My comments on tutoring Literature : Skillful.

I like a conversational, relaxed style in which the students are encouraged to speak English as much as possible. I often have students repeating useful, whole sentences and phrases.Mistakes are okay! Humor is okay! Questions are encouraged.
I am a very experienced teacher of English as a Second Language (ESL). I served for three years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Afghanistan and the Fiji Islands. I also taught ESL in Japan, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. I have also taught ESL for many years here in the USA to both adults and children. I have experience with many foreign cultures.

Let me hlep your kids learn with loving guidance.

Twenty years experience teaching middle and high school, physical science, chemistry and biology. I also taught home/hospital kids all their subjects from English to history to creative writing. I also speak Spanish, having studied it in high school and college, and then living in Central America and Puerto Rico for almost ten years.
Working one-on-one is my forte, where I can quickly feel out my students as to where the problems might be and how best to address them.

UT-SAN ANTONIO STUDENT WITH DIVERSE SKILL SET

I tend to be really flexible and try to adapt my teaching style to the learning style of the student. For students who tend to be more tactile, I might have them handle apples if a math problem references apples. If a student is working on a writing assignment, I will offer suggestions (such as marking spelling/grammar/punction mistakes) and help them learn how to correct the errors so they won't continue to make the same errors in the future.

A Little Bit About Me...

My missionary experiences informed me of one idea: people are important and they have to be considered person-by-person. Those experiences have led me to take a teaching philosophy and teaching practice that is person-centric. I work to understand the rhetorics, theories, practices, and experiences that inform each student and the classroom as a whole. In practice, this manifests in extensive talking and co-writing (on daily assignments) to assess where exactly these students are at and how I can help them. I believe that each student, each individual, has the desire and capacity to learn, so I am constantly working to demystify composition so they can truly see how language can inform them and make their lives better.
Applicable to this job, I remember my high school years and the processes I had during my English and Composition assignments. I completed an English Bachelor’s degr ... read more

I began my teaching career in South San Antonio, teaching at both the elementary level (K and 3) and at the middle school (6-8). At Shepard Middle School, I implemented a writing program that was credited with bringing standardized (TAAS at the time) scores up substantially, garnering our school a large monetary award from the state. After twelve years, I moved to the North East ISD, where I taught English at both Nimitz Middle School and Barbara Bush Middle School. I retired last June, but I still love working with children of all ages.
I believe in relationships first. If a teacher knows her/his students, she/he can usually find what motivates them and use that to gain their trust and interest. Having taught for as long as I have, I know of many different ways to reach students. A positive attitude and an easy going personality go a long way, and I am known for both.

My teaching credentials are in English and education. However... At the middle school level and high school level, I have taught/tutored English composition, geography, history, social studies, government, economics, and computer applications. At the college and adult level, I have taught/tutored English composition, oral communications (public speaking and debate), business and business administration, resume writing, advanced computer applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the Open Office Suite).

A Little Bit About Me...

In my experience as a tutor, I have acquired the highly important skill of adaptability. Certainly, particular techniques and strategies such as asking provocative questions are helpful with any student of any age. More importantly, though, I have learned that the best tutors are those who can shape each session to the tutee's individual needs and personality. This is most easily accomplished in developing a flexible approach constituted by a blend of directive and non-directive tactics. With this approach, my goal is always to aid the tutee in feeling comfortable and confident in developing new ways of thinking about his or her work, and, from there, helping him or her along the journey to success.
In 2008, as an upper-level English major, I accepted a position with Schreiner University wherein I hoped to use my education in the concentration of composition. For the rest of my co ... read more

My goal is to help students succeed in learning and in gaining confidence. My teaching style is to get the student engaged through multi-sensory and high interest sources. Utilizing student’s strengths helps gain early success and a willingness to grow and be challenged in new areas. I consider my 25 years of teaching experience to be a rich storehouse from which I can draw for future opportunities.
It has been my privilege to teach at many levels and venues over my career which started in the mid 70’s. Elementary Education was my first major, and I enjoyed teaching in a Christian setting at 5th and 6th grade levels for many years. I opened my own Reading Center to help special students. Later I went to graduate school at St John’s College. I’ve taught Jr. High, H.S., and Jr. College.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a professional teacher, I see my role as a facilitating educator, supporting adult students in what they need and want to know and learn. It is the teacher's responsibility to serve the education needs of the student in a communicative, patient and enjoyable manner. I believe learning new skills and absorbing new knowledge, in themselves, are two of the greatest joys of life. Essentially, learning is a pleasure. As with all adult education, the actual responsibility for learning is the student's; the teacher creates purposeful lessons, guides, corrects, assesses and, certainly, supports and praises all efforts. Also critical to the success of the student-teacher relationship is mutual trust and respect.
