Shakespeare Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Elrod, AL

I have taught in private high schools and colleges,as well as public high schools and universities for the past thirty years. I have a great passion for teaching and mentoring, with an emphasis on preparing students for college. My thesis in English was on Eudora Welty's fiction; however, my dissertation was on Shakespeare. My minor in undergraduate school was history; thus, I am also qualified to tutor in history. I have assisted editors for university publications and am well-qualified to edit essays. My studies at Montevallo were in public speaking and theatre, and I have taught public speaking on all levels. Guiding students toward becoming capable and polished speakers has also been an exciting part of my career. My teaching style has been part lecture, part class discussion, part in-class assignments, and some cooperative education, with the more advanced students being leaders

I love to learn. It has always come easily for me. Throughout my schooling, I realized I was able to understand certain concepts very quickly & in easier ways than taught by the teacher. I found myself helping others understand the subject matter like me. I am patient, helping students to work through many different angles of solutions until something works. Because everyone learns differently, I am creative & adaptive to the student I am working with. I am also very personable while maintaining professionalism & respect. My main objectives are helping the student obtain a true understanding of the subject matter, improving the student's academic performance, & promoting a healthy appetite for learning & the will to succeed. As a recent graduate from the University of Alabama, I have possessed a passion for learning in hopes to become a doctor. I have earned a BS in Biology and a MS in H

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

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

I have a great joy working with children because most of them are eager to learn. Along with patience and proper instruction I am a firm believer the scores will be achieved without the child feeling diappointed. I believe through visual picture walks and other techniques children want to be successful and make their parents and teachers happy. Having the right teacher, and right attitude which I have both the tutor and parent along with the teacher can see a change. We must reinforce the education to have a productive citizen for the future. As a graduate of a small junior college I believe one on one teaching gives students the advantage over a large group because the child can receive the necessary attention for learning skills in reading, writing and math. Many children learn differently some are visual learners,some are audio etc. I have been instructed through various techniques

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
