A Little Bit About Me...

I have a very natural, relaxed teaching style. I nurture self-esteem and success. I believe that children are naturally creative, inquisitive, and avid learners. When they are nurtured, taught, and loving cared for and educated by adults in their lives, they soar to their greatest heights with enriched self esteem and excelling in knowledge of new tasks/skills based on their ability. I have always said that children are like sponges, they will absorb what they are able to comprehend at the time and a teacher must build on their successes. I always look for their “abilities” and then expand on them.

I tutored English and Humanities in the Academic Skills Center of my alma mater, Heritage University. I was a Teacher's Assistant at this university for two semesters and often took over for the class in place of the professor. I tutored primarily college students. My specialization was in Technical and Report Writing. I also currently tutor two minor students in a homeschool setting. One is ten years old and has significant reading delays, but has been gaining reading speed and comprehension with me. The other is 18 years old; I am helping her graduate from high school, so I plan all curriculum and tutor her in all subjects.
I am very student-centered. I believe that all students can learn any subject if the teaching style is adapted to the student's learning needs and prior experience. I further believe that learning should be fun for the student and to this end I constantly seek ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is dependent on the population (age, class size, group type, socio-economic status of school community, availability of materials). In all cases, I prefer to individualize as much as possible- doing heavy diagnostics to find strengths and weaknesses so I can teach to the strengths and buoy up the weaknesses. I try to be positive, firm but kind, and am open to the uniqueness in each student. Also, due to my vast life experiences, I feel I can roll with the punches much easier now than when I was younger.

More About This Tutor...

Teaching and tutoring has always been a passion of mine. I have always believed that every person is capable of understanding and learning, provided the right teaching method is used. I am patient and take the time to teach my students the subject at hand--mostly using logic and analogies as examples. I usually quiz them as I teach, always assuring they understand and not moving forward until everything is well understood. When one method doesn't work, I try another method. I don't ever give up on my students. I know they can learn. It's just a matter of how, finding the right method, and applying it.

My teaching style is student centered. I change my teaching style to fit the needs of each individual student. I try to include s and visuals into my lessons. I believe for a student to understand a concept, they have to hear it, see it, touch it and do it.
I have many years of tutoring experience. I have tutored all types and levels of students including but not limited to: GATE, English learners and at-risk students (Preschool-7th grade). I am enrolled in a teaching credential program and have passed the CSET and CBEST. I participated in the tutor connection training program, attended a classroom management seminar and am familiar with SIOP and GLAD strategies.
