Poetry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Greencastle, PA

Through the years I have had the opportunity to teach a variety of students with special needs and different abilities. I seek to find the individual's learning style and devise a plan that will fit that student. The curriculum and teaching style should fit the student, not the other way around. I am a dedicated and experienced teacher in both ELA and Reading having taught for fifteen years in Vermont and New York State. I am looking to help students achieve their full potential in reading and writing. My family recently relocated to Waynesboro, PA for my husband's job and I miss teaching.

This fall, I begin my twentieth year as a teacher. I'm still teaching because I'm still curious myself about the world around us, and sharing that passion, curiosity, and drive to know is part of my classroom every day. Showing learners the path to success is not just my vocation--it's an avocation. I've taught at high schools in Texas and Virginia, and have worked with students of all abilities: remediation and review classes, general, academic, honors, advanced placement, and advanced placement for gifted students. The courses I've taught include ESL English language, and reading, science, social studies, and math for ESL; Earth Science; Sat Verbal and SAT Writing; high school English for 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades; AP Language and Composition; AP Literature and Composition; Creative Writing; Practical Writing; and, Science Fiction. In my first decade as a teacher, I

I am the first college graduate in my family. In the last 18 years, I earned an Associate's Degree and a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics with a minor in Spanish. During my studies in Linguistics, I concentrated on language acquisition, phonology, and grammar and syntax. In 2010, I earned a Master's in Education with a concentration in teaching ESL. My degree in Education has allowed me to research various methods in teaching and how to best convey information to my students. I have taught K-12 ESL, Restaurant ESL, ESL for office jobs, ESL for medical jobs. I also teach Intermediate and Advanced Reading/Writing, which takes students from a basic paragraph to writing various forms of essays. I believe in holistic education, one that connects the student to the world around him, using sight, touch, and sound. Research shows that multiple forms of input create greater pathways for learning

Because of my love for literature, I decided to engage in the teaching profession. I earned my BA at Salisbury University and immediately was offered a job teaching high school English. While teaching, my love for reading and writing continued to grow and influced me to pursue a masters degree in Reading Specialization. I currently teach 6th grade language arts and am spreading my love of reading, writing, and grammar to each class that I teach. My teaching philosophy is that, as educators, we must "teach the whole person". Even though I am a language arts teacher, I try to instill goals and values into my students by completing a variety of acitivities. I love hands-on teaching and allowing my students to have fun while learning. Being a visual learner myself, it's extremely important to utilize the technology that is all around us that our students love so much.

I like to take the "mystery" out of the subject. Math can be especially scary to students who don't have a strong foundation in general mathematics and reading comprehension. I am currently volunteer tutoring an adult friend in general math and I am proud to say that her understanding of the basic principles have increased dramatically in only a couple of sessions. I like to teach students how to take each problem apart into its seperate components. Once they can understand each individual component and how it works, they are able to see the entire system much more readily. I have assisted a number of students; Grades 1-12 as well as college-aged and continuing education in various math and science courses. My previous career included 27 years in the television industry at various local production facilities in Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland as well as the Washington DC bureau of the ABC Net

Aware of the variety of learning styles as well as subject contents, I attempt to work with the individual students in an appropriate learning style to which the student is attuned. As an artist, primarily a visual learner am I, I value the creative concepts that can be incorporated in the tutoring/learning experience. A favorite perspective of mine is "The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." - -Mark van Doren The past 8 years I have worked for the Montgomery County and Frederick County school systems as a substitute teacher in middle and high schools.. An area of extensive experience was with the special needs students at both Linganore and Walkersville High schools. I taught a class in self-esteem skills for the SUCCESS program for Frederick County. I had a fair amount of experience with the ESOL program in Montgomery Cou

I am a demonstrative teacher and leader. I believe in the theory of "model, action, and talk" style of presentation of concepts. My creative background lends itself well to keeping a student's initiative and inspiration to a high level so that they are actually motivated to perform at their best. My personality traits are that I am disciplined and a believer in seeking the truth. My personal goals at this point are to inspire other children to want to learn so that learning and writing are not perceived as boring and meaningless and that through writing, the student will want to continue past the assignment and invoke writing and communication through creative channels into their daily lives so that this becomes a "life-skill." As a recent college graduate of Savannah College of Arts and Design, I have extensive experience with writing skills, leading and directing project based assign

School is my passion and my goal is to help students reach their maximum potential. It has been my experience that students often dislike subjects in which they do not excel. It is my goal to help students overcome their learning challenges and find the same passion I do in education. I am patient, considerate, and have a sense of humor. I have found great success in performing an interactive activity which determines that method a student learns best (auditory, visual, etc) before starting to tutor. I have been blessed with many considerate professors who have helped me through my college career and I look forward to helping others. I am currently an undergraduate student enrolled at Harrisburg University. I will be graduating in December 2010 with a BS in Biotechnology. I have extensive composition skills which I have acquired through writing research papers, laboratory reports, and es

My whole career has been connected with education and the successful development of individuals, teams and organizations. As Principal Training Officer I was responsible for the provision of the full range of training programs for 25,000 non-teaching staff. As a counselor and an executive leadership coach I have been able to support personal confidence and professional growth in the areas of effective communications, presentation skills, assertiveness, relationships, team building and management skills. My own life-long learning experience is indicative of my belief in learning, education and development. I believe that I am well equipped to understand the needs and issues of students at every level of educational study. I am a pragmatic, conscientious, enthusiastic and energetic team-player, believing passionately in empowerment and particularly enjoy supporting others in th

I mold my teaching style to my audience or subject. Best style when one on one is low key approach with frequent praise and encouragement. Tutored my two children up through high school and found each needed a different style, one needed encouragement while the other needed constant challenge and praise. I have over 25 years experience teaching, via seminar and workshop, blue collar workers as well as managers in areas of environmental health and safety. I have also produced over a dozen training videos and published 18 instructional articles.

I graduated from high school as number eleven in rank out of 248. I often assisted other students in both high school and college. Later, as a homeschooling mother of four, I taught all of my children all subjects through the eighth grade level. I just returned from the island of Saipan, where I taught high school English in a private school, and seventh grade English in a public school. I presently am a certified substitute teacher in the Cumberland County, PA, public school system, where I teach almost all grade levels and subjects. I far prefer private tutoring over formal teaching, as I believe my abilities are put to their greatest use in that setting. I absolutely love working with students one-on-one. It's what I do best. Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or toddler

Although some students are naturally gifted in reading and writing, I believe every student can learn strategies to strengthen their language ability. Good writing begins with good reading, and many students need training about how to focus their minds during the reading process. Effective writing is also a result of effective thinking. Students often struggle with writing because they have not spent enough time on the mental planning and pre-writing stage of the composition process. I can help students work on a specific writing project or work on their own grammar and editing skills. I can also offer general approaches for helping students read more effectively, study more efficiently, write more clearly, and think more critically. After evaluating over 7,200 college English papers, I know the language skills that students need to develop in high school. I have taught college com
