To Help Your Child Succeed At Advancing In English Studies

I was an elementary education major for 2.5 years before following my specific passion to writing and literature in my Junior year to finish up school. I graduated with a 3.35 QPA from Slippery Rock University in May of 2015! I have completed reading instructional courses in K-6th elementary education as well as courses in literature and reading assessment. I also have experience working with many high-and-low-incidence disabilities such as children who are deaf or blind, have Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorders, or Aspberger's disorders as well.
Hands-on. We all learn more when we experience new things, and get to try them ourselves. Children are more engaged when there is something for the them to do to interact with the materials provided.

A Little Bit About Me...

First I assess exactly what material the child needs to learn and then develop a timeline for reaching the goal. In the initial meeting, I seek to establish interpersonal comfort. If comfortable with his tutor, the child will not hesitate to ask questions if I move ahead too fast. Then I want to assess his present level of attainment and how he learns best. It is also necessary to assess communication skills so that I can avoid talking over his head.
As an undergraduate at UCLA, I volunteered for tutoring inner city fifth and sixth graders. I found it natural to sense their insecurity, frustration, or lack of self-esteem. I then chose an appropriate starting point in a particular subject, expressed enthusiasm as they demonstrated mastery, and proceeded at a challenging but not intimidating pace. After earning degrees in journalism and later microbiology, I entered the t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It seems I have always been involved in education, whether through planning/implementing lesson plans, creating assessments or one-on-one work with a student. I have experience in all areas of education with all ranges of students and have learned from each one of them. All lesson plans and standards are adaptable no matter the need. I have created unique units (such as "Language of the Week") and worked with birth through age 22.
Everyone has always told me that I was born to be a teacher, that I have an innate gift to decipher what a student needs and to promote success and accomplish goals. I am patient, considerate and flexible. Learning occurs through teachable moments every day, and it is how we respond to these moments that determines our future. Student needs and learning styles vary and educational structure should be adapted to the individual needs of the student. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I want to first stress that I am only an assistant on their learning journey, not the protagonist. I will not do your child's work for them, but I will make sure that they complete their assignment, and we, as a team, complete it to the best extent possible. I know that a lot of children and adults fail as students because teachers often choose their prized pupils and disregard the rest. I think this is grossly unjust, and believe everyone has the potential for greatness.
I am a graduate of North Georgia with a passion for language and literature. I have worked on projects that have been, or will soon be, published. I am a talented writer, and love helping others with their writing endeavors. I am able to read, understand, and transcribe French, however, I am not a very good "speaker". I have worked with different educational levels, from elementary to college, in assistance of w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been working as a private tutor from my home or student's home for 3 years. I have tutored elementary through college level students. I am able to teach a variety of subjects, however my forte is English and Composition. I have the honor of being a published author. I am an expert in MLA or APA style writing. I have also tutored in College Algebra, elementary math, Biology, and Reading. I speak conversational French, and am able to teach up to the secondary level.
It is my belief that everyone is able to learn, and what produces that ability is having support. So many instructors give up on those not favored as "prized" students, and in turn, these students just slide through. I know it takes time and effort to get some students enthused about education, and I make it my goal to help them with this.

From my experience in the Corporate Environment and my love of reading I know that all individuals, grownups and children alike, want to learn and want to be recognized as achievers. My style is highly interactive with strong emphasis on student participation and reinforcement. In my current business, I frequently give presentations to large groups on growing and using fresh herbs so I am very comfortable in one on one situations as well as group presentations. I believe that learning lasts a life time. My strongest area is in reading and comprehension and I know that if every child learns to read and loves to read that will carry over into success in all other areas.

A Little Bit About Me...

I learned English from my mother, who taught Junior High English; she helped me grasp the rules, so that English actually "made sense" to me. I have taught English in two private schools, one parochial school, and one public school system; I have also taught Old and New Testament Survey classes at a Community College (with primarily non-traditional students). Additionally, I have tutored students in Algebra and English. I have also worked as a Publications Editor for Mississippi State University's Agricultural Comunications Division, and assisted with editing a chiropracty textbook. My greatest joy, though, is the "Aha!" moment when a student "gets it," and realizes he/she CAN learn!
I am a constructionist; my initial step with all students is to assess "where they are," so that I will know from which level to begin the building process. Especially in a one-on-one basis, I allow th ... read more

As a former Prosecutor and Judge, my experience is based on my daily professional life activities. The ability to read and write plays a major role in my success as a public servant. As an educator at a local community college for many years, I explained to the students the importance of reading and writing skills. Skills come with practice. In my many social science classes that I taught, the students, on a daily basis, practiced these skills. I taught them effective communication skills are simple and easy. I was named to "Who's Who of American College Educators." Further, I have developed several communication courses for the Office of Ohio Attorney General.
I enjoy teaching students how to succeed in life. My teaching philosophy is one of caring for the needs of the student. Each student is different, which requires individual attention to his/her needs. I communicat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style varies with the learning style of the student I am working with at any given time. I believe in positive reinforcement with facilitative rather than demeaning corrections. My basic philosophy for all students is to meet their wagon where it is at, hitch my horse to it and carry the students as far as they can go with their abilities and aptitudes. I believe strongly that every student can succeed and that strong reading, writing and mathematics skills are a key to that success. I know I make a difference to my students because they and their parents tell me so. My most gratifying moments come when parents tells me, "I want you to teach my child just like you taught me!"
