English/Language Arts Tutor

While attending Texas Tech University I was employed by the Marsha Sharp Center for Student Athletes as a tutor and worked with athletes in the following subject areas: English, Spanish, Art History, History, and Political Science. I was also a summer school teacher for a non-profit organization called Shalom Readers and led a classroom of children between 6 and 8 years of age. I was responsible for planning Christian based games and learning activities for them as well as providing them with coursework that covered all basic subject areas. I graduated from Texas Tech cum laude with a degree in English and a double minor in Spanish and Electronic Media and Communications. I come from a family of teachers and hope to gain my certification soon. Please contact me if you are need of tutoring!

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned my A.A. in Theatre Arts at College of Central Florida in Ocala, Florida. I then moved to Lakeland and earned my B.A. in Theatre Performance at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. Last summer I was an assistant teacher for the summer camp at the Civic Theatre in Ocala, Florida.
I teach the basic concepts of acting through Stanislavski and Chekhov. I focus on character development as well as scene analysis. When analyzing a play or story, I focus on the basic concepts such as inciting incidents, major dramatic question, climax, the point of attack, resolution, the theme, and characters. I work with the student so he/she can find these elements and talk about them and expound on them. I work as fast or as slow as the student needs.

Worked for Lake County Schools as a substitute teacher for a year. Worked in classrooms from K to advanced level high school. I have also homeschooled my son for 5 years. I have experience with students with reading difficulty and tailoring learning to the child. Currently I am working on my masters degree in teaching where many of my classes prepare me to be a reading specialist. I am also licensed to administer the SAT and IOWA achievement test in a group or individual setting. After earning a BA in Psychology I realized how much I love reading so I continued to ear a BA in English. Theareafter I enrolled for the Masters Degree in Education to learn how to pass my love of reading to students I will teach.
I believe that the curriculum should be tailored to the learning style of the child and not the other way around. Learning especially reading is a slow process where small ste ... read more

I love math and I love teaching. The primary aspects of my teaching style are patience, and respect for the child as an individual. Both are important because all children can learn, they just learn in different ways. By being patient, getting to know them and respecting their individuality, I can make math less intimidating and more relevant to their lives. If a student feels a skill is relevant, he will be more engaged, and thus more successful.
As a lifelong learner, I value education highly and aspire to help others do the same. I have been tutoring students in Math since graduating from college over 20 years ago. I've found that many students don't succeed at math, not because they are "dumb" or lazy, but because they are either intimidated or just not interested. I have developed solutions to both problems. I encourage students to confront their feelings of intimid ... read more

I'm very patient with individuals of all learning styles. I have worked with children with varying degrees of autism. As a tutor in high school I worked with many age groups and aspire to connect with each student to understand their strengths and areas needing improvement. I believe that each child can learn and comprehend literature if the subject is approached at an appropriate angle. While I do enjoy working with a variety of students, I also enjoy in-depth learning with a single child, focusing on specific needs. There is much to learn through literature and I'm passionate about helping individuals to find a way to love it as I do.
From a very young age I have been a book lover. Throughout high school I ran our school's Book Club, Newspaper, Literary Magazines, and Writing Center (specializing in college essays and middle school tutoring). My acceptance to an Ivy League Unive ... read more

I have a Masters Degree in Education with a broad base of subjects which I have taught. In Language Arts I most often taught Composition and American Literature althought I have experience in related areas such as Poetry, Speech, Creative Writing, and English Literature. In the Social Studies area, I specialized in American History but have also taught Civics, Economics, and Art History as well as Life Skills classes. I am currently preparing to teach a 10 week session at my Church on the History and Traditions of the Methodist Church.
While I am a firm and "no-nonsense" teacher, I make every effort to help the student enjoy the material. My goal is for the student to not only learn the needed material but at the same time, discern how the material is meaningful to each of them personally. I believe "connecting and relating" are key to retaining information.

My teaching style is very dependent on learner style. I identify the way the student learns best and go from there. Motivation of struggling students is often dependent on the relationship of the student to the teacher, so it is very important that teachers reach out to care and build trust with the learner. I am flexible, positive, and persistent with all my students and try to have a good sense of humor!
As a veteran Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) teacher, I have assisted hundreds of struggling students learning to read and write. During the past several years my job has been Support Facilitation, helping SLD students in the general education classroom. As a professional teacher, I can work well with all kinds of students.I have worked with all ethnicities and income levels.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have dedicated my life to working with children from kindergarten to the college level. It is my belief that all students can learn if provided the tools to do so. The key to their learning is embedded in the way in which their specific learning needs are met. I believe in active participation by students through the use of hands on activities that allow for discovery and a constructive approach to learning. I am very easy going and patient but at the same time expect and encourage students to reach their fullest potential and to utilize what they have learned to critical think and apply what they have learned in new and different situations. I want students to seek their very best.
As a professional educator I have taught for over 20+ years at all levels including the college level, I have learned to look for the very best in students and to encourage them to reach their f ... read more
