Continuing Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Danbury, TX

Tutor Certification. Award winning tutor. My style is age-appropriate: I modify my approach to accommodate age, learning level, personality and a combination of abilities and interests. My philosophy is that it is the instructor that should make adjustments on behalf of the student, not the other was around. Any good teacher can accommodate any student with the ability to understand people. Experience includes teaching in public and private schools prior to and following tutor certification. Research for Tutor Certification focused on the study and analysis of adult learning problems stemming from poor learning and education experienced of youth. The study included exchanging past negative experiences for positive ones which substantially increases current abilities and progress. College Algebra students were in the study.

In middle school, I was fortunate enough to have a teacher who, through positive encouragement and persistence, helped me realize my true potential. As a tutor, I attempt to bring this attitude to all of my sessions. Instead of giving students answers, I feel it is my responsibility to not only teach them the content, but study skills that will help them be successful in all classes!

I enjoy helping people to learn. Aside from knowledge base expertise, certain qualities exemplify a good tutor: patience and being a good listener. Understanding a student’s learning strategies is foundational and incorporates good listening qualities. A desirable outcome will then be more achievable for the student. I try to let my student, regardless of age/grade, not feel intimidated or unintelligent regarding a certain subject or problem. This subsequently allows him or her to open up and feel comfortable as we work together to solve the problem. I encourage students to focus and have a positive attitude. Hopefully, developing good, solid study habits will result, not only while being tutored, but thereafter at home and school. I have a BS in Biological Sciences and an MS in Biology. I have also worked in the science research environment for many years, including providing input for

As a late bloomer to my education, I understand the importance of completeing an education at the earliest time. I currently hold a BS degree in business with an emphasis on international markets. This degree has helped me to better understand and appreciate economics, business math and accounting. In pusuit of this I have written papers from a 2 page summary to an 80 page thesis. In the past years I have tutored in Spanish 101 and 102 on the college level, accounting, English Comp, Art Appreciation, Shakespeare, and Adult Basic Education for GED students. My teaching style conforms to the learning style of the individual. Since no two people learn the same it is impossible to tutor the same way. I feel that once I have found a way to spark their interest and how they learn, it is much easier to help them acheive their goals and grasp the material. Many times the main goal is to t

I currently work as a professional science/health writer, and I have a keen grasp of literature comprehension, grammar, and composition. I have tutored students in English, math, and science. Additionally, I have volunteered as a soccer coach, Sunday school teacher, and "Hands-On Science" instructor in the classroom. I previously taught private swimming lessons and piano lessons for children. I believe the key to academic success is ensuring the student feels a sense of accomplishment and pride in self. My method of teaching focuses on determining the best learning style and beginning with lessons that will bring about success, and then challenging the student gradually. I try to make learning fun, while encouraging questions and an "out-of-the-box" approach to problem solving. The ultimate goal is to develop an independent and motivated learner.

After finishing my undergraduate work, I served in the Peace Corps for over two years. During this time I worked with various groups in the areas of elementary education tutoring, ESL for children and adults, and small-business training. When I finished the Peace Corps I was awarded a scholarship/fellowship to Duquesne University, where I completed my Master's degree. During this time I worked half-time with a nonprofit. At the end of my fellowship this nonprofit offered me a teaching job in conjunction with West Virginia University. I recently returned from a service-learning (study abroad) trip that I led in Mexico. I have tutored children, and taught university students and adults for over 3 years. I love teaching in a one-on-one environment. I think that this environment makes it easier for teachers to be empathetic towards learning blockades. Last year I trained at a writing center

I love teaching all ages in areas that I am most proficient in. I teach based on the individual's best skills and learning methods. I believe that everyone learns differently and encourage each person that they are able to learn whatever it is they desire. I have extensive experience as a substitute teacher in Math, English and Writing. I also train people in general skills, such as vocational, interpersonal, etc. for nonprofit agencies. I am an attorney making a career transition into education and so use both my free time and work as a means to broaden my skills.

As a graduate of one of the best Universities in Africa (Unilorin,Nigeria), I was much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned two master degrees, M.Sc in Physics and MBA (Marketing Management), which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of Mathematics, Science and Management. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writting research papers and laboratory reports. During the last six years I have tutored students in English, the Arts, Mathematics, and Sciences. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to lea

I have a holistic approach that goes beyond just helping a person with homework or test prep. I like to combine tutoring and coaching services. 1. Often students hire a tutor after they are falling behind in school. The first goal is to develop a plan of action and get the student back on track. This helps with relieving stress and feeling overwhelmed. 2. Develop learning skills and strategies for taking tests, memory recall and linking concepts. There is no ones size fits all and must be tailored to the individual. 3. Building confidence in student's learning abilities is critical! 4. The ultimate goal is empowering the student to become an independent learner. I have a special interest in ESL students, having myself experienced what it is like as a child to be immersed in a foreign culture and school without speaking the language. As an adult, I also understand how cr

I love helping other people, especially those that want to better their lives by acquiring a skill or talent. Many students who seem to “not get it” or have been left behind do learn what is needed if only they could relate it to their lives, had someone show them a different way to look at it, or would just take that extra moment to clarify the point. I also believe that all students will rise to any expectation or goal set when they are empowered with the tools needed to succeed and an inner belief that they are truly winners. As a student at Sam Houston State University, I practiced my teaching skills by offering free tutoring to all of my classmates focusing on study skills, memorization and improving writing skills. I attained a BA in English while maintaining an A average, staying on the dean’s list, and earning scholarships. Minoring in history has allowed me to couple literary p
