Composition Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Eldridge, AL

I am a professional tutor and teacher with many years of experience with children one-on-one, in small groups, and with a whole classroom. As a Reading Specialist, I have advanced training in literacy and am licensed to teach in all related areas from grades K - 12 by the Ohio Department of Education. As an Elementary teacher, I am also trained and experienced at instruction of ALL subjects up to grade 8. I have special education training and experience, so I can offer tailored, individualized lessons for any student based on appropriate goals and needs. I can assess students' reading and vocabulary levels with Informal Reading Inventories and provide a written summary of strengths and challenges and suggestions for improvement. These are provided upon request at an additional fee. I emphasize student engagement when I tutor. With hands-on activities and visual aids, I work to make sure

I have lead many training sessions dealing with a multitude of different topics. I do my homework, and make sure I am fully prepared before any training session. I want to make sure I know the answers to any possible question before the questions are asked. I have tutored students one-on-one and in small groups from different levels of math to every aspect of English, grammar, and writing. I have taught many classes in painting and drawing, and I am a constant student of all areas of art, including photography. My personal style of learning is to learn by doing. I get my students involved in any process and get them to actually do the work so they learn it from experience, not just reading about it and taking for granted they know what is going on. Seeing the steps in action and seeing the final result brings a sense of accomplishment, which helps a student learn the correct way of

Since the 9th grade, I have been tutoring people that are close to me and my fellow classmates. I have always wanted to make it an official business. I have been tutoring classmates, cousins, and college students. The people that I have been tutoring has always came back for more tutoring or whenever they needed help. I have tutored in math, science, social studies, and Prep tests for college. Call me at 205-222-7574 for tutoring. email me at addy.alexandria@live.com

Teaching with compassion for the learner is my style of teaching. Making students understand their abilities and not dwell on any weaknesses are important for learning. I take ESL students at their level and help them make progress that is relevant to their lives. I have taught (intermittently) college level English for 20 years. I have also taught ESL in public schools for 8 years. I now tutor on my own time any age level and anything related to English---including helping people finish memoirs or other books/novels. I am also a writer, working on a novel and screenplays/stageplays. I also write for local publications.

At Birmingham-Southern College, I was the News Editor for the college newspaper for two years. In addition, I have a minor in Journalism. I love to write and I feel that this is one of my strong points. I also tutor two young girls every Wednesday afternoon at Girls, Inc. of Central Alabama. I help them with everything from writing, to reading, to math and history. I am also working on my Masters Degree and will graduate with a Masters Degree in Counseling in 2011. Before I start tuoring a child, I like to get know them first. I think it's important to build trust with a child before jumping in and telling them what to do. A child will be more likely to accept help from someone they know rather than a total stanger. I like to make learning fun.

I have spent the better part of the past 12 years teaching grammar, creative writing, literature, and basic English structure. I have my BFA in Creative Writing and my BA in English from Arkansas Tech University, and I have my MA in English from Highlands University. I have taught all levels of college composition, creative writing, and American Lit. Also, I have taught English at the high school level. Also, I have a minor in American History. I believe in personal interaction with students – making them write, making them read – going over every detail, looking at the issues (grammar, punctuation, syntax, coherent structure (logic, unity, transitions, parallelism,)) and then re-writing and re-reading. The key to doing well in English is understanding basic structure and making it become second nature when writing. Through personal interaction, the process can be simplified by wor

I teach by talking to the student, finding what they relate to and using that information in correlation with their studies to help them better understand the subject. As well as using simple steps to solve a larger problem, breaking down a problem into smaller ones helps a student to solve something one step at time. I’m looking forward to helping our future leaders. I am a graduate of a major university and have several degrees: BS in Clothing, Merchandising and Textiles, AA in Political and Economic Science, as well as two minors, one in General Business and the other in Communications. They have all enabled me to learn and understand a wide range of different areas: English, math, science, accounting, and writing. Also I am well versed in History. In my college experience I have had to accomplish writing successful papers, understand general math as well as business math, I can bri

I enjoy being able to work with children and being able to positively impact their lives whether that be through empowering them to succeed or teaching new skills. Throughout my graduate studies I worked as a substitute teacher from grades pre-k-12; however I especially enjoyed working with younger children as it allows for more creativity and thinking outside of the box. I would consider myself to be very patient, open-minded and understanding of every individual's needs. I understand the fact that everyone has a different learning style and would be able to adapt to the individual. I prefer hands-on activities and using creative outlets to convey educational information as it often allows for easier absorption of material. I am a driven individual who has obtained a Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Child Welfare in addition to a BA in Psychology with a minor in Sociology.

Since I have completed degrees in English, and Education with a Literacy specialization, I am more than qualified to teach/tutor students in English/LA and Reading. Additionally, I've passed the Praxis II Exam that the State of Alabama requires to "highly qualify" teachers. Moreover, I have spent four 1/2 years working directly with students in Special Education and ESL. I have extensive experience with inclusion, differentiated instruction, and accomodating lessons. I believe all students can learn any material, but it’s up to teachers, parents and schools to work together to come up with the best educational plan to make sure that they do. Therefore, I prefer the collaborative and community language learning model. Since all students possess many different levels of strengths and weaknesses, I demonstrate several strategies, and allow them to choose the one that works best for the

My teaching style is interactive. I believe in fully engaging the student in the teaching-learning process. Students are more receptive to learning when they take ownership in the educational process. I am very patient and goal oriented. I know all children can learn and if given the proper set of learning conditions they can achieve educational heights that often surpasses their pre-conceived notions of learning barriers. Knowledge is power and I seek to aid and assist the learner in harnessing that power so as to become a life-long learner and ultimately a productive citizen. For twenty-five years I successfully taught a comprehensive curriculum to elementary students (grades three through eighth). My areas of academic interest are: Language Arts, Mathematics and Social Studies. I had an opportunity to visit several countries I taught in social studies (i.e., West Africa (Ghana a

Throughout my teaching career, I have worked continuously to provide individualized, innovative lessons and challenging curriculum designed to empower students to reach their full academic and social potential. I believe that the best way to do this is through first discovering each student's learning style and then tailoring instruction to make full use of those skills. In this way, the student is always involved and engaged in instruction designed just for him/her. I find no greater joy than in witnessing the excitement when a student finally "gets it!" I am currently certified in Mississippi, and I have 5 years of experience teaching in the classroom. I received my Bachelors in Education with an English concentration from William Carey University in Hattiesburg, MS. I have the background and skills necessary to tutor students in English, SAT and ACT prep, ASVAB, and GED testing, along

Being that I am relatively fresh out of college, I can relate to most students on a personal level. In college, I took many education courses and spent many hours in the classroom so I am current on new teaching styles. I can help average students excel and poor students gain confidence through learning. Many students are afraid of math before even beginning. I have helped many students that math is just math. There's nothing to be afraid of. I have always known that I love math. I hold a BS in Mathematics and enjoy using my knowledge any way I can. Recently, I discovered that I also enjoy English. Particularly, proofreading. Even though I hold a degree only in mathematics, I have sufficient knowledge of spelling and grammatical skills.
