I worked in my country Dominican Republic. I teach in my country at school and at university. Here in the U.S. I teach children and adults in the church. I was teaching in a kindergarten ABC Happy Kids. I consider myself a serious person and easy to transmit the teaching directed at others.
I love teaching. I love the personalized instruction. I help the student with positive stimuli. The time with my students is benefisioso using repetition and compensation with tasks developed by students. I like to let students work to do at home to refresh teaching

All people can learn, you just have to find a way to make the student understand the information, if its hands on or reading or a combination of both. Children need the tools and the direction and if you provide them both, the sky is the limit. I want to make a difference in a child's life.
I have been working with the public for over 20 years, in that time I have worked with young adults as well as mature adults. I have also done some substitute teaching in elementary and high school levels. My experience is in food service and have dealt with many walks of life. I am a very committed member of Lincoln Kiwanis International as well as a member of the Central United Methodist Church. While I was a student at the University of Missouri I received a 5 hour A in Chemistry.

As I am a current Ph.D. student in English Literature, I have an immense interest in education--not only my own education but also the education of others. As I have been working on my two graduate degrees--an MA and a Ph.D in English Literature--I have been fully invested in preparing myself to become a teacher of English, literature, and composition. My BA and MA degrees are both in English Literature, and I am currently in the final stages of my Ph.D. work; therefore, I have a sophisticated knowledge of the English language, and my six years of teaching at the college level have made me a competent teacher of all concerns related to reading and writing. Additionally, I have worked as a tutor since 2001 in a variety of subject matters, but more recently in the field of English. I currently am a tutor at the University of Arkansas' Quality Writing Center. Here, I work to help students, ... read more

I have enjoyed substitute teaching since 1991; it was a part- time occupation that worked well as I re-entered the college scene in order to advance my AA degree to a BA in Political Science. Life and destiny urged me to earn a teacher's certification in Texas, where I later worked as an ESL 4th-5th grade teacher in the Waco (Texas) Independent School District for three years. A move to Kentucky to be closer to my aging mother resulted in six years of working as the Adair County School District's Gifted and Talented Coordinator and ESL/ELL Coordinator. I have recently married and my husband and I manage and run a horse ranch while I substitute teach. My background is myriad, including writing and freelance tutoring.
My teaching style is highly creative to borderline eccentric! I have extensive training in the various learning styles and instinctively target the student's learn ... read more

More About This Tutor...

For me, teaching is a calling, a passion, something you have to love. After a successful career in private industry I was unhappy and missing something. After some soul-searching I realized my dream and became a teacher. I feel that the teacher should help facilitate the learning experience for the student. I believe in setting the bar high and helping the student reach their full potential. My teaching style involves a variety of model to best fit the learning style of the student. It has been my experience that tying in what you learn about into the world today and applying that knowledge is key to student engagement.
I became a teacher after 10 years in the private sector. I taught in California in the Westminster School District for 12 years (2 as a substitute/non-contract and 10 under contract). My subjects have included language arts, social science, and U.S. History. I have ... read more

During my college career, I tutored for two years. I tutored first and second year undergraduates, consistently dealing with issues concerning reading comprehension, paper construction, grammar, and developmental thinking. I have also been teaching the last year (9th grade English) at a private school. My education (BA in English) successfully prepared me to teach the basics of English, i.e. grammar, sentence construction, identifying parts of speech, etc, as well as the less concrete ideas, such as theories, literary trends, intense analysis, and the like.
My teaching style purposefully reflects the great teachers I have had. While I consider my subject and field of study greatly important, I realize that all work and no play kills desire. A subject, especially English, has to come alive; students have to relate. Of course grammar is always the hard part to "dress up," but that's ... read more

I am a licensed attorney and a skilled writer. I earned two degrees from the University of Arkansas: a BA in Political Science and International Relations, and a BA in Spanish and European Studies. In college I tutored for Kaplan Test Prep and for the Learning 2 Learn Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. After graduating from law school, I volunteered as a tutor in the Austin Library Tutoring Program.

