My comments on tutoring Literature : Broad knowledge of literature from the Renaissance to modernism. Particularly strong in Shakespeare, Renaissance literature, and James Joyce. Experienced in promoting early childhood literacy through a year of AmeriCorps service with an educational nonprofit.

I have a flexible teaching style that aims to address the individual learning styles of my students. I believe in helping students reach the point where they can use the skills that I am teaching them on their own rather than relying on my services. I believe, as well, that a serious focus on learning should be tempered by a sense of fun - by making learning enjoyable.
I have over five years of experience in teaching and one-on-one tutoring with students ranging from elementary-school children to undergraduates. I worked as a peer tutor at the Colorado College Writing Center throughout my undergraduate education, helping students with all stages of the writing process. I went on to serve as an AmeriCorps VISTA at an educational nonprofit, where I helped young children to improve their literacy skills. There, I also taught after-school classes in science, homework help, and gardenin ... read more

EXPERIENCED IN ACT PREP AND ALTERNATIVE LEARNING STUDENTS...

I am a licensed Social worker with tutoring experience in and out of college. I have the most experience in tutoring Algebra and other math. I have a student now that I am helping with AP English who has dyslexia. I enjoy watching her grammar skills increase and her overall understanding of the concepts develop. I am great with any age individual and have the patience it takes to work with any kind of student (special needs included).
I believe that people learn the best when they understand the meaning and logic behind what they are learning. When a student can see a pattern develop they develop an understanding that can be universally applied to many different areas of study and life circumstances. Learning is different then memorizing. It is especially important to understand the concepts behind the subject matter when planning continue in a similar learning subject.

I would LOVE to help your child reach their potential!

I am structured yet kind. Kids need to feel a connection to their teacher in order to give 100%. I work a great deal on building community in my classroom and allowing kids to appreciate the diversity among themselves. Not all kids are going to excel in all areas. They need to value what they are really good at and share that with their peers. This also creates miniature "experts" which makes all kids feel good. Once a child feels successful; in one area it encourages them to tackle something they are less comfortable with.
I have worked as an elementary school teacher for 7 years. I have been fortunate enough to teach grades 1, 2, 3, and 4. In my experience I have found that children build confidence through small successes. My philosophy is to set maintainable goals allowing students to meet them frequently building confidence and motivation.

I'll help you a score well on the MCAT

I received a 34 on the MCAT, 12 verbal, 11 physical, and 11 biological. I received my degree from St. John's College in Santa Fe and my med school hard science prerequisites from UNM with a 3.8 GPA. I can help you with chemistry, organic chemistry, basic physics, anatomy and physiology, basic biology, critical reading, test taking, and study strategies. Contact me at ting.says(at)gmail.com with subject line "tutoring" to discuss what subjects or tests you'd like to be tutored on.
I prefer my students to take a free assessment, like a practice MCAT, then send me the results so that I can gauge where you are and what you need to work on. From there we'll work on test taking strategies, study strategies, and whatever specific knowledge gaps you have.

Accomplished writer and editor here to help!

Patient and nurturing. I understand how it feels to be a slow learner.
I was an English major and worked at the University of New Mexico for seven years. In that time, I was a mentor/tutor for the College Enrichment Program, editor for the Blue Mesa Review, teacher's assistant for a children's literature course, and participated in several creative writing workshops. I have a lot of experience working in an educational environment.

My philosophy of education envisions learners that construct meaning by engaging in various and authentic experiences that are provided within and outside of the classroom. In order to prepare them for future educational and vocational endeavors, students will explore a multidisciplinary elementary curriculum that utilizes their various learning styles. This exploration will occur within an educational environment that will be framed on high expectations for behavior as well as academic performance.
As an elementary school teacher that focuses on helping diverse populations, I have extensive experience. I have worked with English language learners, and have worked a great deal with students who have learning disabilities. I am a trained consultant with the Wright Group (in math), have TESA training, and currently exclusively teach math to four groups of fifth graders.

My teaching style is very open and I am very attuned to students’ inherent aptitudes, learning needs and ways of processing information. I am very approachable, responsive, personable and believe in affirming a student’s self-concept as a learner. Different approaches and conditions are often required for optimal learning, so I endorse multiple methods to acquire information and apply concepts. I am very interested in working with authentic assignments, homework requirements and projects attached to a student’s curriculum. Making learning fun and relevant are important elements of my teaching style as well.
With Masters degrees in Education and Library/Information Science, I have experience as an educator at public and private institutions.. With a teaching focus that has featured writing, reading, basic/advanced research, information literacy and media, I have taught student ... read more

I have done much sales and customer service work, as well as teaching. I think listening is key, recognizing the humanity in each person, and relating to it while communicating. In teaching, setting expectations is important... expectations of what the goal is; what they will learn, and then adapting it to the abilities of that individual. Again, as I said, I think listening is key, and empathizing with the individual. Of course you have to set standards, such as homework expected, and tests (as a teacher).
I earned a BS in Business (CIS) with a cumulative 3.4 GPA and membership in two National Honor Societies. Courses included Chemistry, many Social Studies classes, and calculus-based Chem Physics. Briefly I taught Science and Math at a private high school in Albuquerque and did well, but quit because of a medical problem with my leg. After active duty in the Navy, I ea ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is one of my great passions. I thoroughly enjoy overcoming the initial hurdles as the children are hesitant to receive me as a teacher, and to see them open up to me. It's also thrilling to see them blossom as they absorb new information and incorporate it. I'm certainly an advocate of fostering intelligence at a young age. When children begin to learn, they begin to build self-esteem, which they will carry with them indefinitely. In life, nobody can rob one of his or her education.
Thanks to my education in psychology at Brown University, I have gleaned much wisdom about the workings of human behavior as well as the human psyche. I have been able to observe applications of what I've learned throughout my daily life. This is especially helpful in teaching; I can recognize the various personalities and the accompanying learning styles in the students, which enable me ... read more

English is my passion. I love the written word and believe it to be the highest form expression known to man. This is why I pursued and obtained a degree in English. Though I only have my bachelor's degree, I have studied more literature than most students in the graduate program. I am also a writer on the side, mainly poetry, and have been published by several magazines. Grammar is second nature to me; I know instinctively wrong from right in that department. I don't have as much teaching experience as some, but I am thorough in my duties and eager to fulfill them.
I have always been a fiercely independent learner, and that affected my grades in high school. When the teacher told me to read one thing, I would read another. Many students are of that caliber today. As such, I am able to connect very well with the deviant pupil. As a tutor, my goal is to awaken the interest an ... read more
