History and English: NOT BORING! RELEVANT!!

Motivation. Hard work is made even harder when we don't enjoy the subject; for example, History can easily become boring and impossible to follow for young, energetic minds. When these events are brought to life, however, and made personally relevant to the student as part of our shared past, we may inspire curiosity which is the prime quality of a young scholar. Grammar and literature can also be tiresome and difficult, but their relevance is much easier to validate as reading and writing will always be crucial skills for our future leaders.
As a recent graduate of the University of Oregon History Department, I have spent the last two years working with peers to enhance their ability to research, comprehend, and explain historical events through writing. This experience includes courses in Grammar and Literature as well as History of both the U.S. and the world. With a string ... read more

Licensed Teacher. Highly qualified K-8.

My experience has taken me across grade levels as well as across the world. In college, I studied educational methods, theories and philosophies as well as human development. During this time, I participated in classroom practicums (aiding with individual/ small group instruction) and then eventually student taught full-time for 1st and 5th grade. Over the summers, I worked abroad in Germany and Italy with children on military bases for a program called Camp Adventure Youth Services. I provided educational and recreational services for children and youth from ages 5-11. During the academic years, I worked at after school programs helping with homework for the Boys and Girls Club based in Corvallis. While earning my Master's in Scotland, I worked for a similar program at a private school called George Heriot's with children and youth from ages 5-11. Once, I returned back to Eugene, I earn ... read more

Skilled teacher and writer dedicated to your success

I taught high school English, journalism and speech for more than 30 years before retiring in 2013. I also taught a year in middle school, a year in community college and worked in administrative positions at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. I have worked with students at all levels, from remedial to advanced placement and worked in an alternative high school setting. I have received training in the scoring of advanced placement literature exams and am a published writer. I also have taught SAT prep classes.
I like to get to know my students and build a strong relationship with each one. I work to connect the subject matter to their lives and to the real world. I set high standards, but understand that each student will work toward those standards at his or her own pace and in his or her own style.

I take the time to assess each students learning style and tailor the material to their individuality. This makes learning fun and memorable. I am patient, easy-going, and able to quickly adjust to changing moods of students. Hands-on learning is my favorite way to teach.
As a student of the College of Science, I excel both at detail in quantifiable information , and the ability to translate professional speak into everyday language. I excel in English, Science, and Psychology. I have been tutoring for five years and homeschool my 8-year-old stepdaughter.

I hold a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies, providing me with a well-rounded college education. In addition to that, I am currently seeking a Masters degree in Education. At the end of this program, I will hold a teaching license. I love learning and encouraging others to strive to do their best. I have worked with all age groups (elementary through college age students), mentoring and teaching them along the way. I don’t have a preferred age group to work with, as I believe there are advantages to each age group. I am going to be specialized in the social sciences once I have my teaching license, but I have worked with not only that subject, but math, English, science, and writing.
I love working with people and have done my best to always be doing so throughout my life. While in high school, I tutored and mentored other high school students. While in college, I started work ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love watching the face of a child when they realize that they have mastered a word that previously eluded them. When I tutor a child in reading, I will ask them questions about what they like to learn or how they like to have the teacher teach them and then base my tutoring off their answers. This way, the child feels involved in the process as well as gains the knowledge in a manner that feels correct for them to learn. I have had much success with tutoring children this way. I love the chance to make a child a reader.
Since I was a young girl, the English language has been as important to me as breathing. I have tutored elementary school children thru the S.M.A.R.T. program as well as through classroom assistance programs. I am currently working on completing my Associate of Science degree in English and expect to have my degree in June 2010. I have gained a lot of experience t ... read more

