Yes, Learning Is A Lifetime Venture! Enjoy The Journey!!!

I am a veteran teacher with 32 years in the classroom. I have taught a variety of grade levels with most of my time concentrated in kindergarten, first, and fifth grades. I am a National Board Certified Teacher which has given me the opportunity to put research into practice. I have taught advanced students as well as autistic, Down Syndrome, developmental delayed, ADD, ADHD, and learning disabled students.

A patient teacher to assist with learning.

All students can learn. Some just need a little more practice until they can consistently perform the task without assistance. I assist in teaching at Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. I have been supporting student’s academics for over 8 years. My experience with students expands from pre-kindergarten to the 8th grade. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a degree in history. In addition to that, I have studied two years of elementary Spanish. I currently supply aid in a 4th grade class room setting with pupils who struggle in reading, writing and math. With my guidance, students practice reading phonics, reading fluency, and reading comprehension. In math they practice spatial relationships and number sense. I receive instruction from the lead teacher as to what the child is struggling with and work on that. Typically, I direct the focus on the child’s ... read more

Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects!

I've been teaching for a total of 22 years grades 2nd-5th. I have extensive experience on school improvement committees and after school programs. I've maintain excellent classroom management skills and an ability to keep students on task. I've integrated multiple teaching styles to intensify the range of learning.
As an experience teacher, I'd like to apply unique practices of teaching. I rely on demonstation to help my students comprehend what is being taught. I model new concepts several times and then take students through guided practice. Once guided practice has been completed, students begin practicing independently.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : My past courses have included Myth and Human Culture, Beauty in Western Culture, Linguistic Anthropology and Literature Based Research. My method of active reading has helped several peers become more efficient in their literature based courses. As for younger students, I have completed courses in child and adolescent psychology as well as human cognitive behaviors. I do not use a cookie cutter approach to teaching reading as science has proven these "systems" ineffective. If you are looking for an individualized approach to reading and to increasing the enjoyment of reading, I may be able to help.

My approach is multimodal as all students are different. The one consistent element is that of an active learning environment. Passive memorization and repetitive tasks are not part of my repertoire as both have usually been unsuccessfully attempted by those seeking tutoring. I request a lot of participation from the student. Development of critical thinking is also a fundamental part of the tutoring environment. This skill alone will help students through all academic courses (and life in general). Although my expectations are high, we begin by building a firm foundation of study skills and habits which work to make these expectations attainable. My background knowledge in human cognition has given me invaluable insight into how we encode, retain and recall information.
As a returning adult college student, I have both classroom experience and life experience. My academic bac ... read more

Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects! I have been tutoring a 14 year-old boy in reading comprehension for the past year and have seen great improvement in his abilities.

I served as a writing tutor to my peers while I was in college. I did this for three years and it seemed to help the students a great deal. This position was accompanied by training provided by one of my professors at Montreat College. The training lasted a full semester. I have also been tutoring a 14 year-old boy in reading comprehension for the past year. He has greatly improved since we started last summer in the speed of his reading, interest in what he is reading, and better comprehension as a whole.

Creating Confident Students via Creative Learning

I have assisted students with tutoring for most of my life. My mother has worked as a teacher since I was born. I have a broad spectrum in technical and creative skills when working with students. I worked as the Geology Tutor at UNC Asheville. I have worked as a tutor for K-5 students at Hall Fletcher Elementary School (also in Asheville, NC). I have also volunteered throughout my life, helping and tutoring students of all ages throughout my educational and professional career.
I like to use hands on and/or creative teaching methods when possible. I believe that practice and persistence makes perfect. I would say that my teaching style is "outside of the box". I use this effective method when possible, due to the fact that typically students have tried more standardized methods and have not been able to learn from them; therefore they seek tutoring.
