I started tutoring in 2009 through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana. I tutor my "Little" for an hour once a week. I help with whatever subject they need. My specialty is Language Arts, but if you need help with basic math, I can do that too. I have observed many elementary, middle school, and high school classes. I know what works best, especially since I'm going to become a high school language arts teacher in a few years. I'm patient. I'll try and make my lessons easy to understand. I know how frustrating language arts can be, but I also know how rewarding it can be as well. I can relate very easily to high school students, because I just graduated from high school 5 years ago.

Me thinks an expert of the shakesperean verse. I have a basic approach to tutoring and teaching students: - Identify what the student knows and still needs to learn to get where we need to bo. - Identify the strengths and weaknesses...and review the strengths and work at a rigoris pace to get where we know the child's skill level needs to be. - Celebrate the students successes to build thier confidence and increase their willingness to learn more and utlimately do better. _ Building a relationship with the student that we are partners in their education and we both will work to reach our set goals.

I like to teach children in different innovative ways, which makes my lessons very easy and interesting for the children.

Very simply, I believe that an instructor should be a facilitator of the learning process, not a dictator. The best learning is that which is done by the student him/herself through experiencing and seeing things firsthand. I strive to get to know my students and make my tutoring sessions unique and tailored to fit each individual student's needs. I have a masters degree in psychology, specializing in child development. During my undergraduate studies, I minored in music and English. In recent years, I have taught music and English to both children and adults. I also have a great deal in knowledge in other subject areas, like history, religion, and even a little Spanish.

As a former high school English teacher, I had the honor of working with student from the 9th to the 12th grade, as well as covering all major areas: composition, literature, spelling, vocabulary and everything else in between. In addition, my advanced schooling and training have given me a wife array of teachable skills - everything from test prep to basic reading skills to a strong background in history. I am a dynamic and charismatic teacher who thrives in small group settings. I inject real world examples and allusions while I thoroughly discuss the basics of all skills. I love to learn, to discuss, to research and to find answers to questions, and this passion allows me to provide a pathway for students to learn to their fullest potential. I try to make learning fun, exciting and full of life, as this is the way I see it.

I like to make a difference in a child's life. I enjoy seeing the child understand what they have read or being able to sound a word out and understand its meaning. I think that in today's time a lot of students do not understand how to write a well worded paper and this skill is very useful in the higher years of one's education. I also believe that reading comprehension is important since this skill is often used in standardized tests. I am patient and am able to work at the student's pace no matter how slow or fast it is. I have earned a BA in English. In earning that degree I have taken several linguistic classed. With that said my knowledge of the written and spoken language is pretty strong. With holding an English degree I am trained to comprehend what I have read as well as analyzing the material. During my undergraduate years I have helped kids and peers to learn how to speed re

During the pursuit of my degrees I worked tirelessly to excel. While in school I volunteered as a tutor for the local Boys and Girls Club. I tutored middle school and high school students in literature, math, science and history. Due to my degree in Library Science I have extensive knowledge in writing term papers and research methods. I believe that all children can be successful academically with the right encouragement and guidance. I believe in showing students the correct way to do the task at hand, and them coaching to explore the materials themselves. I believe that given the right tools and foundation even a academically unsuccessful student can excel.

I love working with students of all ages. I believe that everyone can learn when they are given opportunities for success. Those opportunities most often give support to the student, but they also teach the student to take a responsibility for his or her own learning. I believe in teaching students to master concepts in such a way that they can also be successful unsupervised; thus, tutoring or additional instruction is an aid for success, not a crutch. As an undergraduate, I spent three years in the education program. I clocked over 100 hours in public schools observing, mentoring, or otherwise working with children in elementary, middle, and high school. I also spent two years as a Writing Center Consultant where I worked with college students on their own writing. I was an ESL tutor for one semester where I worked with two small groups of Japanese speaking students on their English sk

I love to learn and love to share that joy with others. I try to be clear and precise as possible in my explanation of course content, but I try to avoid blatantly giving a student an answer to a question. I feel the best way to learn is to let the student work at the problem on his own and come to the solution by himself. This leads the student to a feeling of success and accomplishment and helps him to better develop his own individual skills. During my two years attending graduate school at Ohio University, I was responsible for teaching an introductory college course. Aside from the mandated textbook, I developed and distributed all course materials, including in-class lectures, classroom exercises, course examinations, and other various learning materials. I assisted the students in properly parsing and formulating an appropriate answer to each assignment, as well as clarifying thei

As an English major, I spent all 4 years at my private instutition tutoring my fellow students, not only in English and writing courses, but in all academic classes in which I had received a grade of "A" or "B". 3 of my 4 years at Lindsey Wilson were spent in the Education department, as I originally wanted to be a high school English teacher. I also spent several summers as a Camp Counselor, working with children aged 7-15 as well. I like to determine my teaching style by first evaluating a child's current progress and learning style. Learning is a very individualized process, therefore, teaching must also be individual. I am a relaxed person, and I like to find a way to relate material to a child in a way that he/she will not only understand, but retain. Flash cards are great for some children, and other children will learn better with a pneumonic device, while still other learners
