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

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.
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.

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

Learning never ceases; so, why should you?

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 lives; I take what I learn from teaching and apply it to my own studies- having patience and upholding the responsibilities of being a student.
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 ... read more

Poetry is one of my top subjects! I am a published poet; both poetry analysis and writing are subjects with which I can assist.

I love to read and write, and as an English major have had a significant amount of experience analyzing literature and writing essays of various types. I have done some small-time tutoring for younger family members and friends in the past and am looking to expand my clientele.

I was apart of my high school tuturing club. I havent had any formal experience but my SAT score was 1863. I passed my Georgia High School Graduation Test with honors. I was pushed ahead in school to the point that I was done with regular classes and could have graduated a year early. I love history and english, 2 of my most favorite subjects and because I loved them so much, I excell in both.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : I have classroom teaching materials to teach and tutor Poetry and Figurative Language.

I have four years of teaching experience for both private and public programs as well as in traditional and online settings. I have experience teaching Secondary English/Language Arts, specifically at the middle school level. I have inclusion and special education classroom experience working with students with special needs, including ADD, ADHD, Autism, and Asperger's Syndrome. My experience is mainly in urban settings and, as such, I have developed and taught lesson for struggling readers and underperforming students, even with limited resources.
My teaching style is one that fosters a love for reading and I encourage my students to develop reading comprehension skills that will make reading not only more fluid but also more enjoyable. I use a variety of "text to" connections that will engender students to make personal and real-world connections to their reading. I emphasiz ... read more

Learn from a Doctor: Writing, Test Prep, Classical Languages

Each student has different needs and different learning styles. When I meet a student, I try to adapt to the each student's distinctive learning style. More generally, I engage students with the material by asking lots of questions designed to open up new ways of perceiving the material. Where possible, I try to make learning a multisensory experience, incorporating visualization of data, reading written work aloud, and listening for clues to the solution of a problem.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : Yes, as mentioned before, I'm a published poet. That does not make me an expert on the subject. I know how to write a sonnet and can show you the various rhyme schemes that pertain to the more classic types of sonnets. There are so many kinds of poems to explore! Many people think free verse is easy because there is no scheme to adhere to; however, this is not the case. If you want to learn about poetry, I can give you the basics. Of course, in college I wrote about poems for a grade and was trained in finding symbolism, meter, etc. Again, these are but fundamental aspects of poetry. The difficulty lies in the fact that poems can be very esoteric.

I enjoy humor where appropriate and am very patient with students who need time to understand concepts that are new to them.
I have extensive experience both locally and abroad teaching ESL. I taught in Korea for two years before working at a local ESL school. Within these two positions, I taught ages 5 through adult. Seven years ago, I became a certified teacher in Georgia and have been teaching ESOL in public schools since then. I have published about a dozen poems and one short story. Currently, I am working on my third novel and am looking for an agent. My forte as a teacher is discovering what a student is trying to convey in his/her writing. Para los que no hablan ingles, soy bilingue. Aunque puedo decir esto, me espanol no es perfecto.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : I have taught poetry in the Fayette and Rome County School Systems to high school students.

I opt for making the material relatable to my students, which causes it to be more interesting and meaningful. When something is relevant, it is a lot more fun and kids are much more willing to want to learn, which is, of course, ideal.
I graduated from McIntosh High School in Fayette County and studied English and Secondary Education at Berry College. I student taught for a year at Rome High School before graduating and becoming a substitute teacher in Fayette County. I have completed three long-term substitute positions, two of which put me in charge of an entire classroom with all the responsibilities of a full-time teacher. Additionally, I worked at Aloha-USA Mind Math with Elementary Students as an English Teacher and occasionally a Math teacher.
