My comments on tutoring Elementary Phonics : My Master degree is in Early Childhood Education Pre - K to 3rd grade. I am also a certified K-12 Speech Therapist. I have been working as a teacher/therapist for 25 years. It would be awesome to work with you.

I started my teaching experience in 1994. I started out as a Speech Therapist. After that, I became a Developmental Therapist. In doing both of these, I became a part of a multidisciplinary team to test children to see if they would qualify for serves. In 1999, I received my Master of Education degree from the University of Pittsburgh, and began teaching.
All students are not the same. I believe to find the best way to teach is to listen to the student, and find his/her strengths.

Down to Earth tutor more worried about the academics than $

Anything K-12 and some college math, science, physics, psychology, and pre-med.
Tutored (recommended by school) fellow classmates elementary though college and various friends and family. Was the type of student that would teach myself and help others that were behind. I work hard to learn about others and help them in the way they need to be helped. Education is a journey and having the right tour guide is the most important part.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught in a special education setting for 14 years. I have worked with kids at all levels and with many disorders. I taught all subject areas as well. I worked with children on the spectrum and also MR kids. I have taught in a life skills classroom where we learned different ways to use our learning and take it into the community. I have written IEP's for my students as well. I have experience working and communicating with the parents and the school districts to help the students and their future.
I am consistent and organized and that is how my teaching style is and has helped me when teaching because I always had things ready to go.

I feel very comfortable dealing with the technical side of the English language--that is, the grammatical side. I am also quite comfortable discussing theme, characters, and various plot devices in novels. During high school, I excelled in the Advanced Placement English programs, and in my time at Penn State University, I have taken a number of honors courses to further my education, focusing my studies on writing; additionally, I have completed an editorial internship, writing and editing numerous articles for both magazines and newspapers in the State College area. My degree from Penn State is a Bachelor of Arts in English with an emphasis on publishing.
As a person who is both respectful and fond of the English language, I feel that I have an advantage in opening lines of communication with students. Because my area of expertise is language, I find it easy to express myself in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While attending the University of Pittsburgh I was able to experience my fielf studies and a year student teaching oppportunity at New England Elementary (West Mifflin PA). After school I was instructional assistant at McKeesport School District. This year I was a substitute teacher for Norwin, Penn-Trafford, Yough, and McKeesport School District.
I always believe that the student can learn just as much from, or even more from, each other. Not just from the teacher alone. Allowing students to share their own personal experiences, knowledge, interest, goals, and opinions in the classroom in a wonderful way for students to learn and grow, as well as for me. I have already experienced this from my field studies, student teaching, tutoring, instructional assisting, and volunteer work. I will strive to make my classroom fun, yet structured. I will exemplify my enthusiasm and love f ... read more

I prefer to begin by having the student describe the current subject matter to the best of his/her abilities to determine a starting point. I have found that having the student talk through the subject matter can be useful in determining his/her strengths and level of understanding. I like to have the student work through some problems they have not been assigned from their book/notes so that they are able to practice and work through some other problems before attempting any assignments. I have also found that it is useful to go over any previous quizzes or tests related to the current subject matter as difficulties are sometimes related to previous work because with these subjects the work tends to build upon itself.
I have been selected as a peer tutor through Carlow University for Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in a constructivist approach to education. Stusents come with prior knowledge of topics. My goal is to get those students to connect prior knowledge with new information. I also believe that there are mltiple ways that students learn. They can have multiple intelligences in several areas, such as artistic, kinesthetic, or visual and spatial. My challenge is to assess each student's learning style and then design activties that work to that style. EVery student can learn, and my goal is to facilitate that learning.
I returned to school in 2007 to pursue a career in education. In several corporate positions, I was responsible for training new employees in various store operations. I have volunteered as a teacher in my church and taught Sunday School at the middle school level. During my courses and student teaching, I utilized many hands-on and inquiry-based tools ... read more
