Elementary School Spelling Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Whites Creek, TN

I have always been a proficient speller. Spelling has always been an interest of mine, and it is easy for me to point out correct and incorrect spelling. I believe this has to do with the amount I have read over the years. I have experience in all things English. From the time I was in high school, I knew I wanted to focus on this subject in my studies in college. I received a BA in English and am currently earning my Masters in Secondary Education to be an English teacher. My interest in English goes beyond the classroom. I have always been an avid reader and writer, pointing out themes and connecting stories to real life. Since graduating college, not only have I gone back to school to be a teacher, but I have also written articles and edited for websites, blogs, and newspapers. i believe English is as important as any other subject in school.

My teaching style is a little bit outside of traditional. I believe in a more hands on approach not just say " Read this and lets see where you are tomorrow." People respond a lot better to this approach as opposed to homework or lessons that make no sense. I don't have any formal training like college or anything. Every bit of my experience is real world experience from working in the field. I believe that hands on or real world experience is much more efficient compared to book knowledge. A book can only tell you a thing or two that might work. I know what will work.
