Accomplished writer and editor here to help!

I was an English major and worked at the University of New Mexico for seven years. In that time, I was a mentor/tutor for the College Enrichment Program, editor for the Blue Mesa Review, teacher's assistant for a children's literature course, and participated in several creative writing workshops. I have a lot of experience working in an educational environment.
Patient and nurturing. I understand how it feels to be a slow learner.

EXPERIENCED IN ACT PREP AND ALTERNATIVE LEARNING STUDENTS...

I am a licensed Social worker with tutoring experience in and out of college. I have the most experience in tutoring Algebra and other math. I have a student now that I am helping with AP English who has dyslexia. I enjoy watching her grammar skills increase and her overall understanding of the concepts develop. I am great with any age individual and have the patience it takes to work with any kind of student (special needs included).
I believe that people learn the best when they understand the meaning and logic behind what they are learning. When a student can see a pattern develop they develop an understanding that can be universally applied to many different areas of study and life circumstances. Learning is different then memorizing. It is especially important to understand the concepts behind the subject matter when planning continue in a similar learning subject.

I would LOVE to help your child reach their potential!

I am structured yet kind. Kids need to feel a connection to their teacher in order to give 100%. I work a great deal on building community in my classroom and allowing kids to appreciate the diversity among themselves. Not all kids are going to excel in all areas. They need to value what they are really good at and share that with their peers. This also creates miniature "experts" which makes all kids feel good. Once a child feels successful; in one area it encourages them to tackle something they are less comfortable with.
I have worked as an elementary school teacher for 7 years. I have been fortunate enough to teach grades 1, 2, 3, and 4. In my experience I have found that children build confidence through small successes. My philosophy is to set maintainable goals allowing students to meet them frequently building confidence and motivation.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : Able to tutor students in both reading and composing poetry. Experienced as a poetry tutor for middle-school children. Expert in the formal elements of poetry, including scansion.

I have a flexible teaching style that aims to address the individual learning styles of my students. I believe in helping students reach the point where they can use the skills that I am teaching them on their own rather than relying on my services. I believe, as well, that a serious focus on learning should be tempered by a sense of fun - by making learning enjoyable.
I have over five years of experience in teaching and one-on-one tutoring with students ranging from elementary-school children to undergraduates. I worked as a peer tutor at the Colorado College Writing Center throughout my undergraduate education, helping students with all stages of the writing process. I went on to serve as an AmeriCorps VISTA at an educational nonprofit, where I helped young children to improve their literacy skills. There, I also taught after-school classes in science, homework help, and gardenin ... read more

I have worked as an English tutor at Central New Mexico Community College for the past seven years. During this time, I have tutored students from the remedial English level up to college level courses. Many students have thanked me for my instruction and said that "You helped me a lot." I truly enjoy assisting students to master the principles and concepts needed to excel in English.
I vary my style from student to student because I understand each student is unique and may require a slightly different approach.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching should be interactive; learners need a chance to do activities so they can practice and they need to demonstrate what they have learned.
As a basic literacy tutor and tutor trainer for over 20 years, I have a passion for helping people learn to read and write well. My background as a technical writer has given me a good grasp of grammar and writing structure. I have worked with a variety of people, ranging from children in the first grade to PhD subject matter experts. Each person requires a unique approach and a recognition of their individuality.

More About This Tutor...

Students need to be equipped with the research skills and ability to fetter out information from a number of different sources. The information must be timely, accurate, credible, relevant, etc. The days of going to a library and pulling volumes of texts to research substantive information has changed. Now, most students understand what a Boolean search is. However, many don’t know much beyond the internet. This is both an imperative skill as a successful student, and as a potential graduate seeking employment.
During the years I have been an instructor and tutor, I have contributed to my students’ confidence and motivation through my interactive and engaging lessons on becoming a successful student. I conduct my lessons with high energy, engaging students to participate and contribute to the discussion. I balance excellent student interaction with effective classroom management. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

With Masters degrees in Education and Library/Information Science, I have experience as an educator at public and private institutions.. With a teaching focus that has featured writing, reading, basic/advanced research, information literacy and media, I have taught students at all levels—elementary education through graduate school. Since I have a M.Ed. in Literacy and Reading, I am knowledgeable about reading acquisition, phonics instruction, reading/writing interventions and remediation. As a GED tutor for adults and teens, I have systematically worked students through all the math, reading, literature and composition content embodied by the GED.
My teaching style is very open and I am very attuned to students’ inherent aptitudes, learning needs and ways of processing information. I am very approachable, responsive, personable and believe in affirming a student’s self-conce ... read more

English is my passion. I love the written word and believe it to be the highest form expression known to man. This is why I pursued and obtained a degree in English. Though I only have my bachelor's degree, I have studied more literature than most students in the graduate program. I am also a writer on the side, mainly poetry, and have been published by several magazines. Grammar is second nature to me; I know instinctively wrong from right in that department. I don't have as much teaching experience as some, but I am thorough in my duties and eager to fulfill them.
I have always been a fiercely independent learner, and that affected my grades in high school. When the teacher told me to read one thing, I would read another. Many students are of that caliber today. As such, I am able to connect very well with the deviant pupil. As a tutor, my goal is to awaken the interest an ... read more

I have worked with students of all levels and educational needs. With my 4 children and 4 grandchildren, I have elementary, middle school and high school experience. As a teacher at a Job Corps for 7 years, I had the experience of working with non-traditional students. At Job Corps, I taught reading, developed writing skills/creative writing curriculum, and tutored students in math, health and GED prep. As a self-employed consultant for the past 6 years, I have assisted adults in various higher education programs and computer software training.
My teaching style is very flexible. I believe that a learning/tutoring program must be structured to the individual student's needs and build upon his/her strengths. Both the student and the tutor must work as a team to determine the goals of the program, set the work guidelines, establish milestones, and structure the style of the sessi ... read more

I love teaching and learning. I made the Dean's List the entire time I attended UNM. I have always had a passion for education. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education, which has enabled me to teach kindergarten through 12th grade. I also obtained my master's degree in Literacy at UNM. I was a Reading Specialist for three years and love working with children and helping them with their reading skills. During the last ten years I have taught kindergarten through High School and tutored students in reading. I have also substitute taught in an array of classes from science to social studies in the public schools.
I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe children all learn differently. I am able to individualize any lesson to meet a child's needs. I have been working with children over the course of the last ten years and am a moth ... read more
