Never,never, never, never ever give up.

I have a student-centered teaching style. That means I see at what level the student is and meet him/her at that level. Then we together move up to where he/she needs to be.
I have taught for many years in all levels of secondary school, alternative schools, and tutoring centers.I eat, sleep, and drink tutoring as I tutor every day during the school year and do lots of research to help my kids in whatever academic subject is causing them difficulty. I began my teaching career for the first five years as a high school English teacher and taught regular college prep English courses.The next five years I taught English at the middle school level.Next, I got married and resigned from teaching when our first child was born. For the next twenty!!years, I raised four children and tutored kids sporadically. After all the kids had entered school, I began substituting in our school dis ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a recent college graduate. I have substitute taught in Elementary, Middle and High School. I am very good at math, having had up to Calculus II in college, but Id rather not teach that. I am also great in History and can also help with German. I lived in Germany for 6 months, so I am quite well at the language.

More About This Tutor...

I have a passion for working individually with students to find their personal learning styles so that they can succeed and excel academically. I encourage students to think through a problem and find a solution that works for their individual abilities and plays to their strengths. I believe learning should be fun and not a forced activity.
I began working as a Water Safety Instructor when I was 16 and taught swimming to people age 3 to age 76. I worked as a Teacher's Assistant at West Virginia university and taught my own section of a one credit course required of all freshmen students while working on a BA in English with a concentration in Creative Writing.

A Little Bit About Me...

My studies have given me practical experience working with children of different abilities and readiness. I sincerely believe it is the teacher's responsibility to adapt lessons to the student's learning style. I strive to create connections to student past lessons and keep difficult concepts in easy, relative terms that simplify information for the student to digest. I prefer teaching lessons through discovery learning and constructivist approaches, and will ask as many questions to my students as my students will to me. Personally, I am considerate, professional, and genuinely caring to each of my student's success. I have never given up on a student's abilities to learn, and I convey an attitude of perseverance to my students.

Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or toddler a "functioning human being" until the child can speak. This is so inaccurate! I taught one of my daughters to read at age four. My teaching style is to engage the student on a personal level through cheerful conversation and sharing of interests, then to assess learning styles, strengths, and challenges. Children perform well when expectations are complimentary to them, and when they are given the tools and nurture to accomplish their dreams.
I graduated from high school as number eleven in rank out of 248. I often assisted other students in both high school and college. Later, as a homeschooling mother of four, I taught all of my children all subjects through the eighth grade level. I just returned from the island of Saipa ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated college with top honors. I worked as a Juvenile/Shelter Care Counselor at Berks County Youth Center where I worked with children of all ages and races. I am semi bi-lingual in Spanish. I took three years of Spanish courses in college. I supervised children in school and daily activities, but was also responsible for helping them complete all homework assignments, organize educational activities , help teach all school subjects, as well as tutor children in need of extra help in school. I have worked with children of all educational levels, especially since most of the children came from poverty stricken areas and were behind in their schooling,many with learning disabilities.
I enjoy working with children of all ages and skill levels. I feel that each child requires their own learning style and pace. I am a very patient and understanding person, as well as persistent. I ... read more
