My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I have tutored students in Reading(various areas)

I have wanted to teach students since the first grade. My mother has all my memoirs stored away. I have learned to be so creative in the English realm. I have created so many assignments over the years for my students. Each year the assignments are different. I have also used my creative models as manipulatives for students when they are struggling with English or reading. I teach students to explore and engage in the world of learning and not just follow someone else's lead. The world is filled with creativity I as well as my students have been on an exploration voyage for years.
My passion for teaching is enormous. I am an innovative teacher who really allow students to use their multiple intelligences. I feel in order for a student to successful with his/her learning he or she has to be comfortable with the exposed environment. I allow a lot of group collaboration in my classro ... read more

Great lessons made fun!

I lived in Brazil and taught English to Brazilians. I also taught Portuguese to Americans who were living in Brazil. When I moved back to the US, I started teaching English to Brazilians and to Spanish speakers. I was certified buy two different schools in Brazil and a course taken and passed in Miami, FL.
I use common phrases to start and then continue with common verbs and increase the vocabulary with common everyday words. I use my fun, outgoing personality to make sure that the lessons are not only fun but also stick in he mind for maximum retention of each lesson.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I currently teach reading comprehension.

I have always been a teacher. I taught swimming when I was 14 and French to fifth graders when I was in high school. I love working in education. I believe that all people, young and old, can learn and reach their potential. My teaching style is calm and patient. I have a good sense of humor and am creative. However, I have high expectations for my students and for myself. I find joy in learning and believe that teaching allows me to share this joy.
I have been a teacher for 40 years. I retired because family care-giving required my full attention. My studies prepared me to teach and my experience prepared me to meet the needs of each student. I am experienced in all areas of Language Arts; reading, writing, grammar and literature as well as elementary math, history, psychology and the arts. I can help students with the organizational and learning skills that are import ... read more

Creating a solid foundation for education

I have taught in Title I schools for 5 1/2 years in Kindergarten and 1st grade, and I have also worked with various tutoring companies, working with small groups of students in the areas of Reading and Math. During my tutoring experience I have worked with various age groups from ages Kindergarten to 5th grade. During my senior year of college at the University of West Florida, my principal at the school where I was doing my student teaching experience at, asked me to take on a full time long term substitute position in a 1st grade classroom. She handpicked a group of students who were struggling academically in their current classrooms and had me become their teacher while still enrolled in my last year of college. Huge academic gains took place and truly ignited my passion for working with struggling students, helping them learn in whatever way necessary to ensure success. In 2010 ... read more

Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects!

I am a recent college graduate working full time. I have quite a lot of tutoring experience assisting other college students pass rigorous business courses. I also have a five year old little brother who I have been tutoring in reading and writing since he turned three. He is already reading at 2nd grade level at five years old.
My style is fun and energetic! Learning does not have to be boring! I always try to find a fun and exciting way to help students learn their material. Keeping it fun will help them to remember the material, just like we remember music on the radio!

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator in the public sector, I recognize the growing gap in education. I also understand the pressure put on teacher's and the lack of time to get student's to where they need to be. It is imperative that students have the opportunity to be provided with academic assistance that is relative to what is needed to progress through school and life. With over twelve years of experience, a Masters in Business, and a Specializing in Educational leadership, I have the qualities that is needed for students achieve academic success.

I enjoy interacting with the children and the parents. It is important for everyone involved to participate in the process in order to see true academic success. I believe true academic success is improving in all areas even if it is a small improvement. My approach to teaching students includes first making sure that they understand the question or problem that is being presented (re-wording the question or problem), secondly I encourage the student to attempt to answer at least part of the question, and thirdly I would provide additional clues on how to resolve the remainder of the question. I firmly believe that all children are capable of reaching their full potential. I enjoy making a difference to our future leaders' lives.
While earning my Masters Degree in Computer Information Systems, I have tutored students in the area of Reading and Math. In the area of Reading and ... read more
