It is NEVER too late to learn, nor right to learn only 1 way

I summarized my basic experience in the Policy Statement. To expand on that, I have over 20 apps on an android tablet that are for clients who need early intervention in the areas of educational subjects, speech/breathing techniques, social and emotional recognition and assistive communication. I have a child safety filter infiltrated into the device so that the clients receive only what is appropriate to their learning. They cannot access the settings on the device, nor the regular web. I honor parents' input on what they think is appropriate for their child.
I utilize kinesthetic learning and encourage parental involvement within the tutoring sessions.

More About This Tutor...

In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating in an Adult Literacy Program. I assisted them in their GED preparation in Math and helped them set and reach their short-term educational goals. More recently, I worked with incarcerated individuals preparing them for the GED test, improving their testing skills, and promoting a positive environment for learning. I am actively tutoring students in Pre-Algebra on a weekly basis.
Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various ... read more

My comments on tutoring Composition : Taught composition as student teacher and in the seven years as a certified teacher in Arizona.

I have been a special education teacher in the Apache Junction Unified School District since August 2008 where I began as an inclusion teacher at Thunder Mountain Middle School as an emergency certified special education teacher. In order to maintain my job, I got my master's degree in Cross-Categorical Special Education. I have taught in a self-contained classroom, a resource language arts classroom as well as a co-teacher in Language Arts and Science. I have written many Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and have made sure that students in special education receive the services specified in the IEP. Currently I am a district representative in AJUSD and continue to carry out duties involving student services in special education. As a language arts teacher, I have taught composition, creative writing, reading comprehension of both literary and informational texts, poetry to include ... read more

Humorous experienced tutor with unconventional methods!

My approach is a little different using humor to destress students. I believe in each student understanding the underlying concepts via instruction, physical materials and hands-on activities. I have a lot of patience. I love working with different and even difficult and shy students.
I am a seasoned veteran tutor, and I enjoy, no love, mentoring, teaching, volunteering, training, or instructing almost as a hobby! I am especially passionate about career education and counseling as well as psychology and mathematics. Oooh and English too! I enjoy playing guitar and writing, also playing and instructing playing soccer.

I am an experienced, caring tutor.

My teaching style is adaptable to the student.
I have over 10 years of experience tutoring. I have tutored elementary to college students and even taught basic reading through Sylvan's Ace-It tutoring. I have extensive experience working one-on-one and also in groups. I was a Supplemental Instruction Leader all through my college years which allowed me to work with groups and instructors, creating sample tests and quizzes, and helping individuals with different learning styles. I have assisted others with learning Spanish, even when English was not the first language, and helped high school up to college students.

More About This Tutor...

An outstanding teacher knows that ‘practice makes perfect’. I drill my students, thus obviating the fact that ‘practice makes perfect’. This rule, however, does not only apply to my classes, it also applies to my instructional techniques. I cut a video for the Student Teacher Monitor at Northern Arizona University that he might demonstrate the animation a teacher needs to be effective. I reviewed the video and found an area that I needed to work on. Thus, review, practice, and repetition will not only aid my students, it also helps me to improve.
My experience as an educator covers the range from grade six up to, an including grade twelve, grade twelve honors, and 'A' and 'O' levels in England. During this time frame, eleven years as a professional educator, I have served as the Head of the English Department at East Catholic High School in Detroit, Michigan, I served on the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated with my Master's in Chemical Engineering in 1985 and have used that experience and my life experience to excel at the tutoring that I have done over the last 15+ years. I have tutored all levels of mathematics, high school and college Chemistry and SAT/ACT preparation and study. My education has been invaluable to my ability to help students excel.
I am relaxed, calm, and patient when tutoring. I use graphical, verbal and/or written methods dependent on the skill set and approach that is best for each student. I believe that every student has an innate ability to learn. It is the tutor's job to find out the approach that will yield the best results with each individual student.

A Little Bit About Me...

As part of my lifelong love of learning and teaching, I began tutoring when I was just fourteen years old. While in high school, I usually tutored math (mostly algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and general science. Once I moved to college, I began to work with middle school as well as high school students again in mostly math and science. However, I have a BA in politics and history; therefore I am extremely confident in many liberal arts subjects. I have also earned an MBA which helped to hone my grammatical and communication skills. I am currently an on-call teacher for two local school districts. I teach all levels, all subjects.
I love to teach. I have experience with 5-50 years old and, if pressed, could not name a favorite group. I believe that everyone can learn; some of us just process information in different ways. As a tutor it is my job to discover how a student proc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a big heart and teach using my heart. I teach towards all learning abilities slowing down when I need to or speeding up the process if need be. I love my students and I work with them as hard as I can to push both of us to success. I am very patient. This past year I worked with students who were behind their fellow classmates and I reached success with almost all of them.
I have been in some type of teaching experience for five years. I have interned at two Junior High Schools and one High school. I have also completed my student teaching in English at a Junior High school. I currently tutor a friend’s sister in English and I have worked with students since I was a Sophomore in High School.

Both my education and work experience lend themselves to this position as reading tutor. In school, I worked with all ages in relation to my museum studies coursework, to better understand historic events, places, eras, and people. In designing museum programming and educational initiatives, I worked with young children up to senior adults in the process. My university-level history and women's studies background has exposed me to a wide range of contextual information, and I am eager to utilize this while helping others become more literate.
As a university-level professor, I understand that only about 20% of my students will prosper from a strictly lecture-style course. I have explored other means of learning with my students by encouraging them to read and interpret primary sources (sources written or objects used/produced by historical agents), discuss what they've learned in c ... read more
