Writing Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Shelby, OH

I am a recent college graduate from Ashland University with a degree in communication and French. While at Ashland as well as in high school, I was involved in peer tutoring programs. In high school, I tutored a second year student in French, mainly in grammatical concepts. In terms of mathematics, I was always a strong student in math. I completed algebra and geometry courses throughout high school. I was also a strong student in history. I completed American history courses in high school and college and even analyzed historical documents in one course. I have been playing piano for almost 14 years. I played mostly popular music such as What a Wonderful World, but I also played some classical pieces by Beythoven. I have participated in my teacher's recital since 2000 and have also participated in several talent shows at school and in the community. Finally, I have completed several sci

I have experience tutoring in high school age students in grammar, composition writing, and journalism. In addition my years of experience as a journalist in Columbus and Elyria has given me the needed perspective of diversity as well as provided the necessary experience of managing others. I have worked with young people at all levels of understanding of the English language, from needed help with figuring out the difference from a verb and an adverb, to understanding the purpose of an independent clause and a dependent clause.

I learned how to play chess about twenty years ago, it's been rather on and off since then. I've steadily improved and tried so many different ways to improve before finding the right method for myself that I'm confident in my many approaches to teaching. As far as other subjects, I graduated high school with honors back in 2003 with a 3.8 GPA, and scored a composite 30 on the ACT. I was awarded the Presidential Scholarship from Baldwin-Wallace, went there for a year, didn't like the school at all (should have researched it more...) So we have those life lesson bits too I suppose. Anyway, pretty much any subject is a go... obviously let me know details beforehand so I can brush up on things if necessary! I employ a personalized teaching style, very interactive. Instead of just answering a question or stating why something is the way it is, we'll work it out so there is real understanding

As an Intervention Specialist, I taught in an urban setting for five years. Presently, I enjoy being a substitute teacher in my local school district, Avon Lake City Schools and other districts near Avon Lake. The different teaching experiences I have continued to enhance my ability to relate and understand individuals with a learning differences. I have always been very dedicated to all my students and customize homework to strengthen their knowledge that creates a positive attitude for their involvement with learning. I have created tactile materials created specifically for students. Students learn in a positive learning environment. Everyone is unique thus everyone has unique learning styles. I focus on the positives each student has achieved and then, together the student and I strengthen the areas that need improvements. For example, there has been a recent emphasis on time test fo

Patient, effective and customized to each student's individualized and ever-changing needs. May I be a personal tutor for you or your child? I have been successfully tutoring for over 12 years.

I have been a probation officer for 8+ years. I have worked directly with clients in a teaching/learning atmosphere. I see myself as more of a teacher than a law enforcement officer. I construct detailed case plans and work with clients specifically towards goals each week. I have built a great deal of patience in this regard. I have worked with sex offenders, mentally disordered adults, and high risk offenders. Personal and direct. I am extremely patient.

I obtained my BA in Social Work and have worked in that field since 1993. In 2005 I began a part time job as an Adult Education instructor for Sentinel Career Center where my primary focus was language arts/writing. I was part of the STAR reading program where I became certified to teach adults to read. In this program and as a GED instructor I have tutored many individuals of varying ages, education levels and backgrounds. In my work as a social worker, I work primarily with children with mental health issues/learning disabilities where the focus is on behavior, organizational,study and communication skills and parenting education. My teaching style is not typical since I am not a certified teacher. I am creative in my teaching style using a variety of techniques. I understand that each child and person learns differently (Auditory, Visual, Tactile) so I try to discover their sty

As an Ivy league graduate, I was driven to acheive a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree in education and masters degree in education with a major in mathematics.

