My comments on tutoring Writing : Visit https://boisestate.academia.edu/MytchEvangelista to see my academic writing both in French and English.

I teach to cater every student’s needs and their learning modality (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic). I tailor each lesson according to the student’s previous background or current level. For children, I make each lesson enjoyable by incorporating games that foster learning.

You and your student have needs. I'm here to fulfill them.

I prefer to try to be more hands-on in my approach to teaching, especially with younger children. I do know that their attention span isn't as long as that of older people, so I try to keep them engaged through short and interactive sessions.
I've completed high school and been accepted into college, so I obviously have what's needed for the lower levels of education, such as elementary students, and I maintained a GPA of 3.5 throughout my high school career, so there is a good change I'll at least be able to get the resources needed for your student to excel in the subject of study they struggle in. I'm very good with younger children, I've worked with them extensively for several years.

Don't tell me 2+2=4. Tell me WHY 2+2=4.

My teaching style differs with each child. One child does well learning by applying the material to real live situations Another does better with breaking it down and just memorizing facts I am very flexible and make an effort to find the best method to save both myself and the child time that would otherwise be wasted with an ineffective approach to learning.
Although I wish I could count the endless amount of time I spent playing teacher as a child, I know parents are looking for more expierence than an eight year old and her dolls. I have tutored children, ages ranging from eight to fourteen, off and on for three years. I have expierence and am personally more comfortable helping with English and math centered tutoring for any grade level but am able to help with other elementary level classes.I've had the privilege to help with the passionate and the difficult and have been ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing : Published Author

I use the Socratic method, meeting the students where they are, and using gentle questioning to build on that base. I start with the assumption that all children are gifted learners, and communicate that belief to them. It is essential to create a base of success upon which to build future success. I also spend time finding something to like deeply about each child; and discovering what the child is interested in. When an adult takes an interest in the child's world, and shares that interest in a positive reinforcing manner, it opens to door to learning.
I have taught internship classes and tutored statistics at the University level. I have tutored mathematics from elementary to calculus at a junior college. I have been a GRE instructor for the Stanley Kaplan company I founded, owned and operated the Idaho School of Professional Hypnosis for 10 years, teaching hypnosis and hyp ... read more

Writing is one of my top subjects! What do you want to gain by what you're writing? What do you want to accomplish? To whom are you talking? Why should they read what you are writing? Is is simply creative and poetic? These are some of the questions that are pertinent to a great writer. I have written emails, expositories, poems, manuals of operation, speeches and small books. I have proofread books for authors who are published.

I taught at an outdoor school for 1 year in the Bahamas teaching responsibilities to kids ages 6-12. I have tutored adult English as a Second Language learners for 8 years. I tutored elementary students for 1 year in all subjects. I have tutored students in Spanish for 8 years (ages 3-18 and adults). I tutored for 3 months an ADHD 6-year old student. I tutor College of Western Idaho Students who are obtaining their CNA Certification. I also tutor ESL students as their English as a Second Language Instructor.
Hands on, activities driven. Very interactive. Goal setting that can be obtained for success development. Conversational when needed.

CERTIFIED ENGLISH TEACHER

I differentiate my teaching to try and match the current abilities and learning styles of the students. I want to know what the student knows, and then begin to teach them something new. I will demonstrate, guide the student through a few examples and let them do it on their own.
Student teaching at Rocky Mountain High School, in Meridian, Idaho. Taught English to sophomores and seniors. I have taught as an observer in middle schools and junior high schools; South in Boise, Idaho, Rober Stuart Junior High in Twin Falls, Idaho, and at Pathways Middle School in Meridian, Idaho. I tutored at South Junior High in the Avid program and in a ESL tutoring room in the same school.

