Creative, Outgoing, Compassionate, New English Teacher

In essence, education is a means of identifying with the world through a variety of lenses. Evidence of learning does not always come through a student’s ability to perform well on a test or paper. While basic understanding of content is imperative to the success of all students, I also believe that the true essence of the written word is self-expression. Whether that is personal expression, expressions of society and culture as a whole, or merely the expression of the petals on a flower—students should view literacy as a medium for transformation. With this comes the full understanding and appreciation of language arts in academia and in society.
I firmly believe that the most vital ingredient for student success is passion. I am aware that most students do not walk into a classroom with this; which is why it is my objective to spark an appetite for the written word by focusin ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a certified teacher and have been working with students of the elementary age for four years through my college career. I completed my student teaching with Fairfax County Public Schools and with Department of Defense Education Activity in Heidelberg, Germany. I have worked with students on all levels and feel that getting them interested in what is being taught is the first step in learning. I am a lifelong learner and would like to teacher your student how to become one too.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have implemented individualized reading and writing programs for students ranging from pre-K to adult; gave one-on-one attention to special needs students in phonics, context-based reading, and fact retention; cultivated students’ understanding of grammar/punctuation, sentence/paragraph construction, and general cohesiveness in creative and academic writing; worked one-on-one with high school students on SAT critical reading and writing sections, devoting extra attention to vocabulary expansion.
I am keenly aware of how busy most students are, so my aim is for tutoring to feel like something they get to do and not something they have to do. Teaching revitalizes my own love for learning, a love I hope to impart in a gentle, patient manner. I believe in honoring the variance in learning styles, and I empower my students to engage with material in ways that feel natural to them.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is logical, orderly, patient and methodical. Children like me because I am a good listener. I pay attention to what they are saying. I prefer teaching those motivated to learn. That is why I recently worked with immigrant community. They know that better English skills will lead to better jobs. I don’t mind repeating material or presenting it in a different way to be understood. Feedback is important, like having the student explain it back to me in their own words. I guess I use the Socratic method to ask questions to draw out the student’s interest and knowledge.
My strong English language training in high school led to honors placement in college English composition and literature courses. I hold a BS in Zoology, a MS in Entomology and a BS in Computer Science, which indicate my logical mind and love for academics. As Graduate School Teaching A ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am actually in the process with my students, their victories are my victories. I want my students to be proud of the work that they have done and the achievements that they have made. I give my students the information, I show them how to apply the information through modeling, I practice with them and then I release them to apply the technique themselves. Afterward I assign an project for an artifact that allows them through written words to translate their knowledge to another person. It is my goal to prepare them for life outside of the classroom, failure is not an option.
I have a proven success rate in assisting my students in excelling on standardized tests. In the 2007-2008 school year my students achieved double digit gains on the MSAs (Middle School Assessments). Also during my experience I have moved basic and proficient students to advanced levels on the standa ... read more
