A Little Bit About Me...

I take a servant leadership, customer-oriented approach to my responsibilities. I routinely try to answer the following question: What can I do to help students achieve their goals? For research papers, I encouraged students to pursue their own interests, such as a subject related to their major, in order to give them a better opportunity to enjoy the research process as opposed to merely fulfilling an exercise requirement.
From January 2006 through August 2008, I worked part-time as a freshman composition instructor, writing lab tutor, and teaching assistant for the English department at UNT. As an instructor, I taught two classes per long semester and one, intensive summer session. During the fall semesters, I taught Composition I, which introduced students to a variety of writing concepts, such as the personal essay and the visual text. The students wrote five papers, thre ... read more

No child left behind

I have an MBA in Marketing. I have a BA degree in Science Business Communications. I have helped children and adults with their assignments. I work mainly with Kinder through 10th grade. I help with writing, Reading, Touch Typing, Math and Science. I have helped with Marketing papers and other college assignments as needed.
Every student learns differently. I have explored the many ways to teach so that children can learn. From previous teaching experience I am aware that some children are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. I teach based on the individual learning style.

My comments on tutoring Reading : I make it a habit to read as much as possible. Unfortunately, reading books has taken a backseat to TV in recent years.

I always liked playing up my quirky personality. My favorite teachers and professors were the goofy ones, the ones who can relate to the students' fun side. These teachers also challenged me the most, and I ended up getting so much more out of the course. I figure that, if a student likes the teacher, he or she will pay more attention and have a deeper respect for the teacher. The teacher then can use this trust to push the student a little more, intellectually. I find that is what works best for me.
I don't any paid, professional tutoring experience. However, I have volunteered my services to family members and friends. During my sophomore year, I took Organic Chemistry and excelled. However, my friends were struggling. They hated me a bit for how easy it came to me. I decided to tutor them and help them with homework assignments and studying. They ended up doing very well on the ... read more

I prefer a very laid back, informal environment when I teach. I can adapt very easily, and only require that my students respect me and try their best. I can help them with the rest
I have tutored over 50 children and teens, ages 3-14, in various subjects. With my youngest students, I have helped them improve their reading comprehension and ability markedly. My older students have been teens preparing for college, and as I have done extremely well on my SATs and ACT (scores can be supplied upon request), I have been able to help them improve in that field as well.

Bilingual, Spanish/English, Tutor

My style is hands on and practical. I feel it is important for my students to understand how they can apply what they learn to real life and teach them how to problem solve when they are in difficult situations. In addition, I am very personable and I work hard to help my student achieve their goals.
I am responsible for professional development of teachers seeking ESL certification, train principals on bilingual/ESL requirements and work as an instructional coach to teachers. In addition, I provide English classes for adults in my district. In order to aid my teachers and help them keep up with the changing needs of our students, I am always researching for the most updated information in order for them to be knowledgeable on what is going on outside the school. It is important to me that I provide teachers, students and partners the best education possible.

My name is Sara Hunt - but you can call me "Lady Word-Nerd"!

This really depends on what the student seems to need. Some people are visual learners, others auditory, kinesthetic, etc. It is critical to ASK THE STUDENT what works for them!
I've practiced law, worked in broadcasting, public relations and business. I love writing and am currently working on a libretto for a musical theatre piece. I also enjoy working with young women in a non-profit here in Austin, Texas. I love to work with creative and unusual passionate people! Also, I've taught ESL courses to adults and enjoyed meeting people from all over the world.

Reading is one of my top subjects!

I taught grades kindergarten, first grade and second grade for a total of twenty-six years. Since then, I have tutored pre-k through 5th grade. My last assignment was tutoring a fifth grader in writing composition. I have worked as a tutor with several children on their reading, spelling and math skills. I worked as a UIL coach for creative writers in second grade.
To teach reading, I teach the children to use all the reading strategies used by good readers.Examples of those strategies would be sight words, visual and context clues, and phonics. Then, I prefer to use leveled readers to improve their fluency and comprehension. For writing, after assessing their composition, I work with them to improve where needed skills such as organization, elaboration, complex sentences and transitions. I use hands on materials and lots of practice to teach math.

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to avoid lecture in teaching. For me, personally, instruction comes from helping the student understand the material on their own without having to directly be told everything. This comes through in creative exercises that help the student to understand the concept better and to hold onto the idea much easier.
I have experience teaching not only at the college level, but also for grades 6-12. I was an English teacher during my most recent stay in France and I've tutored Accounting at Houston Community College. As an English teacher, I taught not only grammar and comprehension specifically to students that had issues with the grammar of English, but I also was involved in teaching Shakespeare to the students as well as many different forms of English literature. In addition, I have acted as a French tutor for many years.
