A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of Southwestern University with a Bachelor in English and Communications, I was drawn to the field of education. I come from a family of teachers. After earning a post-baccalaureate certification in Secondary Education with a focus on English/Language Arts, I taught for a couple years and wanted to expand my teaching to younger students as well. I am also certified in elementary k-6 instruction. My passion and specialization are in reading instruction, literature, grammar, and composition. During the past ten years, I have tutored AP English, ESL students and parents, elementary students, and middle school students who wanted to improve their reading, speaking, test taking, and writing abilities.

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with children is my passion! The individual differences of my students is what drives my teaching style. As a general rule, I believe in everyone having the chance to succeed based on success for them personally. Being an educator has helped me to understand the need for teamwork between teachers and their students, parents, colleagues & administration. I find that I am most comfortable when I have the opportunity to be in front of a class of students who are eager to learn and willing to work hard. Children learn by doing, so it has always been my intent to create a hands-on classroom environment. This ensures that students will have experiences to help them expand their skills in all subjects.
I have been a teacher at the elementary level for 6 years. I earned my bachelor's degree from UT-Austin and my teacher certification from LeTourneau University. I completed my ... read more

More About This Tutor...

From my experience, I have learned that every child has the ability to succeed when given the proper tools and taught at the appropriate skill level. Often in the school system, a child struggles because they are given general class work that is too difficult or above their current level, not because they are unable to learn. I believe that a child must first have a solid foundation and the belief that he/she is capable. I work patiently with my students, employing different approaches to find the best technique for that student in order to build this foundation. I gently challenge students to continually push themselves, while celebrating in the small successes of learning. I fundamentally believe that each child is capable of learning.

My techniques will be customized to the subject and student population. One of the techniques: I will use exercises and team involvement as additional tools for re-enforcement and opportunity of exchange, so that team spirit and creative opportunities can be encouraged and explored. Students will notice how genuine my interest in education is, as I am an avid learner myself. I will also create an environment of comfort, exchanges, and suggestions. Where the subject materials and school policies allow, I may introduce additional techniques and suggestions.
I have received rigorous instruction as to punctuation, grammar, syntax, and composition rules since my years of mandatory education. The knowledge and application of the same have expanded thanks to the years spent in college and at the university, where I have also had to use the notions in order to effectively communicat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students of all ages and am comfortable with elementary through post-graduate learners. I am particularly adept at teaching writing because I have focused my approach to grammar and reading skills around writing. I possess infinite patience and am sensitive to special learners. I believe the best way to teach is one-on-one, but I can easily adapt to classes with large numbers of learners. I believe in my students and am certain that all can learn.

My teaching style is to do whatever works, and to get it done. I pride myself on working with my students on their level and being able to understand their personal barrier to grasping the material. I am very conscious of not imposing upon them the way it "should be done". The way it should be done is whatever way makes sense to them and as a tutor, I work hard to find this "way". I have developed the patience to work with students at their pace and to also challenge them to expand their boundaries. Ultimately, patience and persistence are what can be used to summarize my teaching style.
I have been tutoring since 2006 and have covered a broad range of subjects during my time. My tutoring experience ranges from helping elementary students prepare for private school entrance exams to tutoring college students in math, english, economics, and history and everything in between. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While earning my BA in economics from The University of Texas, I also completed all my pre-med courses. This has provided me with a strong background in mathematics, social sciences, and natural sciences. I have always had a strong aptitude for integrating concepts from different disciplines and exploring how they relate to one another. This skill is useful when explaining new ideas to other students in terms that they can relate to.
Attitude is the biggest obstacle when trying to learn something new. I try to make the learning process as fun and interesting as possible. When a student is struggling, I believe it is vital to build their confidence towards success. It is important to not make them feel overwhelmed, but to show them how to conquer a problem step by step. I can help provide the tools that your child needs to realize his/her ability.
