EXPERT TUTOR-MultiSubject; Home/ONLINE; +WRITING instructor

Giving students the tools to fulfill their life's potential!

I have been a substitute teacher and tutor for general education and special education students of the Williamson County School District. Before that, I was working with adults and students in a ministry environment back in Texas as a worship leader and music teacher. My education has centered around music, theology, and literature primarily (with a general exposure to various other sciences).
I like to give students the tools and watch them practice using those tools for themselves. I encourage two-way communication.

Experienced and successful teacher in English language arts.

I am focused on achieving student growth while helping students develop learning habits and a love for reading.
I have five years of teaching experience, including teaching kindergarten students, students who were English language learners, and fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students. My focus has been in reading and language arts, and I have attended several Uncommon Schools trainings for close reading techniques and writing and vocabulary strategies. My previous background and work experience was in writing, and I enjoy teaching students about the different forms of writing, including creative writing, literary analysis, argumentative, and informative. Since I started my teaching career working with students in kindergarten, I deeply understand the foundations of literacy. My experiences with students in middle school has also helped me understand and realize the connection betw ... read more

More About This Tutor...

For four years I taught in private schools, where I gave instruction at the middle and high school levels in English, French, Hebrew, computer programming, and office applications (spreadsheets, etc). I taught Math and English for one year at a Huntingdon Learning Center (elementary through high school students). Prior to this I taught French and Linguistics courses at the State University of NY at Albany where I earned a degree in each of those fields. Later I became a database administrator. Today I develop web applications in the C# programming language and the Transact SQL query language. I have also given private music lessons over the years to a total of 20 to 30 students. I play guitar, trumpet, a little piano, and I sing.
I have always told my classes, "Learning can be fun; and if it's not, you may not be doing it right." Of course, that does not mean learning is ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As the daughter of educators, I have been exposed to the education system all my life. As a result of this exposure, I became very interested in tutoring and teaching. I taught for two years as a substitute teacher before attending law school. I previously worked as a substitute teacher with Morrow Elementary in North Lauderdale, Florida where I taught test-taking strategies for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. Most recently, I have volunteered with Youth Encouragement services as a tutor.
Based on previous experience I have discovered that the same teaching style does not work for every child. I find that explaining each topic and asking the child question gives a clear indication of their understanding. Based on responses to the questions adjustments may be made to address each child's need.

Something I have always enjoyed while tutoring is the moment that the student 'gets it'. In order to properly prepare the student for their future education, you must show them the importance of the process of learning. The idea of the process builds the student's ability to work independently, thus giving them a valuable life lesson. I believe every student is special and learns in different ways, and I try to adapt quickly to their learning style. I also incorporate a wide variety of methods to keep the student's interest and excitement in the subject. If the student can see how the subjects can relate to their future and everyday life, it will increase their desire to learn.
A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Contemporary Writing and Production, I used my AP-level English background to tutor international students at the college in English reading, writing, and speaking. ... read more

I have the ability to break down the complex into simple, manageable lessons. Every child and teen deserves to be taught in the manner that works the best for him/her. I strive to unlock the doors that keep students from learning a concept by asking questions and watching intently.
As a graduate of St. Olaf College in MN, I have used my BA in Secondary English Education in the business arena and to teach grammar, literature, advance and remedial writing classes, drama, and reading skills in the classroom. I have worked as a professional writer and editor, editing professional manuscripts, creating marketing materials, writing articles, and producing book reviews online. I held a valid teaching license in MN from 1983-1997, which I did not renew when I started my own business promoting women entrepreneurs online.

My own experience as a student has shown me that i was most effectively motivated when I realized the enjoyment I could draw from schoolwork. Approached in the right way, all aspects of the educational experience -- lecture, class discussion, and even test-taking and essay-writing -- can be fun when the student saw these activities as opportunities to challenge themselves. Many enjoy athletics because it tires and strengthens the body; as a tutor, I have found that I can impart similar enjoyment through the exercise and strengthening of the mind.
I first began tutoring during high school, volunteering with Time to Rise in Nashville, TN, a program that supplies students from underperforming schools with supplemental education. After high school, I excelled during college at the University of the South, spending time in Oxford at St Catherine's College, graduating summa cum laude, an ... read more
