Journalism Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Midvale, UT

I Have worked for the Davis County School district for 12 years. The last few years I have been working intervention for students who are not performing at grade level. I have learned that not all kids can learn the way they are taught in school. My 8 year old is dyslexic. I Have studied the Orton-Gilingham multisensory approach to reading and spelling. I have also learned to engage children in activities that are fun and creative. I will not be doing the same teaching style as there school. ORTON-Gilingham multi sensory approach. Math without words until the concept is mastered. Using lots of manipulatives including video games, that teach concepts.

Hands on approaches mixed with worldly knowledge, and a very patient style. Experience throughout school, work and personal experience dealing with the mentally challenged and dyslexia. my best friend had a son who was dyslexic and also he had ADD and I got him to trust me in babysitting and I taught him various things. I taught him how to read and write he could not accomplish that on his own. He was 11 at the time and I think with kids you have to be creative to teach them and I am very creative. I also have an aunt who is mentally handicapped, and I love spending time with her she is a very giving person. They teach me and it is always a joy to work with them and give something back.

During my graduate year at San Diego State University in the School of Education I worked at one junior high school teaching U.S.History and one high school teaching an English class. The next year I subbed for the public schools in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I also taught Ecology and Conservation for the Camping and Education Foundation from 1971-1974, in International Falls, Minnesota. I was also a ski instructor in Innsbruck, Austria. Since then I have taught sales and marketing skills for small groups of professional adults. I enjoy teaching at all levels and seem to have a rare rapport with students of all ages. Teaching is a unique experience that I enjoy thoroughly. I excel at one on one and small group teaching/tutoring, but am equally comfortable in front of 20 or 30 students as well. My patience and love of children is off the charts. I bring a lot of life experience and

I graduated from Brigham Young University in 2008 and began teaching English right away. I teach English 11 and 12 as well as Mythology and Newspaper. I also worked at Sylvan Learning Center, which has given me good experience with working one-on-one with struggling learners. I love working with people of all ages. Everyone learns differently and I am keenly aware of it. I never quit on any student who is desirous to improve. I'm fun and clever, yet grounded when it comes to educating.

Being a recent graduate of the University of Portland with a degree in International Business and Finance, I have already had the opportunity to use my skills by working in Financial Services in London. During my four years of study at the University of Portland, I spent two semesters in Salzburg, Austria and one semester in Perth, Australia. I have received top-tier education and plan to use this to my full potential, especially through teaching others. I have been very involved throughout my college years with tutoring (mainly Math and English) and continued tutoring Elementary level students part time while I was working in London. My teaching style incorporates an initial understanding of the student. I believe that it is crucial to understand the needs, wants, and habits of the individual to get the most out of each session. I am able to create an atmosphere which makes the work see

Having recently graduated with a master's degree in Literature and Writing, during which I also taught two college-level freshman writing courses, I am well versed in literature, writing mechanics, organization, brainstorming techniques, etc. I have taught high school on the Navajo Reservation. I received an English bachelor's degree from BYU. Also, as a professional writer myself, it is necessary for me to possess a wide knowledge base: mathematics, physics, biology, ecology, geography, etc. I am also fluent in Spanish. Teaching is a personal act. Though I have enjoyed being in the classroom and seeing students develop as a community of learners, I have seen the most progress by addressing students' individual needs in a one-on-one situation. I see literature as one of most effective ways that people come to understand one another, the act of reading being a fundamentally unselfish and

I enjoy teaching students of all ages, with varying learning skills. I believe education is best provided in an environment that challenges the student, and encourages growth. My ability to assist students in retention, is accomplished by helping him/her to understand underlying principles, often through examples, discovery, and comparisons. Academic progress can be gained by genuinely connecting with students. It is my goal to allow students to expand their intellectual horizons, within prescribed educational parameters, in a way that helps them reduce their personal learning curve, and advance their confidence in the subject matter. Education can be very exciting and rewarding, given the right approach. I am waiting to receive my BS diploma, after completing a course of study in Digital Media, which also included tutoring students, note taking for special needs students, and student ad

