Elementary Phonics is one of my top subjects! I love teaching phonics. In China, I even created my own phonics program for use in a Korean kindergarten. Phonics is critical to a child being able to decode new words. In addition to phonics, I also teach students other decoding strategies, such as chunking.

I am very active in the classroom and I believe in making learning fun and enjoyable. There are so many ways to help children learn, yet many of them are not used for one reason or another. If information must be memorized, I like to put it to song or a rap. Other methods of learning that are very useful are concept maps, discussions, and performing. Another very successful method that I've employed is having the student actually teach me rather than me teach the student. It is VERY effective.
I've got around 8 years of college and university work under my belt, and I am getting ready to finish a BA in Elementary Education from Western Governors University. I love teaching. I got the teaching bug while teaching English as a Foreign Language in China. I taught there for almost 9 years altogether, 1 year in Beijing, 7 years in Tianjin, and 1 year in Taiwan. I now work as a s ... read more

I can make learning fun, No Doubt!

I am a junior at EKU working toward my Bachelor of Science. Education major with concentrations in Math and English. I have tutored my mom in basic college math as well as statistics, and her grades have definitely improved. I have learned to accommodate individual learning needs and I find the results very rewarding!
I have learned many teaching styles. Each student learns differently, so there is a technique to apply to very learning style to accommodate individual needs.

My comments on tutoring Elementary Phonics : Trained in and taught Orton-Gillingham reading strategies

I am a recently retired special education teacher with 27 years classroom experience. I am currently a substitute teacher in the public schools. I have vast experience working with special needs students as well as struggling regular education students. I have direct hands-on experience working with students with learning disabilities, autism, ADD/ADHD, and sensory integration. I am trained in and have taught specific reading strategies such as Orton-Gillingham. I also have training and experience with specific math curriculum and strategies such as Math in Focus (Singapore Math)and Touch Math.
My teaching style reflects an approach that is hands-on, fun and engaging, uses humor, and lastly perseverance. I have a lifelong passion for working with children struggling to learn.

Summer Teacher Available!

I have multiple teaching styles. I tailor my teaching to each individual student and their needs. I strive to make each lesson engaging and appealing. There's no reason students should dread learning!
I'm a certified K-5 teacher, with a master's degree, focus on reading (I love teaching math too though!). I have taught for 11 years. For 2 other years I've worked with special needs students, including those with autism, cerebral palsey, and motor issues. I work hard to find ways that learning will connect with individual students. I keep up on the current research about how kids best learn. I'd love to meet you and talk further!

I have a lot of experience in teaching and tutoring. I have tutored for about 10 years now, starting with my fellow classmates while still in school and now tutoring one-on-one, mostly for elementary-aged children. I also teach - I conduct a teenage choir, taught at a Ukrainian school for 7 years (grammar, writing, reading, vocabulary), and give individual piano lessons. I've received my Bachelor's in Elementary Education and have had some experience teaching all grades K-5. I am currently working on my Master's as a Teacher Leader, with an endorsement in ESL.

I want to make a difference in a child's life. To help them understand and know the subject matter they are not understanding.I use many techniques to help a child learn.

I help my students to believe in themselves that "yes they can do it". Love,kindness,patience and respect is my motto in working with all children.

I believe all students learn differently and what we need to reach all students is to find out how they learn best and find a way to reach them that they will prove to be successful in. There are a lot of ways to reach students and when you find that one perfect way it all clicks.
I have worked in after school programs tutoring children throughout my college career. Then after my college career I taught 3rd Grade at Peaks Mill Elementary School in Frankfort, KY.

More About This Tutor...

Throughout my career, from tutor to high school teacher to entrepreneur, I have learned how to effectively convey new material to students in many ways (based on Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences), to draw on students’ background knowledge and interest areas in order to teach new material, to be patient with students who do not “get it” on the first try, and to allow students to succeed and grow at their own pace. It is my nature and philosophy to look for the best in students and to do whatever is necessary to help them perform to their fullest potential. Overall, my educational and personal experiences have prepared me well to be an educator and a lifelong learner.
In May 1997, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Lake Superior State University with a major in English Language and Literature and a minor in French Language and Literature. In May 1998, I graduated from ... read more
