Literature Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mercury, NV

While teaching heavily depends on the teacher to teach a subject I also allow students to find their own way while I teach. I have been successful in the field of sales and received the Million Dollar Round Table award in 1980. I have raised two sons. One has gone on to higher education and received a degree in Engineering. I wanted to teach Special Education primarily because my oldest son became schizophrenic in his late teen years. I was a substitute teacher in California while getting my undergraduate degree and my first masters degree. I got my Masters of Education in special education: emotionally disturbed students. I love teaching people. Adults and children.

Along with studying American and foreign literature for years, I have tutored students in the intricacies of literature. Most of the best novels ever written have been written by people we have never heard of because they were marginalized by society because they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many worshiped the "wrong" God or had the "wrong" skin color or chose to love the "wrong" gender or were of the "wrong" social status or class. Such authors who wrote amazing novels and plays but who were ostracized during their lifetimes and still became famous were Oscar Wilde and Tennessee Williams, Walt Whitman, T.S.Eliot, Truman Capote, and Virginia Woolf, but the vast majority of timeless literature was written by perfectly "normal" people. If I am granted the privilege to tutor you in Literature, we will not only read the material, but dissect it, examine each line closely t

I keep it interesting, mixing activities. I have a Ph.D. in Political Science/ International Relations from the University of Washington in Seattle (1995).

I am 100% fluent in Spanish and was born in Panama (also a US citizen). After teaching on military bases in Japan and South Korea on and off for the past five years, I need to be in the United States for family reasons, in Nevada. Until I decide what to do next, I need to keep working. Recommendations available from all employers over the past decade.

Given that I was born in Lebanon, with French influence over the country's educational institution, I grew up learning both French and Arabic at school until I reached college and began broadening my English language skills. I have given many private lessons while at college in French as well as in Math. I have recently tutored my cousin's daughter in numerous school subjects as well. I love languages and I am in the process of learning Russian and possibly later on Chinese. I know from experience that the best way to learn a language, apart from books, is through direct contact with a native speaker of the language. As such I would love to resume my tutoring by helping others in Arabic or French who are willing to learn. I have mainly worked with children depending on the school's curriculum, to help them understand and advance in numerous subjects. I am willing to help adults and chi

I am a laidback teacher, but I also have high expectations. I expect any student to have a will to learn and to improve. I'm not a hard tutor, I give credit where credit is due and I find nothing more gratifying than seeing my students learn on their own. I love teaching more than anything, it's what I'm good at. I have had four years of experience in high school as an English tutor for lower classmen, mostly regarding composition, grammar, and reading comprehension. I have no certification or degree, but am working on my Associate's Degree in English before transferring to University to complete a Bachelor's and then a Master's Degree to teach high school level English. I know I am young, but I am serious about my work.

After graduating, I wrote for a weekly newspaper that inspired and attracted the attention of people living in Queens, New York. I am able to speak and write Spanish fluently.

I believe that a teacher's adaptability is the most essential skill. A teacher's style should be evaluated as often as a child's progress. All people develop at an individual pace and style so it makes sense that information should be presented in a manner that actually communicates to each child. Coming from a special education background, it is my belief that every person has the ability to learn. Adapting curriculum for each student would be ideal. For special education this is called the individual education plan. Tutoring, supplemental education, and individual attention to students help to provide this specialized, possibly ideal, situation. Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the l

I really enjoy working with children, I feel they have so much potential if given the opportunity and some students just need that one on one help with a tutor or a teacher. I make sure that my instructions and how I am teaching is consistant with how well the child is able to grasp the concept or idea I am trying to teach. The whole purpose in teaching is to make sure the student understands and that is what I practice. I have volunteered for a violence prevention program for one year and I taught children social skills and also have them complete a nine week course of homework assignments. I also was a big sister for a little girl and I not only spent many hours with her going to the park, arts and crafts, but I also helped tutor her with her homework.
