working on a writing assignment, I will offer suggestions (such as marking spelling/grammar/punction mistakes) and help them learn how to correct the errors so they won't continue to make the same errors in the future.

Skillful. I am a very experienced teacher of English as a Second Language (ESL). I served for three years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Afghanistan and the Fiji Islands. I also taught ESL in Japan, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. I have also taught ESL for many years here in the USA to both adults and children. I have experience with many foreign cultures. I like a conversational, relaxed style in which the students are encouraged to speak English as much as possible. I often have students repeating useful, whole sentences and phrases.Mistakes are okay! Humor is okay! Questions are encouraged.

Tutoring has long been a passion of mine. I find great joy in helping others, particularly children, advance their own knowledge and education. My goal is not simply to have my students learn; I want my students to love learning. I do not want my students to regurgitate facts but to truly understand. I am patient with my students, but I am also persistent in my approach. I never talk down to my students; rather I attempt to bring them up to my level. I am easy-going and have a way of quickly making others at ease with me. I try to make the tutoring environment as stress-free as possible. I believe that encouragement is key in driving students toward success. Once a student believes in himself/herself, learning comes naturally and quickly. From the beginnings of my education, I have had a strong sense of personal excellence in my academic career. Being home schooled with the accelerated A

In my last three years of teaching I was the Inclusion/Resource teacher, however, I also worked with some Life-Skills students, as well as doing some 4th grade co-teaching. I am comfortable in working with at-risk students and understand the importance of having a rapport with them. My first year as a teacher I taught ESL at a catholic high school. I would love to tutor you or your child because I can help you/them grow and become an independent learner. I would like to stress my thanks for your consideration and look forward to hearing from you. I design the lesson to the learning preference of the student. I incorporate technology, visual, tactile and kinesthetic teaching styles. This gives the student the maximum opportunity to learn. If a student is having trouble with reading comprehension there are various skill sets a child learns in order to help with standardized tests.

I was graduated from the St Louis 4-year Liberal Arts high school, St Joseph's Academy, after which I spent many years in Australia. All my tertiary and teacher's credentials are from Australia, which maintains the British-style of tertiary education. My credentials qualified me to be fully employed as a professional secondary school teacher and then as an adult ESL teacher for over 10 years. As a self-employed teacher, I taught in several language schools in Australia and recently conducted classes in Business English and Presentation Skills in Chile to corporate executives and managers. I am of the generation which studied English grammar and spelling, skills much appreciated by ambitious international and native-speaking students. As a professional teacher, I see my role as a facilitating educator, supporting adult students in what they need and want to know and learn. It is the teach

I have a reputation for making often difficult and recondite literature accessible and appealing, while candidly admitting its rigors. My personal educational philosophy holds that one major obstacle to students' intellectual maturation is their attitude toward difficulty, and I do my best to try and convince them that we ought to welcome such difficulty and that, in doing so, we open ourselves up to the possibility of rapid and dramatic advancement in academic work. I began teaching as an Instructor and Dean's Fellow in Rhetoric and Composition and in English literature courses while a graduate student at the University of Iowa, consistently earning student praise in end-of-course evaluations. I bring the depth and breadth of full baccalaureate majors in Greek, Latin and British literature to my teaching and research, and am adept at assisting students who have not benefited from expos

I have a truly divine passion for working with children. I will not stop until I have helped your child discover all of his/her academic talents! We all have strengths and weaknesses, and I am available to build upon your child's strengths, and to also drastically improve his/her weaknesses, resulting in a more confident, eager learner. No challenge will seem too big! I believe that with the right guidance, support, and encouragement each child can become an extraordinary student. I look forward to touching as many lives as I can through education. As a student-athlete from the University of Texas at Austin, I understand what it takes to be a well-disciplined, organized, focused, dedicated student. I hold a bachelor degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, which has allowed me to master a number of areas, including english, math, and science. I have also gained exceptional experi
