Teach to Encourage

I consider my self very hands-on.
My teaching career started as an elementary school teacher. I've been teaching for 11 years now. I've also taught adult education for six years at Terrebonne Parish Juvenile Detention Center. Throughout my teaching career,I've also worked as a mental health professional. I admired working as a mental health professional,because it helped me to understand and relate to my students better.

My comments on tutoring Reading : The thought of reading an entire book can be a daunting task for a child, but I strive to teach students that once you start using your imagination, reading can become one of your favorite things to do!

I recently obtained my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, where I graduated in the top of my class with a 4.0. While there, I often tutored people in writing and research, as well as serving as a Teaching Assistant for various classes including: Theatre History, Voice for the Actor, and Shakespeare. In addition to my degree in Theatrical Performance, I received a minor in English Literature. Since I've been home, I've been helping some of the younger members of my family with their writing and study skills, and their grades have greatly improved since we've started working together. I love teaching and spreading my passion for learning, and I can't wait to show your child just how valuable and fun knowledge can be!
I'm very laid back, but I know how to get results. I have always been a very disciplined student, but I realized pretty early in my acad ... read more

Texas Certified Teacher: Early Childhood thru 5th Grade

The relationship that I and your child will have will be based on mutual respect, and I will ensure that your child's academic specific needs will be my focus. Each child has a different way to learn. As a trained and certified teacher I find ways that my students can grasp the concepts and learn. I believe that concepts should be learned first on a concrete level, using hands on strategies. Once they "get it", we can move on to more abstract ways to understand.
I taught Early Childhood and Elementary school, grades Pre-K through 5th, in the Houston Independent School District for 10 years. I mostly taught 1st grade. It is amazing to see them progress and learn, from non readers to readers, from non writers to story writers. Since I moved to Baton Rouge I continued tutoring children struggling academically in the areas of Math, Reading, Language Arts, Spanish, and Social Studies.

Right now I am in school to be an English High School Teacher at LSU. I have a year left of school and am very excited to start my career. I have worked in preschools and daycares since I was 16. I worked my way up through the classroom and became a lead teacher of a 3-4 year old class. This allowed me to create lesson plans and help the students.

Language and Social Studies Tutor Now Accepting Students

I have taught Spanish and ESL at the collegiate, upper/high, and middle school levels. I earned my B.A. in Spanish with a history minor from Baylor University in 3.5 years and graduated Magna cum Laude. I earned my M.A. in Spanish at Baylor University in May of 2010. I have tutored extensively both during and after my studies. I look forward to working with you.
I believe that anyone can learn. I approach history as a story (albeit a very detailed one) and languages as a skill set. I don't do rote memorization, but instead emphasize the patterns, causes, and effects of concepts. If you can begin to understand the why and the patterns behind concepts, the material becomes more meaningful and a lot of the need for rote memorization is removed. Mistakes are learning opportunities, and learning should be meaningful, not stressful. I take whatever approach necessary to give you ... read more

In high school I graduated 3rd in my class. Tutored last summer at big buddy for volunteer and did a little this summer so I'm still getting the hang of it, but my passion is helping students to excel in their reading skills. I remember what it used to be like for me as a student in high school and other facilities. I also volunteered at LSU for 3 weeks at Gear Up.
I'm a very auditory type of person meaning I like to explain, but I understand sometimes that gets boring so I can come up with different strategies to get my point across.

Reading is one of my top subjects! I help students to build their confidence in reading by using a specific genre that appeals to them; therefore, they want to read as opposed to being reluctant readers.

I am a facilitator of many styles of teaching, I use visual aids, kinesthetics, tactile, musical, etc. when teaching.
Thirty-three hours toward a Master's Degree in Urban Education, Four-year degree in General Studies with the majority of classes in Math and Education. I use computers to help students with reading comprehension and to visually represent concepts to raise achievement levels. Additionally, I will be fully-certified by May of 2013.

Helping your student feel good about themselves

My style of teaching is patience, understanding individual needs, and building self confidence in the student. I have taught 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, ad 4th grade for 10 years in Ascension Parish and St. Tammany Parish. I have taught 12 years as a Reading Interventionist specializing in the Voyager program using small group settings. My plan uses diagnostic tools to determine a starting place for each student to determine needs. I use many types of games, stories, writing practice, flashcards, etc. to enhance the tutoring session and to keep the child engaged in learning. I tutor students in Study skills, writing, spelling, phonics, grammar, basic learning skills, and organizational skills relating to homework (time management).
