Elementary Vocabulary is one of my top subjects! I am a mother of a growing seven year old! I am very passionate in assisting fellow elementary students excel and enhance their skills. I am part of my daughter's PTA and monthly tutor her fellow classmates in reading skills. I have been part of the PTA for two years. For the past two years, I have been a private tutor for elementary children. Finally, for ten years, I professionally tutored my sister in language. I can assist your child in his or her vocabulary skills. First of all, a dictionary is required. We will work together and read respectable grade level books. The student will have " weekly word list". The word list will consist of words their school requires them to know or age-appropriate words be given. These words would need to be placed in alphabetical order, sentences, crossword puzzles, and much more. These exercises will provide the child confidence in themselves when book reports are given and etc.

I am a very friendly and patient individual. Since I specialize in tutoring elementary children to adults,I understand I am going to have different methods of teaching. For all my students, I try to find out what their weakness and strengths are. I attempt to have them notice it as well; that way we can work together as a team. For children, I always have some type of reward or goal for them to strive for. For example, I would remind the student that after they finish their assignments they would receive a sticker, lollipop (under parent permission), or medal.I have found children love recognition. This keeps them focused or excited. For my adult session, the end of the day goal would be a little different. I would remind the student their goal and why they are pursuing tutoring. On the last day of the tutoring session, I usually treat the student out for lunch, provide a certificate of ... read more

SUCCESS, RIGHT AT YOUR DOORSTEP!

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspir ... read more

Determined to make students succeed in achieving their goals

Russian High School 2000-2009; Studied Russian Grammar for 10 years- straight As in the subject. Worked with little kids helping them acquire basic education skills. Webb Academy, CA 2009-2010; Volunteered as a bet assistant at a local clinic, babysat for teachers Cushing Academy,MA 2010-2011 The George Washington University 2011-present
I always try to find a different approach to learning. If the material is delivered in a boring way, it won't be memorized. I try to engage students to become really interested in the subject. I use metaphors and comparisons to explain the meaning of a certain word of phrase and a clue to remember both its spelling and meaning. My goal is to share the information with other people, so that one day, they can use it to be successful people.

Summa Cum Laude | University of Michigan | You can 4.0 too!

While I was a Rotary Exchange Student – South Africa | 1999-2000, I volunteered to tutor students of various ages every subject, except Afrikaans, and was very pleased with their progress, and enjoyed it. I excel in the Arts (Creative, and Graphic), English, Statistics, French, Social Studies, Reading/Writing (especially essay) and would be best for college prep (Highschool ages grades 9-12), as well as Creative Arts for all ages. Please see my profile for everything I feel confident to be at expert level of. I am confident I could dramatically improve any student's writing skills as well as their art abilities.
I adjust to the learner and speak their language, establish rapport through mutual respect, and try and make it as fun as possible.

Creativity is Key

I've been tutoring English for almost 2 years and playing bass for five. I enjoy teaching and watching people learn. I believe in teaching a craft in a way the student will surpass the teacher and perfect it. I have a pretty unique style of tutoring. I like to see how the student learns then work with how they think.

Patient, Results-Oriented, and Dedicated!

I use effective practices, strategies, and resources to inspire and enrich each student's learning. Direct instruction, workbooks, visual aids, computers, math manipulative, hands-on activities, mini-labs, student-centered discussions, one-on-one tutoring and small-group instruction are used to honor various learning styles, students' needs and goals, as well as to ensure they are active learners. Students participate in small-group instruction, hands-on activities, mini-labs; may use computers for further enrichment and technology-integration; analyze words and stories; make real-life applications to concepts being presented; and customize their own learning environment through student-centered and teacher-led discussions and enrichment activities while receiving caring and effective support and guidance from me!

Spreading knowledge across the world

I am a 17 year old female who has so much talent to share with the people around me. I'm apart of a community service club, I play a variety of instruments, and from my experiences I've gained a lot of wisdom. I may not be certified with a piece of paper to show, but who said that in order to spread knowledge you had to have graduated and attended college? All in all I aim to please and I give 100% because 99 1/2 won't do.
I'm more of a hands on and visual teacher. I prefer to show than to read because many ideas can come from one sentence. I learn more by drawing out or actually seeing what my teacher is trying to convey.

Hardworking, Efficient, and Productive Tutor

I'm a young student who enjoys teaching. It's the responsibility of the teacher, to cause the subject to come alive for each student, and that is what I love to do. Only through that, can the student fully grasp what the teacher is offering to them. Both the teacher and student or students can greatly benefit from each other, when things are done in the right fashion. The teacher perfects his or her skills and the student also gains whatever it is that he or she wants to learn.
Strategic and fun

Prior Planning Prevents Pitifully Poor Performance!

As a former senior congressional staff, I worked very closely with Members of Congress to ensure the success of their term and their reelection. In addition, I have worked on Gubernatorial and Presidential elections. My experience is not limited to one geographic region of the United States but extends internationally to Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. Most recently, I worked to help pass the Maryland Dream Act. I trained campaigners to identify, educate and register new voters which resulted in increase voter participation in the Latino, Asian, and African-American communities as well as with newly naturalized citizens and students. Within a 15 week period, I coordinated with local communities, school districts, and non-profits to identify, educate, register and mobilize voters in underserved and underrepresented areas by successfully meeting and exceeding expect ... read more

I teach flawless spanish, not accent at all. State of Art

I use different methods all of total immersion. Audiovisual helps and music tools.
I am native speaker and professor of Literature, my Spanish is flawless. Usually, in U.S., professors of spanish have a strong accent, what the student or the parents, can not perceive, but will be perceived, when the student use Spanish, in academic and business circles. I teach the highest level of Spanish, state of art, without accent. Neutral. I have long experience changing accents from Latin America and Centro America.
