A Little Bit About Me...

I was a professional tutor at the university for three years; I tutored high school students while in college. In addition, I have been teaching high school English for two years. In addition, I was president of the University of Toledo's Writer's Guild, which focused on writing and publishing at the university level. I scored a 289/290 for writing and a 287/290 for reading on the Praxis/Pearson exam. Furthermore, I also scored above average on writing, reading, and interpreting literature on the Pearson's teaching standardized test.

Writing is one of my top subjects! Beginners (K - 1 graders) in writing should focus on how to print letter and words legibly. They need to practice the use of appropriate strokes, loops, and lines to form upper and lower case letters. Use of lined or ruled papers are ideal in practicing how to print letters because it has blue and red colors with broken lines in between straight lines. Writing needs the correct usage of Conventions such as Capitalization, Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuations. Students should use the rules in writing such as when to use Capital letters or upper case letters, Paragraph writing (which composes a composition) should use indentation and spacing. For more information in writing, please go back to area: Composition which states a lot of information on writing.

I started teaching right after my college graduation from Philippine Normal University. I taught ESL (English as A Second Language in public schools from 1968 - 1985.

While I have been working on my Elementary Education degree I have had the opportunity to teach young children. I have also spent the last two semesters taking methods classes, learning to teach different subjects. I have spent many years babysitting, 2 years teaching an 18 month old basics (counting, abc's, colors, phrases) and eventually complete sentences. For a year I worked with a 4th grader helping with homework and tutoring her in reading and spelling. I have also spent 2 summers working with a 2nd/3rd grader on spelling, basic English concepts, sentences, and reading.
I really enjoy working with children, primarily in the lower grades. I am patient, caring, and easy going. I strongly believe that children are most successful when they are able to learn through doing. I feel that it is very important to teach using multiple modalities rather than just speaking to a child. ... read more

I have a passion for education. I believe that children can learn without even knowing it! Children love to play games and I make teaching like a game for them, so they have a great time and they are learning. There is substantial information that suggests that children retain knowledge if they thoroughly understand it and if they are having fun learning it. I haven't met to many children that don't remember rules and the directions of how to play boardgames especially if they have a blast playing it! I know that every child wants to learn and I will strive to make sure that each and every child will have the opportunity to learn at their fullest potential.
As a Graduate student in Special Education, I have learned that there are many different ways to approach the English language. I have extensive experience in writing papers and the rules of the English language. I proof read m ... read more

I value the learning styles of each individual student and regardless of subject matter, I emphasize developing study skills to enable the student to apply what he or she learns in every subject/course.
In the last nine years, I have actively addressed the goals and available resources of diverse student populations. During college, I tutored through several organizations, including AVID, Hermanas Intimas, and the Ophelia Project.

I believe teaching style is dictated by the student. I have noticed that some take to hands on training better or repeating of the process till it is learned. I like to teach a subject and have the student repeat it back to me when I am done to make sure they have learned anything from what I have just said.
Experience: Responsible for monitoring training of individuals on shift and delegating work assignments. I would assist in designing training aids and test. I was responsible for scheduling training, perform the training, and then following up with making sure it is recorded and tracked.
