I vary my teaching style according to what brings out the best in each of my students. It depends on what learning strategy works best for them.
I have worked in many aspects of tutoring from being a lead teacher in a daycare classroom to my current job as a bilingual teacher assistant in an elementary school. I have held my current job for four years. I have worked with children with varying disabilities. I have also tutored college students in study and test taking skills, reading and comprehension, math, and English language arts.

I have obtained 22 credits of my masters degree in Teacher Leadership for School Improvement and am 1 course away from my Reading Endorsement. I am also ESOL certified. I am a certified teacher and experienced tutor. I have experience teaching 4th and 5th grades, all subject areas, reading intervention for 2nd and 3rd grade, and reading and math tutoring experience all the way from pre-k through 9th grade.

All students are capable of learning, it is our responsibility as educators to discover what motivates our students and how our students learn. I love tutoring because you are able to tailor lessons to fit one specific child's needs and interests. I am a strict teacher who belives that given the right balance of stability and engagement, all students can achieve success! Working in a high needs school district in the city of Hampton, I learned that structure and compassion are two vital ingredients for engaged learning. I am energetic, fun, effective and organized. It is these attributes that keep students engaged in my interactive teaching style.
I am a highly qualified special education teacher, with an endorsement in language arts. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from Michigan State University in 2008. My experience with tutoring and teaching learning disabled and other stud ... read more

As an educator, I have had many opportunities to work with various different students. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education and a master's degree in teaching with an emphasis in learning disabilities. I have taught secondary special education for 5 years, focusing on math, reading, and writing. I have also privately tutored students of all ages and abilities in math, reading, and writing. I have excellent success in helping students improve their skills, often beyond what is generally expected of them.
It is difficult for me to say which age of student I love working with because each student I have worked with from age 6 - 25 has been very rewarding. I am very patient and work diligently to find creative strategies and approaches to teaching. I believe that all children should be encouraged to meet their potential by gen ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I prefer to approach learning in a well-rounded approach. I feel that when others have a basic understanding of material, they are better able to ask relevant questions that are more specific. During school, peer-review was an area I excelled at. I am supportive in others' efforts, and guide them in the right direction, while paying attention to their strengths.
Throughout my college career, I learned many reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. Academically, I am most familiar with the structure and requirements of written assignments. My work gave me over 5 years experience in the customer service field, where I trained over ten other associates.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching methods vary depending upon the subject matter and the pupil’s preferences. I enjoy getting to know students and customizing their learning experience to the methods that will best serve them. In the classroom setting, I employ many forms of teaching, including lecture, memorization, demonstration and the Socratic Method when appropriate. I have worked with students from all backgrounds and age levels, and enjoy each student for their own unique personality and potential. I believe that all children can be successful when surrounded by people who care and tools to get them there. As a tutor, I strive to be the most valuable asset in developing the student’s learning skills and their mastery of the subject matter.
As a graduate of a Big Ten school, and a current master’s level student, I have had many focuses in school that I can teach in the tutoring setting. I also cur ... read more

I began my career as a high school teacher teaching grades 9-12. My engagement with students at this level was highly satisfying; I loved teaching this age group speech and drama courses. After that I spent several years in a FT professional touring performance ensemble that performed for all ages in a variety of settings across the Midwest. Finally, for the last 15 years, I have taught a variety of college level communication and performance courses, as well as various writing classes. I help students become competent oral and written communicators. The expressive arts (e.g.,theatre and performance studies) is also a specialty. I work one-on-one with most of my students.
I love the give and take of interaction with students. My approach is learner-centered, which means that I see each student as an individual and strive to tailor our instructional exchange to meet the needs of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is simply to provide an environment that is conducive to learning – one which supports collaboration and teamwork, student-centricity, personalization, fun, and humor. I am committed to providing the highest quality education for my students. Each individual learns differently, and I have come to accept that I can't entirely please each and every individual in the classroom (especially when I have over 200 students). I have also come to accept that not every student will "like me". As an instructor, it is my role to present information in a way so students learn. I have realized that students learn, not because they think I am "cool", but rather because the information was presented to accommodate each and every learning style. Therefore, I try to use a variety of different mediums (e.g., visual, audio, etc.) when presenting the class material.

I have earned a BA from Calvin College which has certified me to teach at the k-8 levels in social studies and liberal arts and have earned a Masters degree in Counseling Education (certified K-12)which has given me the ability to work wtih students who are difficult to motivate and achieve. During my years, I have gained a wonderful rapport with students of all levels (K-12) while working at Huntington Learning Center. My experience is with students of diversity in areas of culture, ethnicity, social, and a wide range of ability.
I know that students can work and achieve if the right kind of motivation is given. Each child has their own learning style and interest which needs to be taken into consideration when working with thenm and then to be taught in that mode and style. My goal for the student is to learn through motivation when the interest is used in the lessons which w ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy helping people learn English. Have a lot of understanding and compassion of what it means to learn a foreign language, as I have learned two. I have also lived as an expatriate in a foreign country, so I understand a lot of what the expatriate has to go through in a new land. I am used to teaching all types of learners, from slow to fast, and am able to adjust. I love to see people be encouraged and catch on, so I try to guide new concepts around mental roadblocks, and make it easy. I also love to learn new things, and new ways of doing things.
I was a Missionary in Panama for fourteen years. Learned Spanish through a two-year course in the country. As a missionary, I went on to teach Literacy and Bible to indigenous peoples there. After coming home stateside, although not certified, I earned extra income by giving classes in English to Hispanics in my home. I also t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently received my Bachelors Degree from the University of Michigan, where I studied English and Spanish. I chose a rigorous course schedule which allowed me to greatly develop my writing, editing, proofreading, and critical thinking skills. During my sophomore year of college, I began to facilitate creative writing workshops with youth and adults. This included editing and correcting for grammar as well as content, and providing useful feedback to my students. I continued with this work throughout college, and even after graduating. In addition, I taught an undergraduate course at the University of Michigan for the Program on Intergroup Relations. I was responsible planning and executing activities, teaching class sessions, and assigning and grading student projects, journals and exams for a class of 16 students.
I am extremely passionate about the education of our youth, ... read more
