Florida Writes Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Greensboro, NC

I love working with children of all levels. I firmly believe all children can learn if given the proper opportunity. I am a very hands on teacher, giving all students an opportunity to really connect with the concepts they are learning. I do focus on incorporating the different styles of learning because I understand all students learn differently. During lessons, I have students listen, write, do, and present. I feel students retain the information when given many opportunities to learn. During my college career, I worked in lower income elementary schools to provide students an extra opportunity to heighten their reading skills through direct instruction. Through this experience I have gained new insight into teaching reading. I understand the importance of using small groups and one-on-one instruction. I have also had the chance to use Success for All, a different type of reading inst

In my educational and professional life, I have focused on achieving excellence in writing. I have taught writing composition, journalism, creative writing, and literature at the college level for five years, and have worked as a writer in the professional world over a decade. In addition to writing, I have worked as a freelance editor and marketing writer now for the past 18 years to supplement my full-time positions. I possess an extensive knowledge of all levels of writing and composition from basic grammar and spelling to constructing the compelling persuasive argument, or formulating the expository essay. I am returning to tutoring now because I want to enter teaching full-time once again. My passion for teaching students has never waned and it is time for me to return to the profession I love most. First and foremost, I love working with students. I believe all students have an abi

I have been a classroom teacher for the past four years in both elementary and middle school. Both of my parents are educators, so I spent a great deal of time tutoring and volunteering in schools prior to my teaching career. I also have a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Florida Atlantic University. My strengths are in the areas of language arts, reading, and social sciences. I like to observe children to determine what learning styles best fit their personalities and strengths. I believe in the capabilities of all children, when their teachers find the proper ways to motivate and support their learning. I find that building a trusting relationship in which students feel comfortable asking questions and thinking critically are best for making gains.

I feel very passionate about education and learning. I think the key to teaching is to engage students, and make content interesting and relevant to their lives. I truly believe that the ideal teaching situation is via one-on-one instruction, because I feel students understand the content better, they can work at their own pace, and they feel comfortable asking questions. I am dedicated to providing all students an equal education, and I am comfortable working with students from diverse social and economic backgrounds. I think education is the key to empowerment. For the past two years, I was the high school English teacher in a small, rural Alaskan village located on the Yukon River. This teaching position was very challenging--I had to teach several subjects, such as English, social studies, geography, art, keyboarding, drama, journalism, and digital photography. Since the high s
