Language and Social Studies Tutor Now Accepting Students

I have taught Spanish and ESL at the collegiate, upper/high, and middle school levels. I earned my B.A. in Spanish with a history minor from Baylor University in 3.5 years and graduated Magna cum Laude. I earned my M.A. in Spanish at Baylor University in May of 2010. I have tutored extensively both during and after my studies. I look forward to working with you.
I believe that anyone can learn. I approach history as a story (albeit a very detailed one) and languages as a skill set. I don't do rote memorization, but instead emphasize the patterns, causes, and effects of concepts. If you can begin to understand the why and the patterns behind concepts, the material becomes more meaningful and a lot of the need for rote memorization is removed. Mistakes are learning opportunities, and learning should be meaningful, not stressful. I take whatever approach necessary to give you ... read more

My comments on tutoring English : Can teach any level of English Literature or Grammar.

I'm very laid back, but I know how to get results. I have always been a very disciplined student, but I realized pretty early in my academic career that unless I make the subject interesting for me, I'll never grasp the material. I make it a point to get to know every student so that I can personalize their learning style. The only way they'll learn and understand something is if they WANT to do so. I offer a different approach to things that students may not get in the classroom, to hopefully expand their interest in a subject they never thought they'd like.
I recently obtained my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, where I graduated in the top of my class with a 4.0. While there, I often tutored people in writing and research, as well as serving as a Teaching Assistant for various classes including: Theatre History, Voice for the Actor, and Shakesp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm a very auditory type of person meaning I like to explain, but I understand sometimes that gets boring so I can come up with different strategies to get my point across.
In high school I graduated 3rd in my class. Tutored last summer at big buddy for volunteer and did a little this summer so I'm still getting the hang of it, but my passion is helping students to excel in their reading skills. I remember what it used to be like for me as a student in high school and other facilities. I also volunteered at LSU for 3 weeks at Gear Up.

More About This Tutor...

Right now I am in school to be an English High School Teacher at LSU. I have a year left of school and am very excited to start my career. I have worked in preschools and daycares since I was 16. I worked my way up through the classroom and became a lead teacher of a 3-4 year old class. This allowed me to create lesson plans and help the students.

Graduate Student-Tutor

I am a graduate student at Louisiana State University. I am working to obtain a master's degree in Social Work. Many may think that social work is far from teaching, but it is actually the same field. No, we may not serve in a classroom setting, but we do serve your communities through encouragement, hard-work and resources. For example, I have worked in Southern Lab's after school program, where I helped students with their homework and created interactive learning activities for the students. I've also had experience with tutoring family members.
I will be able to motivate your student through creative learning skills, while helping develop his/her critical thinking skills. I will able to help your student, by seeking to understand his/her learning technique and using that information to better serve the student. I've had the opportunity to work with students of all ages.

Certified teacher specializing in ACT

I believe every student can learn. The key is to find your student's strengths and inspire her or his internal motivation. One on one teaching makes a significant difference even in the most reluctant learners. For those who are motivated to earn their best score, I routinely see more than 3 point gains in Reading, Writing/English and Science on the ACT. Because of the family resemblance of standardized tests, you will see not only ACT score increases, but improved English and Math grades as well. While my specialty is Verbal and Science, I have a number of incredible strategies for the math section that can help your student answer 6-12 more questions correctly.
I am a certified teacher, currently practicing in Covington, La. I've taught ACT and SAT prep for 7 years, along with the essential skills intervention required to raise scores. My teaching experience includes: 10 years cl ... read more
