Psychology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Clute, TX

I am a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology with a local school district. I have 6 year's experience working with children and adults. I also provide trainings/workshops for colleagues. I also train LSSP interns and trainees, conduct cognitive/academic testing, psychological testing, counseling, consultation, functional behavioral assessments, attend ARD meetings, Manifestation Determination Review meetings, and assist in the RtI process. I never make others feel bad about providing an incorrect response and use the person's strength to help them learn the material.

Experience tutoring math to elementary age children through adults in college. I have earned a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of New Mexico, and I am working on completing pre-med requirements at the University of Houston Clear Lake. I have completed 15 credit hours in Biological Sciences with a GPA of 4.0. I also have two years of experience as a community mentor, working with elementary school children. I enjoy teaching children. I normally have a very relaxed style, but I emphasize setting goals and completing the task at hand. I gain a great deal of personal satisfaction in helping others learn. I believe the most important attributes of a good teacher are, 1. keeping the student's best interest in mind, and 2. maintaining a positive attitude and keeping the learning process interesting for the student.

I think it takes a lot for one teacher to reach all of types of students who are all at different levels of interest in the subject being taught as well as at different levels of understanding. However, I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to give them all equal opportunity to learn. It is not just about grades and assignments, that is just the means to an end, but it is about learning. In order for the students to learn, the teacher needs to be passionate about the students as well as the subject that is being taught. That will instill in the students a desire to learn and understand. In having a science background, I have not only learned laboratory skills and reasoning skills, but I have learned how to increase efficiency, communicate in a clear manner, and write in a way that is direct and clear. I enjoy learning, and I instill that passion into my students as best I can.

My teaching style is thus: First engage the student about what subject he likes, engage in small talk and then tutor the assignments. ALways praise the student and point his or her strong abilities and plus tell the student they can do this assignment. First I let the student try the assignment and then I will jump in and help. Since moving to Houston in 1999, I have accrued teaching experience in the following venues: Adminsitration, helping students with time management skills and homework. Taught my own children phonics, constructed science fair experiments and writing assignments. Tutor: Tutored a child with learning disabilities in Social Science, Language Arts, Spelling and History.

I currently work as a professional science/health writer, and I have a keen grasp of literature comprehension, grammar, and composition. I have tutored students in English, math, and science. Additionally, I have volunteered as a soccer coach, Sunday school teacher, and "Hands-On Science" instructor in the classroom. I previously taught private swimming lessons and piano lessons for children. I believe the key to academic success is ensuring the student feels a sense of accomplishment and pride in self. My method of teaching focuses on determining the best learning style and beginning with lessons that will bring about success, and then challenging the student gradually. I try to make learning fun, while encouraging questions and an "out-of-the-box" approach to problem solving. The ultimate goal is to develop an independent and motivated learner.

After many years as a student, I recognize what a difference a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and caring teacher can make in a child's educational experience. I strive to fulfill this role, emphasizing interactive and hands-on learning at deeper levels of processing. I have worked with students struggling with motivation, learning disabilities, psychological, and physical issues; I firmly believe that all children can learn, and learn best if their needs, barriers, and learning type (e.g., auditory) are considered individually. I am patient, flexible, non-judgmental, creative, and caring. I am passionate about working with and for others. I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Psychology and a minor in French. During my college experience, I worked with students of various ages, from elementary school through college, in different capacities, including tutor, mentor, guidan
