A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching elementary students since 1995 in 1st and 4th grades. I have taught all subject areas, especially language arts and math. I want to encourage students to think for themselves and to work through their learning in a way that makes sense to them. Here is a Greek proverb to consider: All good things good to know are difficult to learn.
Whenever possible, I use highlighters, colored pencils, hands-on manipulatives, and other items to help students learn.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : Can answer the question, what is of importance and why?

I allow students to discover answers by themselves by prompting them with questions. This hands off technique reflects the minimalist philosophy of the writing center I worked for, and I have found it is a far more effective way to help students grasp concepts which will globally make their writing better. Understanding the fundamentals of good writing is the most important tool to becoming a good writer; where merely diagnosing an issue and giving an answer for it leads to much more lazy writing in the future. That's what makes fundamental understanding so important, because it carries over into future assignments.
As a student, I earned a 3.87 in my major of English Arts, while both working as an employee for the school writing center and as a contributor for the school newspaper. I also did a lot of moonlighting outside of the writing center as a personal tutor for undergrads, h ... read more

Teaching has been a passion for me for a long time. I believe that if one is to effectively learn a language, one needs to get a close to immersion as is possible. Therefore, reading outloud, pronunciation, listening, and speaking are focused on. Although grammar and spelling are important, so is comprehension. Through visualising a sentence instead of just a word, one has a better chance at understanding, and will learn vocabulary more quickly. Students of all ages will benefit from my method.
As is evidenced by my background, I hold education as one of the most valuable of commodities. Throughout life, an education is something that can never be taken away. It is a form of wealth that stays with you. I have two Master's degrees. One in Accountancy and one in Business Administration. My undergraduate education focused on International Studies and French.
