Specializing in English, Spanish, and Elementary help!!

I like to be presented with the material at hand and evaluate what the child/student knows before I dive in. After this initial assessment, I take more of an interactive approach. I constantly offer feedback and guide the student in reaching the correct answers without just giving them away. If the problem calls for drawings or manipulatives, I utilize these resources to the fullest.
My area of expertise is the English language and grammar. I took two year's worth of Advanced Placement English classes during high school and made either 4's or 5's on both exams. The score of 5 on my senior level exam allowed me to place out of Freshman English during college and jump right into Sophomore English. I just made an A in that Sophomore class. I also took Spanish for four years during high school, and have already taken a college level class with a final grade of A. I will be taki ... read more

Turning your weakness into your strength

I help guide the student along, having them discover much of the information in a trial and error fashion. I tend to use the questions they are struggling with the most, making similar examples, then walking them through these problems and breaking down the problems until the student understands the how the process works.
I have been tutoring for over seven years, starting with my peers in tenth grade. I have tutored a wide range of subjects, from Geometry through Calculus III, from general computer knowledge through utilizing the advanced functions of Microsoft Access. I have tutored people ranging from my peers to people three times my age, to as young as third graders. My motto has evolved into "Helping those who feel they can not be helped"

Be the change you wish to see in the world. - Ghandi

When tutoring students I try to take a multidimensional approach. I attempt to show the child, explain it in my own words, have the student explain it in his/her own words, and then have them apply and practice so that the material really sticks.
Throughout high school and college I helped numerous classmates develop efficient ways of studying as well as providing assistance to learning and understanding the given material. During high school I mainly tutored my neighbor's young children in elementary subjects. In college I helped fellow classmates in my major and minor. The most challenging tutoring experience I had was when my own brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and he was taken out of school for months at a time. I was able to help him learn a full course of high school biology, english, and spanish and he was able to complete the courses with passing grades and be prom ... read more

With the competitive demands of our youth and the need to excell, I know the presssure placed on kids today to compete on so many different levels is significant. Pressure causes much anxiety and undue stress, making it difficult for both the children and their parents. As a young man, I am still continuing my education to pursue additional degrees in English and then on to Law School. I will look for ways to motivate and make learning fun. I can encourage them that success is built upon setbacks and some failures, and how it can make your journey even more rewarding.I feel that young students can learn best from other students that they can relate to. I hope I can make a difference.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a writing instructor, I aspire to teach students to want to learn to write, because when students want to write, they learn to write. I believe the teacher is not the sage on the stage, but rather, the guide on the side. One of my primary goals is to empower students through student-centered teaching. I encourage students to assume active, curious roles in their education whereby they can develop strategies to monitor their own progress and learning. By promoting the development of strong analytic / research skills, students can make discoveries and inferences for themselves and become critical and creative learners.
I hold B.A. and M.A. degrees in English from Wake Forest University. My 4 years in the WFU Writing Center as a Writing Instructor developed my capacity to assess student needs and tailor approaches to teaching writing. In this role, I was responsible for overseeing ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I have not had very much tutoring or teaching experience I believe that my background in English and Sociology is a great foundation for my ability to futher other's education. I had various classes throughout college in which I had to teach a group of 15+ individuals about a particular book or subject matter we were covering. Over the last four yers I have been able to hone my critical thinking abilities and enhance my way of learning through group work and individual projects. I also was briefly involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters where I helped teach children how to read and write. In high school I was an assistant Sunday school teacher for three years.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am patient but firm. In order to be a success in the business world, one must be able to write and speak the English language correctly. If the student knows English, everything else in general business can be taught. Thus, in a tutoring environment, I try to make learning fun and make a game out of speaking and writing proper English. I believe that every child can learn even those that are handicapped. My mother was a specialist in teaching trainable children and got them jobs after graduation. Being around children with IQ's around 60 gave me special insight and understanding.

As a student who was assisted by tutoring, I would be glad to help other students achieve excellence in their studies and gain confidence in themselves. I have been a tutor since I was in a freshmen in high school. I have tutored students in English and reading skills. I tutored a group of sixth graders, who approved their state academic scores. It was a great joy for them to see they could do it.
I enjoy tutoring a great deal because you can help the students gain confidence in themselves to do better with hard work and discpline. Everyone learns different and I try to find the best way to incorpate all styles of learning into my tutoring, so everyone is learning. I like to get the students involved in the learning by them showing they understand by examples and activities. I want them to know and understand the lesson I am teaching.
