My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : Going along with the ability to write and an above average comphrehension of vocabulary and essay writing - you almost have to be able to do just essentially the opposite. As stated, my experience in writing for 4 years for the schol newspaper, past and current work as a health articel writer for the online health magazine www.mindandmuscle.net has armed me with he ability to grasp stories, or subject matter and relay what is difficult subject matter - reading - to my student - and teach it to them in a understandable and absorable manner such that they truly do learn the subject.

I tutored at the mathew dickey's boys club working with grade school students ranging from the 2nd-4th grade. I would essentially go over all of their subjects with them and ensure that they not only completed their assignments but understood the material. In college at Iowa State University I tutored in both Anatomy & Physiology and Biochemistry. Although I have not worked specifically with students in need of writing skills, essay assignments - I was in journalism and wrote for the high school newspaper all four years and served as managing editor and sports editor. Furthermore, I continue to write for the online health magazine mindandmuscle.net.
Learning can be hard. Memorization can be hard. Knowing how to determine the proper equation to use in a chemistry or math equation can be hard. What I focus on with my students is not simply telling them the information and how they sh ... read more

Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects!

I am very patient and work closely with the student to build encouragement. I model what I want the student to do, then I work side by side with the student, and then I allow the student to do by themselves.
Masters Degree in TESOL (teaching English to students of other languages). Am just now beginning my teaching experience, but love students and helping others in achieving their goals and their dreams. Having studied mandarin Chinese I recognize the challenges in learning a different language. This is why I will make your learning experience fulfilling.

More About This Tutor...

I have two years of experaince teaching in public schools and four years of experaince teaching in Christian schools. I have an advanced degree in information technology and a background in English education. I have learned something from each of my students in my yeears of teaching but I think that my first year taught me the most. I think of the famous quote by Nikos Kazantzakis, “The ideal educator turns into a bridge which they then invite students to cross… after the bridge is crossed students must make bridges of their own.” I earned a Master’s of Science degree earlier this year by studying a variety of subjects. I began my college journey in 2006 with the goal of spreading and teaching a love of books, reading and learning. The goal began to be met at Southeastern Missouri State University. I studied English Education there. The school has a great teaching program that not only ... read more

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : Reading comprehension cannot be separated from reading. The point of reading is to comprehend what is written. I teach people to read, ask appropriate questions about his/her reading and report on what the student believes s/he has read.

I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for submission. These students will always earn excellent grades.
I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand. It is a pleasure to watch students gr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My own style I show a sincere interest in each student, I listen to their needs, aspirations, I tell them what I can do to assist them and I motivate the student to succeed at their own level of competency. My degree in psychology and sociology has been quite helpful through the years.
I am a successful business woman who has taught for the last 15 years. What makes me successful as a teacher or tudor lies in the fact that I bring concrete proof to the student on what they need to learn. I motivate them to getting through on this study.

A Little Bit About Me...

Some students remember best what they see, some what they hear, but nearly all will best recall material that they see hear say and do something with. My teaching style is one that tries to incorporate seeing, hearing, saying, and doing and getting students to use higher order thinking skills as much as I can. More than just rote memory and recall, I want then to be able to apply acquired knowledge to solve problems or create new ideas based on their previous learning.
I have worked in both the public and private school settings and have 20 years teaching experience. I enjoy the most the opportunity to work with a child individually because that direct time and attention often makes it easier to assess areas of weakness and how best to adapt instruction to the learner's needs and learning style. One of my most cherished teaching positions was at the Arkansas School for Mathemat ... read more

I have enjoyed a successful career in sales for well over 20 years. In my sales career, I was involved with training of new and prospective employees. This involved showing them all aspects and functions of their jobs, along with utilizing exceptional communication skills, both verbally, and in writing. I was also involved in the hiring and firing process at times. I have learned that, with persistence, perserverence, the desire to learn, that just about anyone can achieve what they want in life. It makes me proud when a new employee strives for excellence, and I hope that they always continue growing, both personally and professionally. It is a priviledge to be a part of that experience.
I teach each person on an individual level. There are several reasons behind this. Some of them are: people have different strengths and weaknesses, people learn at quicker/sl ... read more

My first teaching experience was as a high school senior where I was given the opportunity to teach a small group of 5th graders as part of the Missouri A+ program. We began with division, quickly moving into linear and nonlinear algebra, before touching on the fundamentals of complex numbers, graph theory and trigonometry, before concluding with a derivation of the quadratic formula and its applications. I spent three semesters as the academic chair for my fraternity enforcing study hours for fraternity brothers with lower GPA’s; tutoring students in algebra, calculus, physics, and computer science, among other fields. I have also had five years of experience in Latin up to the college level with one year of Japanese.
I believe that every student can meet his or her potential provided that the subject matter is presented in a way that makes sense to them and that any material c ... read more

Excellence in teaching, I believe, depends less on method and more on the character of the teacher. Since a student is a human being before he or she assumes the role of the learner, it is incumbent upon the teacher to respect the individual, and likewise earn his or her respect, first, well before considering the more technical pedagogical aspects. Along these lines, the teacher must be as good of a listener, must be able to pay the strictest kind of attention to the student, as he or she is an instructor. Intuition and patience are essential. It is only when the educator is able to establish this sort of environment that the teaching/learning exchange can take place.
Most of my teaching experience has come through the various assistantships I had at Wheaton College. These involved a wide range of tasks, from tutoring to leading discussions to conducting extensive research. I have ... read more

There is nothing more rewarding than helping a child fulfill his or her potential. I enjoy helping kids achieve their goals and not only learn, but grow as learners. I believe children learn best through doing. I, myself, am a visual learner and try to provide ways for kids to learn based on their individual learning styles. I have a good sense of humor and a strong sense of fairness. I care deeply for the children I teach.
