I have worked with children ages 5 and up for a few years now. I have 3 siblings all 8 years or more younger than me, and have had lots of experience with children in elementary school. I have tutored middle school students after hours, and have worked with Special Needs children throughout my summers and within my school. I find most children at young ages are visual learners, but I am easily adjustable to many teaching styles to fit the students needs.

over 6 hrs college coursework completed in different genres of lit as well as a few minor lit awards and continuing self taught student of lit I've either taught or tutored in some form or fashion for over 17yrs now. I've had ages 3yrs to 22yrs old covering all manner of subjects and hobbies. One of my most rewarding experience was with an 18 year old special needs 10th grader ready to drop out of school. We met 2-3x a week for 6mths. In that time he raised his GPA from 1.2 to 2.7. He completed his 10th grade year and went on to take and pass the G.E.D. the following year. I would describe my teaching style as dynamic, creative student-centered

Learning should be a fun experience for children and adults alike, and while I maintain structure, I also want to make sure that students are enjoying the time that they spend learning with me. I am a patient teacher, and as someone who went through school with ADD, I understand the difficulties many children face in traditional classroom settings. I have recently graduated and am eager to share my knowledge with others. During my time in school, I became an AP Scholar, Presidential Scholar, 21st Century Scholar, and Honor Graduate. I graduated in the top ten percent of my class and am dedicated to the education of others. I am currently pursuing a degree in education.

I spent over 20 years as a graphic designer for various colleges and universities. In that time I used my office as an educational opportunity for my student assistants, but I always had the desire to teach. In 2011 I returned to school for my Teacher Certification in English Language Arts and Reading grades 8-12. I have since then taught English I, II, III and IV, Recovery Reading for 9th and 10th graders, as well as Art and Yearbook. My experience has taught me that every child has a tremendous capacity to learn and excel, but not all know how to unlock that capacity. My job is to find the unique key that will help each child reach his or her potential. My style of teaching is real-world understanding and application firmly based on theory. In other words, I teach how to accomplish each element, but why it is important to do so. In my instruction, I establish goals and create ac

I'm Ebony! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's in Cognitive Studies and Education, and earned a Master's degree with distinction in Curriculum and Instruction. I am a Cognitive Specialist/neuroeducator whose sole objective is bridging the divide between the student and the content, using methods based on the individual's learning style. As I think back to when I have achieved most success as a student, it was always because of a phenomenal educator who taught the content in ways that appealed to my learning style. I was immersed in the content, and I thrived because of it. I provide the same instructional strategies and experiences for my students, who vary from children with neurological differences such as Autism, Dyslexia, and other learning differences, to gifted students, to adults who never learned how to read or perform mathematics. I've taught in various fields for over

My teaching style varies depending on how I see the student picks up and retains material. Repetition, Hands-on activities, speaking, out loud thinking. I have previously taught dance lessons, choreographed a select number of routines, and have helped with Resume techniques for job scouting and placement. I have a passion to teach and am undoubtedly sure to be able to teach and tutor anyone. Regardless of the age or skill level, I will adjust the lesson based on your performance at hand. I am fun to learn with and will help you meet above and beyond what you thought was achievable.

I have a Bachelors in English Literature w/a certificate in Technical Writing from the University of North Texas. I have put myself through school by working as server part-time. This has given me a great deal of patience. I have experience as an office manager for an apartment locator, and I have tutored my friends through their English courses. I have no set style of teaching. I try to understand how to benefit the individual by examining their needs. Then, we go from there. Some students need an analytical approach, so the material can best be presented as a formula. Others need a creative approach. It really just depends on the student.

At the University of Texas at Austin, I was a Literature major and still read daily for enjoyment and edification. I have joyfully taught students in grades 1 through 5 in Los Angeles urban schools, and in the suburbs of Plano. I have also been a Literacy Coach, assisting teachers in grades kindergarten through fifth to enhance their teaching skills in reading, writing, vocabulary, phonics, etc. - all areas of literacy. I have worked one-on-one and in small groups with "at-risk" students to pin-point their areas of weakness and fill in the gaps. In addition, as a Literacy Coach, I have conducted numerous professional development sessions for teachers in grade levels from kinder through fifth grade. I, myself, am a committed life-long learner. I treat children with the same respect and dignity that I treat adults, regardless of their age. I don't use "baby voices," as my goal is to elevat

A solid literary foundation facilitates my 38-year career as a teacher who continues to earn most of his living as a writer. I advocate a "hands-on" approach that affords students an opportunity to feel as if they are teaching themselves and I am there only to facilitate the process. I am foremost a writer whose 38-year, award-winning career is rooted in journalism. However, I also have an extensive teaching background. I have taught writing labs at St. Thomas University – Miami, Florida (1987-88), Mississippi State University (1988-89) and Texas A&M University (1989-93); and I currently offer tutoring services to 10th- and 11th-grade foreign exchange students from all over the world. Some of my tutoring involves preparing students to take the college-entrance SAT. I am particularly qualified to do this from a writing perspective, because the College Board contracts me each year

Literature is a broad subject with many niches, so it is easier to just mention the areas I am most proficient, and leave out the ones I am not. I know quite a bit about British Romanticism, of the poets Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, and I know about the cultural and intellectual changes that these poets were concerned with. I also know a lot about modernism, which is the early 20th century movement, involving James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and the poets Eliot, Pound and others. Walt Whitman is a paticular favorite poet of mine, on whom I can elaborate a great deal. Literature of course is so broad that I have a lot of experience in other places, but I am not expert enough in all of those places to feel confortable tutoring them, though those mentioned above, I am okay with.
