Reading is one of my top subjects! Throughout my teaching experience I have encountered students of all ages and abilities, from elementary students with reading difficulties to adult learners of ESL. My approach to teaching tutees how to read is tailored to each student's level because I believe that every student is unique with their own set of strengths and weaknesses. While I enjoyed teaching reading at High Point Elementary, I love one-on-one tutoring because of the complete attention I can pay to each student. My personality is encouraging, positive and patient, and that has served me well in building relationships at WyzAnt Tutoring and Thumbtack. My role is to help the tutee express themselves, use English correctly, and help expand his or her knowledge base.

My tutoring style is serious yet fun, and I bring a lot of patience and enthusiasm to my tutoring sessions. Students of all ages and abilities, from elementary students with reading difficulties to adult learners of ESL, have benefited from my services.

Never stop learning!

I truly believe the strength of my teaching/ tutoring style is my devout compassion. I am able to exemplify extreme focus, patience, motivation and due diligence because I ultimately care about the success of the students I tutor. My initial step in the tutoring process is to perform a thorough analysis of the students comprehension of the subject. Once I'm aware what the student understands and don't understand a unique and proper game plan is developed to reach a confident grasp of course material.
I grasped the importance of education at a very young age and excelled throughout school. Early in my youth I also developed a sincere passion for helping fellow classmates who I saw were having difficulties comprehending course material. I had a knack for connecting with students, identifying the point of confusion, and creating different avenues to reach full comprehension of a su ... read more

We Can Succeed Together!!!

I have been tutoring independently since 2009 but have always liked helping others learn. I am good with math and numbers.

I have worked with students as young as 5 years old teaching them how to count, numbers, etc to working adults in college and graduate school.

I look forward to providing academic service with a smile

My passion for teaching comes from a desire to learn and teach about new experiences. As a graduate from Strayer University, I am a living testimony that hard work and dedication to learn pays off. For six years working as a tutor and teaching have been the most rewarding jobs I had. I feel I am making a difference in the lives of the students I teach, as I observe them gaining more knowledge and watching their grades increase. The subjects I specialize tutoring in are English, ESL/ESOL, Reading, Writing, and Marine Biology. While attending Clayton State University, I was known for having great writing and reading skills by students who were in my study groups at the beginning of the term. Many times, they would ask me to review their paper and correct errors found in their paper, so I decided to work in the learning support center in my junior year of college. I provided academic assi ... read more

Learning is a Stepping Stone to a Successful Elevator

My style of teaching is based upon the needs of students. Learning can take place through hands on techniques, art, creativity, music, dance, paper/pencil, drama, or team work. I believe students can have fun and learn at the same time. Projects and out of the box activities are creative teaching techniques to help students extend, expand or develop their talents.
I have been in the field of education for 19 years. I enjoy interacting with students and helping them academically as well as teaching life skills such as communication, team work, collaboration and building self confidence. I believe learning can take place through fun meaningful activities. I have participated in various leadership roles such as grade chair and chair of various academic and nonacademic committees. I am certified in teaching gifted students as well.

Reading is one of my top subjects! I am very proficient in Reading and currently work at a county school on the middle grades level and have worked with elementary students for 5 years prior to moving to middle school where I teach a reading and decoding group Monday-Friday. I also have a certificate in Reading and Decoding as well as a Bachelors degree.

In college, I strived to do my very best. Like many others I had to write papers on different topics and grammar and comprehension plays a big part in writing a good paper. So, I took the opportunity while I was earning my degree, not to just get the degree, but to make sure I was doing the best I could so I could teach others what I had learned. I earned a BS in Human Services and I am currently working on a Masters degree. I conduct a reading group during the school year everyday for 1-8 students a day.
As a Paraprofessional-Educator, I enjoy working with children in the areas of reading. They come to me struggling and in need of more assistance that I feel I can provide. I enjoy decoding and comprehension for basic skill understanding. I have worked with children mentoring and tutoring them for the last 8 years.

Passionate teacher who loves to see others succeed.

I have a hybrid/blended style type of teaching. I assess my student's needs as I work with them and set up a plan and style specifically for them. Since I work with younger school aged students I am always teaching with hands on activities that allows the students to become interactive with their learning. They are able to learn through exploration and through discovery, however, I make sure they are also retaining knowledge and learning facts.
I am currently a Para professional that assists in teaching pre-k students in a competitive environment that is preparing them to excel as they begin grade school. My main focus is teaching reading, reading comprehension, phonics, basic kindergarten math and writing skills. I have a history of teaching elementary students how to read and become better in spelling and reading comprehension. I also have experience with assisting in homewor ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have over 15 years of teaching, counseling and administrative experience. I have taught at various schools and churches to various age groups and have focused on subjects ranging from public speaking to english to etiquette for my non profit organization. My interest in teaching has been a passion that I've had for years. My mother was once a teacher, my auntie retired from teaching and my sister is currently a teacher. I believe that this passion has been passed down to me.
