My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : As stated in Reading. Reading comprehension is an area of Reading.

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. From 1985 - 1991 I taught at the United States Refugee Program. On October 1991 I was sent by the US Refugee Program to University of Omaha, Nebraska as a guest lecturer on ESL. Then I worked as a tutor in English Business for foreign professionals in Connecticut from December 1991 - 1995. When I toured my professional students in Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, I was hired there (1995 - 2003 June 1968 - July 1985 : ESL (English as A Second Language) teacher in San Pablo City, Laguna, Philippines August 1985 - October 1991: ESL teacher, United States Refugee Program December 1991 - June 1995: ESL Tutor to foreign professionals in Trumbull, Connecticut July 1995 - 2003: Part time ESL i ... read more

Your Child's Best Interest.

I have student taught since my senior year in high school as a credit. I have tutored family members and coworkers. I am currently a third year student at Glendale Community College (GCC) and my major is Secondary Education in English. I student taught Senior English last semester and this experience has proved that this is the place that I want to be. I plan on going to ASU in the Fall of 2019 to continue my education.
I want your child to be able to feel comfortable to ask questions. A lot of students are scared to look "less than" in front of their peers if they ask questions. English and Literature are subjects meant to be questioned and not just read. I believe that your child has every capability to learn and my job is to help them turn on the light bulb to help them see that reading and writing aren't as hard as they seem to be.

Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects! Let's get your child back to LOVE to read- not stuck with they have to read. We can dive deep into reading so that when talking about a book we can discover new and exciting meaning, and go beyond places they imagined. If reading is a struggle I can help, as I have worked with many programs which will help all children become hungry to read.

I believe that each student learns differently, and that we need to target those learning styles and use them in ways that can help one another.
I have been teaching for over ten years. It is not just a job, it is my passion. I love going into my classroom everyday and learning with my students. Together, we conquer the day in our curricular subjects, but also in our social environments all with a growth mindset and determinations. Do we make mistakes along the way? Yes, of course we do, but those are celebrated as learning opportunities, things that we can grow from. Learning and growing together makes every day exciting and fun! 1

Success in learning can bring a huge change in attitudes and behavior in children. I have seen it happen.
I have ten years experience teaching elementary school. I have taught sixth, fourth and third grade. I also have one year experience teaching kindergarten. I have been trained in writing instruction through the state in North Carolina. I am also trained in the Literacy First reading program. I currently hold a valid teaching certificate in North Carolina for grades K-5. I am presently applying for my Arizona certificate.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is quite organized, but also empathetic. I allow for students to use their various aptitudes and abilities to learn. For example, when a student normally presents a report to the class, that student reads from his notes. I had one student who was musically inclined and played her guitar to make her presentation. She used her musical skills quite effectively.
I am currently certified in the state of Arizona in the following subjects: English, Latin and general sciences. I teach two courses of Latin at Glendale Community College, Glendale, Arizona. One class is in the classroom and the other is on the Internet. I also am a substitute teacher in Peoria, Arizona.

More About This Tutor...

I would describe my teaching style as straight-forward, but constructive and rewarding. I believe patience is important and that small successes lead to larger ones. I understand that each student has different needs and learning styles vary, therefore I work to tailor my methods to the individual student while keeping the information plain to reduce confusion. I believe that teaching is about supporting students to reach their full potential and enrich their lives.
I began tutoring in elementary school. I tutored students in grades below mine in reading, spelling, grammar, math, and science. I continued tutoring fellow students in high school, as well as teaching children as a church volunteer. After studying the administration of justice and evidence technology at Phoenix College, I finished my BS at University of Phoenix. While earning my degree, I used the knowlege and s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a lot of patience, especially patience to help students by carefully showing them their mistakes. Students learn best by listening and correcting errors -getting the correct result. Learning by doing and discovery fit into this scenario.
Presently, I am a part time adjunct instructor. As a superintendent and principal, I have observed 100’s of classrooms, and being around the best of teachers, I have a pretty good foundation of what good teaching is about. Rasmussen managers and students have also given me wonderful evaluations. It is so important that students are listened to, and it is also vital that classes are dynamic and interesting. Most years of my career was spent in elementary teaching, and in many of those years I served as a tutor. I was also a tutor at Rasmussen College. I have tutored and taught classes in both the special needs and gifted areas ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While studying abroad in Spain this last spring I volunteered as an English tutor at a local elementary/high school. I helped the students learn to read, write and speak English and while I was there I got the opportunity to teach some lessons to students ranging form 4-18 years of age. I have also tutor two young girls from my neighborhood in elementary math, reading and writing last summer.
I like to teach in any style if its one on one or group tutoring lesson. Either way I can help the student and help them individually with their work and have them work on what they need help on. There is also tutoring groups where the students can learn off of each other as well as with the help of the tutor. In this case more subjects can be approached and answer all the questions the students ask that can help other students as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a high school chemistry teacher, I am passionate about making science fun and understandable. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in secondary education from Arizona State University. I earned a bachelor's degree in journalism while completing the pre-medicine track at the University of Arizona. My work as a science journalist and my science background make me particularly well-equipped to tutor students in chemistry, biology, and English.
I strongly believe every student is capable of learning. My experience in the classroom has taught me to respect every student and hold each one to incredibly high expectations. I am relaxed, patient, and always looking for ways to foster conceptual understanding of the material, rather than rote memorization. I believe inspiring and encouraging students is a teacher's most important job.
