Writing is one of my top subjects!

I have an incredible passion for teaching. I am currently in the process of getting my Bachelors in Secondary Education with a focus in English. I have knowledge of the structure and content of the English language and thoroughly enjoy teaching others composition, spelling, creative writing, reading, vocabulary, etc. I do not have much experience yet in a classroom setting but have volunteered at a middle school while getting my Associates degree. I helped a teacher at a middle school to teach students that were having difficulty in various subjects.
I am a hands on teacher, probably because I am a hands on learner. I find it difficult to learn when an instructor is solely lecturing. I believe that constant practice and hands on lessons are the most effective ways of learning.

Your Child's Best Interest.

I have student taught since my senior year in high school as a credit. I have tutored family members and coworkers. I am currently a third year student at Glendale Community College (GCC) and my major is Secondary Education in English. I student taught Senior English last semester and this experience has proved that this is the place that I want to be. I plan on going to ASU in the Fall of 2019 to continue my education.
I want your child to be able to feel comfortable to ask questions. A lot of students are scared to look "less than" in front of their peers if they ask questions. English and Literature are subjects meant to be questioned and not just read. I believe that your child has every capability to learn and my job is to help them turn on the light bulb to help them see that reading and writing aren't as hard as they seem to be.

I have enjoyed training accountants,lawyers and real estate agents and would relish the opportunity to work with and train prospective accountants. It is a great satisfaction to share my knowledge and see individuals I have trained become successful and then continue to call me for advice and guidance when a problem arises. As a trial attorney I learned how to deal with people, how to organize my matters for a presentation to a judge,a jury and even IRS agents.
I am a retired CPA and Attorney at Law.As trial counsel for a Major law firm I handled all tax related matters and also retained a parnership in a CPA firm. All aspects of accounting from complicated audits to write-ups and tax preparation as well as Federal and State tax audits were handled by me. For several years I was on the speakers bureau for the Bar Assoc.and made presentations to other attorneys. I more recently obt ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Students learn with a variety of learning methods. Some students are more kinetic, while others are more auditory or visual. I think it is important for students to develop self- esteem and see themselves succeeding, and that is what I work on first including staying on task. I have always used Madeline Hunters guidelines for successful lesson plans, which includes using manipulatives to assist students in understanding concepts. My focus is on educational strategies such as rules of phonics, Spalding, a variety of reading and math programs to assist students in remembering what they are learning so that the student can complete their assignments and use in their future education.
My education background began in 1990. That year I earned my AA in education from Scottsdale Community College in the area of education. In 1992 I received my BA from Arizona State University in educ ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love being with and teaching children, especially when it comes to reading and books. I find it highly gratifying to see the joy that comes with learning to love to read and the subsequent doors of learning that open as a result. Though kids have different learning styles, I believe that books and the ability to read are a universal passion that transcends all backgrounds and abilities. I strive to make a difference with students that, by teaching them to read (and write?) well, it can open up brand-new worlds for them.
As an English major and writer/editor with 15 years of experience, I have honed my grammatical, language and communication skills through the written word and verbal expression. With volunteer work at women's shelter's, I read to and helped elementary-age kids learn to read during my time spent with them.

A Little Bit About Me...

My superior at Yavapai College who monitored my classes in order to write his evaluation, remarked once that "...you have the patience of an angel." I don't know whether this is entirely correct since I haven't had a personal encounter with such a heavenly body, but I consider myself to be a kind and patient instructor who also loves for her students to learn. Since each child/adult learns in a different way, I believe that it is important to pay attention to individual learning styles. I am creative, resourceful, and constructive. I believe that praise and making learning fun goes a long way. I have taught German privately and have been impressed how fast my young students have been able to read, write and speak with no prior knowledge.
I earned my BA in PR and Journalism. My course of study required me to be able to write and spell correctly, as well as being able to form gram ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked as a writing tutor with a diversity of college students, ages 16-70, at Yavapai College, Prescott Campus, for the past ten years and continue to do so. I also worked at Yavapai College testing ESL students for several years during those years. In 1995, I taught English to elementary and middle school children in PR China for three months. Finally, I taught French at the Canterbury School in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1987-88.
I love to tutor, and I am very knowledgeable about English and French. I believe I am effective as a tutor due to my patient and reinforcing personality, and I communicate my love of learning to my students. I use a variety of creative approaches to language learning which I have developed over the years. I believe in the inherent worth and potential of every student. My goal is not only to impart knowledge and learning strategies, but also to ... read more

