Available 7 days a week.

I am currently entering my senior year at the Woodlands High School seeking any opportunity to earn money to go towards college. Throughout all of my years of high school, I have taken multiple advanced placement and honors courses every year. Previous employments at companies like Shankz Blacklight Mini Golf, and Yucatan Taco Stand have honed my people skills, making it much easier to conduct myself in a public, and especially teaching environment.
Audibly or visually, mainly going over paperwork and explaining strategies one on one or to a small group.

Reading, Writing, STAAR Preparation (Testing Skills)!!!!

I have been in the field of teaching for 16 years. I have a wealth of experience working with students in various settings, cultures and at different academic levels. I am a Language Arts/Reading/Social Studies teacher during the school year. I love to help students with reading and getting them hooked on books. I can help your child improve their reading and develop a love for it. I have also taught intensively to prepare students for the STAAR test in reading. I can help your child with strategies that are sure to improve their score or make them confident and comfortable going into the test. I also have a passion for writing. If your child is struggling with writing skills, craft, or conventions, I can help him/her.
Finding a point of interest that motivates a child is extremely important. Reading and writing can seem like chores or homework for students, but helping th ... read more

An understanding tutor

I have worked with all grade levrls as substitute school teacher with range from pre k to 12th grade and worked for a tutoring company while turoring an elementary student in math. I have a masters degree and while obtaining my degrees, I am very familiar with test preparation. I have taken basic computer classes in the past and I am more than able to teach the basics such as how to save a file.
The teaching style that I have always promoted is to recognize that everyone learns on a different level and at a different pace. Therefore, a step by step instructor is needed and that instructor has to know how to meet that individual needs based on what they know not what I know. You find alot of college professors teach lessons based on what they know and their experience not realizing that the some students learn at different paces. I experienced this as both an undergraduate and g ... read more

Read More About Kristen S...

My tutoring began in high school, when I tutored younger students in any subject, from Math to English. I learned to love tutoring. I enjoy helping people to realize their full potential. The most rewarding part of tutoring, in my opinion, is the look on the child's face when something finally makes sense. I have obtained a BBA from the University of Toledo. While in college, I spent a year as a tutor and mentor to younger students, and to help teach a Freshman Orientation course. I have also been responsible for training new hires at my last place of employment. During my two years, I trained 4 new employees in my department, as well as cross-training 2 employees from other departments.
I believe that teaching should be a collaborative process. The first step is to listen to the child and try to gain a sense of their own learning process. If you understand how the child learns, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having taught, elementary, middle, high school, and adults; I have discovered that learning can and will take place. The type of learning that needs to take place depends on the type of teaching that is facilitated. Without teaching; guided, organized, purposeful matriculation in an environment–laden with material and visual information intended to enhance and frame an individual’s knowledge and skill set; the type of learning we desire, will not occur. What and how we determine to be the most effective methods in addressing the academic, social and emotional needs of our students, will be reflected in our teaching.
For the last 23 years, I have educated elementary, middle, high school and adult students in all subject areas. I also served as a Language Arts Tracher/Trainer in the U.S. Peace Corps. As a special educator, I taught students with behavior problems and learning disabi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a student of history and believe that knowledge acquisition comes from interest and enthusiasm on the part of the learner. This interest comes from having an instructor who them selves is a learner. A partnership in the tasks being presented usually results in the student wanting to understand the information and making connections. To promote critical thinking I present the material in a global manner, allowing the learner to relate the information/skill to the real-world.
Creative, innovative, and interesting lessons are my forte. I am experienced in providing a constructivist-based approach to knowledge acquisition. Hands-on lesson promote student involvement and increase the development of student responsibility towards their education. I have found that a cross-curriculum approach to the material being presented fosters true understanding and relevance.
