Literature Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Bremen, KY

As an editor, writer and avid reader for my entire life, I have reading comprehension and editing skills that would be valuable in helping others. I have 15 years of experience as a journalist, editor, freelance writer and higher education development writer. In my postion with Hearst Business Media, I spent a little over a year working with Hofstra University interns in our Long Island, New York office, mentoring them in reporting, editiing and writing. I am also a parent who has long been active in the education system as an advocate for my children. My approach to teaching others is a holistic one. I believe each students learns at his or her own pace, based on individual interest levels. As the parent of Montessori students for many years, I believe each student must be motivated and given opportunities to develop his or her interests from direction provided by a mentor or instr

I have taught high school and middle school English, as well as one year of teaching at an alternative school. Additional experience would include substitute teaching, Boys and Girls Club instruction, being a Girl Scout leader, and Sunday school instruction. I also have some experience as a homebound teacher and tutor. I am currently working on my Master's Degree in English Literature at WKU and substitute teaching. My teaching style is very interactive, as I believe that a student learns more quickly and retains more if he/she is actively involved. Therefore I work together with the student through the assigned task, giving independent study when needed. Some example tasks may include reading aloud together, reading silently followed by opportunity for comprehension through a question-answer session, and choices of writing tasks to reflect on reading. I try to understand the student's c

From my experience I found that the process of working side by side with my student as they strive to figure out a problem or grasp a concept is what I most enjoy about tutoring. As a person I am patient, responsible, and encouraging. I enjoy being creative to help meet my students’ learning styles and needs, and I know how to prioritize learning tasks to help students focus. Also, I recognize that success and progress are individual to a student and their abilities. The focus will be for the student to get the most out of what they are learning, and along the way to acquire a love for learning itself. As a tutor I have had 5 years of experience working with students of many different ages and a variety of backgrounds. I majored in Spanish in college, but I have also taught Latin and English. Because of this specialty in language, I understand well how to teach grammar and good reading,

It is very important to assess what the student already knows and the level of understanding they hold at the beginning. It is also important to make sure that what they know is correct and that they are not confused or misunderstanding the material. After which, getting to know the individual style of learning for each student will insure that time is used efficiently and that the student is understanding and retaining the material being taught. Working one-on-one is the best teaching method; however, when that is not possible, working in small groups is also very effective. *Worked as a tutor/translator for three years at the Housing Authority of Bowling Green - Learning Center.

As a graduate of a small liberal arts college, I have spent many hours volunteering to help tutor my classmates in both biology and the humanities. I hold a bachelor's degree in biology. I have learned extensive grammatical skills through my school's intensive general studies program. I am confident in my ability to tutor students in mathematics, science, English and the humanities at the K-12 level and biology and English at the college level. I believe that students best learn from doing. My role as a tutor is not just to provide answers, but to facilitate and encourage learning. However I am also able to provide a knowledge base in a number of subjects to help answer questions the student may be struggling with. I am comfortable working with children of all ages to help them meet their full learning potential as students.

The key to being a good teacher is being patient. I believe children learn best in a positive and stress-free environment. When a child does good on the work then I praise them and if they make a mistake then I explain to them the error in the homework. When I was a small child, I remember my teacher being patient and helping me along the way. I feel that although children learn in different ways and different paces that being patient with children is a universal and effective teaching style. I am currently a Senior at Western Kentucky University majoring in Creative Advertising with a minor in Computer Information Systems. I have several years experience in tutoring children and I am a strong believer in education. I am currently a Child Program Facilitator at the Boys & Girls Club where I read to children and help with their homework. I also have volunteer expereince as a Arts and Cra
