Basic Learning Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gravette, AR

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and pre-medicine. I have experience working with children who have autism. Elementary education is important to me since it is the foundation upon which later learning is built. I believe that all students have strengths and weaknesses and that each child deserves the opportunity to succeed in school. While psychology was my primary area of study, I am excellent with reading, writing, and medical related sciences. Being a kinesthetic learner I am familiar with the challenges a traditional classroom setup create. I know how to help an introverted child move to the head of the class and tailor their study habits to their abilities. Reading is important at all ages and comes more easily for some than others. For any child that lags behind in this area I am passionate about moving them to the front of the class. In my opinion, allowing a c

I have tried to apply a balance of patience and diligence to my teaching. I am always hoping for maximum results but, realize that learning is up to the individual and each person has a different learning experience. Being sincerely interested in a student's progress and success has no substitute. It is one of the most powerful resources a person has as a teacher.

I am a very passionate teacher and I feel a strong sense of responsibility for the students I teach and tutor. I work to build a rapport with my students so that they are comfortable working with me and sharing their struggles with me. My teaching style certainly changes with each subject that I teach. I know that students who are struggling usually do not need more of the same type of instruction that they received in class. I try to find different or hands-on opportunities to help instruct my students. I also know that this sometimes means approaching the same skill or subject several different ways until I find the way that makes it click for my student! I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and I am a certified to teach pk-8th grades. I also have a masters degree in Educational Administration and Curriculum Supervision. I am completing my 7th year of teaching. In th

All people can learn, you just have to find a way to make the student understand the information, if its hands on or reading or a combination of both. Children need the tools and the direction and if you provide them both, the sky is the limit. I want to make a difference in a child's life. I have been working with the public for over 20 years, in that time I have worked with young adults as well as mature adults. I have also done some substitute teaching in elementary and high school levels. My experience is in food service and have dealt with many walks of life. I am a very committed member of Lincoln Kiwanis International as well as a member of the Central United Methodist Church. While I was a student at the University of Missouri I received a 5 hour A in Chemistry.

As a graduate student, I taught beginning and intermediate German language classes for 4 semesters, receiving above average evaluations each semester. Even after I had completed my Masters program, I was asked by the Foreign Language Department to return for the summer semesters to teach as a lecturer. As a Microsoft Office Master Instructor I taught MS Office applications, as well as basic VBA programming and Project Management to adults of all experience levels. I was often requested when individuals and companies scheduled courses, and consistently received outstanding evaluations. I prefer to help individuals learn at their own pace, using their own preferred method of learning: visual, aural, hands-on, or a combination. I use analogies and real world situations that students are familiar with to convey abstract concepts. Although I am patient and encourage fun in learning, I ur

As a long-term adjunct instructor, I have successfully cultivated an effective set of best teaching practices relative to the English language and Communications. I make every conscious attempt to relate to my students as individuals and to meet their educational needs. Additionally, I exert much effort with students to impress upon them the importance of education in their lives and the fact that learning can be totally fun. I find it rewarding to teach children and adults the necessary skills that allow them to obtain full English literacy. One of the greatest accomplishments in the course of the educational process is the acquisition of full, quality literacy; it is the foundation. Consequently, I prefer a step-by-step, pragmatic method of teaching English language skills: phonics, words, syllables, consonants, verbs, sentences, punctuation, grammar, etc.

I also taught Developmental Kindergarten. Before I retired, I was the sole Gifted Education K-8 teacher for my school district. I currently am employed in this same position on a part-time basis. As a teacher I have had much experience in after-school tutoring in various subjects at the elementary level. My education at the Masters level,certifications in Gifted and Elementary Education, along with extensive classroom experience,qualify my credentials as a competent and knowledgeable tutor.

I love working with children and feel that is my God given talent. I believe that all children can and will learn with the proper time given to them. All children learn differently. As a teacher you have to work on the best way to teach that child. I feel that tutoring you have the full attention of the child. By working one on one the child will benefit greatly. I have been working with elementary children for 19 years. I have expericence as a Title 1 Teacher Assistant, Special Education aide, Substitute teacher and Sunday school teacher.
