Spelling Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ewell, MD

My teaching style is best described as modern Socratic method. Questioning to elicit critical thinking is the essence of education. Many of my students have thanked me in later years for teaching the principles of clarity, simplicity, brevity and humanity in writing, as those principles haave led to job promotions and advanced degrees. As a college English professor and high school English teacher with an MA in English, I have had the opportunity to help many young people improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I have also tutored students from middle school to college level English on many occasions. I can help students at all skill levels become better writers and thinkers.

I have been called a "Spelling Nazi." Is this an insult or a compliment? I love that I can spell most any word, but I don't like being called a nazi! I work well with students of all ages. My current position is as a Museum Consultant. My last employment was Executive Director at a dynamic regional museum specializing in local culture including heritage and arts, where institutional growth and community involvement were priorities. I was responsible for all aspects of museum function including museum planning; budget development; administration and management; educational programming; exhibit development; publications; hiring, training and management of museum staff; fundraising management; grants procurement and administration; overseeing the collections management program; and implementation of Board approved plans and budget. I was also responsible for exhibit design, development and

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspir

As a person who works with various groups of people, I continuously find helping others reach their full potential exciting and rewarding. My highest degree is a Ph.D. in Educational Administration with a specialization in Pre-K through 12th grade; however, I have provided adult instruction at the college level and through workshops for over 8 years as well. If you need to get started right away and want results, then I am the right person. I use effective practices, strategies, and resources to inspire and enrich each student's learning. Direct instruction, workbooks, visual aids, computers, math manipulative, hands-on activities, mini-labs, student-centered discussions, one-on-one tutoring and small-group instruction are used to honor various learning styles, students' needs and goals, as well as to ensure they are active learners.

As a graduate I have done tutoring to enhance my credibility to teach possibly in the future with my major in criminal justice. I'm currently enrolled for my Masters in criminal justice and criminology, and I plan to futher my education to teach within that field. During the last past 3 summers I have tutored young children as well as been a mentor to their studies. I enjoy working in this field of study, and plan to continue to do so. As stated above I enjoy working with children of all ages, I have made a difference in their lives as well as them making a difference in my life. I love the many challenges that teaching brings, and believe its a very good experience to discover. I like to use my learning structure to assist in tutoring and making a difference in children to better their education and future.

Students of all ages are welcomed in my world...from beginners to the senior citizen who wants to learn more. I strive to make the learning fun and exciting by finding what works for the student as an individual. They are not all alike and because of this, I find that "cookie cutter" style teaching doesn't work. If something doesn't work one way, I try to find another way to achieve the same goal. Rather than my playing a new piece for the student, I ask that the student TRY it themselves first....breaking it down into small pieces so that it doesn't overwhelm them at first run through. For the student who thinks they CAN'T, I tell them, "can't lives on WON'T street." Helping the student discover that they CAN is my concept of teaching. As an older student returning to complete my degree, I was driven to achieve my goal. I worked while completing my education and this gave me a better

I am presently working as a high school instructional assistant and have been since 2008. For the past two summers, I have also had the opportunity to work for the summer school program, assisting students in the algebra classroom. I had my first full year teaching experience as a seventh grade special education teacher, during the 2007-2008 school year. So far, I have accumulated 15 credits in the Reading Specialist Masters Program, and am working towards certification. My highest level of completion is a BS degree in Secondary Special Ed. Aside from working in schools, I've acted as a mentor for high schoolers in an Upward Bound summer program, as well as tutored members of my church for ten years now, off and on. All students, regardless of race, gender, learning disability, socioeconomic status, and cultural group, are capable of learning, especially if they have a good teacher. As a

Recognizing that each person has his/her own learning style, I emphasize "application" of material learned. I do this primarily by providing examples of information taught and require my students to do the same. My approach to teaching is to create a friendly environment with positive expectations to enhance the learning experience. Having been devoted to the welfare of children and families and valuing education highly throughout my life, I find tutoring a satisfying occupation. After vounteering my services for many years, I attained formal degrees in education, psychology, and counseling, with very high GPAs. I taught psychology and sociology for several years and have also tutored K-college individually and in groups for many years.

While at Salisbury University, I studied Environmental Issues and firmly believe in the theory I learned that education in the beginning for everything. I have always loved learning, and as a result, I also pursued a minor in Chemistry, for the sheer love of science. Immediately after college, I spent the summer teaching riding lessons at a camp in Colorado. In the evenings, I took off my cowboy boots and spent my time acting as co-counselor in a cabin full of elementary to middle school aged girls, depending on the session. Since returning from Colorado, I have spent my time as a substitute teacher. I have taught students in Pre-K, all the way up to 12th grade. During my time teaching, I have been selected for two long-term positions. I’ve always enjoyed teaching others, whether I was a kid tacking up my pony and giving informal riding lessons or leading fellow undergrad students thro

I have always seeked employment with organizations that support programs to help others, especially underserved population groups. My federal, academic, and business careers have all supported this ideal. My years of experience in the US Public Health Service included many years directing a field management training Branch and Division; in academia -- teaching, lecturing, and directing a large program that designed and delivered continuing education programs; and consulting -- planning and delivering education programs for numerous types of non-profit organizations. I have always had high ratings as a graduate school teacher and lecturer. I am considered a mentor of others and have enjoyed my role as a helpmate to students of all ages.

I did my field experience teaching in Elementary and Middle schools. I have a bachelor degree in English Linguistics and a minor in teaching English as a second language. I have a very good knowledge of grammar and writing compostions and research papers. I have volunteered at various local ESL organizations. I taught Writing and Cultural orientation at the Intensive English Center in Saint Cloud State University for two semester. I love to teach reading and writing. I take the role of an expert as well as a facilitator while I'm teaching. I try to maintain status as an expert among students by displaying detailed knowledge and by challenging students to enhance their competence. I also emphasize the personal nature of teacher-student interactions. I guide and direct students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make

While completing my masters in Special Education, I have learned creative ways to help children with special needs that I work with. I have designed and coordinated a Resource Center to help students with special needs learn and achieve at their level. I have also designed and implemented a school for children with special needs. I believe that every child has a right to learn. I believe that, no matter what kind of problem or learning disability that student has, that he/she deserves to learn. It is the responsibility, not only of the teacher, but the parents, grandparents, siblings and community to help children receive the best education that they can. I believe that all children learn differently. Some learn through doing; some through listening; others are a combination. I teach to each child in the way that best helps them to learn.

Along with their family members and educators, my goal would be to become their advocate in helping them to achieve their potential via one-on-one/small group reinforcement and instill confidence in their abilities. I would take them through the steps necessary to be comfortable with their tasks at hand. With this particular position being at various age-levels this would lend me the privilege of helping them to fortify their academic skills. I would assist them in setting goals, offer them insight on how to strengthen their weak areas and provide the tools with which realize these goals. I have much patience, and my teaching style is presented in a way that keeps frustrations down (which is counter-productive). With my B.A. in Sociology, I have had many opportunities to fine-tune my abilities in writing. Having years experience working with our community’s children (in excess of se
