Reading is one of my top subjects! Throughout my teaching experience I have encountered students of all ages and abilities, from elementary students with reading difficulties to adult learners of ESL. My approach to teaching tutees how to read is tailored to each student's level because I believe that every student is unique with their own set of strengths and weaknesses. While I enjoyed teaching reading at High Point Elementary, I love one-on-one tutoring because of the complete attention I can pay to each student. My personality is encouraging, positive and patient, and that has served me well in building relationships at WyzAnt Tutoring and Thumbtack. My role is to help the tutee express themselves, use English correctly, and help expand his or her knowledge base.

My tutoring style is serious yet fun, and I bring a lot of patience and enthusiasm to my tutoring sessions. Students of all ages and abilities, from elementary students with reading difficulties to adult learners of ESL, have benefited from my services. My approach to teaching is tailored to each student's needs because I believe everyone is unique with their own set of strengths and weaknesses. With a background in psychology, I bring the added skill of communicating effectively with my students and quickly understanding their needs. My personality is encouraging, positive and patient, and that has served me well in building relationships with my students.

Patience is my Virtue....Creative Writing and Reading Tutor

I have over ten years experience in the Montessori environment as a lead teacher. In addition to Montessori academics such as Math and Reading, I have been trained as a Literacy tutor. I have taught over a hundred children to read in my ten years in the classroom and tutoring reading and writing is my strength. I have published in newspapers, newsletters, and maintain a blog on Blogger.com that has almost 3000 viewers since I created it in April of 20ll. Creative writing and poetry skills are showcased in my blog Soul Warrior Awakenings.
I am a patient and compassionate tutor and I have experience breaking barriers in learning for children who are stuck because of anxiety or blocks to reading, writing or mathematics.

My comments on tutoring Reading : I am very secure in my reading skills and I have received high scores on all of my competency exams.

I have been teaching and tutoring students for more than 20 years. I currently provide online as well as in person tutoring to students in the areas of phonics and reading. I am an ESL teacher for a couple of online companies in China. I work as a substitute teacher for the public school system where I live and I am also pursuing a degree in Spanish at Arizona State University. I previously taught in a small private school that I founded. The school served students in grades kindergarten through second grade and it was founded with the idea of promoting literacy through the encouragement of world language learning. I teach beginning and emergent literacy skills in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Mandarin Chinese. I have also taught in two charter schools over a period of 15 years. During that time I served as a teacher in various areas, such as Kindergarten, First Grade, PreK, and Arabic. ... read more

Never stop learning!

I grasped the importance of education at a very young age and excelled throughout school. Early in my youth I also developed a sincere passion for helping fellow classmates who I saw were having difficulties comprehending course material. I had a knack for connecting with students, identifying the point of confusion, and creating different avenues to reach full comprehension of a subject matter. I have since went on to develop tutoring groups on all educational levels. I co-founded a youth group T.U.F.F. (Teach Us First Foundation) where we attend local elementary schools offering tutoring services in Math, English, Sciences and Social Studies. During high school I developed a teen study group entitled Let's Rap where we would meet (with professional tutors on site), assist each other with homework and discuss any material that was causing confusion in class. During my time at Albany ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I start out with discussing the area of weakness with the student and then try to investigate why this might be the area of weakness. Once this is discovered, I teach the student (through examples) until they understand the topic with which they need help. Then, I observe how they perform without my guidance and see if they have learned to complete problems solo.
Most of my experience is informal with tutoring family members/church members/friends in whatever areas they were struggling. Nearly everyone was pleased with what I was able to teach them and they showed improvement. In addition to tutoring, I have also mentored. In particular, at Emory University, I have for three years served as a mentor to incoming freshmen. I have helped them become acclimated to Emory and have also helped them create plans for courses and future plans. Therefore, I am confident in my tutoring and men ... read more

16 yrs. of instructing ESL at multiple levels: Grammar is my specialty. 5 yrs. of English Composition: primarily dealing with paragraph structure and essay development. 2 yrs. of Public Speaking instruction. 1 yr. of U.S. history taught through art and literature of specific eras. I also have an interest in Military and U.S. history.
In tutoring situations i tend to act more as an expert facilitator: I design tutoring in such a way that there are exercises with expected outcomes. This allows a "bottom up" intake of information.

Learning never ceases; so, why should you?

My teaching style is a mixture of strict and lenient. I try to form a connection with students and apply that to my teaching method (i.e. incorporating a similar hobby in a question in order for the student to understand the material better). I expect my students to give me and the other students respect- never speaking while others are speaking, no disruptions, ect. This method of teaching has shown effective and a fun learning environment. I base my curriculum around the importance of reading. Reading is the easiest and most effective way of obtaining knowledge and using it in the world.
I have had the honor of working with many kids in regards to a variety of fields. My experiences taught me responsibility, patience, the importance of learning and education, and much more. The various teaching opportunities I have been fortunate to have have impacted my social and educational li ... read more

Teaching the way that my students learn best.

I have teaching experience with both general education and special education on the middle school level as well as the elementary level through my private school experience. I am currently a general education reading teacher who has high expectation of all of my students. My teaching experience includes working with general education and team taught settings with students who have various IEP’s goals and objectives for the past 6 years. As a teacher, I think that it is very important to meet the needs of the whole child as well as their educational needs. I strive to show my students respect, honesty, kindness, and a kind heart at all times. In doing so, I have achieved many success moments with encouraging my students to meet their goals and objectives. Furthermore, my current position enables me to provide my second language learner students with “fundamental reading skills” ... read more
