I have been a freelanced graphic designer for many years now. I have a vast knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite. I know a thing, or two about illustrating. I was the youngest in my class to graduate under the Visual Communications curriculum. And I also possess other sets of skills, which I would be happy to show off (And teach). I think of my student as more of a partner. As in, I try to help them out in any way possible.

1993 B.S. Texas Womans University Elementary Education 2008 M.A. University of Phoenix Curriculum and Instruction 1994 Teaching Certificate State of Texas (Lifetime) I have been teaching for the last 19 years. I have taught everything from 1st to 8th grade. My favorite subject to teach is Math. My students (85%-90%) would usually always perform end of the year State Test and on any test that showed grade equivalency they usually performed one to two years ahead of their grade. My teaching style has always been about quality. I know that whatever I teach today, will last forever with my students. So if I don't teach, they wouldn't learn anything and I never wanted anyone to ever say "She didn't teach us anything while we were in her class." I also know that I have a job to come to every day and so do the students. I want to want to come to work and I want my students to want

I have had all A's through out school including college. I went to school for nursing and Algebra and anything with numbers is my specialty. I enjoy working with others an being a mentor and teaching people. I've tutored many students my age and younger and older than me and i've never had no complaints. Everyone i have helped tutor has had good grades not failed anything after working with me. I like to ask children or students how do they like to learn? and once they tell me how they like to learn i teach them the way they like to learn so that they remember what they need to know.

I'm Ebony! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's in Cognitive Studies and Education, and earned a Master's degree with distinction in Curriculum and Instruction. I am a Cognitive Specialist/neuroeducator whose sole objective is bridging the divide between the student and the content, using methods based on the individual's learning style. As I think back to when I have achieved most success as a student, it was always because of a phenomenal educator who taught the content in ways that appealed to my learning style. I was immersed in the content, and I thrived because of it. I provide the same instructional strategies and experiences for my students, who vary from children with neurological differences such as Autism, Dyslexia, and other learning differences, to gifted students, to adults who never learned how to read or perform mathematics. I've taught in various fields for over

I enjoy working with people and I try to connect with students' strengths to bring up their weak spots. I'm very good at getting people enthusiastic about learning too. I work to provide a comfortable collaborative relationship in which students feel comfortable learning and trying out new ideas and techniques. As a student I am seeking a career as a psychologist and am 2 semesters away from completing my MA and 2 years from my PsyD. So I understand what it's like to be a student! As a teacher my strong suit would be teaching writing because in my education I have become comfortable with my writing skills. I can help people learn to do writing that is focused and that easily communicates their ideas. Of course I am also very knowledgeable on social sciences and also statistics.

This is a new pursuit for me, so I haven't much experience with tutoring. I do however, have some level of proficiency in each of the subjects listed in my profile. I work exceptionally well with children. Above all else, reading and writing are the areas in which I can most assist students of all ages.

Unorthodox is the best way to describe my teaching style. Unorthodox in that I will change my approach or activities based on student comprehension. Unorthodox in that I truly believe that for every student who is confused or doesn’t understand a concept, there is a teacher who didn’t do their job. My greatest strength lies in creating lessons and activities where students will want to engage. Engagement leads to a permanent investment. When a student is engaged by a lesson, they will remember that lesson. To introduce Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado,” my students played "Who's crazier: Edgar Allan Poe or Mrs. W’s Mom or Dad???” After reading a series of statements such as: “Removed tires from daughter’s car for talking back” “Married his first cousin,” students would guess if it was Poe or my mom/dad. The level of participation in class that day and the days that followed wa

Have tutored high school and undergrad as well. The teaching style is adaptable, but I prefer tutor either in a university library, coffee house, or classroom environment. My teaching style depends on the student, it is adaptable. Some people are more visual, others are more lecture type, it all depends on the person.

There are rules and formulas to composition. Learn those and let your ideas fly. My style of teaching is real-world understanding and application firmly based on theory. In other words, I teach how to accomplish each element, but why it is important to do so. In my instruction, I establish goals and create achievable steps for the student to follow in order to achieve those goals. I spent over 20 years as a graphic designer for various colleges and universities. In that time I used my office as an educational opportunity for my student assistants, but I always had the desire to teach. In 2011 I returned to school for my Teacher Certification in English Language Arts and Reading grades 8-12. I have since then taught English I, II, III and IV, Recovery Reading for 9th and 10th graders, as well as Art and Yearbook. My experience has taught me that every child has a tremendous capacit

I believe in adapting my teaching style based on individual learning styles. I use a multi-sensory approach along with positive reinforcement. Each child I work with is unique and in order to be successful it is imperative to build a rapport with the child and the family. I have taught in both the public and private school sectors. I have been teaching Special Education since 1999. I owned a learning center for children on the Autism spectrum as well as own my own tutoring business~Special Effects Tutoring. I provide tutoring, advocacy, and professional development in the Collin County area of Texas.