LEARNING SHOULD BE FUN!

i believe that my teaching style must match a student's learning style. I will incorporate visual, auditory, and kinestetic methods into learning.
I have twenty-nine years of experience in education. I served as an Elementary School Principal for 15 years. I have taught in grades 1, 2, and 3 in several school districts. I enjoy working with people of all ages. I believe that learning can be fun with varied activities to meet the specific needs of each student. I have a big bag of tricks, activities, and insight!

Let's learn academics together.

I aim to work with people, by basically a read of the person and then testing them if I need more information. This then gives me the opportunity to relate to them on the many levels an effective teacher has to relate to make the child successful. The idea is to figure out what works on a given student and take their strengths and develop them. This is best done on a case by case basis and focusing in on improvising to cater the lesson to their desires. "If you're not on your toes here, you're not doing it right" is my motto.
I have worked hard at learning German. Although all I speak right now fluently is German and English, I am working on French as well. Having this cornerstone in languages is very important to success as a tutor, because unless you can explain things, you're unable to succeed. I also think in a very step-by-step process, and found that this brought me ac ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have had the opportunity to work in the role of tutor for the past five years. I have worked in a correctional setting helping individuals prepare for the GED tests in math, writing, reading, science, and social studies. I have also had the opportunity to tutor younger students in a private setting in the subjects of reading, math, and science. I have earned my bachelor of science in sociology from Boise State University and have been involved in education in one aspect or another for the past nine years.
I am passionate about learning and education. I know that all children have the ability to learn and excel in all subjects and that the positive effects of that success can last a lifetime. I approach teaching through positive communication and interaction. To be able to learn, a child must trust the teacher and develop the motivation to learn. Through consistent work, enthusias ... read more

Working with such a diverse population of students ranging from grades 3-12, I have learned that each child processes information in different ways. Assisting them in overcoming their learning disability has taught me to understand and identify their struggles and how they can work through them. I teach positive social and communication skills through small group discussions and lecture based presentations. Much of my teaching experience is rooted in one-on-one and small group interaction. I believe that every child has the right to an equal education and that every support service that is available should be provided. I truly enjoy the challenge of motivating a student through difficulties they may encounter in academics. I have the ability to relate quickly with students which helps develop a trust that will result in progress for the student.
For the past 2 years since gra ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching. While I have also been a counselor and administrator, I managed to be able to at least tutor along the way, with a few exceptional years. I found that children were especially responsive to me, so I often found myself with elementary children (who, under my tutelage, managed to "catch up" an/or improve their grade point average -- often to their parents' delight). Since I love learning, children and teens "catch" my enthusiasm, and invariably get caught up with my honest excitement about a suject. Learning is a terrific discovery process, and mastery of data and sills makes one far more confident. My enthusiasm is absolutely sincere (you cannot act out a love for learning, without being discovered). As a tutor, I quickly find out the level a student is performng in (there are practical ways, even without achievement tests), and I soon am able to ascertain his motiv ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After 10 years in the magazine and event business, I moved into teaching technology at a small, local high school. In addition to teaching, I earned my credential and masters in education during the first three years. My background in editing and love of computers has proven very valuable. Although students are using computers, they need review and practice in English grammar, writing strategies and punctuation as an essential part of each lesson. My expertise in journalism, editing and interviewing has come in very handy. In addition, I am often called to teach not only students, but provide staff training and informal one-on-one tutoring. I am versed in several software programs including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Freehand, FrontPage, as well as some database development applications.
Working in a small school, I was lucky enough to learn that develo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been involved in offering educational services since I was in high school, when I tutored younger students in math, Spanish, research writing, and general elementary subjects. A career in education was a natural choice, and I have taught both ESL and Spanish, with experience in elementary and secondary teaching, as well as teaching online.
Having taught small and large classes, as well as one-on-one, I am a firm believer in the benefit that one-on-one and small group instruction can offer for students. As a teacher, I love being able to identify and capitalize on students' interests and strengths. I believe that all students can learn, and fully embrace and utilize the concepts of learning styles and multiple intelligences to help all students find success, regardless of the area of study.
