Former Student Looking To Pass Along Her Knowledge

My tutoring style depends on the student I am working with. I will not do assignments for the student, but I aim to help them learn the material and increase their education by doing so.

My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : Writing skills are taught in DYSLEXIA curriculum: manuscript and cursive. 40 years experience teaching all levels: elementary, middle, high school.

I follow the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching READING. This Literacy Intervention includes MULTISENSORY and MULTISTRUCTURED Reading, Phonics, Writing (cursive/manuscript) and Spelling instruction/practice. HANDS-ON and KINESTHETIC activities are especially effective in tutoring students with DYSLEXIA. One tutor, one student at a time, for two or more one-hour lessons per week, in my home. I am DEDICATED and PASSIONATE in ALL areas of teaching, mentorship, and tutoring.
TEACHING - all levels K - Doctoral; CERTIFICATIONS: DYSLEXIA Specialist, READING Specialist, GIFTED Specialist, elementary, middle, high, college/university: PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE: cognitive processes, context effects in perception, biological bases of behavior, experimental, research methods, design, statistical analysis, interpretation; quantitative modeling of psychological data; RESEARCH - DOCTORAL Dissertat ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have never had formal experience tutoring. However Throughout my years of schooling I would participate in study groups which I see as everyone tutoring eachother. I also have two siblings, one very close in age and the other is approximately four years younger. Needless to say, I frequently helped my younger sister with her homework. Just to clarify when I say 'help' I do not mean I just gave her the answers, I would make sure that I either explained or demonstrated the correct way to approach a problem in order to make sure that she understood how to apply the knowlege come test time.
I am a kenisthetic learner but when "hands on" is really not an option I (especially with mathematics) draw so that I have a visual, physical representation of the task at hand.

I have tutored many people in several subjects over the years and find the work fulfilling. I recently have graduated out of the education system and am well aware of what it takes to succeed. I now have a BA in Political Science and a Juris Doctorate and on the way to earning these degrees I successfully passed some of the worlds most difficult tests on the first attempt. On top of the education, I am able to teach my superior test taking and study strategies to my pupils, no matter what age.

I love working with people and seeing them succeed. I tend to meet the person at the level where they are at, then adapt the lessons to their learning style. I am very creative and strive to make learning fun. I believe all people can meet and exceed the potentials that they set for themselves, if given the right tools. Their motivation is a vital key. Students need to see for themselves that they can succeed, whether this is something small or they complete the graduation requirements or degree of their dreams.

I believe everyone has the potential to be successful. Given the neccessary support and environment, success is within reach of everyone. I believe in creating an interactive, creative and fun environment for learning. This gives the students the motivation to learn and more importantly helps the students to remember difficult concepts.
I enjoy teaching and assisting others to reach their full potential. I have mainly been involved in tutoring English and Math subjects both formally and informally. Throughout my career as an accountant and even as a student, I have written numerous research papers and reports. I have been able to clearly articulate through writing my research, findings and analysis.

My #1 goal is to help each of my students reach his or her ultimate academic potential. Every student has the ability to succeed academically. I believe that children learn best when concepts can be taught/explained to them in their own terms. Once a common ground can be extablished between student and teacher the learning process becomes much easier and the students gain the understanding that ultimately leads to academic stability.
I am a high school business and computer teacher. I have taught for 5 years. I throughly enjoy working with and getting to know my students. I consistently work with students to help them excel both in my course work and in their other classes. In addition to having a strong background in business and computers, I was also a communications major, thus I am confident in my ability to help students succeed in the public speaking and language arts.
