We learn from our own mistakes.

I taught Arabic as a second language in Plainfield Indiana to students of different ages and of both sexes. I taught all language skills with some concentration on reading skills and conversation. The size of the class was relatively big as I had about 40 students. I encouraged students to express their ideas in the form of written sentences and the I would go over what they wrote in order to correct their sentences by showing the how to construct a sound Arabic sentences.
I encourage my students to be the core of teaching by stimulating them to engage in discussions about certain topics of their liking. Also, I encourage them express themselves even though they might make mistakes. I help them find why is it a mistake and how to correct them.

Writing is hard. For everyone. But it can be easier.

I allow students to discover answers by themselves by prompting them with questions. This hands off technique reflects the minimalist philosophy of the writing center I worked for, and I have found it is a far more effective way to help students grasp concepts which will globally make their writing better. Understanding the fundamentals of good writing is the most important tool to becoming a good writer; where merely diagnosing an issue and giving an answer for it leads to much more lazy writing in the future. That's what makes fundamental understanding so important, because it carries over into future assignments.
As a student, I earned a 3.87 in my major of English Arts, while both working as an employee for the school writing center and as a contributor for the school newspaper. I also did a lot of moonlighting outside of the writing center as a personal tutor for undergrads, h ... read more

I have a background in Psychology, so I am extremely intuitive with what a person needs regarding their learning style. I am able to adapt my teaching style to their needs. Patience is something that I have learned over the years, so I am able to work well with those who just need a little extra attention. One of my greatest talents is being able to put myself in another's shoes, and therefore understand why it is something is not clicking. This way I can develop their skills through their best way of communicating.
I began tutoring people when I was in the eigth grade. I decided I wanted to help out at the school across the street from my middle school in Colorado. I enrolled in a class that allowed us to go and assist the teachers and help the students. I fell in love with kids then for sure.

I have been teaching elementary students since 1995 in 1st and 4th grades. I have taught all subject areas, especially language arts and math. I want to encourage students to think for themselves and to work through their learning in a way that makes sense to them. Here is a Greek proverb to consider: All good things good to know are difficult to learn.
Whenever possible, I use highlighters, colored pencils, hands-on manipulatives, and other items to help students learn.

I really try to find out how the student learns best as well as what the student specifically is having issues doing. I then try to target those areas of weakness using methods that appeal to how that student learns. I very much like to incorporate the use of technology to make the job easier and more engaging for the student whenever possible.
I have trained adults for about 5 years in total both in a business and education setting. I have taught/tutored students for 3 years in total. My strengths truly lie in my ability to teach writing and grammar. I can teach this from the elementary to college level.

My teaching philosophy is to set high standards and to work diligently with students to achieve them. One's ability to communicate ideas clearly is the cornerstone of both academic and corporate success. The way to achieve this is to first become a critical reader. A student must understand the pattern of a well-formed essay before writing one of his or her own. Once a student has grasped the above, we develop original ideas that he or she can fully support with textual evidence. As with anything else, success in the development of strong writing skills takes time and constant revision. However, a student who is well-trained in writing a logical and convincing argument will prove successful in all subjects and certainly in a future career.
The majority of my teaching and tutoring experience comes from instructing college freshmen in how to write intelligent, thesis-driven essays. I ... read more
