Composition Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Kenilworth, UT

I am a senior in high school. I have taken a range of different classes and I am able to help students understand what is being taught. I helped many of my friends get better grades so that can graduate with a better GPA. I have never really solo tutored anyone but I feel that I will be able to help in some sort of way. I have taken many science classes and I did very well in them. Also I did very well in English, social sciences, and history. I have also taken classes up through Accounting 4 and i am pretty good with business classes. I have helped in a Homework help lab and tutored kids having trouble in classes before so i have a little experience with helping students. I got A's or B's in all of my classes so I do know most of the material so i will be able to help students. Also I studied how to teach kids in ways that they will understand because most kids learn in differe

I recently completed my Master's degree in Portuguese at Brigham Young University. As part of my Master's program, I taught beginning and intermediate Portuguese for five semesters to classes both small and large. My studies included not only language and linguistics but also culture and history of both Portugal and Brazil. I have experience in teaching reading comprehension and writing as well as speaking, and am familiar with ACTFL guidelines for oral proficiency. I also have experience specifically in teaching Portuguese to speakers of other language, and I also speak Spanish and some French. In addition to my ability with Portuguese I have experience in both academic and creative writing with five published works including one for national publication, in addition to another that has been accepted for presentation at a conference this fall. I prefer face-to-face interaction, as langu

I graduated Magna cum Laude with Bachelors degree in Elementary Education and a Resource Minor in 1990. I taught special eduction K-3 one year and K-6 for three other years where I restructured the special education program to bring it up to research based best practices. I supervised nine aids, three assigned to my classroom and six to individual students. I designed curriculum aligned with student IEP goals, collaborated with regular education teachers and related service providers, and monitored student progress. I have only two classes before earning my Master's Degree in Educational technology where I designed technology instructional units. I believe that each student has strengths and weaknesses and it is my job as a teacher to find these and help students expand on the strengths while overcoming the weaknesses.Each student has a unique learning style so I need to teach things in

I thoroughly enjoy working with students in any learning atmosphere. I have learned through years of working in both, a volunteer and school atmosphere, that each child has different paces and learning styles. What works for one child may be all wrong for another. Through this each child I feel deserves, not only the time and understanding from someone who cares, but also someone who is willing to put in some added effort and time in to making that child feel confident and comfortable learning. I am a very understanding teacher. I am willing to develop different ways to help children to understand and to learn the subject. When I was younger I had a really tough time with my speech and with my reading/comprehension. I went through school constantly having to work slower and harder than most students in my class. I was so determined to get better at my learning disabilities that I

First and foremost, I love working with and teaching children. For that reason, my future plans are to be a pediatrician. They are so wonderful and nothing is more exciting than watching a child grasp a brand new concept. I believe that every child, if given the one-on-one attention they deserve, can not only learn but excel in any given subject. I give a 100% in all that I do, and I promise you that your child will receive nothing less. They will be better prepared for their subjects, and as a direct result, they will do better at school. I grew up reading the nutritional panel on everything. I was absolutely fascinated how the body used the food that we eat to derive the energy and perform the tasks necessary for life. This interest in the human body led me to pursue a degree in nutrition. I recently graduated Brigham Young University the honored graduate of my college with a

I homeschooled my 3 children, during which time I developed, planned and taught full curricula over the course of 15 years, each year tailoring the material to the levels and needs of each child. I have taught most subjects from Kindergarten through high school level including math and science of many levels. I am also excellent at quickly understanding content I have not taught before and helping the student understand it. I am very good at helping with research papers and other writing assignments. I can help with editing and proofreading. I have taught English as a Second Language to Spanish speakers for 2 years. I have beginning Spanish speaking ability. I know how to help students study and learn. I can teach ways to get important information from notes and textbooks to help students complete assignments and increase test scores. I am very patient and if a student doesn't understand

