My comments on tutoring Composition : I can promote creative thinking and brainstorming to assist the student to express his thoughts. Then I can teach the student to organize his thoughts and make an outline.From this outline he can form introductions, conclusions and paragraphs.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is so rewarding, there's nothing better than helping someone understand something they have struggled with in the past. I am a very patient person who loves to work with people. I also enjoy helping people overcome challenges. For example: when I worked at the accounting office my specialty was dealing with clients who had or have issues with the IRS. It was my favorite part of the job, especially when the issue was resolved! My teaching style is different for different people, everyone learns differently. The trick is to help people figure out the best way for them to catch on and retain the information. After finishing my masters I hope to teach at the high school or college level.
I finished my BA with concentrations in management and accounting at Troy University in 2007,then worked for three years in an Accounting Office. I left there in January 2010 to pursue my Mast ... read more

I am confident that any student can learn the material; however, I know that sometimes different amounts of work are required, as well as different teaching methods. I try all methods until I find one that works. My job is to teach the student, and I do not stop until they understand the material. I am highly encouraging to my students, though I do push them to work hard in order to succeed. Nevertheless, I think the learning environment should be comfortable and fun in order to reduce tension for the child, so I strive to maintain an easygoing manner. Also, I long to impact student's lives, and so I try to teach them about life and to explain how the material can be applied in everyday life.
I have always been passionate about education. I pursued a double bachelor's degree in English and Spanish with the hopes of teaching the subjects one day. Indeed, I will, as in the fall I wi ... read more

Having just graduated in May 2008, I feel lucky to have already experienced a wide range of instructional opportunities. Last fall, I was employed as a Teacher's Aide and Learning Lab Facilitator. Serving in these capacities have provided me with amazing opportunities to experience the "Response to Intervention" program, IEP's, inclusion classrooms, as well as one-on-one and small group tutoring. In the Learning Lab, I taught both English and Math. In January, I was employed as an 8th grade Reading teacher. During this time I was introduced to a wide range of highly effective reading intervention strategies.
Teaching has always been a passion of mine and I thoroughly enjoy helping students to realize their full potential. I believe that all students are capable of achieving academic success so long as the teacher provides a means through which students can make personal connec ... read more

I truly believe all children can learn. I am very student-centered as I know that each child learns in different ways. I have a minor in Psychology which I use to help me understand the psyche of the child. Behavior is a very important aspect in learning and I employ Positive Behavioral Supports and an individual approach to every child. I am a strong believer in using real-life problems, manipulatives, and engaging activities that use all the senses.

More About This Tutor...

All through my career my focus has been to teach to the needs of the individual student. I believe that learning is fun. I believe that all students can learn, given the proper encouragement. I have fun when I teach. I have very high expectations for my students, all of which have experienced some sort of difficulty in the educational system. My classroom is a place of smiles, laughter, and achievement. As a tutor, I bring the same beliefs to the table. I have two main objectives for any student: to create a positive, encouraging learning environment; and to help the student find his personal learning style and train him to use it efficiently. If you’re looking for someone to help cram for a test, I’m not your man.

More About This Tutor...

I find that teaching is as much about getting to know each person, finding there strengths and weaknesses and using those to benefit them in their process of understanding. I like to come up with creative approaches that will suit each individual's strengths for learning. I know that one on one attention, support and encouragement is a large component of what is missing in a lot of today's public school classrooms and love the opportunity that tutoring can provide to children who can learn just as well as anyone else, but may not be finding success in the classroom. I live for the moment when the "light bulb" comes on, there is no greater reward for that individual or the person that got to help them arrive there.
I am a lover of learning. My love for learning has certainly attributed to my working my way through a Masters of Arts in Teaching. My enthusiasm for helping others to le ... read more

While at Purdue, I studied English literature and writing (academic and creative). I began college studying English education. This gave me experience in the classroom at the observation level. I pursued courses exploring classroom techniques, dynamics, and the incorporation of technology. My minor in Communication introduced me to Associated Press style and improved my copy editing skills. My second minor in Art fostered my ability to approach problems creatively. While I eventually switched my major to English, I have always loved teaching. In high school, I was given the unique opportunity to go into an elementary classroom on a daily basis and tutor students in reading through STRIVE (Students and Teachers Reaching in Volunteer Efforts). In college, I edited my peers' papers. Also during college, I babysat for two boys and helped them with their Kumon (an after-school prog ... read more

It is my experience that everyone has the God-given ability to learn. Whatever it may be, we have the capacity to acquire knowledge and skills that enable us to have a better quality of life and to be valuable assets to others in this ever smaller global community. I believe in the conveyance of good moral values not only through verbal constructs but more importantly by example.

A Little Bit About Me...

Though I graduated with a BS in Secondary English Education, I have tutored and worked with students from elementary to secondary levels. From 2003-2008 I taught English and a little Spanish in both public and private schools, endeavoring to give my fullest and best to teaching all students who came across my path. Teaching in a U.S. public school and at a private institution overseas introduced me to a variety of students from different backgrounds, learning styles, and study habits. I have tutored and given instruction in all areas of English, grammar, literature, writing, English as a second language, and Spanish. Though not currently teaching, I hope to continue helping students achieve their goals and dreams.
Variety is good! I enjoy working with students of all backgrounds, personalities, and academic levels. I have come to realize that we learn differently. What works w ... read more
