Study Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

My teaching style with students of all ages is to facilitate their learning as opposed to simply feeding them what I feel is the best response. Students learning is maximized when they can take ownership of and pride in their work. I am very patient. Recognizing that all students learn differently, I seek to ascertain their learning styles and then adjust my tutoring style to that learning style. I taught and tutored ESL two years before entering law school. I hae taught college classes as an adjunct and later FT professor at Penn College for 25 years. I currently serve as Career Outreach Coordinator for HACC-Lebanon Campus. I have tutored many students, particularly in areas such as writing essays. I also served as a reader for the SAT Writing section, so I am familiar with what they are seeking. I am very proficient in grammar and structure.

I teach with the student. I find out where the student is with regard to what I am teaching and instead of expecting him to get to the level of which I am teaching, I bring him to the level of where he should be. so it is not so much of a struggle for the student. Education should be fun and not something to endure. I am an R.N. I have an RN and a Masters degree in Nursing with a 4.0 GPA in that degree. I also have a certification in Legal-Nurse Consulting and I am obtaining a certification in Forensic Nursing. Becuase I am a Legal-Nurse Consultant, I basically write for a living for law firms. Therefore, I am also quite subjects such as paralegal studies. I value education and I believe in assisting others in this endeavor. I specialize in Nursing students, but can assist any others in the subjects listed.

I have been a classroom teacher for over 20 years. I have taught all subjects in elementary school, English, history, and mathematics in middle school, and English composition and literature in high school. Additionally, I have taught mass communication and creative writing in high school. I have taught remedial English, freshman composition, and technical writing on a collegiate level. A person who has strong negative feelings about learning is automatically hindered in any learning environment. I first gain the trust of my students, and then start to build an appreciation for learning in their minds. Once that process has begun, I inject a sense of humor, a sense of patience, and a great deal of love into my teaching.

I utilize hands-on learning throughout my classes intermixed with other individual techniques designed to suit each child's own learning style. I believe that teachers are in schools to serve the kids and I routinely pursue what is in the best interest of each student I work with. Communication with the adults in my students' lives is very important to me and I keep a constant chain of updates and communication going between myself and the parents at all times. With these tools and strategies I encourage my students to get more out of themselves than they ever thought possible. It is truly a joy to watch children learning. After earning a degree in Elementary Education and Specific Learning Disabilities at Florida Southern College, I continued my education and received my Masters at the University of South Florida as well as my Educational Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership t

Hello, I have been a teacher in central Florida for 6 years. I have always taught at the middle school leve, although my student teaching was done at the High school level. Prior to becoming a teacher I served 5 years in the U.S. Navy. I have also worked with Juinor Acheivement and the Boys and Girls club of America. My belief is in the child. I am extremely patient and loving. The child sets the pace at which we learn and we would not move on to the next subject until the child completely understands the material.

I have a PhD in Education and graduated school with a 3.8 GPA. I have six years experience in private tutoring for students in elementary, middle and high school. I also have six years experience teaching GED classes in non-profit organizations (e.g. The Salvation Army in South Phoenix, Arizona). Students and parents feel that I am knowledgeable of the subject matter, pay close attention to detail and provide individualized learning experiences. My teaching philosophy is based on individualized learning and high expectations. I also rely a great deal on the opinions of parents and teachers to support the student to reach their full potential. The goal is for students to become independent workers who can critically analyze their assignments and goals and take the lead on excelling.

My experience with approx. 25 different learning challenges (diagnoses) has allowed me to become sensitive to individual students' needs--behaviorally, emotionally, and academically. In the last 20 years of tutorial services and as a contracted para-ed within my local school district, I have gained much from observing students' success and struggles. Their accomplishments have resulted in a personal excitement to continue assisting in their life-changing work. Students have ranged from pre-K to college level/adult; from those learning basic life-skills to others working toward an advanced college degree; and from frequent in-person sessions per week at the student's home to one-time project work at a library site. My experience has developed my versatile, motivational, and sensitive style. Beyond simply "tutoring", my work with students is aimed at long-term cognitive development. Ins

I have been teaching elementary school study skills, from Kindergarten up to 6th grade for 6 years. I have been working for 2 tutoring companies involved with the "no child left behind program" designed by the education department. I have been tutoring on a one-to-one basis in the homes of the students or in the library if desired by the parents. In addition, I have also tutored study skills at elementary school level privately for a number of students over this period, and have helped with homework. I have had excellent results, with most of my students achieving almost double the scores from their pre-test score to their post-test score. All my students have shown a marked improvement at school. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Psychology and Sociology with sub major in Law.

Good organization and study skills have always come easily for me. I can help you develop your own methods of study to improve your learning experience. For the past 25-years I have worked with my husband in our video production company. Last year I decided that I wanted to return to teaching and took the CELTA course in Bangkok, Thailand. Afterwards, I taught English for the summer at an orphanage in Cambodia. Through the years I have independently continued my education, predominately in the area of language and literature. From 1994 to 1999 I created the curriculum and lead Women's Literature courses with adults. I also taught several high school students English Literature; these students were motivated and wanted to expand on their private school's curriculum. I have also been learning French on my own and in 2009 attended classes in Lyon, France for 2-months. In order to brin

My students exhibited diversities in learning styles, backgrounds, cultures, and interests. I have taught English to students at many levels, including, standard, honors and advanced placement. Additionally, I was an active club sponsor and peer mediator. It has been and will always be my utmost goal to tailor my teaching methods to best meet the needs of all of my learners in order to ensure the highest level of success for each child. When I began my teaching career, my passion for English propelled me to initiate and nurture the same love of literature and writing in young people. However, although the aforementioned mantra remains in tact, another overarching mission evolved––to devote myself to the betterment of children’s lives using all of the knowledge, experience, skills and devotion that I have to offer.

Along with writing and reading literature, I am an expert in teaching valuable research skills that will help a student excel in any writing assignment. During my years teaching English literature, at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada, I quickly discovered that the most rewarding and effective moments between student and instructor occur in one-to-one meetings. The tutoring environment is the ideal classroom, where a single student’s learning needs, academic desires and questions can be fully catered to, fulfilled and explored. I have worked with first-year university students, middle school students, all levels of high school students, and older adults. My advanced education, extensive experience, sincere respect for my students, and genuine love and enthusiasm for literature and learning make me an effective and valuable educator.