I enjoy teaching and working with students of all ages. Learning happens best in an environment of mutual respect, and I am always learning from my students even as I teach them. I encourage students to think through their learning process, to ask questions, to explain things to me in their own words to promote understanding, to learn how to find info ... read more

I enjoy seeing children blossom through education and helping them reach their full potential. I like to help children persevere until they have a thorough understanding of the concepts they are struggling with. Hands on learning helps the student to grasp these concepts more easily. I desire to make a difference in each of my students lives by providing them with the best education possible.
My undergraduate degree from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan was a major in Home Economics Education and a minor in Spanish. Ten years later I completed my Master of Arts in Teaching in Elementary Education at the same University. I have a total of ten years experience on the elementary, junior high and high school levels. My experience was mostly in private church schools teaching from single grades, all subjects, to multi-grades, all subjects. I taught Spanish for one ... read more

Throughout college, I held myself to a high educational standard, and maintained a 3.92 GPA. I majored in music, minored in chemistry, and completed extensive coursework in the math and science areas.

More About This Tutor...

As a long-term adjunct instructor, I have successfully cultivated an effective set of best teaching practices relative to the English language and Communications. I make every conscious attempt to relate to my students as individuals and to meet their educational needs. Additionally, I exert much effort with students to impress upon them the importance of education in their lives and the fact that learning can be totally fun.
I find it rewarding to teach children and adults the necessary skills that allow them to obtain full English literacy. One of the greatest accomplishments in the course of the educational process is the acquisition of full, quality literacy; it is the foundation. Consequently, I prefer a step-by-step, pragmatic method of teaching English language skills: phonics, words, syllables, consonants, verbs, sentences, punctuation, grammar, etc.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching philosophy involves connecting with individual students. One of my strengths is identifying strong points in a student’s performance and teaching him to tap into successful facets of his/her performance. In English, I was trained in (and advocate) “Faulkner English” as developed by Claude Faulkner and taught at the University of Arkansas. This method employs a certain amount of deconstruction of sentences, beginning with the most simple, and can be geared to any level. In French, I do use some repetition, and, yes, memorizing conjugations, as a means of making material available to the student. I also use linguistic games, skits, simple verses and play, when appropriate.
I have taught either French or English, either in the classroom or as a private tutor, since 1989, when I was recruited as an undergraduate to teach Elementary French. For the next 5 years I taught ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While in attendance at the University of Arkansas, I earned two degrees, a B.A. in Political Science and a B.A. in American Studies. In addition to these degrees, I also earned a minor in History. As I was completing my undergraduate degree, I participated in varsity athletics, maintained a part-time job, was active in student government, and volunteered through AAO. I am capable of aiding in history, geometry, algebra, and other basic courses.
I love to help children learn all that they possibly can because I feel that a quality education is the great equalizer. I am easy-going, task-oriented, and very passionate about helping those who may be having trouble in learning something.

A Little Bit About Me...

I absolutely love learning and helping others accomplish their goals (just ask my husband, who I've helped hold down a full-time job while going back to school). I also love studying for tests and make exam prep fun. I am very organized and motivational. I have a knack for making a daunting task seem easy by breaking it down two small tasks and goals. I am an EXCELLENT communicator and very reliable. Your child will know exactly what is expected and will have a detailed plan for how he or she will accomplish his or her goals.
I am an award-winning journalist and editor with 10 years of experience. I graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor's degree in journalism.

By the completion, in May, of my graduate degree, I will have taught 45 hours of undergraduate English courses in Composition/Rhetoric, Business Writing, Literature, Creative Writing and Essay Writing. I have also, in previous summers, taught college-prep English classes at Gonzaga Preparatory School in Spokane, Washington. My other experiences as an instructor include four semesters as a writing tutor for the University of Arkansas Athletic Department, a five-week writing workshop for fifth graders at the Fayetteville Public Library, and active participation in the University of Arkansas' Writers in the Schools program, which sends graduate students to high-needs grade schools, junior highs, and high schools to teach poetry workshops.
