I love to incorporate art and sensory experiences into everything I do to really activate the brain. The "Drill and Kill" is very rarely appropriate, so I tailor every approach individually. What works for one student may not work with another. My formal training includes many intervention types and experience with multiple programs and curricula, so I have a large pool from which to draw...then we get creative! My style REALLY aims for those over-arching foundational skills like critical thinking, thought organization, and problem solving. I will also track and provide data to monitor progress and hold myself accountable for effectiveness. Let's start out by saying I am definitely not your average tutor! Fun is vital to motivation, and I live on the stuff! I have been teaching for over fifteen years in a variety of environments, working in inclusive environments with children aged

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

In essence, education is a means of identifying with the world through a variety of lenses. Evidence of learning does not always come through a student’s ability to perform well on a test or paper. While basic understanding of content is imperative to the success of all students, I also believe that the true essence of the written word is self-expression. Whether that is personal expression, expressions of society and culture as a whole, or merely the expression of the petals on a flower—students should view literacy as a medium for transformation. With this comes the full understanding and appreciation of language arts in academia and in society. I firmly believe that the most vital ingredient for student success is passion. I am aware that most students do not walk into a classroom with this; which is why it is my objective to spark an appetite for the written word by focusing on t

There are a thousand approaches to Shakespeare, and as a Shakespeare "expert", I've helped people with most of them. That includes: 1.) One-on-one tutoring, 2.) Designing essays and research papers, 3.) Guest lecturing on specific topics, 4.com) Acting as factual consultant on theatre productions, 5.) Editing books, and 6.) Moderating Shakespeare panels and debates. Clients have covered all ages (down to elementary school) and levels of expertise (up to professors). My job is to tailor the tutoring session to your goal, whether that's preparing for an exam or writing a term paper. Prompt and thorough communication is vital to ensuring that the session(s) are satisfactory. In addition, all sessions adhere to strict university standards regarding ethics.

I offer 16 years of English writing instructional experience. I have taught a diverse range of students, both in terms of abilities and cultural backgrounds. Instructional areas include English as a second language, developmental concerns, creative writing and poetry (I am a published poet), professional and technical writing. I have also provided SAT and AP preparation tutoring. My instructional approach emphasizes interactivity, use of new technologies, and a positive, "we can do it" philosophy that acknowledges writing s a process that starts with the creation of ideas, moves to refinement and revision, and ends with emphasis on correctness. In this approach, students who find writing challenging often discover that an emphasis on writing freely and creatively along with a focus on critical thinking skills, is the fastest way to improved written content and technique.

I believe all children can learn. A good teacher tries to find each child's individual learning style and accomodate lessons to match it. I also think learning should be fun, so I use a lot of games and other incentives. I am patient, have a good sense of humor, and have age and the experience of being the mother of two twenty-somethings on my side. I taught in the Wright City RII School District for 26 years, at both high school and middle school level. During that time I taught everything from English and American literature to basic grammar and writing skills. I also taught some reading classes. I have extensive experience in writing research papers and strong skills in grammar and punctuation. I was an assistant principal for two years, and helped develop a reading program for the middle school. As a professional teacher tutoring students was an essential part of ensuring suc

My education in international relations and international public affairs has allowed me to gain knowledge in the social sciences and foreign languages. As an undergraduate student, I studied and worked in Spain, which has given me the opportunity to hone my Spanish skills. In graduate school, I participated in a number of Mandarin Chinese intensive language programs, both in the United States and mainland China. I have tutored students in high school and college and have also served as a mentor to undergraduate and graduate students. As a future university professor, students’ success and understanding of the subject at hand is of the utmost importance to me. My greatest strength as a tutor is that I know what it is like to have no knowledge of a foreign language. Thus, I am able to diagnose the particular difficulties a student is having and provide appropriate guidance in resolvin

I like teaching and sharing my knowledge. I want to help people learn a new language as well as improve on what they already know. Learning should be easy and fun. When people have the motivation, when the learning process is easy, fun, challenging and fits into their schedule, the possibility for success is great. I have a Bachelors degree in French with one year spent in a francophone country. I also studied English, Linguistics and Project Development and Management. Added to that, I completed a teacher training program organized by the French Pedagogical Center in Freetown. I have experience teaching French, English and Indigenous Sierra Leonean Languages.

I am actually in the process with my students, their victories are my victories. I want my students to be proud of the work that they have done and the achievements that they have made. I give my students the information, I show them how to apply the information through modeling, I practice with them and then I release them to apply the technique themselves. Afterward I assign an project for an artifact that allows them through written words to translate their knowledge to another person. It is my goal to prepare them for life outside of the classroom, failure is not an option. I have a proven success rate in assisting my students in excelling on standardized tests. In the 2007-2008 school year my students achieved double digit gains on the MSAs (Middle School Assessments). Also during my experience I have moved basic and proficient students to advanced levels on the standardized
