More About This Tutor...

I am committed to helping each person reach his or her highest and greatest potential. My goal is to provide each student with an educational environment conducive for a successful learning experience. The tutor must establish the learning setting by creating parameters for the emotional, physical, and mental safety of each student. Specifically, this means the physical location must be without distracters, while the learning content is perceived as helpful, fun, exciting, relevant, and beneficial. The demeanor of the instructor must be serious while being neither stern nor judgmental.
Over the years, I have consistently maintained both high moral values and excellent academic standards. While earning my two BA Degrees, I served both as a tutor and substitute teacher in several elementary schools. My second BA Degree was earned from Warner University in the elementary educatio ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have direct experience as a tutor in the University of Texas at Tyler Writing Center. While working there, I assisted students in all parts of the writing process from initial outlines to proper citation of sources. My more recent positions have all involved some element of training. These experiences ranged from lecture-style presentations to phone, email and face to face instruction.
I am familiar with most major learning styles but do not subscribe to one particular view. To me, effective teaching means being fluid, adaptable, and responsive to the students’ needs and learning styles. Just as a carpenter will use the right tools for the right job, I believe that a good instructor can assess and pick from several approaches the one that will benefit his or her students the most. In all cases, enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject matter are the two most important attrib ... read more

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Sports Journalism from the University of New Hampshire and am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Education from the University of Phoenix. I have extensive experience in multiple types of writing, including journalistic, technical, and academic. My writing experience was obtained from the Nashua Telegraph (NH), Concord Monitor (NH), Portsmouth Herald, Demand Media Studios, Suite101, and Helium.
I love working with any age group, but especially high school and community college students seeking to improve their writing skills. I believe in spending quality time with students in order to customize strategies and techniques specific to their needs. Because we all learn differently, I am able to coach to any learning style.

More About This Tutor...

Over the last three years I have worked in Hillsborough County as a Middle School Science Teacher. After three years of teaching Science I had a strong desire to work with ESE and Special Needs children so I became a Sub for Hillsborough County so I could travel where need and work with various children. Prior to teaching in FL, I taught in SC and provided reading pull out in WV. During my time in WV I worked on a dual Masters in Literacy and Elementary Education, but was unable to finish it due to lack of aid. While teaching FL, I have also tutored children privately and with a SES service.
I love working with children of all ages. I feel that all children can learn and that even the most struggling learners can improve if given encouragement and success. I am easy going, creative, and patient when it comes to teaching. I find that my teaching style is based on what my students ne ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that my instructional abilities, combined with my strong ability to teach. My background in Early Childhood Education as both a teacher for three years, as well as a supervisor for five years has further cemented my ability to teach. My experience has not only given me the opportunity of dealing with students from 3-12 years old, but as a supervisor I was responsible for training new and upcoming teachers on curriculum and program policies annually, and upon hiring. Dealing with adults ranging from 18-55 taught me real life lessons in multiple intelligences, in as much as it forced me to teach the same topics in a variety of ways.
As a teacher I plan to use those skills to motivate students to learn while having fun and being silly. I believe that grades 5-9 are the pathway to either students loving school or hating it, and hopefully my faith and understanding of brain ba ... read more
