Reading Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cordova, TN

I teach grades Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade. I have been teaching since 2003. My passion are the early years but principals that I work for have told me that I am such a strong teacher that I should teach the upper primary grades. I prefer to lay an excellent foundation to get students grounded in the basic skills. Students that are taught by me excel and soar in the educational path. I teach it one way and if mastery is not reached I try it over and over again until the student meets the mark.

My teaching style is a combination of visual, and kinesthetic. Most of the students I have worked with in the past who are learning disabled learn best by seeing and doing( hands-on ) It works best for these students if they are able to see the work being presented and then try it themselves. In reading, I tend to like to have the student read a small section of the paragraph and describe a few things that stuck out in their mind. ( Create a picture ) For younger students I may actually have them draw what they read. I have 30+ years of teaching experience. I have worked with a wide variety of students from elementary age to adult learners. I am certified in special education, gifted education, elementary education, and have a master's degree in educational psychology. I have helped adult learners and at-risk youth earn their GEDs. I have worked with autistic, SLD, and ID students as wel

I have been a volunteer tutor at a local elementary school during their aftercare program. I have also been a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Memphis to a first grader who had trouble with math (adding,subtracting, and multiplication). I have also helped fellow peers study for tests and the Reading and English sections of the ACT. I believe a hands on approach to teaching a subject is the best way for a child to succeed. I believe that flashcards as well as games help younger children succeed in mastering a subject. Making a subject fun is key to helping a child tackle a tough subject. For older kids, practice tests are very helpful as well as flashcards. Encouragement and support is also an important part of mastery.

I have been reading since I was very young and had a post-college reading level in elementary school. My love for reading is what inspired me to get my Bachelor's in Writing and my Master's in Journalism. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Writing in 2008 and am graduating this May (2012) with a Master's Degree in Journalism. I worked as a English, Writing, and Grammar Tutor for two years at both my college and graduate school. I have had experience tutoring and writing a variety of styles and genres including creative writing, non-fiction, editorials, poetry, blogs, press releases, and feature articles. Instead of telling the student the correct answer, I prefer to help them understand why the answer is correct. With writing, there can be better ways to word a sentence or rearrange a paragraph and I try to help them figure this out on their own. That way, the next time they run into a s
