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

I am a culinary school graduate and a full-time chef. As part of my chef-ly duties, I regularly find myself teaching cooking techniques and helping people become more comfortable in the kitchen. When it comes to writing, that I do more for my own amusement, but I have always considered myself more of a writer than anything else. I have experience and enjoy training youth in resume writing and goal setting. I am an extremely patient person. My teaching style stems from that. I encourage those I tutor to set goals for what they want to learn or accomplish and then assist them in working towards those goals.

ORTON-Gilingham multi sensory approach. Math without words until the concept is mastered. Using lots of manipulatives including video games, that teach concepts. 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.

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.

From such a variety of teaching experiences, I have acquired a strong passion for teaching and also learning about new ways of improving education wherever I go. My love for teaching has also been greatly enhanced by the observable results of effective education methods in the lives of hundreds of students and fellow teachers that I have been privileged to work with. I strongly believe that a teacher must first be a friend so that the student can develop trust and feel comfortable throughout the learning process. I also think that educational experiences should help the student to develop a strong work ethic, but also learn to love the specific subject through fun and creative teaching methods. I am a very fun and creative person, who loves to work with people of all ages and teaching important subjects. I have a very outgoing personality and truly enjoy helping children and yo

I earned a bachelor of science degree in International Business & Finance from Arizona State University. Some of my coursework completed in school includes:finance, accounting, international business, operations management, business writing, philosophy, political science, & english. During the last 18 months of undergrad I tutored high school students in algebra I & II & geometry. I love working with all ages but I believe K-12 fits me best. I try to encourage students to do and be their very best by telling them "they can do it" & being optimistic. I'm a very compassionate person and believe all students have great potential and it shows with how I converse with all students. Personally, I find helping others help themselves is very rewarding and uplifting. I love to see student's eyes light up when they solve a problem or understand a concept... This is why I continue to be available t

I am a results driven teacher. I will try different approaches to get my student to understand the consept at hand. I feel that I am very patient and understanding, and that I can explain concepts in multiple ways to help my students understand what I am teaching them. While at BYU-Idaho I felt that I gained a strong writing skills. I felt that I really learned how to learn durring my undergraduate experience. I chose to continue my education by attending law school. In law school my writing skills and my ability to analyze and solve problems dramatically increased. Durring my educational experiences I have been in multiple study groups, and have helped others learn course materials. The greatest ammount of teaching experience that I gained was while I served as a Missionary for my church. For two years I spent most of my time teaching and explaining religious beliefs to others

I discovered my teaching techniques while working as a tutor and have perfected them for the past seven years as a mother of four young children. My main goal when tutoring or teaching is to guide the student to the answer through their own knowledge. I have found that by sharing the necessary tools for learning has been so much more beneficial than just offering the easy way out. I have also discovered that by applying the dilemma to the student’s life, the answers seem to appear more easily to them and become applicable in more ways than just an answer on a test. I was lucky enough to spend four years doing what I love: reading and writing. I graduated from BYU-Idaho with a BA in English, with an emphasis in literary studies, and a minor in Humanities. I spent 2 years tutoring students in the BYU-Idaho reading center. My experience ranged from beginning readers to college level spee

I taught in a bi-lingual charter school and worked with students from many diverse ethnic backgrounds I also substituted in my off-track time for ESL instructors and Special-Ed students with learning disabilities. Each year I taught I attended special seminars on reading development and literature. I enjoy teaching and working with children of all ages. I received an award for classroom management, and work well with students who are learning English as a second language. I believe all children have the potential to excel if given the opportunity. I believe that attitude and approach create the climate in a classroom. I believe that learning is growth and not accumulation. I also believe a student must believe a teacher cares before they will care what a teacher knows. It is also important for a teacher to help a student develop positive self-esteem.

The hallmark of my teaching style is patience. If students do not immediately grasp a concept, I accept and relish the challenge of finding a way to reach through the barrier. I have found my greatest success is achieved when foundational concepts are built or re-built. A step-by-step approach usually works best, but I have developed great flexibility from working with students who function across a wide range of learning challenges. The early years of my experience were in the junior high setting. I taught sixth through ninth grade during this time, drawing heavily on my background strengths in theater, literature, grammar, creative writing, and my years as a legal secretary. I developed curriculum for the English department and was instrumental in launching an exploratory study system for alternative, creative learning. For the last twelve years, I have taught basic writing for the

I have explored the learning process in every capacity. As someone who has experienced the frustrations of learning while having ADHD and dyslexia, I have struggled with the learning process, examined it critically, and have succeeded. Additionally, revising, presenting, and publishing articles and papers has not only polished my knowledge of writing but has led me to teach these skills to others. I first tutored writing my senior year in high school. Two years later, after two month's training, I taught English in Mexico for three months to students at all levels and of all ages. Finding the experience to be a rewarding opportunity for both teaching and learning, I returned to my university’s writing center to tutor for the next year and a half. My one-on-one collaborative tutorials in writing, organization, grammar, and revision were coupled by 50-minute classes on speed reading

As a graduate with my BA in English I have developed by ability to discuss and discover new solutions and alternative ideas. This has also inhanced my skills in communication, both oral and written. Over the past year I have also done substitute teaching at a local charter school. This experience has furtherd my desire to interact and contribute to our youth. In the pursuit of my own education I have learned that a teacher who is truly in this field because they love it are the ones who are best at it. That dedication stays with students for a lifetime. Because there are different stratagies that will work for different students, my focus is on finding a technique that will work for a particular student.With my patience and determination I can help provide an upstanding education for students.

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 world travel to the table, so I can easily create an important bond with most students. My strength is inspiring students to learn not only with me but in all of life and to pursue their best in life. My life experience has been so rich, multi-cultural, international that I can easily come up with inspirational materials that will "light the fire within" any student. 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, Col
