I currently tutor a 9 year old and a 13 year old, both for reading and writing. I've taken early childhood education courses before, and worked hands on in a preschool, in which I put together lesson plans and taught to the class. I'm also the oldest of five, and grew up with a big family. My younger brother and sisters (ranging from 4-19 years old) are my absolute best friends, and one of the main reasons that I have such a love for children. I've worked as a lifeguard, so I am CPR knowledgeable (no longer "certified), and have even held various babysitting jobs in the past. Aside from all of the personal experience that I have had with child care and tutoring in the past, I can honestly say I hold a true passion for reading and writing. I have hundreds of books that fill all of the book shelves in my home, and numerous journals that I constantly find myself writing in. I'm very s

I have been a camp counselor, tutor, coach and teacher. I have taught English in Ghana, preschool in Argentina and special education in the Bronx. I have taught and worked with children of all levels, ages and backgrounds. I am very strong in writing and communication, but have also taught math up to fifth grade. I have taught science and social studies up to fifth grade as well. I believe all children can learn, but that all children learn differently. Having taught special education, I had a range of grade levels in my class. Very often the students would be spread out over three grade levels. Because of this, I am extremely good at tailoring my instruction to different levels and learning types. I try many different approaches to cater to different learning styles. Ultimately, I choose the method based on it's success and also how much the student enjoys it. Ultimately, the student ne

I enjoy working with children with Autism, behavior disorders, and learning disabilities. I use applied behavior analysis and create goals for each child. I am flexible, willing to modify my approach. I want children to feel comfortable in my presence. I practice wait time and patience with each child. I feel that tutoring is a very rewarding job. My education and experience has provided me with many techniques for teaching. I cannot wait to get my Masters degree, so I will have more opportunities to teach. I was Lead Tutor at Armstrong Atlantic State University (2001-2003) in the Writing Center. I had previously tutored at Greenfield Community College in the Learning Center (1996-1998). My passion is to teach children with special needs (Autism). My BA degree was in Psychology (2008). I have tutored in in English, Psychology, and Biology. I am currently working on my Master's degree in

My teaching style is extremely dependent on the individual student, and what their particular situation calls for. As someone who struggled at the beginning of their academic career myself, I am very sensitive to such situations. I take incredible joy in learning, and I believe that any student can achieve this given the right approach. I have earned my BA in English Literature, which gave me amazing professional diversity, as well as exemplary writing skills. These skills were indispensable during my postgraduate work in Archaeology. During a five year career as a professional archaeologist I have authored many reports and presented academic papers at conferences. I have a keen awareness of how to introduce new students to complex information because I've had the opportunity to participate in teaching high school students and undergraduates about field archaeology and artifact analysis.

I am a happy, outgoing, energetic, creative, and passionate individual comfortable in any environment, anytime, anyplace, and am able to talk to anyone about virtually anything. Teaching is in my blood; a passion handed down from my educator parents who taught English, History and Economics. While my brother went on to teach Social Studies, I resisted the family path. However, as I grew older, I discovered the great fulfillment gained by watching others learn and grow through non-traditional capacities. While everyone absorbs knowledge at different speeds and in different ways, all students, regardless of subject matter, need specialized attention to truly excel. I relish working with those who wish to discover the best in themselves. I stumbled upon the joy of teaching as I helped others learn to dive recreationally in my early 20’s. When I began my real estate career, I worked pr

During my undergraduate studies, I acquired a fond interest in the study of researching, writing, and grammatical skill. I received my BA in Mass Communications and minored in English. Initially, I served as a reporter for the campus newspaper, and gradually served as Editor for two years. Investigating, researching, and editing was my top priority within this position. I have mastered the skill of writing research papers, while also being able to effectively review and edit them simultaneously. Within those years, I have assisted reporters in their research and writing to ensure a successful publication. Throughout my undergraduate studies, being able to effectively communicate with others was the primary factor. With this program of study, I have obtained the ability to constructively interact with others for positive results. All students learn differently, and will require a differen

I have more than nineteen years of professional communications experience in the public and private sectors, and have excellent verbal and written communications skills. I have been involved with tutoring and mentoring programs in the past, and have been a volunteer tutor at my daughter's school for 4 years. Though I help tutor students in all areas (e.g., math, science, social studies, English, etc.), I consider my strength to be assisting with writing and English skills. I also pride myself with being able to "connect" with students, even those who are considered "difficult", because I strongly believe in positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement is the key. When a student sees that an adult is taking an honest interest in them, then they are not only more willing to learn, but more able. Telling a child "I know you can do it" instead of "you can do better than that" is imp

One of the most rewarding things about teaching is seeing the progress a student makes, whether it be quick or slow, and one of the great things about reading and writing is that it is a skill that can only be improved upon. Reading and writing is not something that is forgotten over the summer, and once something clicks with a student, that is the most satisfying aspect of being a teacher or tutor. No learning style is the same, and I believe that the best way to learn the literary arts is to practice reading and writing. Through my experience with the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, I was expected to demonstrate a high level of expertise in my chosen field. As a writing emphasis major, I chose writing classes that focused on the principles of teaching writing and reading in a classroom setting. I also took several classes that focused on the student writer of today, and ways in whi
