My comments on tutoring Language Arts : I tutor students in the following: capitalization, periods, question marks, exclamation points, and commands. They learn the following types of nouns: common, proper, pronoun and subject, as well as predicate and verb. They learn the following types of verbs: present, past and irregular (to be, to have). We learn about sensory adjectives (stinky cheese, salty popcorn). Adverbs are essential, they tell where, when and how something happens. I use tutoring materials that are colorful and geared towards the specific grade level, for example Brain Quest and Spectrum. The students enjoy these immensely.
I was contracted with the Clark County School District to tutor students in the No Child Left Behind Program in January-May 2012. I worked as a school based counselor/tutor for schools in Seattle Washinton. I have a Master's degree in Psychology.I am still tutoring K-5. I also tutor adults that want to learn English.
I am patient and kind. I have worked with various levels of learning. I am sensitive to the students needs.
