SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Serafina, NM

I have extensive experience teaching all aspects of English, writing and composition, grammar, and literature. I have taught at University of New Mexico for the past seven years during my graduate work, and as a part-time instructor. In my teaching I commonly have worked one-on-one with students in the writing process. I am also a poet and creative writer with a broad base of knowledge in the humanities and arts to draw from. Though I have been working with college students, I love younger students as well and have much patience and adaptability with learning styles and levels. I believe that listening is a key to helping a student succeed in a subject matter that may not come easily to them. Building on a child's strengths and trying to find a "way in" that makes sense to them is a good strategy. Using creativity and "outside the box" approaches to learning can help a child access their

I have extensive experience in education in a variety of learning environments. I began my apprenticeship in academia as a peer tutor for the College of Santa Fe's Student Support Services/TRIO Program (program of academic support for first generation, low-income students and students with learning differences or physical disabilities). I tutored students in writing, biology, religion, philosophy, political science, literature, psychology, Spanish and cultural history. I worked with traditional-age college students and adult students, students with a range of learning styles, and students from diverse cultural backgrounds. As an academic adviser and tutor coordinator for the TRIO Program and adjunct faculty in the liberal arts core, I continued to work with a diverse range of students in the classroom, in small groups, individually, and on-line adult students. I have taught writing for

I have classroom experience at the elementary and secondary level. While working on my AA degree I worked at a high school in a Language Arts class. Earlier in my education process I worked in a 2nd grade and a 3rd/4th grade class. I worked as a sub at the middle and high school level. I have extensive knowledge in all Humanities subjects, especially writing skills. I can utilize a myriad of different methods to meet the learning needs of a diverse student population. I especially like to use methods my students can relate to or connect with their own lives. My philosophy for effective education is comprised of six components creativity, character, culture, civic capacity, shared governance and student centeredness. I believe student centeredness is the trunk and the other components are the branches. Each component is connected to the other and they share common characteristics. For me

I am a patient, student-centered facilitator of critical thinking and writing skills. With specific training in writing pedagogy, I see the best results in small groups or with individuals when the process of writing can be explored through creative catalysts designed around the specific interests and strengths of each student. Once students understand that they can learn the skills needed to express their ideas through the process of writing (the discovery of ideas through drafting, focusing, revision, and editing), I usually see tremendous improvement in their writing assignments. As the first in my family to earn a university degree, I have a strong connection with students of all ages who need educational support. I have more than 20 years of experience teaching English and writing to a diverse range of learners from middle school and high school to PhD research students. While work

I have worked in both industry and government working on a worldwide basis with people of varying cultural backgrounds. I have traveled extensively in my profession. Over the last several years I have been involved with several business and working extensively with the Native American pueblo communities. In terms of tutoring, teaching, or mentoring I have worked with children of all ages in reading and math tutoring principally as a volunteer. Professionally, my work has been in mentoring young adults and technical training. In teaching I am basically a generalist and humanist. My background is in mathematics and the sciences, but with a solid foundation in the humanities. Practically, I have never stopped learning something new and in addition to my formal credential I have done university course work in languages, forestry, animal husbandry, and sports training. I believe my teaching s
