Reading Comprehension Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gravois Mills, MO

I have tutored off and on since high school, and have been a substitute teacher for all grades for the last six years. I excel at spelling and grammar, and had a classical education in literature, Latin and Greek. Because of this classical education, I have been able to teach in-depth,and to share the etymology of many English words with students and teachers alike. I graduated from college one year early, having tested out of all my general studies, which freed me to take independent studies classes, such as in Chaucer and Middle English. I engage the student with questions and illustrations. I am big on gentle correction and encouragement. I know the difference between Latinized English and real English, and I share this with my students. I know grammar is something one can't prescribe, just describe.

The most important element of teaching is to realize one is teaching a person. In a tutoring situation, it is especially important to discover exactly how to present material to the student. As a teacher, I seek to understand the student and then present the material using terms and examples the student can understand. Finally, I literally believe the only “stupid question” is one the learner doesn’t ask. I hold a Bachelor and a Master of Science degree in Science Education. I was certified in the State of Louisiana to teach Chemistry, Biology, General Science, and Computer Literacy. I taught high school Chemistry, Physics, Computer Literacy, and Study Skills. I have taught Biology Lab courses and Computer Information Systems courses at the college level, and have substantial experience teaching algebra to students preparing for the GED exam.

I earned by BA in Psychology in 2010, and I consider myself a very well-rounded student. My main interest lies in Mathematics and Statistics, having completed undergraduate and graduate courses in both subjects. Along with my interest in Math and Statistics is a strong grounding in English and grammar. Along with my Bachelor’s, I received a minor in English and Sociology, both of which required hours of writing-intensive coursework. My senior year of high school I tutored underclassmen in Algebra, and thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. This experience, and my psychology education, helped me understand the process of helping to learn, not to mention the great enjoyment I gained from helping a fellow student. My teaching style is modeled after the great teachers and professors I have had during my four years of secondary and post-secondary education. I strive for patience and understand
