High School English Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Plano, TX

Seasoned High School ELAR (English, Language Arts and Reading) Teacher, specializing in literary analysis, critical thinking and argumentation. While certified for secondary, I have experience working with elementary school students as well. All curriculum is personalized and determined through school work, test results, teacher comments, parental observations and needs-based assessments (if necessary). My goal as an educator is to expand on everything that works and change every component of everything that doesn't. I believe in teaching students in a manner that suits their needs not vice versa. Every lesson is meticulously planned. When teaching new material, the students learning style. Reteaching concepts involves a focus on the areas of weaknesses through repeated drills and exercises while tweaking areas of strength. Unorthodox is the best way to describe my teaching style.

I use a critical pedagogical perspective in teaching English to students where students have active participation in their own learning. I believe that minds of students are not considered as where information are deposited and they are actively involved in their own learning. To me education is not a preparation for life, education is life itself, as John Dewey stated. The supplementary material I use are selected based on the student's needs, interests, and background. My teaching sessions are lively, interesting, and inspiring where students feel safe and confident. I have a Bachelor degree in Psychology that helps me build a good relationship with my students. I truly believe that when one likes his/her teacher, he/she will automatically like the subject matter! i I have more than 15 years of experience in teaching English to students with different backgrounds.
