Elementary Vocabulary Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Laguna Park, TX

My style is what works for the person I am working with. I am opened to sharing my ideas, but listening to each individual and what works for them. I have worked with various needy students who have been classified as learning disabled, or those who know they are in need for assistance. My experiences vary, as I worked with older children in filling out applications for jobs and to prepare for jobs. I also, have worked with many adults on writing papers for college preparation or with helping their children on writing tasks. I have worked with young children on phonics and reading readiness.

I encourage higher order thinking, and help students learn to become self-directed and independent. Not only will your child develop greater skills and knowledge in each discipline, he/she will develop many specific thinking strategies and skills which they will apply in the classroom and throughout life. My mottos is, "Learning is serious, but that doesn't mean it has to be grim." I believe in making learning exciting, and especially in helping children learn to believe in themselves as successful learners. I have high expectations, and I provide the support they need in order to meet those expectations. It does not take long for a student to realize that they really are smart, then they are ready to take on greater challenges with confidence. I have a Texas Teaching Certificate for K-8, all subjects. In addition to teaching elementary school I taught courses at the University o

I have tutored friends and family for 4 years. I have also tutored others while in school and after school for 3 years. While tutoring, I try to find a way to help the student learn by finding a style that fits their personality; therefore, I do not have a preferred teaching style. I've tutored kids ages 6-14 and enjoy doing it.

As an educator in the public school system for over 3 years at the preschool to 6th grade level and as a tutor for the same grades I have gained the experience and knowledge to tutor students in vocabulary in creative ways that will allow them to retain the knowledge they learn so they can master the subject and carry it with them for a life time to further their education in all of the subjects as they advance through school and life with confidence. Creative teaching for a life time love of learning. I gather everything at my disposal to work with my students and teach to their particular style of learning. I have used basketball to teach social studies. Vegetables to teach science. Peanuts cereal and even M & M's to teach math. A lecture is not always the best method of teaching, but that is what they get in the classroom. A tutor has more flexibility. 3 years experience as an educa
