English/Language Arts Tutor

While attending Texas Tech University I was employed by the Marsha Sharp Center for Student Athletes as a tutor and worked with athletes in the following subject areas: English, Spanish, Art History, History, and Political Science. I was also a summer school teacher for a non-profit organization called Shalom Readers and led a classroom of children between 6 and 8 years of age. I was responsible for planning Christian based games and learning activities for them as well as providing them with coursework that covered all basic subject areas. I graduated from Texas Tech cum laude with a degree in English and a double minor in Spanish and Electronic Media and Communications. I come from a family of teachers and hope to gain my certification soon. Please contact me if you are need of tutoring!

I have dedicated my life to working with children from kindergarten to the college level. It is my belief that all students can learn if provided the tools to do so. The key to their learning is embedded in the way in which their specific learning needs are met. I believe in active participation by students through the use of hands on activities that allow for discovery and a constructive approach to learning. I am very easy going and patient but at the same time expect and encourage students to reach their fullest potential and to utilize what they have learned to critical think and apply what they have learned in new and different situations. I want students to seek their very best.
As a professional educator I have taught for over 20+ years at all levels including the college level, I have learned to look for the very best in students and to encourage them to reach their f ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I create a learning-centered environment that is a welcoming, comfortable, and encouraging place in which my students feel safe enough to explore and share their thoughts and observations of the world. I consistently communicate my interest in and enthusiasm for the course material by demonstrating the real-world application of the skills we are learning and by illustrating how much I respect and value my students’ thoughts and ideas. I believe the old authoritarian model of classroom teaching, in which the student is a passive receptacle, creates a threatening environment that allows for very little room for growth. I follow a more democratic approach to teaching that is participatory in nature and promotes active learning.
I have over ten years of college teaching experience and have taught a wide range of subjects, including English composition, English as a second language, rem ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have taught English/Language Arts for approximately 10 years, from 6th grade level through Freshman College. My strengths are in reading, writing instruction and vocabulary development. I have also tutored for SAT/ACT and FCAT prep. My goal with each student is to determine where their particular hurdles lie and tailor an appropriate and effective strategy to surmount them.
Tutoring provides the opportunity to teach in a way the traditional classroom rarely can; that precious one on one attention to a particular student's individual learning style, strengths and stumbling blocks. Often, a student's success depends less upon who their tutor is, than simply having a tutor at all. My experience with very academically challenged students has demonstrated that I seem to have a knack for finding the "sweet spot" that turns on the lights. Tutoring lets you know every day that you'r ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that teaching should be modified to meet an individual student's needs. Everyone learns differently and processes information in their own way. I like the discovery approach to teaching because it solidifies the information in a student's mind and also helps them understand how they learn best. Teaching styles should be adaptable and open to change based on the needs of the student at all times. By focusing on individual personalities and needs, the classroom environment as a whole will function better. I am patient, love to make learning fun, open to change, and always willing to learn myself.
I have taught and tutored reading and English in a variety of schools (rural, suburban, and urban). My Bachelor's of Science in Education degree was awarded by the University of Oklahoma in May 2010. I currently hold my Statement of Status of Eligibility for the Florida Stat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from the University of South Florida with my degree in special education, I was offered a position with Pasco County Schools. I was a full time teacher at Land o’ Lakes High School for two years. I taught students with learning disabilities in both a self-contained and co-teach environment. My primary subject areas were history, math, and reading. In addition, I have worked as a tutor to help my students pass the High School Competency Exam.
I believe that my teaching style is best described as a demonstrator or personal model. I enjoy explaining the information and then coaching or guiding my students to develop and apply the skills and knowledge. I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using ... read more

Teaching is my passion, and I very much enjoy working with students of all ages. I am currently pursuing certification and a Masters degree to work with students in an English Language Arts classroom, but I have taught and tutored in math, science, vocabulary, reading, writing, and phonics. I am especially adept at teaching ESOL learners and improving reading comprehension. I have tutored and worked with students from ages 3-21, helping with everything from acquisition of language at the phonemic level to complex college-level writing.
I think it is important to give students successful experiences so that they understand learning can be positive and fun and so that they develop a sense of confidence. I am patient, reliable, and great at showing children their individual strengths and abilities, as well as helping them understand the way that they learn best. This means I seek to n ... read more

My teaching style is very dependent on learner style. I identify the way the student learns best and go from there. Motivation of struggling students is often dependent on the relationship of the student to the teacher, so it is very important that teachers reach out to care and build trust with the learner. I am flexible, positive, and persistent with all my students and try to have a good sense of humor!
As a veteran Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) teacher, I have assisted hundreds of struggling students learning to read and write. During the past several years my job has been Support Facilitation, helping SLD students in the general education classroom. As a professional teacher, I can work well with all kinds of students.I have worked with all ethnicities and income levels.