As I am a very auditory/visual learner, I tend to to lean towards both auditory and visual techniques. I question the students as to what he or she intended to say in their writing, what is the intent of the paper--will this persuade the reader, inform the reader, compare/contrast ideas-- and see if the writer is in fact accomplishing this goal through effect word choices, sound reasoning, specific examples, and other components of writing. The hope is to edit the document for clarity geared towards the reader of the document and to polish the writing skills of the student.
Since receiving my teaching certificate in English from the state of California in 1985, I have been employed as a Guest Teacher within Tracy, Ca.; Stockton, Ca.; Modesto, Ca.; Turlock, Ca.; and, currently, in Prescott Valley, Az.

I have always enjoyed tutoring students and seeing them "get" the subjects we are touching on. The look on their face during this moment is priceless. I fully understand that everyone learns things in different ways. While one student may be able to memorize and understand facts one way, say by repetition, another student may learn the information by understanding the background and context that it comes from. I am very patient and flexible with students and realize that if they do not understand the material that it is not their fault, but rather I need to try a different approach with them. A good education is not only valuable in life, but I feel that students gain self confidence when they see their grades improve and they actually understand their class work. This is exactly why I love helping them with their school work.
In high school I was able to tutor students in all subj ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have found that there is nothing so rewarding as that moment when a subject 'clicks' for a student. By staying positive and adaptive I believe it is possible to guide students to finding solutions on their own. I work at finding new ways to approach common stumbling blocks and try to show students how applicable math is to everyday life. If it had not been for a few extraordinary teachers, I may not have felt it possible to accomplish what I have. Teachers should be positive and inpirational and I always strive to attain that goal.
I received my B.S. in physics and went on to work at a Community College tutoring math. I enjoyed this work immensely and received excellent reviews from the students. While working at the college I also tutored middle school and high school students privately. In High School I took a class on Society and the Child which involved tutoring english and m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Growing up with four younger sisters, I have learned the valuable skills of patience and understanding. I approaching teaching and tutoring as a collaborative effort in which I treat each student with dignity and respect. I find treating students as equals while still providing the material in an engaging manner allows the students to grow and find their own voice which has proven to further and better cement the material in the student’s mind.
I have spent much of my time as an undergraduate mentoring underclassmen at ASU, not just to better understand their economics and political science classes, but also how to be a better, well-rounded students. As a Russian linguist I am qualified in a number of English linguistics subjects as well. Continuing that theme, I tutored my peers at law school in property, administrative and contracts law. I’ve been found to relate to well to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that there is no substitute for individual instruction and that all students benefit from receiving one-on-one feedback from an instructor. I am friendly, patient, laid back, but also dedicated to helping others achieve their best. I love to find ways to make the learning process fun and/or unique, as my experience has taught me that this greatly assists in retention of the lession. Finally I am optimistic and believe that expressing a positive attitude and encouraging others to adopt positive attitudes greatly improves the learning process.
I have a BA in History and an MS in Library and Information Studies, which provided me with study/research skills and knowledge of history and ancient literature. I gained grammatical and writing skills from writing papers, essays, and case studies. I have three years of experience as a substitute teacher where I taught a variety ... read more

I find that students have their own unique style of learning. I also believe that by establishing a solid set of study skills while catering to individual techniques of the student, the learning process can grow and thrive. Therefore, I would combine my training in theatre and performance to make learning an enjoyable process. I have a very kind and patient disposition which helps foster a supportive learning environment. The most rewarding education comes from self-discovery and I firmly believe that the best teaching comes from this principle.
At this point in my professional career, I currently do not have any experience teaching in a formal classroom environment. However, my experience does extend into performance education, as I have three years experience working for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in which I increased participation of general visitor and school ... read more