As a counselor for two summers at Camp Harlow (eugene, OR), I had my hands full playing, mentoring, and getting know up to twelve kids every week from the ages of 5-14. During this time, effective communication skills were paramount to success along with patience and listening. I work hard to communicate clearly and simply on an appropriate level. This has afforded me many opportunities to successfully mentor others. I believe learning is best done through teaching and dynamic communication. Overall, I would like to reinforce that my teaching style emphasizes efficient communication through the proper definition of concepts and the clear and appropriate use of language.
I have recently graduated from Grove City College (PA) with a Bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biology. During my undergraduate studies, I was introduced to a curriculum largely in the fields of chemistry, physics ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I strongly believe that education is a life-long learning experience, that children are able to learn from each other, that a teacher can facilitate the learning process and that students and teachers are able to learn from each other. I endorse the theory that all children can learn, but also recognize that they are unique individuals, who may process learning in different ways. It is, therefore, important to use the teaching method/techniques/strategies that best work with each students. I am an advocate of bringing real life into the classroom and/or taking students on field trips to experience things first-hand. I would embrace individual student differences and build on them, not only using traditional methods, but also those that are creative, innovative and hands-on. I would like to make the classroom a fun place, where students enjoy instruction and accept responsibility for ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been an educator for over 10 years. Even as an undergrad, I was interested in working with children and spent my summers employed with the YMCA's youth programs. My experience is working with at-risk youth from kindergarten to high school seniors. My Master's degree in education combines coursework in special education and talented and gifted. I have tutored and taught students in all subjects both core curriculum and electives. My certification covers Kindergarten through Ninth grade.
I enjoy teaching. Working with a student one-to-one or even in small groups allows a student to have their individual needs met. Tutoring has the advantage of catching the student where they are struggling to comprehend. I am patient, creative, and prefer to model examples for my students. I believe that a strong foundation in the basics will help a student grasp more difficult concepts. ... read more

I have trained volunteers, developed manuals and curricula for children through adults, and offered seminars for as many as 200 people.

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and strive every day to become a better teacher, as my career goal is to teach at the university level. I find teaching exciting and difficult. In my discussion sections, I adopt an attitude not of authority over students but of collaboration with students; I try to create and facilitate an environment of collective engagement with a given text or topic. I miss being able to work with students one-on-one, particularly on academic writing, though I do hold weekly office hours and frequently conference with students who are motivated to seek out extra help. I know each of my students every term by name and strive to cultivate meaningful connections with them as people, as learners like myself. I believe that critical thinking is the foundation of academic writing, and I keep this in mind in leading discussions in introductory philosophy courses.

Teaching is my passion. I am very close to my students, and I pride myself on making a personal connection with my students and being able to address their individual needs. As a young teacher, I am fully prepared to take on the responsibilities of my own classroom, but I am always looking for ways to improve my pedagogical approach and thus look forward to working with peers and supervisors.
Because I was a grad student in English, I have ample experience writing and editing. I was able to individually tutor fellow students through the years and thus have experience working one-on-one with students. At both the Institute of Reading Development and CSULB I had the chance to work with all ages, nationalities, and ability levels, something I found immensely enjoyable. Although these jobs were focused on teaching in front of a classroom, they also supplied me with ample time to wo ... read more

My bachelor's degree from University of Missouri-Columbia is in Political Science. I also minored in Art History. I have done extensive research in each of these areas and feel competent to teach or tutor either. In 2005 I joined the U.S. Peace Corps as a TEFL teacher. I taught English to Mongolian students from elementary school to adults in both classroom and individual settings for two years. Other areas I have in-depth knowledge in are English Literature, Poetry, Philosophy and Psychology. I am currently refreshing and adding to the French I studied at the university and feel that I could competently teach it.
I have always preferred an interactive teaching style. At times in Mongolia I found the language barrier to be inhibiting the learning of the students. This caused me to explore different teaching methods which I otherwise would have never considered. For example ... read more

I believe in high academic expectations for my students and clear and transparent communication with them and their families. I believe in setting consistent and attainable goals for my students to initiate and maintain a record of success to build their self confidence and embolden their academic ambitions. Regardless of whether my students currently intend on going to college, I believe in a rigorous high school academic discipline that projects success in college and beyond.
After graduating from Wheaton College with high honors, I served as a Fulbright Scholar to the Slovak Republic where I taught English conversation and researched the role of the Catholic Church in the post-communist era. Subsequently, I served as an AmeriCorps Member for 2 years providing academic tutoring and life-skills training. I moved to Boston in 2008 to teach/tutor at one of the top high schools in th ... read more
