Elementary Phonics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mc Veytown, PA

I teach students in an informal manner. My individual students call me Phyllis. I welcome questions, and if I do not have an immediate answer, we will look up the answer together. I am a positive, patient teacher. I use creativity to help students learn. Often I will introduce an idea, and then have students explore how to use the idea. Then the student and I evaluate the result together. If I give a student practice examples to reinforce the ideas we have covered, then I am prompt in returning those materials, and will not move on until the student is satisfied with his own proficiency. I do not believe in standardized student learning. I have always desired to be a teacher. I graduated from Penn State in 1981 with an English degree and a music minor. I have since continued to take classes in both English and Music Education. I have taught all grades, tutored individuals and g

I am currently an undergraduate student enrolled at Harrisburg University. I will be graduating in December 2010 with a BS in Biotechnology.

I have always enjoyed tutoring children; in high school, I actively participated in a youth tutoring program, but I also feel very comfortable tutoring older students and adults. My goal is to provide any knowledge and experience I can to help a student reach his or her highest academic potential, and through patient instruction and self-discovery, I hope to make a difference in the educational lives of my students. As a recent graduate of a private liberal arts institution with a degree in Medieval and Early Modern Studies and a concentration in pre-medical courses, I have a diverse and extensive understanding in several areas of study, both in the humanities and the sciences. Having completed a senior thesis as well as various essays in all disciplines, I feel that I have a commanding grasp of the English language and superior writing skills, and the proper knowledge needed to tutor in

As a graduate of the Department of Engineering at Vanderbilt University, I feel I am very qualified in tutoring Calculus 1 and 2. Not only have I taken the classes both in high school and during my time at Vanderbilt, the engineering curriculum reinforced these theories by integrating Calculus into nearly every core class that I took. My degree taught me how to think analytically, forced me to learn quickly, and demanded that I be able to communicate effectively within a team. Teaching is something that has always come natural to me. Whether its giving golf lessons out at the local country club, or teaching my younger siblings math and chemistry. It is something that I enjoy and I will persist until results are shown. My teaching style is to first observe, then diagnose flaws and work from there. I have much faith in the capability of the human brain and believe each individual is capabl

I have been a substitute teacher in the surrounding school districts. In all school districts I have worked with children from many different backgrounds. My Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and my Master's degree as a certified Reading Specialist, not only provided me with the knowledge to teach students who were struggling with the basic reading skills, but also helped to enhance my skills as a reading teacher within a regular classroom. This also enabled me with the skills necessary to teach children of various ages and abilities. My strong tutoring skills were acquired while tutoring children who had been struggling with the basic subjects. Also, I tutored students who were considered at risk of dropping out of school. I enjoy working with children and helping them succeed in their growth and development. I think that teachers can either positively or negatively influence

As a graduate of a sound Liberal Arts College, I've learned that the greatest asset I took away with me was the art of communication.

As an online graduate at Kaplan University, I quickly became aware of my priorities. Students seeking help often emailed other classmates for assistance. I was often told there were very few students who responded to their emails; however, I was one of them. I earned my Associate degree through Allegany College of Maryland. I enjoyed this area of study so much that I decided to transfer to Kaplan University Online and continue my study in Business Administration with concentration in Accounting. I attended graduation in Chicago, IL, where I learned no matter what obstacles in life you face you can continue your education if your mind is set to do it. My overall GPA at Allegany College of Maryland was 3.6 and 3.5 at Kaplan University Online. I love to help people understand what they are learning. My goal is to see the "lightbulb" flash on in their mind. I am always available to help your

Head coach for girls’ softball team and won first place every year. I instructed students in various technical schools the Medical Billing/Coding Programs. Now, teaching Medical Billing/Coding at Harrisburg Area Community College. In addition, I tutored high school students for two years in Algebra. I have an understanding of how students struggle in various subjects such as Math and English which are two of my strongest areas. What tools I use in the classroom really depends on the student's learning style and course material. Some individuals learn by performing tasks, while others learn by reading or hearing the material to be learned. I use a variety of methods depending on the course such as: PowerPoint, Internet, Lectures, Whiteboard, Student Presentations, and individuals within the community to discuss their current views on health care and their roles in Medical Billing/Co

Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or toddler a "functioning human being" until the child can speak. This is so inaccurate! I taught one of my daughters to read at age four. My teaching style is to engage the student on a personal level through cheerful conversation and sharing of interests, then to assess learning styles, strengths, and challenges. Children perform well when expectations are complimentary to them, and when they are given the tools and nurture to accomplish their dreams. I graduated from high school as number eleven in rank out of 248. I often assisted other students in both high school and college. Later, as a homeschooling mother of four, I taught all of my children all subjects through the eighth grade level. I just returned from the island of Saipan, whe

As an educator, my main objective is to create a positive learning environment where my students are eager to explore, take risks, share ideas, and acquire knowledge. I am a strong believer in the student-centered teaching approach, which allows students to explore and take risks as they acquire knowledge. I want my enthusiasm for learning to establish a lifelong positive attitude for learning in my students. By helping them discover their own personal passions, I can watch their curiosity come alive. With patience and understanding, all students are capable of making great strides. The feeling of reward and satisfaction that I will get watching a student succeed at any task, simple or complex, is priceless. As a Penn State graduate, I was motivated to achieve a high level of excellence in my teaching career. I maintained my standing on the Dean's List all eight semesters of my colleg

I have a genuine interest in the success of people. I am flexible and am willing to adapt to accommodate the student's learning style. Teaching is like a puzzle to me. I approach each student and subject with a fresh mind and find the style that will facilitate the highest level of achievement. I understand that sometimes learning in the classroom just isn't enough. A positive influence outside of the classroom is invaluable in the development of a child. As part of the requirement to be a member of Pi Delta Phi, the French National Honor Society at UCF, I was required to tutor French students of all levels on a regular basis.

All of my previous students would describe me as fun, loving, and patient. I am an extremely upbeat and energetic teacher as well as person. I think the best way to teach children is by making learning fun and exciting. I try my hardest to implement that into each lesson I cover. I truly believe each and every child can learn, and with that mentality they do. It is crucial for each child to feel successful. A child will become more invested in school and work harder if he/she has a teacher that cares and loves them. I let each and every one of my students know that I am their biggest fan! I know that having a teacher that believes in you can make a world of difference. I have worked with children for as long as I can remember.
