A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience tutoring in high school age students in grammar, composition writing, and journalism. In addition my years of experience as a journalist in Columbus and Elyria has given me the needed perspective of diversity as well as provided the necessary experience of managing others. I have worked with young people at all levels of understanding of the English language, from needed help with figuring out the difference from a verb and an adverb, to understanding the purpose of an independent clause and a dependent clause.

Experienced teaching students with learning differences

As an Intervention Specialist, I taught in an urban setting for five years. Presently, I enjoy being a substitute teacher in my local school district, Avon Lake City Schools and other districts near Avon Lake. The different teaching experiences I have continued to enhance my ability to relate and understand individuals with a learning differences. I have always been very dedicated to all my students and customize homework to strengthen their knowledge that creates a positive attitude for their involvement with learning. I have created tactile materials created specifically for students.
Students learn in a positive learning environment. Everyone is unique thus everyone has unique learning styles. I focus on the positives each student has achieved and then, together the student and I strengthen the areas that need improvements. For example, there has been a recent emphasis on time t ... read more

Because I enjoy the learning environment and have been in one for 16 years, I have learned much about it. Everyone learns differently, and I feel that it is important to understand the student's easiest way to learn in order to proceed. I believe offering students the chance to use their imagination and to encourage creativity is the best approach to education. Whether it is through mental imaging or hands-on learning, each individual student deserves a chance at better education.
I am a recent college graduate and I am looking for employment within my field. I have two years experience tutoring an elementary student. I worked with a student in second grade and tutored her in both Math and English. Because her mother and I communicated regularly, she was able to tell me of improvements and areas of subjects that needed more attention. I am very enthusiastic about being able to w ... read more

I have 25+ years in education primarily with grades 1-8. I am currently a Library Media Specialist. I have experience working with children one on one or in small groups. I am comfortable with technology, teaching reading, phonics and math.
I enjoy working with students and have had good success motivating students to excel. I especially empathize with students who do learn in the "cookie cutter" environment of traditional schools. Each student learns differently and can achieve success when their unique learning style is emphasized.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a high school student, I attended Tiffin University to gain college experience and credit earlier than expected. After graduating from Clyde High school, I went on to Ohio State Mansfield, where I majored in psychology and special education. I am currently a full time student at Ashford University online. I am studying to become an advocate for special needs persons and children. I have been tutoring students professtionally for the past year. I specialize in reading and math. I have experience with k-12. I am also comfortable with special needs and developmental disabilities.
My teaching style is basic. I feel it is most important for a student to grasp the basics before they can move on to more complicated subject material. I also am a strong believer of parental involvement. A parent knows their children's learning patterns best. I like to use different approaches. Activities ... read more

The methods of teaching I was instructed when I obtained my Bachelor in Education at the University of Akron Ohio, from 1989-1991, was the following Integrated, Whole language approach and Montessori. The method we were instructed to use in the Akron city school system was Integrated which uses basic and whole language approach language Arts. These integrated units allow us the opportunity to make sure children are learning relevant information and applying that knowledge to real life scenarios. Language Arts is what I use in all my teachings and lesson plans.
My experiences as an educator have been numerous and continuous throughout my life. I have a Bachelor in Education 1-8th (Science) I have taught all subjects. Actually I am multilingual.

I obtained my BA in Social Work and have worked in that field since 1993. In 2005 I began a part time job as an Adult Education instructor for Sentinel Career Center where my primary focus was language arts/writing. I was part of the STAR reading program where I became certified to teach adults to read. In this program and as a GED instructor I have tutored many individuals of varying ages, education levels and backgrounds. In my work as a social worker, I work primarily with children with mental health issues/learning disabilities where the focus is on behavior, organizational,study and communication skills and parenting education.
My teaching style is not typical since I am not a certified teacher. I am creative in my teaching style using a variety of techniques. I understand that each child and person learns differently (Auditory, Visual, Tactile) so I try to discover the ... read more

Upon graduating from Ashland University with my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education, I began teaching 3rd grade at a charter school in Lorain. Soon afterwards, I started my classes to obtain my Master's Degree in Teaching and Curriculum, which I acquired in May of 2008. After 3 years of teaching I decided to take my experience to the Lorain Public Library, where I am currently employed. I am the system wide story teller and I travel to the branches to deliver story time programs to children ages 2-8 years old. I spend a lot of time gathering and preparing materials, so I am familiar with all the resources needed to create memorable and educational programs. In addition, I have also tutored many children in an after school setting.
My focus as a teacher is on empowering students to reach their full potential while providing them with a quality education. I have a strong passion ... read more

I have always been a tutor of sorts. I love to teach kids because of the sparkle they get in their eyes when they finally understand what they are being taught. Each child have a different learning style so I try to work with them to see what works for them. I have worked with kids who have ADD and the gifted. The greatest thing I can teach is that we can teach to create intelligence, but wisdom comes from using all that you know.
I started tutoring in 7th grade back in 1976. I have been tutoring my own kids for over 14 years. I have been a Scout leader for over 9 years. I worked with boys ages 5 to 18 years of age. I have brought 2 learning disabled teens into my home to help them graduate High School. Both have gone on to be Certified Welders. I have presided over the Parental Acceptance Committee for both Fremont and all five of WSOS HeadStart Counties and all the cent ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I thoroughly enjoyed the Marketing and Public Relations field, but I never could have imagined the fulfillment I would recieve within education. I love to challenge my students and show them just how much they can achieve through hard work and dedication. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child's face when they achieve a good grade or positive praise. Each time I tutor a child, my day is brightened- how lucky am I!!??
After working in the Marketing/PR field for 5 years, I relocated to Puerto Rico to be with my husband. Not having a solid foundation of the language, I could not obtain a job in my previous field. It was at this time that I discovered the world of education. I began substitute teaching at the Department of Defense School and continued doing that for one year. We were then relocated to Savannah, GA and I was hired by a private school to teach 6th and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having worked for 40 years in the military, for-profit and not-for-profit organizations and a city government I retired early to begin a new career in teaching and tutoring. I have substituted in urban and suburban schools covering topics for students from pre-K through 12th grade. I have been teaching now for 4 years and tutoring for 1 year. It is a thrill to be able to guide students through the learning process. And it is a constant challenge to keep current and prepare for substitute positions. I have a B.S. in Business Administration which I earned in the evenings while on active duty in the Army. And an MBA with dual majors in marketing and health care administration.
I enjoy working with students of all ages. My teaching style is nurturing and patient. Everyone learns at different speeds and no one approach works for all students. With children the involvement of a ... read more

I am very patient and concerned. My major objective is to identify the area that needs to be addressed. I often also use comparisons to 'real world' similarities in order to make the point. It is also necessary to understand how a person perceives, rationalizes and applies information, as every person is different in this process. The relationship that is developed between myself and the student must be on an even level, in a non-threatening environment.
Over many years as an IT person, I worked with clients, one on one, teaching them how to get their computer to do what they want it to do. Often times, the client would be very frustrated. I needed to first, relieve the frustration – then determine what needed to be done to rectify the situation (through a question and answer processes). Additionally, positive reinforcement is needed throughout the learning process to allow fo ... read more
