No child left behind

I have an MBA in Marketing. I have a BA degree in Science Business Communications. I have helped children and adults with their assignments. I work mainly with Kinder through 10th grade. I help with writing, Reading, Touch Typing, Math and Science. I have helped with Marketing papers and other college assignments as needed.
Every student learns differently. I have explored the many ways to teach so that children can learn. From previous teaching experience I am aware that some children are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. I teach based on the individual learning style.

My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : I've always had strong writing skills. I've written several scientific dissertations and papers to fairly high praise. In my free time, I write music and stand-up comedy. I'm also currently developing and writing a potential science fiction TV series to pitch to production executives.

I always liked playing up my quirky personality. My favorite teachers and professors were the goofy ones, the ones who can relate to the students' fun side. These teachers also challenged me the most, and I ended up getting so much more out of the course. I figure that, if a student likes the teacher, he or she will pay more attention and have a deeper respect for the teacher. The teacher then can use this trust to push the student a little more, intellectually. I find that is what works best for me.
I don't any paid, professional tutoring experience. However, I have volunteered my services to family members and friends. During my sophomore year, I took Organic Chemistry and excelled. However, my friends were struggling. They hated me a bit for how easy it came to me. I decided to tutor them and help them with homework assignments and studying. They ended up doing very well on the ... read more

Vastly experienced, encouraging and patient tutor.

I taught grades kindergarten, first grade and second grade for a total of twenty-six years. Since then, I have tutored pre-k through 5th grade. My last assignment was tutoring a fifth grader in writing composition. I have worked as a tutor with several children on their reading, spelling and math skills. I worked as a UIL coach for creative writers in second grade.
To teach reading, I teach the children to use all the reading strategies used by good readers.Examples of those strategies would be sight words, visual and context clues, and phonics. Then, I prefer to use leveled readers to improve their fluency and comprehension. For writing, after assessing their composition, I work with them to improve where needed skills such as organization, elaboration, complex sentences and transitions. I use hands on materials and lots of practice to teach math.

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to avoid lecture in teaching. For me, personally, instruction comes from helping the student understand the material on their own without having to directly be told everything. This comes through in creative exercises that help the student to understand the concept better and to hold onto the idea much easier.
I have experience teaching not only at the college level, but also for grades 6-12. I was an English teacher during my most recent stay in France and I've tutored Accounting at Houston Community College. As an English teacher, I taught not only grammar and comprehension specifically to students that had issues with the grammar of English, but I also was involved in teaching Shakespeare to the students as well as many different forms of English literature. In addition, I have acted as a French tutor for many years.

My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : Essay structure, technical writing, analytical writing.

I have a comprehensive background in the social studies having utilized all of my college elective courses to take social studies classes for my secondary social studies composite teaching certificate. I have a year of direct teaching experience of U.S. History and World Cultures and geography, and for the past 13 years I have worked directly for the Texas legislature drafting legislation. I am incredibly familiar with the processes of government and as a lifelong Texan, have taken enough Texas history (and lived enough of it) to help any student with their studies. I graduated cum laude (with honors) from both Texas A&M and the University of Houston Law Center. During law school, I served as the executive editor of the Houston Journal of International Law and was tapped by the Law Center to tutor first year law students in study skills.

I believe there is more than one way to accomplish a goal so I am not limited to only one certain teaching style. I will adapt to my client. A client may learn best while sitting and discussing subjects, another client may learn better if the subject can somehow become an activity and still other clients may absorb information a different way. I am prepared to adapt my approach to ensure my clients benefit from every session. I keep my clients informed about their progress, I do not get frustrated, and I am always patient with my clients so they feel comfortable enough to take initiative. They know if they make a mistake we can seize the opportunity to discover the area we should focus on.
I have attained a MS in Counseling and Psychology, and a BS in Psychology with a Math minor. Through my journey into higher education I have been fortunate enough to motivate myself and others to ... read more

I graduated in 2004 from the University of Oklahoma with my Bachelors in Business Administration. I regularly helped my fellow students survive the academic rigors of Business School.

I begin by first gaining an understanding of what their knowledge and perceptions are on a subject so I know their level of comprehension. Afterward, I like to illustrate the main parts as they relate to the whole so the student can get a full grasp of how each component fits into the big picture. From there we delve deeper into the details of the individual pieces.
Towards the end of my college career I assisted in "Community New Start" in Austin, TX which was a mentor program assisting high school children in under-privileged districts. I assisted with basic math and English material. A few months later a group of us from the University of Texas assisted in the "Reagan High School" project, where the district was considering closing the school down due to failing TAKS scores, mainly in reading comprehension and math. This entailed going into classrooms and helping teachers w ... read more