Teaching is something at which I feel I excel. I feel the best way to learn changes in each individual. Not just children, but adults as well. I seek out the best way for individuals to learn and go from there, whether that be through reading, interaction or visual stimuli. Anyone can learn, and achieve whatever they want, they just need to find the appropriate way to do it, and find the motivation to do so. I feel I can help any child do just that. Learning has always been important to me. I've always strived to further my education and find new things to learn. I have earned a Master's degree in Integrated Marketing Communications, which involved english, writing, math, business, reading and of course marketing. I also earned a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communications. A lot more english, and writing was had, but also included a great deal of editing and grammar skills. During college

Building a good relationship with a child is key to helping them learn. When good relationships are developed children can then trust the teacher or tutor to help them in whatever way possible. This relationship builds a good emotional bank account and children will do hard things when asked. I know that all children can learn. I have seen it while working with the wonderful children at the school I worked at. I recently graduated from Brigham Young University in April 2011. I am a graduate in Communications can help in English, Writing, Editing but also took AP Calculus and AP Statistics and passed both tests. I love math but feel that communicating through writing is very important. During the last two years I have worked at an Elementary School as Para Professional tutoring children in Math and Reading both in small groups and one-on-one. I love helping children learn!

I am able to help students build their papers from the bottom up and go through completed papers and give assistance. I feel that I am able to teach and explain the elements that are required in a paper so that students may write better papers in the future. I greatly enjoy the one-on-one experience. As a former English major and editing minor at Brigham Young University I helped many students write and edit research and English papers. Along the way I also had the opportunity to edit an engineering Master's thesis. I have tutored in paper writing in various subjects as well as specifically tutoring in creative writing. I have worked with and on over thirty papers. I work very well one-on-one with students and am able to explain and teach what is necessary for better papers for the present and for the future. All of my students have received A grades on their papers.

My experience at Brigham Young University instilled in me a desire to pursue lifelong learning and to assist others in their own quest for knowledge. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in English Education and took advanced courses in Math and Spanish (I taught English in El Salvador). During my time at BYU, I fine-tuned my writing skills and also helped other students do the same, especially as I worked as an editor of a university journal. I have had the chance to present scholarly papers at professional conferences. I have taught ACT preparation classes relating to all areas of the test (math, science, English, and reading comprehension). I have also been a private English, history, and science tutor. I strive to help your child achieve academic and personal success. In my student teaching, I saw first-hand the need for students and teachers to have a relationship where

I love kids - they are often sweet, funny, easily impressed and are a great audience. I know that it is possible to make learning fun through a close, interactive relationship with a student - showing and guiding them through your own discovery of the subject. There have been times when I could feel one of my students learning; it is always a smile-provoking moment and I treasure every one. I have a Master of Arts degree in English from Utah State University and have taught EFL overseas and within the US. Recently (from 07-08), I worked as a Math Tutor for challenged fifth graders and also for Kindergarteners part-time at Lincoln Elementary in Layton while my son was in pre-school. I am competent in elementary math and sincerely enjoy helping others to find the inherent beauty of numbers and what they can do.

I am highly qualified to tutor others in chemistry, especially organic chemistry. I have B.S. and M.S. degrees in chemistry, and have almost 10 years of professional experience as a chemist. I have also been a high school teacher of chemistry and physics. I also have tutored college students in organic chemistry. I have also tutored elementary school students in math and reading. My general approach is to assess the student's learning style and adapt my assistance to that as best as I can. I want to help the student become familiar and comfortable with the subject. I am gifted at breaking the subject down into smaller pieces, allowing the student who is struggling to gain confidence. I believe in building the student's understanding of the subject into a broader context to help the student appreciate the subject more and see how it actually applies to real life.
