I have experience tutoring former classmates and some clients. I find that because of class sizes and lack of time, some students are not getting the proper instruction needed to succeed. The way public schools are set up they focus on excelency on state tests, and don't build up on needed stepping stones for the next years levels. I have succesfully tutored in Pre-Cal, Calculous, Algebra, Marine Biology, FAA Private Pilot written exam, Spanish, English, etc.

I am a certified Special Education teacher. I work in the NEISD district. I have been a redirection and behavior teacher, a self contained teacher, a resource teacher, and I have co-taught a class. I have taught resource classes in reading(phonics, fluency, comprehension), math (STAAR prep). I had a tutoring client for 3 years working on math every week. I am motivated and love a challenge. I student centered. I believe you have to know how the student learns and tailor the work to interest them and relate the material to real world scenarios. The student needs to be engaged to be able to reach their full potential.

I earned a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Plymouth State in New Hampshire in 1975. I have 16 years teaching experience at the elementary level teaching 5 years of 2nd grade, 8 years of 4th grade, 1 year of 5th grade, 1 year of 1st grade, and 1 year of 5/6 Language Arts and Science Resource teacher experience. I also taught 1 year at the Junior High level teaching 8th grade Pre-Algebra. I love teaching because of the difference it makes in a child's life. I am easy to get along with and have a great sense of humor. I will apply all learning styles possible in given circumstances to ensure success and the sense of accomplishment. I am very dedicated to other interests and activities in students lives. Given the proper learning environment, structure, boundaries, tools, guidance, and willingness to learn I believe every child is capable of learning.

As a student-athlete from the University of Texas at Austin, I understand what it takes to be a well-disciplined, organized, focused, dedicated student. I hold a bachelor degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, which has allowed me to master a number of areas, including english, math, and science. I have also gained exceptional experience in formatting, researching, writing, editing, and revising numerous written works. These skills allow me to help your child become a very skilled reader, writer, and mathematician. I have tutored English and Math over the last two years. I have a truly divine passion for working with children. I will not stop until I have helped your child discover all of his/her academic talents! We all have strengths and weaknesses, and I am available to build upon your child's strengths, and to also drastically improve his/her weaknesses, resulting in a more

I believe everyone can learn, but we all learn in different ways. Once we recognize our gifting, (we all are gifted in specific ways) we can experience success and power throught learning. As an educator I have the priviledge to build and create working and molding human souls that will also do the same as they experience, and this is the beauty of teaching and also learning. I have been a student and an educator all my life. I have successfully taught for about 5 years in the U.S.A. and also overseas. I have a very strong background in Science and teaching any subject in many areas of science is my delight. I am also certified and qualified to teach Spanish at any level, not only because Spanish is my native language, but because I have studied at a higher level in both languages, English and Spanish. I have an extensive background in the Spanish language. I have done studies at the

I love the English language with its nuances, beauty, and precision of meaning. I taught in public schools for a number of years as a substitute, then returned to the university to study teaching of art, finally achieving a Master's Degree in English (All A's), with certifications to teach both subjects. I have helped a number of adults to improve their writing, have edited and proofread others' works. I wrote a number of monographs for scholarly conferences and taught Freshman and Sophomore English at Texas State University for eleven years because I love teaching, tutoring, and writing. I have been teaching part time in a local school district. I am a "Renaissance woman" with many interests. Depending on who I am teaching and what topic, I firmly but gently involve the students in the areas where they need help. I motivate them to a greater interest, therefore a more satisfactory

It has been my privilege to teach at many levels and venues over my career which started in the mid 70’s. Elementary Education was my first major, and I enjoyed teaching in a Christian setting at 5th and 6th grade levels for many years. I opened my own Reading Center to help special students. Later I went to graduate school at St John’s College. I’ve taught Jr. High, H.S., and Jr. College. Most recently Sylvan Learning Center has given me great experience teaching reading, writing, and math. My goal is to help students succeed in learning and in gaining confidence. My teaching style is to get the student engaged through multi-sensory and high interest sources. Utilizing student’s strengths helps gain early success and a willingness to grow and be challenged in new areas. I consider my 25 years of teaching experience to be a rich storehouse from which I can draw for future opp
