Art tutor, Homework tutor, Learning facilitator!

I have worked in art and graphic design professionally for the past 6 years, however I have been freelancing and creating art for myself since 1998. I previously worked for the Hayward Area Historical Society, which included assisting in design for exhibits as well as some teaching to visiting school groups. I have also been asked to teach small groups of children about art, or help with general homework on numerous occasions.
I work best one-on-one or in small groups, I can adjust my style to what a person needs after speaking with them for a while and understanding how they learn. I've found the best way to teach someone a new way of looking at something is to understand how they currently perceive it.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : Able to help with subject

I work with all different types of learners such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and read write when it comes to students. I make sure that the children and adults will understand the course material and subject matter they are working on of their own academics.
I have had 22 years total of tutoring experience, worked for six different supplemental educational services tutoring providers, worked for three different online tutoring companies, and have eleven years of experience as an ESL Teacher. In addition, I have the content knowledge of the academic subjects, am confident, and interested in what I am tutoring. My goal with the parents is to help their child work towards improved grades, increased confidence, and performing at or above the grade level. As for adults I am knowledgeable about the subject matter and course material. Also, I do Free Talk lessons as to whatever you' ... read more

Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects! Reading comprehension is something I truly excel at, whether for the young beginning reader, the struggling student, or the advanced and hungry reader, looking for a challenge.

I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity. For younger children I work with acquiring reading skills, word recognition, pattern recognition, spel ... read more

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : What is the difference between Reading and Reading Comprehension? If you do not comprehend what you read you are not reading, are you?

I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. While teaching, I have always taken courses in the best practices of teaching as well as courses in subject matter content. I have tutored people of all ages, learning styles and needs in a range of subject matter, including testing; I ascertain how each student learns best to develop the most fitting, effective teaching strategies for them. I am considered a Master teacher as I train other teachers about best practices and have also been recognized as "Teacher of the Year.”
I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual studen ... read more

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I have much experience tutoring in this area, and have taken classes in Reading Comprehension. I understand very well what I read, and can answer questions well, about the literature I read.

My teaching style is multi-dimensional, and personally tailored to each specific student. Each student is unique and special. Everyone has a different learning style, which means each person has different need in terms of how they learn. I learn about each student, and take the time to figure out how they take in information. Also how they best understand their course material, and whether their learning style is Visual, Auditory, or Kinesthetic. Perhaps a person's learning style is a combination of these three things. When I teach, I use colors (pens/markers), diagrams, figures, counting figures(ex: colored counting bears), and a writing board to work out/solve math problems. When tutoring in Reading, Spelling, and Vocabulary I use the writing board, flash cards, and stories to help my students feel compforatble with their subjects. I listen to each one of my students, and a ... read more

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : Focus on reading speed strategies to aid comprehension.

California public school teacher for 19 years, and private school teacher for 4 years. Have lived in Bay area since 1994. Trained in common core and collaboration techniques, including "close reading". Was private tutor in mid 1990's while teaching at a Christian school. Sometimes a small group setting hinders, rather than helps a child's success at school. Open to one on one or group setting, depending on the needs of the child.

Education is key to a good life.

My teaching style adapts to the person I teach. I find a way the child it good with and go from there.
As of 2012 I am going to be a Junior in Highschool. I have passed all my classes with a C+ or higher and I am able to teach younger children great. I can relate to the kids having issues with school education because when I was younger it took alot for me to strive but I found that motivation and improved since then.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I work very well with children to help them focus and process reading material more quickly to expand their learning.

I continously tutor ages k-12, college students and international students. I have been tutoring for five years and enjoy sifting out the difficulties. Many students have trouble absorbing the material and many students read the curriculum abstractly. I help my students with processing the material easier so that we can progress efficiently.
I am very proficient with teaching my students to understand rather than just finish the activity or problem. I pay very close attention to the learning style of my students. I make sure they are focusing and learning rather than copying my teachings.
