Grammar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Helper, UT

I prefer face-to-face interaction, as language learning is a social experience. With that in mind, I am happy with one-on-one tutoring as well as small groups, even with different levels of experience. Also, language learning should be fun! While the basics such as vocabulary, rules of grammar, etc. are necessary, that does not mean instruction needs to be boring. I recently completed my Master's degree in Portuguese at Brigham Young University. As part of my Master's program, I taught beginning and intermediate Portuguese for five semesters to classes both small and large. My studies included not only language and linguistics but also culture and history of both Portugal and Brazil. I have experience in teaching reading comprehension and writing as well as speaking, and am familiar with ACTFL guidelines for oral proficiency. I also have experience specifically in teaching Portuguese to

I believe that each student has strengths and weaknesses and it is my job as a teacher to find these and help students expand on the strengths while overcoming the weaknesses.Each student has a unique learning style so I need to teach things in ways that the student can grasp. I especially love helping students who experience difficulty learning and watching a student light up when he/she finally understands a concept. I believe that learning should not just be an accumulation of facts, but teach people to think through real problems and come up with viable solutions to these problems. By individualizing student instruction all students realize their dreams and succeed in life. I graduated Magna cum Laude with Bachelors degree in Elementary Education and a Resource Minor in 1990. I taught special eduction K-3 one year and K-6 for three other years where I restructured the special educat

When I was younger I had a really tough time with my speech and with my reading/comprehension. I went through school constantly having to work slower and harder than most students in my class. I was so determined to get better at my learning disabilities that I decided to go to a tutor. With the extra great help and assistance I was able to catch up to most students in my class and continued to excel throughout grade school. Because of this learning disability, throughout most of my life I have been driven and passionate to work with children that may have the same problems that I had as a child. I worked as a volunteer with children that had literacy problems, worked as an assistant teacher with children that have a difficult time keeping up with the class. I thoroughly enjoy working with students in any learning atmosphere. I have learned through years of working in both, a volun

I grew up reading the nutritional panel on everything. I was absolutely fascinated how the body used the food that we eat to derive the energy and perform the tasks necessary for life. This interest in the human body led me to pursue a degree in nutrition. I recently graduated Brigham Young University the honored graduate of my college with a BS in Nutritional Science. Due to the nature of my degree, I have an extensive knowledge in the fields of biology, chemistry, anatomy/physiology, and nutrition. I am not, however, limited to these subjects. I have had approximately four years of tutoring experience for Alpine and Provo School Districts ranging from English, German, Statistics, to Algeba, Biology, and History. First and foremost, I love working with and teaching children. For that reason, my future plans are to be a pediatrician. They are so wonderful and nothing is more excit

I know how to help students study and learn. I can teach ways to get important information from notes and textbooks to help students complete assignments and increase test scores. I am very patient and if a student doesn't understand a concept the way I am presenting it, I will try other ways to present it until the student understands. I also desire to increase a student's love of learning. Test scores and grades are important, but becoming interested, even passionate about learning leads to more long-term success and lifelong, self-directed learning. I homeschooled my 3 children, during which time I developed, planned and taught full curricula over the course of 15 years, each year tailoring the material to the levels and needs of each child. I have taught most subjects from Kindergarten through high school level including math and science of many levels. I am also excellent at quickly

While I have taught in various ways and capacities throughout my life, I have always enjoyed most teaching one-on-one. As an undergraduate Spanish minor I tutored fellow undergraduates learning Spanish. As a graduate student I worked as a political science teaching assistant and taught my own classes in American and ethnic literature and culture. As an assistant professor of Ethnic and Mexican American Studies at St. Cloud State University and the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities I taught various classes on American culture, history, and literature. I always enjoyed the individual interaction with students and believe some of my best teaching was achieved working with students individually. First and foremost I believe in teaching/tutoring from where the student is when I meet her or him. This is because if I don't appreciate and understand what the student knows, I can't really beg

Every child is different, and each has his/her own unique style of learning. My goal in teaching is always to find out how each child learns best and to cater my teaching to the specific needs of that child. I also believe that children need to feel successful in order to continue learning. In my teaching, I provide a safe and encouraging atmosphere where a child feels capable and confident enough to take some risks when learning something new. Learning should be enjoyable and challenging, but not frustrating. I am sensitive to the feelings of my students and know when to switch gears when a particular method is not proving to be effective. I have a kind and patient demeanor, and I value each student as a special person with many talents and abilities. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education with a minor in ESL (English as a Second Language) teaching. Throughout my ed

Throughout my undergraduate studies at BYU, I taught and tutored in Spanish for up 24 hours each week. I supervised 5 districts of students, 10 teachers and up to 65 students at one time, while still teaching in the classroom. Additionally, I graded papers for college-level business courses for several years. As part of this experience, I provided feedback on writing, grammar, and content. I have now been a TA for more than 30 college business courses. I have finished all pre-medicine science classes with a science GPA of 3.3. My teaching style is flexible depending upon the needs of my student(s). Some students have disabilities that make drilling or repetition styles of teaching and tutoring difficult and tiresome, while other thrive on it. Others need hands on learning opportunities and problems to work through on their own. Regardless of the student’s need, I am a tenacious teache

I love working one-on-one with students. I can see individual needs of students and work with them on overcoming them. I generally pick specific things someone needs to work on and prepare my lesson working only on that until there is sufficient progress to move on. When I teach I like to give examples of what we are working on and then allow some practice time to assess whether or not students understand the material. One of my teaching tools is making exercises that a student can take 15-20 minutes to complete outside of class and use it at the beginning of our next session as a quick review/Q&A opportunity. I enjoy teaching and seeing progress in my students. I believe most students have undiscovered potential to excel in any subject. I taught Bulgarian as a second language to college-aged students for close to 3 years. During this experience I also taught leadership and communicatio
