Reading Comprehension Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hoyt, KS

I have been tutoring all subjects K-8 for over 15 years. I am a certified teacher and currently teach 6th grade. I worked at Sylvan Learning Center for over a year before becoming a private tutor. I have been very pleased with the results I have seen with private tutoring. References are available on request. I think lots of modeling and review of the concepts being taught is essential. I want the student to observe the modeling and then for me to guide them through the learning of the concepts. Students should be fully engaged in order to gain a full understanding.

I am 23 years old and strive for excellence constantly. I currently have two jobs and a child. I work hard for my family and make sure that I do my best in everything that is put in front of me. I have made it through high school and college. I have worked with younger children as well as older children. I like to be challenged and will learn with anyone and everyone I work with. I have many ways of teaching. I like to make the experience rewarding, fun and educational. As I continue to work with others I find their strengths and weaknesses and do the best I can to make the experience fun and as stress free as possible. I know that it can be tough learning new subjects, however, if you put your mind to it, there is always a way. I use games, activities and also outside projects to learn as much as possible.

I have been driven my entire life to assist others. I started working in the health care industry as a CNA, 1979. I then went to college and obtained my social work degrees. I worked in various settings to include nursing homes, mental health centers, prisons, adolescent group homes and currently home health care, 1987 to 2009. I am currently pursing additional nursing education, so I can combine my knowledge in the social work arena with nursing. Throughout my work history, I was responsible for educational components, with staff, families and communities. I also worked as an outreach instructor for a community college, teaching classes such as psychology to criminal justice. I love working with people and seeing them succeed. I tend to meet the person at the level where they are at, then adapt the lessons to their learning style. I am very creative and strive to make learning f

I have always enjoyed interacting with children of all ages. I currently serve as a paraprofessional (teacher's aide) at an inner - city elementary school. During my three years in this position, it has become extremely apparent that all children....no matter their abilities....are capable of reaching their full potential. It is simply a matter of adapting my teaching style to their learning strengths. I am a patient, easy going individual who tries to improve upon the struggles that I encountered on my own academic journey so the students that I am working with walk away with confidence in school and really, all facets of life. I graduated from Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas with a degree in Communications (emphasis in Journalism) along with minors in Religion and Youth Ministry. While in college, I was a member of the yearbook staff as well as serving as an editor in var

As a native French speaker who graduated from the University of Kansas with a Master in Urban Planning and a BA in Political Science. I have tutored students in French and English as a second language. Prior to obtaining my BA, I tutored high school students for a year in Kansas City. I can relate to students struggling to learn a language as I did when I started learning English, which turned out to be quite challenging for me. I decided to spend a year abroad and learn English as an exchange student I love to share my knowledge. I believe that everyone should have a chance to learn and get educated. I am patient, easy going but firm. I believe that anyone can improve with the appropriate surrounding and a desire to learn.

I have always enjoyed working with children. I believe that having as many positive role-models as possible can really help to shape a student's outlook on not only their education, but how they will tackle problems and opportunities in their lives for a long time. If a student learns that it takes hard work and discipline to achieve good grades and a great education from the beginning, it can help him or her to really do great things later on in life. With that being said, I genuinely care for kids as well. I consider myself a nurturing and yet challenging coach, mentor and tutor because I understand that often times students that are in need of academic help are often also in need of people that genuinely care about their well-being. Through my English and Creative Writing degree at the University of Missouri, I have earned a lot of experience in the field of English. My reading c

Learning and helping others learn are among my highest priorities in life. My high academic honors reflect this drive to learn: I earned magna cum laude in college, and I was valedictorian of my high school class. My degree in English Education gave me a strong grasp of English grammar, composition, and literature; it also gave me concentrated training and practice in teaching these subjects to adolescents. As a volunteer, I have taught Sunday school to fifth- and sixth- grade students. I am also a classically-trained pianist and served as church pianist for many years. Because each individual student is important to me, I seek to get to know each student personally while retaining a professional demeanor. This helps me understand the student's particular needs so that I may teach the student most effectively. My naturally gentle personality makes me a patient and encouraging teacher. I
