Knowledgeable and Enthusiastic Tutor in English and Algebra

Hello! My name is Christina, and my chief tutoring interest is in English and related areas such as writing, reading comprehension, grammar and literature. As an English major in college, I found myself frequently editing friends' papers at their bequests. I found the process very satisfying, and I enjoyed being able to assist them in learning new concepts and helping them develop their own writing skills. I also developed a deep interest in literacy during my collegiate studies, and I like the idea of helping students improve their skills through tutoring. In addition to my specialty area in English, I am also very competent at pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. I am experienced with test preparation, having taken numerous AP exams, IB exams, the ACT and both the regular SAT and several SAT subject tests. I have excellent study skills and time management skills, which I th ... read more

Individualized learning/teaching for optimal comprehension

I take a hands on material approach to learning/teaching. I feel that young students learn best when they can physically learn, such as through blocks/puzzles/interactive learning devices and other similar approaches. I try to let the student use their hands as much as I can to aid in their learning process. For older students such as my high school students or their college counterparts I use more direct audial teaching and visual teaching styles. Every person learns differently, so I cater my teaching style to each individual learner.
I started tutoring in my teens helping young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders develop English and Math skills as well as speech therapy and public speaking. I tutored my fellow students while attending Carroll Community College in English 101 and 102 as well as Creative Writing. I then moved on to being a one on one with high school students ... read more

Seasoned Teacher at Your Service!

I believe that all children deserve a positive, nurturing environment that is conducive to learning. Children need to have a place where they feel special, safe and accepted. The classroom should be this place, but many times falls short. I am confident you will find that my unwavering commitment to education, excellent organizational and interpersonal skills, solid instructional methods, and hands-on experience will be a positive asset to your child. I posses 15 years of experience in education and have taught grades Pre-K through 5. I also have two years as a special education teacher.
As a well-rounded educator, I have had the chance to teach a diverse group of students including those challenged by autism, learning disabilities, noncompliant behavior, and speech impairments, as well as children who functioned on and above grade level. Consequently, I have gained in-depth kn ... read more

I believe in a play-based approach to teaching new concepts. My approach to teaching is to generate excitement over learning, which I believe helps cement ideas in young children’s heads. In my early literacy lessons, I play games like "The 3 Strikes Game" or "Backwards Hangman" to reinforce phonics skills. The students enjoy the opportunity to beat me by making strong sound-letter connections. I have experience teaching drama to all different age groups and I use drama games and experiences in my pre-K classroom. When we learn about Martin Luther King, Jr. and the bus boycotts, we act out the experiences of the people in that situation, giving my students a unique understanding of their circumstances. During a unit on fall, students take an "Imagination Walk," to imagine what it would be like to be an apple made into apple pie. My focus in the classroom is on teaching early ac ... read more

Writing is one of my top subjects!

When teaching, I take the time to learn my students' personalities and strengths. Then, I tailor a strength-based approach to teaching my students new concepts and ideas. I usually incorporate a mixture of traditional and non-traditional teaching techniques in my lesson plans. I provide structured opportunities and supports for my students to apply what they have learned. I also challenge my students to take ownership of their own learning process by incorporating leadership development and civic engagement activities into my lesson plans.
I help others become their best selves. I enjoy teaching and tutoring youth and adults. Over the years, I have had opportunities to not only mentor and tutor youth, but to teach and tutor adults, as well. I have experience teaching and tutoring the following subjects: (1) Language Arts/Reading; (2) Language Arts/Writing; (3) Social Studies; ... read more

Special Educator with many hats and minds to utilize.

Since the year 1997, I have worked with many students in Baltimore City and Howard County School system as an aid, reading assistant, substitute teacher for many subject areas including Science, Art, Health, and (long-term) English, High Subject (for all subjects) and a Special Educator that carries with many titles and various needs including transitions, SST, 504, and committees.
I believe that we all learn better one way versus another but it does not negate the many ways of learning as well. As a teacher I believe that everyone wants to learn but many are unable or have not been able to see the connections it has on our lives and that we all have talents and skills that needs support, encouragement or attention. Exploring, memorization, practice, demonstrate in as many ways are all but a few ways to instruct, guide and facilitate.

A Little Bit About Me...

I help my students to ask questions about why something is this way or that way. It is not as simple as just memorizing subject matter in order to regurgitate it for the upcoming test. The purpose of teaching is to help others understand something that is known as true.
I was on honor roll in high school on a consistent basis. My best subjects were English and Writing. I attended Pennsylvania State University for Communications with a focus on English Writing and the study of Film and Media Arts. I have a thorough understanding of the English language and a strong knack for comprehension. I believe that I would be able to teach my techniques for not just memorizing subject matter but for comprehending and understanding it.
