My tutoring is guided by instructional strategies that help learners make meaning. I ask learners questions frequently to determine what they understand. I adjust my tutoring techniques based on learners' behaviors. I attended a small town highschool, but excelled above most of my peers there. I was on the Honor Roll, i can honestly never remember getting any grade lover than a high B, but once. And that was in Spanish, which I do not tutor in, haha. I believe my strong point would be English. Not only am I good at it, I ENJOY it. I am also very distinguised with computer programs, mostly Microsoft programs.

I believe it is very important for children to learn to enjoy the process of learning. Every child learns and relates to new information differently, so teachers must use appropriate teaching strategies to ensure the success of their students. My goal is to help students to make better grades, but teach them HOW to learn where they can become independent lifelong learners. I graduated from WKU with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, and during this time I worked at an elementary school during their after school program helping tutor and supervise the children. After I graduated, I substituted for several school districts in mostly elementary grades, but I also worked in middle & high school. I am currently working half-time as a reading intervention teacher. My strongest subject is math and english.

I believe each student can learn and it’s my responsibility to find how each one learns best. So much of it is about instilling confidence in the student that he or she is intelligent and capable of mastering the subject. I have been very successful at this and have often had short tutoring assignments: once we discover what is keeping a student from grasping the subject, fixing it is easy and then the student can proceed on their own with or without the help of a parent. The younger the student, the more I appreciate having the parent involved in what I am doing, and the results we are achieving, so they can actively participate with their child, especially once I am no longer needed. I am a 60-year old man who has taught every subject at every grade level as an artist in the schools for over 35 years. I currently substitute in all the grades in Hart County so I have had to demonstrate

i am a firm believer in teaching each child as an individual, suitable to their own strengths and weaknesses. I love working with children and have a very nurturing personality. I treat each and every child like I would my very own. I believe giving a child time, attention and access to the proper tools can make all the difference in their learning experiences. I pride myself in being considered like a mother by a lot of the children I work with. My goal is to help children reach their potential in their learning process. As a graduate of western Kentucky University I spent my undergraduate years focused and motivated on preparing my self in a career to help and serve others.

Most of my teaching experience has been in classrooms with students from the toddler stage through 6th grade. My favorite areas to teach are phonics, reading, and elementary math. However, in the passed five years I have tutored pre-school age through adults in many areas, and homeschooled all areas in elementary and middle school. I also taught English as a second language. I love guiding a student through some difficult or misunderstood content and getting the "ahha!" of understanding at the end. My experience has taught me that all children can learn, but often in different ways. Finding the mode of learning for each student is the key. I try to find different ways to present the information until the child understands. It is also important to review and practice in order to reach the learning goal. I am a patient teacher and respectful of each student.

Teaching is my passion. I love working with students and to watch them grow and learn. All students deserve an exceptional education and they should be taught to their own learning style. Many students learn at different rates and need instruction that is based on their weaknesses. Children should be taught in a motivating, caring and empathetic environment. I love to tutor and watch as students move up in their reading, math and science levels. All students should be given this opportunity and that they do have an educator that truly cares about them. I have a Bachelors and Masters in Elementary Education. I have been a substitute teacher for 6 years. I currently work for Fort Knox Community Schools as a long term substitute teacher. I fill in for the maternity leaves, sicknesses and emergency cases. I am a perferred substitute. In addition, I have tutoring experience. All o

I have always been passionate about helping peers and younger students learn and understand new information. I have always loved reading and learning and have earned both a Bachelors and Masters Degree. I am a certified teacher, K-6, and have worked with students at varying academic levels and grades. I also served as a peer tutor during my Undergraduate career and loved assisting my peers as well. I believe that all children can learn, but do so differently. I love working with individual students to determine their learning style and adjusting my teaching style to fit their needs. I believe in hands on learning and students constructing their own knowledge in order to retain what they are learning. I love seeing the light bulb go off in students and work hard to be sure each student understands what they are learning. I have a passion for teaching and believe I can make a real differen

I love teaching and working with all different types of children. I have worked with children from all socioeconomic backgrounds and I am familiar with multiple teaching styles. I am a firm believer in teaching in a way that caters to each child. I will be patient with your child as we both discover together whay type of learner they are. I believe that this is important, as each child learns in different ways. As a person who is passionate about children, I have worked alongside them for four years. I was a camp counselor for three years running and I also took part in extra tutoring at the school where I did my student teaching. I worked alongside a child that needed some extra help in reading and math. His test scores were raised significantly in that time that I was working with him. I am very passionate about teaching children and I love to watch them succeed. I believe that eve
