Reading is one of my top subjects! Throughout my teaching experience I have encountered students of all ages and abilities, from elementary students with reading difficulties to adult learners of ESL. My approach to teaching tutees how to read is tailored to each student's level because I believe that every student is unique with their own set of strengths and weaknesses. While I enjoyed teaching reading at High Point Elementary, I love one-on-one tutoring because of the complete attention I can pay to each student. My personality is encouraging, positive and patient, and that has served me well in building relationships at WyzAnt Tutoring and Thumbtack. My role is to help the tutee express themselves, use English correctly, and help expand his or her knowledge base.

I adapt my style according to the needs of my students because everyone has unique and different abilities.

Never stop learning!

I grasped the importance of education at a very young age and excelled throughout school. Early in my youth I also developed a sincere passion for helping fellow classmates who I saw were having difficulties comprehending course material. I had a knack for connecting with students, identifying the point of confusion, and creating different avenues to reach full comprehension of a subject matter. I have since went on to develop tutoring groups on all educational levels. I co-founded a youth group T.U.F.F. (Teach Us First Foundation) where we attend local elementary schools offering tutoring services in Math, English, Sciences and Social Studies. During high school I developed a teen study group entitled Let's Rap where we would meet (with professional tutors on site), assist each other with homework and discuss any material that was causing confusion in class. During my time at Albany ... read more

My comments on tutoring Reading : Hello! I am a highly certified teacher with over 20 years of successful experience, with a devoted passion and love for teaching all children. I have been working with students from K-8th grades in all subject areas, including reading,reading comprehension, language arts, and writing. I have also worked with students with emotional and behavioral difficulties, as well as ADHD and ADD throughout my career. Currently, I am in pursuit of a doctoral degree in Instructional Curriculum K - 12. I believe in targeting the needs and focusing on difficulties a student may be experiencing. I have seen that as we tackle the academics, the confidence level of a child increases as well.

Serve as a role model by demonstrating skills and processes then act as a facilitator to help students develop and apply these skills and knowledge. I also use several interactive approaches to hone on students' varied learning styles. It is my belief that " failure is not an option". All students, both young and old are capable of being successful.

I am a patient and compassionate tutor and I have experience breaking barriers in learning for children who are stuck because of anxiety or blocks to reading, writing or mathematics.

My comments on tutoring Reading : I am very secure in my reading skills and I have received high scores on all of my competency exams.

I have been teaching and tutoring students for more than 20 years. I currently provide online as well as in person tutoring to students in the areas of phonics and reading. I am an ESL teacher for a couple of online companies in China. I work as a substitute teacher for the public school system where I live and I am also pursuing a degree in Spanish at Arizona State University. I previously taught in a small private school that I founded. The school served students in grades kindergarten through second grade and it was founded with the idea of promoting literacy through the encouragement of world language learning. I teach beginning and emergent literacy skills in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Mandarin Chinese. I have also taught in two charter schools over a period of 15 years. During that time I served as a teacher in various areas, such as Kindergarten, First Grade, PreK, and Arabic. ... read more

Reading is one of my top subjects! I am very proficient in Reading and currently work at a county school on the middle grades level and have worked with elementary students for 5 years prior to moving to middle school where I teach a reading and decoding group Monday-Friday. I also have a certificate in Reading and Decoding as well as a Bachelors degree.

In college, I strived to do my very best. Like many others I had to write papers on different topics and grammar and comprehension plays a big part in writing a good paper. So, I took the opportunity while I was earning my degree, not to just get the degree, but to make sure I was doing the best I could so I could teach others what I had learned. I earned a BS in Human Services and I am currently working on a Masters degree. I conduct a reading group during the school year everyday for 1-8 students a day.
As a Paraprofessional-Educator, I enjoy working with children in the areas of reading. They come to me struggling and in need of more assistance that I feel I can provide. I enjoy decoding and comprehension for basic skill understanding. I have worked with children mentoring and tutoring them for the last 8 years.

I look forward to providing academic service with a smile

My passion for teaching comes from a desire to learn and teach about new experiences. As a graduate from Strayer University, I am a living testimony that hard work and dedication to learn pays off. For six years working as a tutor and teaching have been the most rewarding jobs I had. I feel I am making a difference in the lives of the students I teach, as I observe them gaining more knowledge and watching their grades increase. The subjects I specialize tutoring in are English, ESL/ESOL, Reading, Writing, and Marine Biology. While attending Clayton State University, I was known for having great writing and reading skills by students who were in my study groups at the beginning of the term. Many times, they would ask me to review their paper and correct errors found in their paper, so I decided to work in the learning support center in my junior year of college. I provided academic assi ... read more

Learning is a Stepping Stone to a Successful Elevator

My style of teaching is based upon the needs of students. Learning can take place through hands on techniques, art, creativity, music, dance, paper/pencil, drama, or team work. I believe students can have fun and learn at the same time. Projects and out of the box activities are creative teaching techniques to help students extend, expand or develop their talents.
I have been in the field of education for 19 years. I enjoy interacting with students and helping them academically as well as teaching life skills such as communication, team work, collaboration and building self confidence. I believe learning can take place through fun meaningful activities. I have participated in various leadership roles such as grade chair and chair of various academic and nonacademic committees. I am certified in teaching gifted students as well.
