Learning can be fun!

My style is a learner centered one. I believe in guided learning, where the students make discoveries themselves while at the same time feeling supported and directed. I believe that everyone can learn, and discovering each student's style of learning while promoting confidence is very important to me.

Study methods, working out problems, etc.

I am a former social worker, "turned teacher".

I am a former social worker, "turned teacher". I returned to school in 1998 to "recycle myself" and finished an M.A. in 2000. I did not continue, to become a fully credentialed teacher. I have had 8 years + experience as a substitute teacher, in high school, middle school and elementary school. High school was a favorite, but now I find that elementary students (1st thru 5th) are more accepting of my "grandma-like" appearance.
I use lesson plans and schedules left by the teacher, as well as textbooks and other materials like workbooks which are familiar to the children. I leave a written synopsis of the day for the teacher, including notes on behavioral issues or good/helpful behaviors.

You can do this; you do it already by being who you are.

Certified English/Language Arts in Junior/High school Experience working with children with cognitive, physical, and behavioral Special Needs in whole-class and one-on-one settings 12 years' experience working in classrooms as an aide, teacher's assistant, and teacher Written and produced several plays BA in Literature-Creative Writing, working on a Master's Degree in Education
Open, friendly, inquiry-based. I would rather sit around and talk about a book with a student and see what they think of it and help them find meaning than just tell them what it means or go over grammar worksheets. That said, I also like grammar and its intricacies.

A Little Bit About Me...

My main goal working with children is to give them the help and support they need to achieve their own goals. Education is of paramount importance for a child's future, in order to not only establish financial security, but so that they may find a path in life. I know that in order for a child to find success, they need an adult who can listen, be patient, and understand each child's personal needs. Every child has a different background, temperament, and personallity that is continuously molded by the adults and peers in their life. As a tutor I know it is my responsibility to provide each child encouragement while doing the best possible to clearly and easily explain and teach.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a former military child, I have learned to adapt very quickly to any situation and believe every experience is a learning one. I have worked with both military and non-military with my duties in some jobs included helping people with software and computer skills. My undergraduate degree in Mass Communications strengthened my ability to communicate effectively and sparked further interest in education. Since my graduation in 2003, I've completed over 60 units of college classes. I am currently working on a second degree, in Nursing. Exposure to the sciences and many other classes that require extensive reading, critical thinking, communication through discussions and writing papers has prepared me for a tutoring position such as this.
I am a believer of diversity. I don't believe that learning is "One size fits all". I am aware that children come from a variety of backgrounds ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

With my background and degree being in music, I have enjoyed finding creative ways to induce wonder and enthusiasm for learning in my students. I have always accomplished this with the utmost patience, consideration and respect. This last quality in my style (respect of my students) has received much positive feedback throughout my teaching and mentoring. I believe that young people learn as much or possibly more from "what they see" than "what they hear" so that the example the teacher is exhibiting by his presence is often underestimated.
I have worked with children of all ages in different environments and capacities for the past 20 years. It all started at the YMCA Afterschool and Summer Programs which gave me my first satisfactory feeling for being around young people. That led to substitute teaching and to 6 years in the classroom with 6th graders. For 1 year I taught English ... read more

More About This Tutor...

For the past 10 years, I have worked in my community, helping to better the lives of children. At age 15, I began mentoring young girls and volunteering for a non-profit organization, counseling developmentally delayed children and at-risk youth. I later went on to become a Behavioral Therapist, educating children with autism. My love for children (and passion for education) was the determining factor in the course of my college career. I attained a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Utah in 2008 (graduating with a cumulative GPA of 3.8). In addition to my Psychology degree, I also hold a certificate in Human Factors Engineering and recently published research in this field.
As an educator, it is my job to recognize each child’s individual learning-style and adapt my teaching-style accordingly. I will build upon each child’s abilities and strengths, and work to improve upon ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My commitment to education can be found very simply. At 28 years old, I decided to go back to college to complete my final two years of school. I attained my BA 3 years later, having had to work full time to support my wife and two young children. My goal is, at some point, to return to school to attain my teaching credential, so I can fulfill my dream of being an English teacher.
Children are not students. They are not tools, nor are they pieces of a larger machine. They are people, impressionable and as important as the rest of the world. So, then, why would we expect everyone to learn the same? To teach a child in any discipline requires, in some cases, finesse, and an ability to adapt to their needs. That is what I bring to the table. I believe in a laid-back, friendly approach to tutoring, one where the student's needs are met before those of the classroom. After all ... read more
