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

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 ways that the student can grasp. I especially love helping students who experience difficulty learning and watching a student light up when he/she finally understands a concept. I believe that learning should not just be an accumulation of facts, but teach people to think through real problems and come up with viable solutions to these problems. By individualizing student instruction all students realize their dreams and succeed in life. 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 educat

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

I have been able to develop a great teacher-student relationship of mutual respect and trust. I like to get to know the students learning style so I can adjust my teaching strategy to better fit them. I think it is important to create a situation where the student can feel successful, which will improve their confidence in learning. I earned my Degree at BYU-Idaho where I majored in Math and minored in Health. While in college I taught some lower level math classes. I went on to work at a year round school working with troubled teens. I was able to learn many different teaching strategies to work with different personalities.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education with a minor in ESL (English as a Second Language) teaching. Throughout my educational experience, I had many opportunities for tutoring students one-on-one in a variety of subjects. I’ve tutored a broad spectrum of students, from those who were struggling and falling behind, to some who were excelling and who simply needed help being motivated. I once had an Israeli student who knew almost no English when the school year began, and I tutored her every day in oral language and reading instruction. In a matter of a few months, she showed tremendous improvement. In my five years of teaching elementary school, not only have I taught reading, writing, math, social studies, science, and art in a whole classroom setting, I have also tutored many children individually, mostly in reading, writing, and mathematics. Every child is differe

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 teacher. If one method does not seem to be working, I will keep trying until I find the right method for the student I am teaching or tutoring. 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

A proverb I once heard best describes my teaching philosophy: "Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I become." Thus, my goal as a tutor is to help students discover for themselves. That way learning becomes not only more engaging, but more lasting as well. After graduating from Utah State, I taught 2nd grade for a year at a charter school. It was a good experience, but I wanted the chance to work with students in a variety of settings. During the past school year, I was hired as the Spanish Specialist at another charter school which has been another great experience. Some of my favorite subjects to teach are math, writing, history, music, and Spanish. I have tutored in English, reading, math, and Spanish.

In the past 7 years I have had the opportunity through tutoring to help students from kindergarten through college exceed in math at various levels. Earning a BA in Mandarin Chinese has helped me to really learn what it means to work hard and a variety of other skills. I have not only learned how to better learn and teach second languages, but also have developed great skills in analytical reading and technical writing. I have had a variety of jobs in my work experience, but my passion is for tutoring and teaching. The greatest reward is to see a student succeed who previously thought it wasn't possible. I am patient, down-to-earth, and kind. I evaluate where the student is at and look for anyway possible to help. I take pride in finding a method that fits because I know that each student learns differently from their peers. I tutor because I love to help people.

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
