Writing is one of my top subjects! Writing is like construction: if you don't have the right tools your structure will fall apart.

My style of teaching is real-world understanding and application firmly based on theory. In other words, I teach how to accomplish each element, but why it is important to do so. In my instruction, I establish goals and create achievable steps for the student to follow in order to achieve those goals.
I spent over 20 years as a graphic designer for various colleges and universities. In that time I used my office as an educational opportunity for my student assistants, but I always had the desire to teach. In 2011 I returned to school for my Teacher Certification in English Language Arts and Reading grades 8-12. I have since then taught English I, II, III and IV, Recovery Reading for 9th and 10th graders, as well as Art and Yearbook. My experience has taught me that every child has a tremendous capacity to learn and excel, but not all know how to unlock that capacity. My job ... read more

Creative Writing | Business Communication Tutor Available

Inspiring students to "let go" and tap into their innate creative talent. I believe that everyone has the ability to write well and creatively, but the "inner critic" acts as an editor (according to Julia Cameron) which prevents people from expressing freely. I teach students how to control the "inner critic" and create from mind to page, and to value the creative process and the act of writing without prejudgment. As a marketing professional I also routinely teach professionals and business owners how to use WordPress and manage seven corporate brand blogs. Students who are serious about becoming a professional writer must learn WordPress, as it is the foremost program used for corporate websites. I am also a WordPress website designer.
For nine years I have been successfully employed as a full time creative writing / ghost writing professional. My work has appeared in The ... read more

Reading, Writing, and More

I have no set style of teaching. I try to understand how to benefit the individual by examining their needs. Then, we go from there. Some students need an analytical approach, so the material can best be presented as a formula. Others need a creative approach. It really just depends on the student.
I have a Bachelors in English Literature w/a certificate in Technical Writing from the University of North Texas. I have put myself through school by working as server part-time. This has given me a great deal of patience. I have experience as an office manager for an apartment locator, and I have tutored my friends through their English courses.

My comments on tutoring Writing : I learned to enjoy writing in college and am quite proficient at teaching writing for different purposes, for example, a persuasive essay. I will always love writing and editing, and particularly enjoy good writing - to the point of underlining well-written sentences in books I read!

I have joyfully taught students in grades 1 through 5 in Los Angeles urban schools, and in the suburbs of Plano. I have also been a Literacy Coach, assisting teachers in grades kindergarten through fifth to enhance their teaching skills in reading, writing, vocabulary, phonics, etc. - all areas of literacy. I have worked one-on-one and in small groups with "at-risk" students to pin-point their areas of weakness and fill in the gaps. In addition, as a Literacy Coach, I have conducted numerous professional development sessions for teachers in grade levels from kinder through fifth grade. I, myself, am a committed life-long learner.
I treat children with the same respect and dignity that I treat adults, regardless of their age. I don't use "baby voices," as my goal is to elevate them to their highest academic levels. I've been told I'm a "cool" teacher by students because I treat them ... read more

Student centered and dialogue.
I have taught algebra, geometry, ESL, English Grammar, and Arabic language for over nine years. Most of my teachings have been one-on-one where I use standard textbooks, secondary sources, and additional materials to reinforce classroom/online learning. I provide plenty of time for Q&A session. I use various teaching methods; for the most part, this include student centered learning. I also focus on differentiation learning, where I attempt to cater to each student's learning needs.

“To know how to suggest is the art of teaching.”

I have recently graduated and am eager to share my knowledge with others. During my time in school, I became an AP Scholar, Presidential Scholar, 21st Century Scholar, and Honor Graduate. I graduated in the top ten percent of my class and am dedicated to the education of others. I am currently pursuing a degree in education.
Learning should be a fun experience for children and adults alike, and while I maintain structure, I also want to make sure that students are enjoying the time that they spend learning with me. I am a patient teacher, and as someone who went through school with ADD, I understand the difficulties many children face in traditional classroom settings.

Learning can be fun and exciting; it's all in our attitude!

I have been in education for 18 years. I started in special education and general education. I taught math, English, reading, science, and history. I also taught the GED and the state test (CA). I tutored all subjects to homebound students. I facilitated reading programs and held workshops for teachers that taught special needs students. I was also a high school counselor for 5 years and have my credential in school psychology
I love working with students and my style is direct teaching; I feel that a student needs to master the concept being taught before moving on to the next level.

Ex-classroom school teacher with 10 years plus experience!

My teaching style is one that always tries to relate to the child and to have fun. Does the child enjoy video games, dinosaurs, soccer, dance, or a particular cartoon character? When I discover what it is the child enjoys, I bring that element into the subject we are learning about. If the child likes soccer and struggles in reading, I research about famous soccer players and find books on them. Perhaps, at the end of a teaching session, we go outside and kick the soccer ball for 5 minutes as a source of inspiration to get work completed. Bringing in other ways of learning through play and games is also something I enjoy. Playing simple math games or reading games is a easy way to teach a child, without them realizing they are learning.

Education is not a preparation for life, it is life itself!

I use a critical pedagogical perspective in teaching English to students where students have active participation in their own learning. I believe that minds of students are not considered as where information are deposited and they are actively involved in their own learning. To me education is not a preparation for life, education is life itself, as John Dewey stated. The supplementary material I use are selected based on the student's needs, interests, and background. My teaching sessions are lively, interesting, and inspiring where students feel safe and confident. I have a Bachelor degree in Psychology that helps me build a good relationship with my students. I truly believe that when one likes his/her teacher, he/she will automatically like the subject matter! i
