If it can be fun, make it fun. If not, make it short.

My motto is if at all possible, I want to make learning fun. When that's impossible, let's get it over with quickly, so we can get back to the fun part. I'm a lifelong learner, so I practice what I preach.
Throughout my teaching and tutoring career, I have often found that I can help my students achieve beyond what was expected of them. At the end of this process, my biggest joy is to see my student successfully working on the tasks without my assistance. I've taught in public school and private school from PreK through 12th grade and even adult learners. Elementary students have learned to read. A high school senior learned to do basic math for the first time in his life. Homeschooling my own children was another such amazing time in my growth as an educator. I love sharing my knowledge, or even learning together with my students. One such case was when I coached a parent thro ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing : Qualified in this subject by WyzAnt. Also, I was the Editor-in- Chief of the monthly bulletin published by the Associated Public Safety Communications Officers which was headquartered in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I also acted in this capacity for a cultural magazine called "Flair" for a two year period while residing in Vienna, Austria. For each of these publications I wrote original articles, solicited and proofread the submissions of free lance authors and worked in close coordination with professional writers.

In my teaching, I make every effort to engage the attention of my students. While covering the subject at hand, I bring into my lessons references to a spectrum of other subjects when relevant such as historical context, cultural elements, literary allusions, modern and historical implications and facts and trivia relating to the subject which I believe will not only be of interest to the student but will also provide a more rounded appreciation of the benefits of a wide ranging education.
For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly reputed language school in Vienna ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my undergraduate, I had multiple field studies in middle and high school classes. I also had to tutor elementary students through my college for certain reading classes. During my last semester, I filled a permanent substitute position for 7th grade intensive reading. In the 2022-2023 school year, I taught STEM language arts for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.
My teaching style focuses on modeled and guided discussions so that students can talk through their understanding so I can remediate and reteach to ensure that they are learning and they find confidence in their learning.

To Help Your Child Succeed At Advancing In English Studies

I was an elementary education major for 2.5 years before following my specific passion to writing and literature in my Junior year to finish up school.

Hands-on. We all learn more when we experience new things, and get to try them ourselves. Children are more engaged when there is something for the them to do to interact with the materials provided.

I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students. I have also helped prepare adult students for the TABE, GED, and similar tests.
I prefer to teach in a hands on fashion, but the most important aspect of my style is to adjust my methods to meet the needs of the student. I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.

As I graduated from college with my California State Teaching Credential,I was able to teach 2nd grade for the Los Angeles City School District for three years. During that time I sought to gain as much experience and expertise as possible to prepare me for teaching in a school for missionary children overseas. I studied Spanish intensively for a year in Mexico preparing me to work in Santiago, Chile where I taught first and second grade for almost 40 years. I am fluent in Spanish and have taught English as as second language.
I have enjoyed very much working with children and I know that every student has his own learning style and my teaching must be adapted to them. I am patient, even with children who do not speak fluent English and I seek to encourage them to seek success. I believe a phonics approach to reading can help children learn to read quickly and confidently. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching children and helping them accomplish their goals. I believe that learning should be fun. I try to motivate each child by focusing on their strengths. I encourage each child to try their best. I believe that each child has the potential to do well in school and I feel that it is my job to help them succeed. I have helped several of my students improve their math and reading grades, dramatically! One of my students was failing math and he received a B on his last report card! The other student went from a fourth grade reading level to a seventh grade reading level in less than three months. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the children's faces when they get a good report card and it makes my job worthwhile.

I have tutored since I was in 8th grade. I love helping out and eventually I would love to be a tutor full time. Teaching other children on how to do different subjects makes me feel very happy that I am able to help them become successful in a subject that is very hard for them. I am willing to take all the time in the world for the student to make sure that they fully understand the topic that we are discussing.

Energetic, enthusiastic tutor with an unyielding commitment.

As an education professional with more than twelve years of experience working with children, I am eager to return to the workforce. With my unique and extensive experience in providing solid education, implementing and planning lessons, and leading an assortment of other academic-based projects, I feel excited and more than prepared for the challenges and opportunities that come with this role.
I try to serve as a facilitator of learning, providing students with the knowledge and tools to solve problems and then encouraging students to solve them on their own. When students answer a problem incorrectly, I do not allow them to quit. I try to encourage them to figure out where they went wrong and to keep working at the problem until they get the correct answer, providing support and guidance where needed
