Tutor for the summer

I am a speech therapist with 11 years and experience. I have worked with students pre-k through 12th grade, primarily pre-k through 5th grade. I have extensive experience working with students on reading comprehension, answering and asking questions, semantics of language (antonyms, synonyms, multiple meanings of words, attributes, categorization), syntax, grammar, phonics and much more! I have mainly worked with kids with disabilities, including autism, developmental delays, communication delays, speech and language impairment, and Down Syndrome. I have also worked with students on math skills. I am also very comfortable with tutoring in areas such as GED preparation, as I am good at math, reading, writing, science and history.
I use the iPad (excellent resource) books, worksheets and materials I make to fit the situation.

As an editor for both a financial news publisher and a corporate communications consulting firm, my English grammar and comprehension skills had to be perfect in order to successfully convey accurate information suitable for formal publication to educated readers around the world. I have also worked in social services, both as a case manager for at-risk youth and as a case auditor, again ensuring the accuracy of language in case, contract, and project reporting. In preparation for these roles, I obtained a BA in English and worked as a peer and private tutor while working toward my degree.
I believe that every student has potential awaiting discovery, and that reaching that potential is largely a matter of recognizing individual learning styles and providing appropriately matched environments. I am patient, encouraging, and motivational. I believe in the constructivist paradig ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to match my own teaching style with the learning style of the student with whom I am working, paying particular attention to language and vocabulary usage. I also strive to emulate my favorite math teacher's ability to think out loud in teaching any kind of problem solving task.
Since completing my formal degree training I have worked in several capacities in the field of education. I taught inner-city young adults in Washington, D.C. in all GED subjects. I worked as a Guidance Counselor and Education Services Officer for the Army for eight years. In the past two years I have tutored under the auspices of Tacoma Community College in all GED subjects. Prior to my work with TCC I tutored in the Kid Reach program for three years.

A Little Bit About Me...

In graduate school, I developed a management style, Egalitarian Leadership. The faculty encouraged me to submit my paper to Harvard Business School. Currently, I am writing a middle school age novel. Prior to this, I wrote a newspaper column for two years in California. I also score state proficiency tests for Pearson Educational Measurement, K-12.
It is my experience that an instructor delivers more learning when a student has an interest in the subject. "Inspire rather than require," has far greater efficacy in delivering information. I tend to make it fun, interesting and encourage student participation and feedback. Reward, a basic human desire, engenders craving for learning. As each individual’s qualities are unique, I try to determine if one is a visual, auditory or tactile learner. Analogies often make good teaching aids. For example, if the subject were human cir ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children, especially the younger ones, but I don’t' mind working with any age groups. I believe all children can learn in many forms; some may be visual learners and some may be tactile. I believe that all children can achieve their goals if they have the right help and the right roll model to look up to. I am patient, easy going, and passionate about what I do. My goal is to provide excellence in education. I am a firm believer in teaching through practice and in providing different approaches to learning. I strive to make a difference in all my students' education and in their lives.
As the middle child in the family, I was very competitive among my siblings. I was very much driven to achieve goals that I set for myself. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BA in Theater Art and a BS in Biology, which have enabled me to gain an understanding in various ways a ... read more

Experience: covers a broad range of Student's ages. From 1st Grade up to 12th Grade. My main theme are Maths but also I do very well in Physics. I completed Engineering Studies in Peru so that's the background I can show in Maths and Science. I use to taught in the past in Peru Maths for 3rd, 4th and 5th Secondary Grades (equivalent to 10th, 11th and 12th Grades of High School). In addition I'm father of four kids. Two of them are 22 and 21 years old. My other daughters are 14 and 12 years old. I gave all of them support in Maths and Science when was required.
I'm patient and recognize feelings when somebody doesn't understand. I really believe that understanding Maths or Physics is easy when the required background is present. It's like a chain where chapters are links required to continue to the next one. If you loose one it's hard to get other. That's why the first step is ... read more

I began tutoring in sixth grade when I voluntarily gave up my lunch recess each day to help in a first-grade classroom. I continued to tutor my peers in high school. After I graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, I was chosen by the Mayor of Bremerton to teach English in Japan for three years. Upon my return to the United States, I immediately went back to school for my teaching certificate in Elementary Education. I also worked as a Para educator in a special education classroom where I continued to use my teaching skills. I’m currently working as a guest teacher for two different school districts, teaching nearly all subjects in grades K-12.
The reason I chose to go to school for my teaching certificate is that I've always been passionate about learning. I think the best teachers are excited to constantly learn new things. My teaching ... read more

Being a father myself, I am an avid believer in providing our children with a strong education. I believe all children have the ability to succeed at any subject; they just need the appropriate teaching method presented to them for their unique learning style. I am a patient, hands on, thorough educator, allowing my students to discover their own potential in a supportive environment. I am proof that a single good teacher can help a child find their passion in life, I strive to be that educator with all my students.
As a current graduate student, pursuing my master degree in chemistry I am driven to achieve a higher level of understanding during my education. During my undergraduate studies at Western Washington University, I was privileged enough to take part in research and published my work in a major scientific journal.

More About This Tutor...

I have been an elementray school teacher in Texas for the last 8 years. I have primarily focused on reading/language arts, however I do have 3 years of math experience. The schools that I have taught in had many struggling students, and I was known to be the teacher that could help bring those students up to grade level.
I believe that no learning occurs without relationships. I strive to connect with all my students. I am a passionate, charismatic, and resourceful teaching professional with a devoted interest in students’ cognitive and social growth. I seek to motivate and inspire children, as well as create a fun and challenging learning environment. I have very high expectations of my students and they quickly learn that they can achieve any task set forth with hard work and dedication.

More About This Tutor...

I chose to receive a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts, so I could study many different fields, rather than focus on only one. I was thrilled with reading and literature courses; history; fine arts; sociology and humanities. I have always had a love of reading and I was happy to share the joy of reading when I volunteered my time to help struggling and early readers in elementary school. In addition, I have developed and taught art classes for adults; as well as Sunday School classes for children.
I believe everyone learns best when the subject matter is interesting and engaging to that student. I have always tried to adapt my curriculum to the interests of my students. For example, I found many little boys felt they hated reading, but with the right books, could actually enjoy the experience. Learning should be fun! Progress of any sort should be rewarded. Children’s opinions de ... read more
