I utilize elements of each of the five teaching styles; however, I prefer the I Do, We Do, You Do style of learning. I firmly believe in providing clear instruction and demonstration of each concept. Then, the student and I work together to master a concept. After that, I provide the student an opportunity to practice and demonstrate his/her mastery of the material in a variety of situations. If the student still needs help, I reteach. I believe in positive reinforcement. Every student can succeed. No one succeeds if he/she feels unimportant or unsuccessful. Attitude is as essential to success as a mastery of content. I have more than 20 years of teaching experience students in grades 7-12. I currently teach 10th grade English and work part-time with Han Academy. I have more than ten years experience teaching Advanced Placement Language and Composition, Advanced Placement Literatur

I've tutored two kids in my neighborhood for 40 buck every two weeks. It was a marvelous experience because they were very respectful young boys...majority of the time. It was kind of hard for them to keep their focus so i drew a plan which was rewarding them with candy and toys, and of course since it was my idea I didn't charge extra. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to tutor them anymore because had to move with my mother. All in all, no matter the task I will always try my best to achieve!!!

Most of my experience is working with students who have issues beyond a normal student whether it be learning disabilities, behavior problems,or emotional/phsychological issues. I have taught in many alternative school settings, but I have also taught in main stream schools, both public and private. I have successfully taught students to read and write when the system had given up on them, and on the flip side of the coin, I have taught advanced placement/honors students. I have taught grades seven through twelve. I believe that learning needs to be fun, but that students need, and most of the time want, structure in their classrooms. I believe that learning needs to be relevant to students. They need to know why and where in their lives they will need or be using what they are being taught. I use a variety of instuctional methods while teaching (lecture, discussions,group activities, et

As a graduate from the American University of Paris, a private university in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France, I am qualified to be a French language tutor. Not only do I hold a Journalism degree, with a specialty in French, I also completed a French language and civilization course at La Sorbonne in 2004. I lived for many years in Paris and I have worked in two businesses in Paris: Leading Art Galleries (an art publication) and the International Chamber of Commerce (the largest, most representative business organization in the world). While I lived in Paris, I was a nanny for French families, where I helped students learn English. I am patient with my students, and I also work hard to make the learning experience fun. My first French teacher at Mountain Brook High school used wonderful methods to introduce our class to the language. She showed us French movies and other int

I enjoy the power of teaching and I work well with all types of learners. I am motivated by the mistakes I made because there wasn't anyone to direct me and mentor my decisions. I believe all people have greatness inside of them and I would love to strive forward in helping students decide their greatness. I would love to assist in helping others learn and not make the same mistakes I made. While attending the University of Mississippi I worked three jobs and finished with a BS in Jouralism. This experience has greatly helped me with my writing and my understanding of words. I have learned how to structure ideas to form a balanced essay and other writing assignments.During the last two years I have worked hard on understanding the principles of writing and different techniques. This has allowed me to finish my first novel and I know look to publish it later this year.

I think differentiated instruction is the best way to teach. This essentially means changing up the instruction in an effort to allow all students to learn. Because students have different learning styles, teachers should try to teach the material in new, different, and creative ways. Teachers should consider the way that the particular child learns best (ex. auditory, visual, performing, ect.)as well as brain hemisphere dominance. Teachers should cater instruction to match the needs of individual learners. During graduate school, I was a substitute teacher, taught a teaching writing practicum at UAB, and was a reading tutor. I was a student teacher for 8th grade language arts, and then I was a real teacher for 6th grade English. I have taken 18 hours of graduate level English classes, and this is more than is required to earn a Master's degree in secondary English education. I also have

Having always been intrigued by language, I have spent the majority of my life learning and teaching language skills. Beginning with study abroad, I learned how important communication is. Language unites one person to another, or one culture to another culture worlds apart. After pursuing a master’s degree in German literature, I proceeded to study the English language, focusing specifically on composition skills and research.My experience within the realm of composition extends from one-on-one tutoring in a university writing center to being the instructor of record for an entry-level university composition class. Typically I incorporate a heavy communicative approach to the subject I am teaching, allowing knowledge to be shared through communication. Communication with the student helps to enforce the context of the material, which is essential for full comprehension. Once communicati
