I try to reach every child through teaching to all learning styles and stimulating both sides of the brain.
I have many years of classroom experience ranging from Second Grade up to Fifth Grade. I am a certified teacher and recently have completed training specializing in reading and phonics. Laying a solid foundation in phonemic awareness is essential in allowing a student to be a successful reader and writer. It effects fluency and comprehension. Beyond Language Arts, I enjoy teaching math concepts with a hands-on approach.

I currently tutor a 9 year old and a 13 year old, both for reading and writing. I've taken early childhood education courses before, and worked hands on in a preschool, in which I put together lesson plans and taught to the class. I'm also the oldest of five, and grew up with a big family. My younger brother and sisters (ranging from 4-19 years old) are my absolute best friends, and one of the main reasons that I have such a love for children. I've worked as a lifeguard, so I am CPR knowledgeable (no longer "certified), and have even held various babysitting jobs in the past. Aside from all of the personal experience that I have had with child care and tutoring in the past, I can honestly say I hold a true passion for reading and writing. I have hundreds of books that fill all of the book shelves in my home, and numerous journals that I constantly find myself writing in. I'm very s ... read more

University professor with years of tutorong experience.

I try to me more personable than most instructors. Many students simply need another approach to a subject to understand the material. I actively find that perfect approach for an individual student.
I have taught and tutored since I was sixteen. I currently teach for USC, a few online universities, Syl. Learning Center, and am a Professional Writing Tutor. I teach all grades and university levels, but my specialties are AP Courses and university courses. I have taught everything from 4 yr olds phonics to College level writing and literature to basic maths and sciences to Calculus and Trig.

I want you to be successful in learning!

I have experience with teaching adults how to read at my local literacy organization. Also, I have tutored children with Reading and Math. I was a substitute teacher for students from Pre Kindergarten through High School with different subjects and disciplines. I can freely tutor others because of the experiences that I have had while earning my degrees. Helping others learn is a passion of mine.
My teaching style is mainly dependant on the person that I am tutoring. If a student needs to take a slower process to learn than I am adaptable to that. The same is true for someone who has a little faster pace. I am flexible.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned my BA in English Literature, which gave me amazing professional diversity, as well as exemplary writing skills. These skills were indispensable during my postgraduate work in Archaeology. During a five year career as a professional archaeologist I have authored many reports and presented academic papers at conferences. I have a keen awareness of how to introduce new students to complex information because I've had the opportunity to participate in teaching high school students and undergraduates about field archaeology and artifact analysis.
My teaching style is extremely dependent on the individual student, and what their particular situation calls for. As someone who struggled at the beginning of their academic career myself, I am very sensitive to such situations. I take incredible joy in learning, and I believe that any student can achieve this given the right app ... read more

From my early days in High School, excellence in writing has always been a top priority. Throughout my teaching career, both in High School and University, I have asked from my students nothing less than excellence in reading comprehension and writing regardless of the specific course. I have taught in a variety of fields within the "soft" sciences, each demanding the ability to read with understanding and to articulate clarity of thinking through the use of writing skills. Each semester, the body of my preparation has involved reading students' papers, helping them learn to write/edit with a view of accepting nothing less than excellence, essential in creative and productive participation in the "real" world.
My teaching style is basically Socratic, using questions/responses in order to explore and to understand the subject at hand. Active involvement by the student is importa ... read more

I have more than nineteen years of professional communications experience in the public and private sectors, and have excellent verbal and written communications skills. I have been involved with tutoring and mentoring programs in the past, and have been a volunteer tutor at my daughter's school for 4 years. Though I help tutor students in all areas (e.g., math, science, social studies, English, etc.), I consider my strength to be assisting with writing and English skills. I also pride myself with being able to "connect" with students, even those who are considered "difficult", because I strongly believe in positive reinforcement.
Positive reinforcement is the key. When a student sees that an adult is taking an honest interest in them, then they are not only more willing to learn, but more able. Telling a child "I know you can do it" instead of "you can do better than that" ... read more

I am committed to differentiated instruction based on Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In addition, for many of my unit and lesson plans I rely on Blooms Taxonomy, in order to reach the higher levels of learning, those beyond knowledge and comprehension. I frequenly use art and social history to keep the subjects relatable for my secondary-level students. I have taught 9th grade repeaters, 9th grade honors, and 12th grade on-level classes, as well as creative writing, thus revealing a range of ages, abilities, and subjects.
Having worked in corporate America, I am a career-changer teacher who, despite growing up with a educationally-oriented family, came to teaching a bit later in life. I am a life-long reader as well as learner. Add these factors to my formal education in secondary teaching, English language, British literature, and teaching English as a second lang ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored college students while obtaining my BA and my MA in Sociology. I was given the opportunity to tutor when a number of professors asked for my help. I also helped to tutor high school students while I substitute taught. While trying to obtain my MA in Ed. I worked with 8th graders when working on my student teaching. I have tutored on a wide range of subjects. Everything from basic skills to anthropology and sociology. My many degrees help me to understand the basics of a variety of subjects. I am curently teaching Soc 101 at TTC.
I love working with both children and adults. I think that everyone has the ability to learn ,but teaching styles need to be geared toward the individual. Some seem to learn more through doing while others from lecture. Everyone has the potential to learn just at different paces. I believe that everyone has potential and it is our job as tuto ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Through my experience with the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, I was expected to demonstrate a high level of expertise in my chosen field. As a writing emphasis major, I chose writing classes that focused on the principles of teaching writing and reading in a classroom setting. I also took several classes that focused on the student writer of today, and ways in which to-as an instructor-encourage students to want to read and write. All of these classes and experiences will help me as I hope to further my education and pursue a master's degree in teaching.
One of the most rewarding things about teaching is seeing the progress a student makes, whether it be quick or slow, and one of the great things about reading and writing is that it is a skill that can only be improved upon. Reading and writing is not something that is forgotten over the summer, and once something clicks with ... read more