First and foremost I believe in teaching/tutoring from where the student is when I meet her or him. This is because if I don't appreciate and understand what the student knows, I can't really begin to imagine where to proceed in order to help them achieve their potential. So, I pay careful attention and ask questions to assess her or his intellectual position and concerns in relation to what it is they wish to accomplish. I am also interested in learning how the student learns because that helps me also imagine how to approach the tutoring process. Once I establish this baseline understanding of their motivation, learning style, and objectives, then the student and I can formulate a plan for an enjoyable and successful learning experience. While I have taught in various ways and capacities throughout my life, I have always enjoyed most teaching one-on-one. As an undergraduate Spanish min

Throughout my undergraduate studies at BYU, I taught and tutored in Spanish for up 24 hours each week. I supervised 5 districts of students, 10 teachers and up to 65 students at one time, while still teaching in the classroom. Additionally, I graded papers for college-level business courses for several years. As part of this experience, I provided feedback on writing, grammar, and content. I have now been a TA for more than 30 college business courses. I have finished all pre-medicine science classes with a science GPA of 3.3. My teaching style is flexible depending upon the needs of my student(s). Some students have disabilities that make drilling or repetition styles of teaching and tutoring difficult and tiresome, while other thrive on it. Others need hands on learning opportunities and problems to work through on their own. Regardless of the student’s need, I am a tenacious teache

I have taught and tutored K-12 subjects English, Basic Math, History, and Science for three years as an Educational Specialist helping home school students. For the past three years I have taught in Utah Elementary schools in the primary grades. My favorite job of all time was teaching ESL in a middle school. I love education and helping students learn to read, write and love math. I enjoy working with children and helping them discover their individual learning style. I believe all children can learn but that we each have our individual strengths. I beleive that discovering ties to students pre-existing knowledge is the key to getting their intrest in a subject. Students learn best when they feel safe and understood. I work hard to understand my student's needs and help them discover their strengths.

I believe that all children learn differently. I do not have a specific way of teaching because I get to know my students and help them learn depending on their abilities and learning style. I do however believe in each student learning to do things on their own—I am their tutor, not someone to do their homework for them. I believe in constantly practicing until the concepts are grasped. Practice makes perfect! Starting from high school I have always been passionate about young children learning. As a young child I was fortunate enough to have people in my life care about my education and help me succeed. That is what I wish to do. I have approximately three years in tutoring English/Reading and Math to all grades of elementary school and middle school. I have succeeded in helping many children in succeeding and achieving their dreams and goals for school.

I strive to help your child achieve academic and personal success. In my student teaching, I saw first-hand the need for students and teachers to have a relationship where fairness and mutual respect are top priorities. I also witnessed how students can feel the intention of their teachers: when teachers truly desire for their students to succeed, the students can sense this. I am committed to creating a positive relationship with your child and to let him/her know that his/her success is my main goal. When teachers have high expectations, their students consistently rise to meet them. I will set my expectations high for your child, as I believe he/she can and will meet them with the proper support and encouragement. My experience at Brigham Young University instilled in me a desire to pursue lifelong learning and to assist others in their own quest for knowledge. I earn

I love working one-on-one with students. I can see individual needs of students and work with them on overcoming them. I generally pick specific things someone needs to work on and prepare my lesson working only on that until there is sufficient progress to move on. When I teach I like to give examples of what we are working on and then allow some practice time to assess whether or not students understand the material. One of my teaching tools is making exercises that a student can take 15-20 minutes to complete outside of class and use it at the beginning of our next session as a quick review/Q&A opportunity. I enjoy teaching and seeing progress in my students. I believe most students have undiscovered potential to excel in any subject.

Though I studied Psychology while attending Utah Valley University, I spent two and a half years tutoring college students in English. I spent my senior year editing a scholarly journal for the School of Business Management. As a tutor, I helped students who were learning English as a second language to comprehend and properly use idioms and phrases in their writing, as well as helping them with spelling and grammar. I also helped students whose writing lacked polish to improve papers written for many different subjects. I helped an otherwise smart dental student who struggled with composition write an application for dental school, and he got in. I prefer sitting at the student's elbow, with the assigned work in between us, focusing on it together. I talk about "it" rather than "you" to avoid making the student self-conscious. Writing can always be improved, and each student has areas o
