My comments on tutoring Composition : I have a MA in English and I have taught college level composition (English 101 and 102)

I guide the student to his or her understanding of the material. I do not feed information. I ask that the student come to their own conclusions.
I have a BA in English and Creative Writing. I received a MA in English Literature in 2005. I began my teaching career at Calhoun teaching English Composition 101 and 102. I have since been teaching high school (for 8 years) and currently am teaching honors 10 and AP Senior Lit. and Comp. at a local high school. English is my life! ha! I am extremely well read and very well versed. I know what it takes to score well on standardized tests and how to write "A" papers.

Years later I am currently in college to obtain my Bachelors degree in Elementary Studies. I've taken classes in all fields. My specialty is English! I have worked to help students on different levels in their education.

Learn Japanese the Fun way!

I have taught Japanese to business professionals that had little or no background in any foreign language. I can also state that they not only enjoyed the classes but also became confident and able to commmunicate in everyday conversations whether about business or personal life. Some of these people worked for large companies and others were students, or had some other reason or motivation, usually some interest or hobby that is popular in Japan.
Flexible.Student oriented with games, role play, dialogue, reading and speaking.

I have more than 10 years teaching experience. During this time I have taught at universities, public and private schools. The subject taught most often was English language and all its components i.e. reading, writing etc. I have also had four (4) English language workbooks published by Pearson-Longman, one of which has been adopted in some private schools. As principal of Hampton International School I developed curriculum including the creative writing syllabus. As I have taught in many places, all over the world, I have no doubt that I will be able to support you as I am able to create my own materials that will support learning or use material that is provided. My success rate in teaching TOEFL and IELTS is more than 98%.
My teaching style is varied, depending on the learning style of the student. In class with mixed learners I use an eclectic approach. I use topics th ... read more

Phonics and help for dyslexic students

Hands-on, creative, active, using senses to keep children involved, especially those with ADHD. Trained in the Orton-Gillingham method to use explicit, sequential, systematic, and comprehensive phonics, especially for children or adults with dyslexia.
While homeschooling my boys, I invented new ways to teach them to read. These methods turned out to be helpful to many students. I've taught children how to read for about 5 years. I wrote a series of books to give teachers methods to teach phonics in creative ways, published through Creative Teaching Press. I've published mountains of curriculum. Formerly, I was the editor for the weekly education section for the "Denver Post." Now I am especially interested in helping children who have reading problems, particularly those who have or may have dyslexia.

I have a BS in Physics, Magna Cum Laude, and I specialized in astrophysics. As an undergraduate, I tutored mathematics at all levels from beginning algebra to calculus as well as the engineering physics sequence. I was a Teaching Assistant for lower division astronomy and physics labs, providing hands-on instruction as well as giving lectures. As a graduate student I also taught several physics labs tailored to pre-med students. I also have significant vocational experience in molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics.
Since I remember my days as a student, I am very patient with students who’ve never been exposed to certain subjects or materials. I believe you can only move onto more complex areas after you have gained a thorough understanding of the basics. I prefer to use real-world examples to illustrate abstract concepts. In areas like mathematics and physics, I teac ... read more

Completion of a BSBA degree in Management of Information Systems has given me valuable experience in a wide array of business functions as well as a team based and case driven experience over four years. The strongest of my skills are in reading, math, and technology suites such as all Microsoft Office products. I have taught, under minimal supervision by the standard teacher for one year on the fifth grade level. I have tutored ESL, "at-risk," and conflict prone students in english, math, reading, science, and civics. Tutoring was done at the fifth, seventh, eighth, tenth, and twelfth grade levels both in school, after school, and home-based settings. I am also confident in tutoring freshman and sophomore level students in supply chain management, networking, and systems analysis and design with UML modeling.
In many ways, learning can be customized to fit the individual inter ... read more

I think all people are learners whether they are in a classroom or not. As a teacher I like to use hands on interactive methods that put the student at the center of the learning. I am patient and fun while still maintaining a professional decorum with my students. I like to find out why my students want to learn what they are studying and I like to challenge my students to learn because I think that a self-motivated student is the best kind. If students find the will within themselves to learn there is no way to stop them and with my help and guidance I believe they can reach their full potential as learners. Also I love questions! Questions are the seeds of learning.
I have most of my experience working with English language learners. Over the past year I have worked with English language learners that came from varied backgrounds such as, university aged Korean students, a ... read more

My teaching style is center around my philosophy of education. My philosophy of education consist of the beliefs that all students are entitled to a quality education that effectively prepares them for competition in the job markets. Each student deserves an education that teaches critical thinking skills and the importance of the self in relations to the world. Every classroom needs an educator that remains abreast of the ever changing information relevant to school curriculum and policies. Every student is entitled to a learning environment in which they feel safe and respected, a learning environment that encourages academic and social growth while fostering a sustained sense of academic accomplishment within the student

I was born to teach. From 10 years old I would teach my friends during summer vacations or whenever I could get them to play my favorite game, school, (Kids don't play school anymore). I enjoy helping students make the connections. I use a teaching approach that is hands on and generally seeks to find atudents learning style. I know that all children can learn, it is sometimes a matter of how they learn that becomes a barrier. I am very sensitive students need to feel empowered, hence I seek to teach the students skills that eventually lead to not needing me or any other tutor.
I am an individual driven by the desire to learn. I have a Master's in Education with a triple major, certified to teach two of the three. I am currently pursuing a second Master's in Curriculum Instruction and Development with an emphasis in technology based instruction. I have over 15 years of exper ... read more

My experience ranges a great deal and encompasses a lot of subject matter from K-12 Math to English and Literature. My wide range of expertise is indicative of my schooling where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications that exposed me to the Liberal Arts world; while my minor in Industrial and Systems Engineering and Master of Science degree in Information Technology exposed me to more technical subject matter (i.e. various levels of Math). I have had the privilege of tutoring approximately 5 clients in the span of roughly 2 years and each one under my tutelage boasted significant performance improvement in subject areas they found initially challenging.
I love teaching and interacting with willing minds. Teaching "runs in the blood", where my mother is an excellent teacher in the Huntsville City School District, my father was a former teacher and all of my aunts and ... read more
