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. 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 began tutoring people when I was in the eigth grade. I decided I wanted to help out at the school across the street from my middle school in Colorado. I enrolled in a class that allowed us to go and assist the teachers and help the students. I fell in love with kids then for sure. I already knew I liked them because I started babysitting when I was 11 and couldn't stop! Then in ninth grade, a neighbor failed kindergarten and asked if I would starting coming over several days a week to help him understand what was being taught. Needless to say, he made it to the first grade! I now have a 17 year old sister who is constantly asking for my assistance in her homework and it is with great pleasure that I assist her. I have a background in Psychology, so I am extremely intuitive with what a person needs regarding their learning style. I am able to adapt my teaching style to their needs. Pati

I have over three years of professional writing experience. After graduating from the University of Texas at Dallas with my degree in Creative Writing I went on to serve as the President of the Houston Writers Guild for a full year and now serve on the Board of Directors at the Gulf Coast Federation of Writers. I have performed Freelance Editing since my graduation and led numerous Critique Circles for each organization I’ve worked with, learning to balance criticism with encouragement for optimal improvement. I am a very hands on teacher and my preferred method is to have the student read their work aloud while I follow along and edit. It's remarkable how much they begin to catch on their own. This is followed through with my own take on their work, pointing out the errors they missed and suggesting improvements, always in an encouraging manner.

I enjoy the analysis of poetry and literature have assisted a number of students with this type of assignment. I also enjoy writing poetry and regularly practice that craft. I am a warm, compassionate and supportive tutor who has somewhat open-ended expectations for my clients. This habit has enabled me to build relationships with clients that support successful interaction across a fairly long arc of time. I have found the process of tutoring to be enjoyable, have found the work of educating to be a significant means of contributing something to the world that is of value, and generally invite my students to collaborate with me and take ownership of the process and of the results. I have worked with children, teens and adults in a variety of capacities over the course of many years providing many personal care and personalized tutoring services.

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 can.

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.

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

I believe the first thing you need to do is to find out what the student needs help with. At times I have used music, poetry, or computer programs to get the students attention. Repetition is very helpful and note cards are good for memorization. Taking notes is a good way for the student to stay focused. A little comedy helps too to help students to remember. I enjoy helping students, adult or younger, feel the success of learning. Sometimes it is a struggle, but it is always fulfilling to see the relief and happiness they feel when they do succeed. My original degree was in English with a minor in Spanish. I received my teaching certification in 1979 in Secondary English/Spanish. I taught adult ESL part time for 2 years in the evenings. After a taste in this field, I began teaching in ESL and have taught 9 years in public schools. With one school district I also had a class h
