Creative Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fordsville, KY

My teaching style is very interactive, as I believe that a student learns more quickly and retains more if he/she is actively involved. Therefore I work together with the student through the assigned task, giving independent study when needed. Some example tasks may include reading aloud together, reading silently followed by opportunity for comprehension through a question-answer session, and choices of writing tasks to reflect on reading. I try to understand the student's current needs or reading/writing level and help them to excel from that point. I have taught high school and middle school English, as well as one year of teaching at an alternative school. Additional experience would include substitute teaching, Boys and Girls Club instruction, being a Girl Scout leader, and Sunday school instruction. I also have some experience as a homebound teacher and tutor. I am currently workin

My easy going nature and fun personality allows me to make learning interesting. I have always believed that the best way for someone to learn is to put the information into terms that are understandable to them. In the past I have used illustrations, acted out scenes from battles, utilized initialisms, and made up songs to help students learn concepts. Connections between the content and familiar concepts are essential, and thus I find it very important to get to know the student and how they learn in order to best help them. My goal is to make sure that all my students are able to reach their educational goals, and ultimately by the end of our sessions my students will be able to teach the information to someone else. Life is the greatest teacher. Throughout my life I have been presented with numerous opportunities to expand upon my natural abilities. At a young age I was bilingual in

As an editor, writer and avid reader for my entire life, I have reading comprehension and editing skills that would be valuable in helping others. I have 15 years of experience as a journalist, editor, freelance writer and higher education development writer. In my postion with Hearst Business Media, I spent a little over a year working with Hofstra University interns in our Long Island, New York office, mentoring them in reporting, editiing and writing. I am also a parent who has long been active in the education system as an advocate for my children. My approach to teaching others is a holistic one. I believe each students learns at his or her own pace, based on individual interest levels. As the parent of Montessori students for many years, I believe each student must be motivated and given opportunities to develop his or her interests from direction provided by a mentor or instr

It is very important to assess what the student already knows and the level of understanding they hold at the beginning. It is also important to make sure that what they know is correct and that they are not confused or misunderstanding the material. After which, getting to know the individual style of learning for each student will insure that time is used efficiently and that the student is understanding and retaining the material being taught. Working one-on-one is the best teaching method; however, when that is not possible, working in small groups is also very effective. *Worked as a tutor/translator for three years at the Housing Authority of Bowling Green - Learning Center.

As a graduate of a small liberal arts college, I have spent many hours volunteering to help tutor my classmates in both biology and the humanities. I hold a bachelor's degree in biology. I have learned extensive grammatical skills through my school's intensive general studies program. I am confident in my ability to tutor students in mathematics, science, English and the humanities at the K-12 level and biology and English at the college level. I believe that students best learn from doing. My role as a tutor is not just to provide answers, but to facilitate and encourage learning. However I am also able to provide a knowledge base in a number of subjects to help answer questions the student may be struggling with. I am comfortable working with children of all ages to help them meet their full learning potential as students.

As an Art School graduate, learned the tools to teach students to develop into successful artists through the fundamental elements of art necessary for professional portfolios. The knowledge has lead to my success at VSA arts of Kentucky over the past 4.5 years. At VSAKY we strive creating a society where people with and without disabilities can learn through, participate in and enjoy the arts I have gained experience in teaching professional growth in an inclusive society. As an independent contract at VSAKY I have had the opportunity to collaborate with and teach students many aspects of art in order for them to grow professionally through many areas of art such as: sculpture, painting, drawing, graphic design and composition. I am very enthusiastic about making the learning process fun and enjoyable for all students. I feel that creating a comfortable environment for the students all

As a tutor I have had 5 years of experience working with students of many different ages and a variety of backgrounds. I majored in Spanish in college, but I have also taught Latin and English. Because of this specialty in language, I understand well how to teach grammar and good reading, writing, and speaking skills. I, also, received a certificate to teach English as a Second Language, which means that I have a solid foundation of education training to couple with my tutoring experience. From my experience I found that the process of working side by side with my student as they strive to figure out a problem or grasp a concept is what I most enjoy about tutoring. As a person I am patient, responsible, and encouraging. I enjoy being creative to help meet my students’ learning styles and needs, and I know how to prioritize learning tasks to help students focus. Also, I recognize that suc

I believe each student can learn and it’s my responsibility to find how each one learns best. So much of it is about instilling confidence in the student that he or she is intelligent and capable of mastering the subject. I have been very successful at this and have often had short tutoring assignments: once we discover what is keeping a student from grasping the subject, fixing it is easy and then the student can proceed on their own with or without the help of a parent. The younger the student, the more I appreciate having the parent involved in what I am doing, and the results we are achieving, so they can actively participate with their child, especially once I am no longer needed. I am a 60-year old man who has taught every subject at every grade level as an artist in the schools for over 35 years.
