Great lessons made fun!

I use common phrases to start and then continue with common verbs and increase the vocabulary with common everyday words. I use my fun, outgoing personality to make sure that the lessons are not only fun but also stick in he mind for maximum retention of each lesson.
I lived in Brazil and taught English to Brazilians. I also taught Portuguese to Americans who were living in Brazil. When I moved back to the US, I started teaching English to Brazilians and to Spanish speakers. I was certified buy two different schools in Brazil and a course taken and passed in Miami, FL.

I enjoy teaching and working with children. While I believe that all children can learn, they do so in their own ways and at their own pace. It is the tutor’s responsibility to ensure that the student(s) understand the material. It is important to show students how one idea builds on the last. I will help your child learn the material in his/her own way. I consider myself to be patient, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable of the subject matter. I truly believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I am very proud of the kind letters of thanks that I have received from parents of some of my students this year.
As an engineer and I have taught planners and engineers how to use software to do calculations. I have taught GRE preparation for Kaplan (analytical and verbal reasoning) both to small classes of 3 to 7 ... read more

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I currently teach reading comprehension.

I have been a teacher for 40 years. I retired because family care-giving required my full attention. My studies prepared me to teach and my experience prepared me to meet the needs of each student. I am experienced in all areas of Language Arts; reading, writing, grammar and literature as well as elementary math, history, psychology and the arts. I can help students with the organizational and learning skills that are important in a student’s success.
I have always been a teacher. I taught swimming when I was 14 and French to fifth graders when I was in high school. I love working in education. I believe that all people, young and old, can learn and reach their potential. My teaching style is calm and patient. I have a good sense of humor and am creative. However, I have high expectations for my students and for myself. I find joy in learning and believe that teaching a ... read more

I enjoy interacting with the children and the parents. It is important for everyone involved to participate in the process in order to see true academic success. I believe true academic success is improving in all areas even if it is a small improvement. My approach to teaching students includes first making sure that they understand the question or problem that is being presented (re-wording the question or problem), secondly I encourage the student to attempt to answer at least part of the question, and thirdly I would provide additional clues on how to resolve the remainder of the question. I firmly believe that all children are capable of reaching their full potential. I enjoy making a difference to our future leaders' lives.
While earning my Masters Degree in Computer Information Systems, I have tutored students in the area of Reading and Math. In the area of Reading and ... read more

I have been a spanish tutor on high School level for 2 years and I also tutored spanish for adults on and off for more than 2 years.

I bring my own material and focus on a lot of verbal activity. Students/parents may request what needs to be worked on more/less and also bring their own books and material to use. We use viedos, audio and ogher fun material to help learnng in a fun way!

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I am a Reading Specialist at a local private school K-12.

I have been working as a teacher for three years now. I enjoy working in a private school setting (two years experience) because I can devote more time to lesson planning, after school, and creating individualized/small group curriculum as there are less students in the private school I teach at. I am the Reading Specialist and I love my job. I myself had to learn to cope with dyslexia and ADHD. I know what students are going through because I have experienced it first hand. I teach a great deal of students who have learning disabilities as well as ASD. I create and implement my own lessons.
This depends on the student. I can teach verbally for students who are auditory learners, visually for student who are visual learners, and kinesthetically for students who are kinesthetic learners. I know that every student can learn, it just depends on finding the specific learning style fo ... read more
