Enthusiastic teacher seeks to work with a young mind

I've worked in the ESL (or related) field for a total of 8 years. I was a Foreign Language Expert in China for 3 years and am finishing my 4th year as a rater for the TOEFL exam. I also taught Spanish for a year. I've worked with all ages of students as well (Pre-K to College age). I have been in the education/mentoring field for over 11 years.
I'm laid back and like to draw the student's interests. I love small details and histories and to make a student think.

Each student is important!! Every student succeeds!!

I utilize elements of each of the five teaching styles; however, I prefer the I Do, We Do, You Do style of learning. I firmly believe in providing clear instruction and demonstration of each concept. Then, the student and I work together to master a concept. After that, I provide the student an opportunity to practice and demonstrate his/her mastery of the material in a variety of situations. If the student still needs help, I reteach. I believe in positive reinforcement. Every student can succeed. No one succeeds if he/she feels unimportant or unsuccessful. Attitude is as essential to success as a mastery of content.
I have more than 20 years of teaching experience students in grades 7-12. I currently teach 10th grade English and work part-time with Han Academy. I have more than ten years experience teaching Advanced Placement Language and Composition, Advanced Placement Lit ... read more

I am an ESL teacher for a kindergarten in Seoul, South Korea. I have taught phonics, reading, writing, and grammar to ages 5-10. I have private tutored several students in English and have helped them with grammar, writing, sentence structure, word tense, and reading. I have experience in lesson planning and have worked with different English curriculum. I have experience with editing papers from students and peers. I have helped students brainstorm while writing papers.

My Job is to find "Light Switch" for their light blub

A Calm, supportive, and structured formula for growth, with take away techniques. The light bulb moments are what motives the student to learn the subject at hand. Positive, upbeat environment, to encourage rather than discourage the students continued improvement.
My experience comes from many years of Teaching, Training, and Coaching. My first teaching experience come form Douglas County as a substitute teacher mostly for the special education program. Next I have worked for Fairfax County Schools and for Fairfax County Program called SACC. My years in Richmond were with Chesterfield County Schools and Club Z Tutoring. My Last school was Meadowbrook High School in the Special Education Classrooms.

More About This Tutor...

I have been teaching students with special needs for the past 14 years. I have experience with preschool through 6th grade. I also worked at Sylvan Learning Center, where I worked with students through 12th grade. I especially enjoy working with students with Learning Disabilities, lower cognitive abilities, and children on the Autism Spectrum. I am trained in a reading program for children with Dyslexia. Contact me for more information.
I believe that every student has the ability to learn. Teachers must take the time to discover the individual needs of students in order to help all students be successful. I strive to provide individualized instruction in all areas and for all children. I firmly believe in involving a child's parents in all aspects of their education. Parents are a child's first teachers!

More About This Tutor...

My experience is one that has taken me many different places to meet many diffrent people. I have always had a gift of helping others and conveying to them my knowledge. I obtained my BA in English Communication from Talladega College and also i have a minor in History. I have had a great deal of expereince in writng papers, essays, articles ,and reports. During my time in college, I also tutored Spanish speaking students in the usuage of the English language.
I would say my teaching style is more relaxed. I believe this helps one see students weaknesses and strengths better. It also allows one to compare the overall effect of teaching for each student. When I see a student falling behind then thats when I take action and try top get them where they should be in that area.

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to find out the learning style of the person I am teaching and use that as my primary teaching style. Some people learn better by hearing, some by reading or seeing and some by doing. I think focusing on the style that the person prefers to learn and then backing it up with the other styles to reinforce what they have learned is the best way for the student to retain the information. I think it is important to include all 3 styles no matter which way the person learns best because they need to be able to learn in the style their other teachers use as well.
I began tutoring when I was a Jr. in high school. I tutored a variety of subjects for grades 5 through 8 during my last two years of high school. During my freshman year of college I tutored a classmate in English Composition I. More recently I tutored a college freshman in Algebra and some of my peers for continuing ... read more

I love teaching all children, especially adolescents. Tutoring allows me the luxury of working with students one on one and developing lessons based on their abilities and interests. Nothing takes the place of lessons that are tailored to individual learning styles. My goal is to find something -- a subject, a genre -- that will light the reading fire in my students. Nothing can improve the overall test scores as well as reading and absorbing the language and lessons of great literature. I am especially gifted at motivating children to read, and reading is the best way to gain the skills to succeed in class and on standardized tests.
I have been trained by some of the most demanding professors in the U.S., including Dr. Susan Willis, dramaturg of the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. One of my essays, "Strands of Transcendentalism in Philip Pullman's The Amber Spyglass" has been publis ... read more

My teaching style includes the ability to have a can-do attitude towards learning. I remove the "I can't" attitude and replace it with "I can". I believe the best way to learn is by doing. I also believe that practice makes perfect.
I hold a Bachelor degree in Computer Information Systems and a Masters degree in Professional Counseling. With our ever changing society, computers and information technology has become a necessary part of our every day lives. No one should be left behind in this technology age, regardless of age, sex or abilities. I have tutored in all aspects of working on a computer to include signing on, accessing file, creating word documents, creating Excel document, creating PowerPoint presentations, creating emails and attaching files, accessing and searching the internet. I have also tutored in English composition and psychology. I work well with people and ha ... read more

As a graduate student, I tutored 5th graders in Math at Montevallo Elementary School. Through this experience, I learned that all students are different and require different ways and methods of teaching. I began to understand that being “in-tune” with children’s different learning styles was very important to be successful in reaching them. I’ve also tutored a 3rd grade boy in reading for one summer. Helping the child build fluency and comprehension were my two main goals. We also worked on understanding word meaning and phonological awareness. I have also gained knowledge in tutoring my own son in all subjects.
I firmly believe that all teachers need to do the following things in order to be a well-rounded and thorough instructor: * be acutely aware of the core concepts to be taught * have deep knowledge of facts * organize related features and skills * activate learn ... read more

I worked for 11 years in Virginia as a paraprofessional in the school system, originally doing strictly homebase work with handicapped children, then moving into the schools. I worked with middle school children faced with a wide range of disabilities and disorders, including ADHD, Downs, emotional issues and hearing impairments. I have worked with many of my classmates through my college years, helping them to prepare research papers and presentations at the same time as I was working on mine. I also have a 13 year old son who has been in gifted programs since he was in the fourth grade; he is now involved in the Duke TIP program and recently scored a 22 overall on the ACT test, with his highest scores in reading and English.
I enjoy helping children discover new areas, encouraging them to move way from the trite and trivial to new and daring concepts in their research. Often a tr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every student has the potential to succeed in the area of learning new knowledge. Therefore I like to use a diagnosis method to find out the best method to reach the student. The most important facet is to build a rapport with the learner. This method has served me and the students I have worked with well through the years.
I have many years of teaching specialised reading to special needs students. I have experience in individual plans, diagnosing reading difficulties, task anaylsis in all areas of education. I have taught both general and special education, as well as youth at risk. I have a proven record of success