Recently I have been teaching as a substitute teacher in 3 counties and I have been doing alot of tutoring as well. I am certified to teach secondary mathematics and social studies by the state of OHIO. I also enjoy teaching college students and tutoring on a weekly basis. I teach for the students to learn and to enjoy the learning process. I am satisfied when I see the students are able to grasp the concepts on their own and see how the application works. I have worked with a variety of children from kindergarten to high school and college levels. I am an educator who does

I have always been a tutor of sorts. I love to teach kids because of the sparkle they get in their eyes when they finally understand what they are being taught. Each child have a different learning style so I try to work with them to see what works for them. I have worked with kids who have ADD and the gifted. The greatest thing I can teach is that we can teach to create intelligence, but wisdom comes from using all that you know. I started tutoring in 7th grade back in 1976. I have been tutoring my own kids for over 14 years. I have been a Scout leader for over 9 years. I worked with boys ages 5 to 18 years of age. I have brought 2 learning disabled teens into my home to help them graduate High School. Both have gone on to be Certified Welders. I have presided over the Parental Acceptance Committee for both Fremont and all five of WSOS HeadStart Counties and all the centers in

There is a way to reach every child. It is my responsibility to figure out how an individual child learns best, and then use it to show him learing is fun! I enjoy challenging a child to think - to think more creativly, tieing together concepts to gain understanding. There is nothing like seeing a child grasp a new concept, or watching their eyes light up as something which seemed boring or unimportant becomes exciting and relevant! I fully love my architecture career, but I have never lost my love for math and science! Every day I use basic math, geometry, and even physics (to calculate structural components). I am forced to design creative solutions and think outside the box. I hold a 4 year BS and a 5 year Bachelor of Architecture, and I have tutored on and off over the years. I have also taught Sunday School for the last 3 years, which has increased my ability to explain compli

My experiences as an educator have been numerous and continuous throughout my life. I have a Bachelor in Education 1-8th (Science) I have taught all subjects. Actually I am multilingual. I am native Spanish speaker; I can read, write; translate in my language of origin. I also have five years of French, I read and translate better then speaking fluently the reason I really do have anyone to practice speaking the French language. Currently I am teaching myself Farsi (Persian) language, beside Farsi, Japanese. I worked the Berlitz language agency, in which they taught me how to teach any language in the world without really know the language. This method is called the “Berlitz method” The methods of teaching I was instructed when I obtained my Bachelor in Education at the University of Akron Ohio, from 1989-1991, was the following Integrated, Whole language approach and Montessori.

I love to work with all ages, and I believe my approach to tutoring varies depending upon each individual student. I believe in making sure the learning experience is fun by making it more innovative, comprehensive and something that can be applied to real life situations. I strive to make connections within a child's environment so that they can succeed in the classroom. I would love to help your child find the success that they deserve. In high school and throughout my college career, I have tutored many ages- varying from age 8 to age 30. I've earned a BA in English from Kent State University in 2007, and it has helped me to understand the importance of literacy in young adults as well as continuing education. I worked at the Ohio Literacy Resource Center as a tutor for college students, and have been involved with Junior Achievement and tutored French to third grade students for both

I enjoy teaching adults as well as high school students. I do not have much training teaching below junior high; however, I am confident that I could successfully teach math or language. Although, I don't mind the traditional classroom setting, I am quite used to instructing on a one-to-one basis. Our GED programs are completely individualized for learners to move at their own pace, and I encourage this type of teaching style when manageable. Many of the students/adults that I have worked with have a learning disability of some sort, but I feel that I learn from each student just as much as they are learning from me. I enjoy teaching and couldn't see myself doing much else. While attaining my genetics degree at Ohio State, I worked at the OSU Chimpanzee Center. After graduating, I started working for the Department of Agriculture in the Weights and Measures division. It was my job to try

I enjoy working with students of all ages. My teaching style is nurturing and patient. Everyone learns at different speeds and no one approach works for all students. With children the involvement of a parent or grandparent is extremely important because they know the child and what he/she needs. Thus communication between the tutor and responsible adult is necessary for the child's success and clear expectations and goals are very important. Adult learners present a challenge in understanding what they want to accomplish with their tutoring. Sometimes the area needing refinement is related to career development and at other times a personal desire to improve. Learning never ends regardless of our age and I welcome an opportunity to share what I have learned in a very diverse career so it might be of assistance.
