Socratic method and exploring a student's learning strengths/differentiation

In addition, I have been trained and state tested in Social Study education at Houston Community College. I would like to gain experience in working with students so that I might pursue teaching as a career in the future.

A Little Bit About Me...

Never tutored before but I do help fellow peers and family members. I'm a Pre-English major and the University of North Texas, so I know a lot about English Literature. I made A's and B's in English my whole life, it is my favorite subject. Also, I'm good at remembering important facts about American History, I also made A's and B's in that subject.

Let me Guide Your Child

Having taught for more than five years as a certified teacher, I feel that I have what it takes to be an educator. Understanding the psyche of the student is of prime significance to me, which helps me in directing the teaching strategies and techniques. In order to let the student realize the significance of learning, I try to design a curriculum that is application based.
I prefer that the student understands the purpose behind learning. In order to achieve my goal, I spend quality time in talking and developing an effective communication platform. I avoid doing rote learning. Therefore I make the worksheets and lesson plan as application based as I can. Some techniques and strategies are also employed on occasions.

Before I began my professional teaching career, I worked for the Read Across America program helping young learners gain an appreciation for reading. I mentored elementary students who were labeled at risk due to low performance in reading. In 2001, I began teaching pre-k in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In 2005, I relocated to Houston and began teaching kindergarten in Ft. Bend ISD. I taught 4th grade Math and Science for 2 years. Currently, I work as a 2nd grade ESL inclusion teacher. I have experience teaching students identified under the special education umbrella- autistic, asperger's Syndrome, and various developmental delays. I have successfully tutored students with ADD, ADHD, and other conditions that make it difficult for them to be 100% successful with classroom instruction only.
Due to my background in early childhood, I teach using hands-on manipulative based strateg ... read more

My comments on tutoring American History : Colonial. Civil War. WWII. Civil Rights.

I prefer the student to have a hands-on experience so that they can learn how to do the subject for themselves. I provide guidance, suggestions and best practices. I am patient, try to put the person at ease, and treat all people with respect.
I have a Masters of Library Science. I've been a Library Branch Manager and librarian in a public library for over 14 years, and have experience helping people from diverse backgrounds. I have successfully helped people with citizenship, resume writing, filling out job applications, interview skills, basic computer classes, database research, assembling bibliographic sources, writing, school reading lists, locating literary criticisms and helping with preparation of science fair projects.

My comments on tutoring American History : History enthusiast

I am a recent college graduate looking to help other students. I wasn't a typical student. I had to try different ways to understand certain subjects. I feel that education isn't one size fits all; every student has his/her own way of learning. My goal is to open your mind to the possibilities and knowledge it stores. The information is there waiting for you to use it. All we have to do is tap into it!
My teaching style is based on the student. We do a couple of activities so that I can gage where we stand and go from there.

A Little Bit About Me...

I think it takes a lot for one teacher to reach all of types of students who are all at different levels of interest in the subject being taught as well as at different levels of understanding. However, I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to give them all equal opportunity to learn. It is not just about grades and assignments, that is just the means to an end, but it is about learning. In order for the students to learn, the teacher needs to be passionate about the students as well as the subject that is being taught. That will instill in the students a desire to learn and understand.
In having a science background, I have not only learned laboratory skills and reasoning skills, but I have learned how to increase efficiency, communicate in a clear manner, and write in a way that is direct and clear. I enjoy learning, and I instill that passion into my students as best I ... read more

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.
