Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mineral Wells, TX

I have never believed in or practiced the lecture as a form of instruction. Rather I apply a program of hands-on repetition, a "walk me through it" approach whereby the student demonstrates what has been retained and understood and where we need to apply some more time. I continually review what has been learned so everything stays current and fresh in the mind. I have found that most students retain more when humor is interjected through the instruction period and how what has been learned is applied to every day life. Praise and commendation of a job well done is vital to the continued interest of a student. I have never met anyone who has not responded positively to praise. As a business professional I was continually called upon to make presentations to corporate personnel, owners, propert management personnel, and other interested parties. I made these presentations interestin

My teaching style is best described as eclectic. While I am organized and focused, I vary my instructional methods to incorporate diverse activities and materials to engage and interest students. By understanding human behavior and acknowledging the many different learning styles of students, I easily establish and maintain an excellent rapport with students and parents alike. As a result, there is a strong level of trust that develops which also allows me to provide direction in working towards realizing shared goals and objectives. When faced with challenges, I succeed in utilizing a variety of strategies to motivate and encourage positive interactions. Over the past 20+ years, I have worked with students from Pre-K through the college level. The commonality that I have found is that reading is the one thing that students need to be able to do and do well in order to be successful.

I believe the true way to teach is to make a connection for each student: relate the material to something the student already knows. A more “hands-on” approach will allow the student to learn faster with greater retention. I feel that every student has the ability to learn, and that it is the teacher’s job to provide each student with the connection. In today’s age, classrooms have become over-crowded thus making it more difficult for the teacher to make that connection. It is the job of the tutor to fill in the gaps. With this theory, I try to use my experience in the work field to relate the subject matter to the student’s surroundings – hence math and science are my forte. I work well with children by making learning fun, but also have the knowledge of complex problems to provide the same environment for high school and college students. As a child of an Air Force pilot, I have alway

Since childhood, I have always had a passion working with children. Coming from someone who had a tutor, I have a first-hand experience of the impact a tutor can leave on a child. I believe that every child has the capability of learning; the process to reach their potential for each child, however, is different. I am a very committed, patient and open-minded person who has a positive outlook on any situation. No matter a students’ academic situation, I have full confidence that it can be improved or made better through proactive responses. My tutor made an impact in my life because she gave me hope and never gave up on me. I want to be able to share this experience and make the same difference in other students’ lives. I am recent graduate from Texas Christian University (TCU). I majored in Entrepreneurial Management, a program ranked 18th in the nation. Entrepreneurial Management has h

I enjoy the wonders of discovery and assisting others with master concepts and practical logic that helps them in every aspect of their lives. Tutoring is not so simply as to aid a child in finding the answer or getting a college student to pass the examine. It is truly the disciplined approach to knowledge and truth that allows one to branch into new facets of understanding and truth. To tutor means to assist another in seeking real truth and understanding that will allow success and confidence to build. I have a passion for language and rhetoric. Words, truth, knowledge, and exploration have marked my academic career. I studied with two colleges during my Associate years in order to obtain lessons in Japanese. I took my passion for language into history with pursuits in Latin and Greek while attending the College of Saint Thomas More. I have offered consistent and helpful tutoring to y

I attended Texas A&M University and obtained a BS degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I currently teach kindergarten in a Title I district which has provided me with the opportunity to work with children from various different backgrounds and socioeconomic situations. I have am certified to teach early childhood through 4th grade in the state of Texas and also have a standard ESL certification. My goal as an educator is to create an environment that is safe, secure, and comfortable for each child and to encourage and allow their learning to grow through curiosity. I strongly believe that every child deserves the right to a fair education and should be given the chance to reach their full potential, and I make it my mission to ensure that each individual child knows there is no limit to his or her own success. I also believe it is very important that each student recognizes his or her ow
