I believe everyone learns best when the subject matter is interesting and engaging to that student. I have always tried to adapt my curriculum to the interests of my students. For example, I found many little boys felt they hated reading, but with the right books, could actually enjoy the experience. Learning should be fun! Progress of any sort should be rewarded. Children’s opinions deserve to become part of the teaching equation. Together, you, your child and I will find the best possible way to help them learn.
I chose to receive a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts, so I could study many different fields, rather than focus on only one. I was thrilled with reading and literature courses; history; fine arts; sociology and humanities. I have always had a love of reading and I was happy to share the joy of reading when I volunteered my time to help struggling and early readers in ... read more

I love to teach children of all ages, especially when they are eager to learn. I am always excited when I see the success children achieve. I have never met a student that couldn't learn. I always bond with my students and really care about them. I believe my success is seeing them succeed. Each student is a fresh experience and sometime a wonderful challenge.
I first began tutoring reading and writing in 1996 and continue. I wanted to become an English teacher but couldn't finish college because my parents could not afford it. I love to read and also to read to others. Teaching has always been my passion. I would like to do it more.

As a college student, I held a tutoring position on campus in the remedial learning lab, assisting college students with basic math,reading and language skills. I worked a halftime schedule there for 5 years and by my 4th and 5th years, I was teaching classes, in addition to tutoring privately and in small groups in the lab. This is work I thoroughly enjoyed. In my working career in healthcare, I again found myself in a teaching, tutoring mentoring role. As a supervisor on a staff of 10 - 15, I was responsible for providing initial and ongoing training for staff, typically chair side style, one on one training.
I enjoy working with students who need to improve their reading and writing skills and basic mathematics skill, and need help building their skills. I believe anyone can learn anything they want, and that with the right help, motivation and encouragement, can achieve their e ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with youth and take pride in assisting them with confidence building as well as real life applications for learning and adjusting. I realize and understand there are different learning styles and try to apply the best teaching style for the maximum benefit of the person I am assisting. My teaching pattern would be to explain the issue or subject, show the person I am assisting or tutoring how to complete it, have the person explain back to me how to complete the problem and finally to have them complete the problem alone. My goal is not only to have the youth complete the assignment but to learn how to complete the assignment alone and finally to apply it to real life application.
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science with a minor in Accounting. I graduated from the University of Houston with a 3.8 G.P.A. in my major. I have learned to apply ... read more

When I was a student teacher, the "fault" my teaching supervisor found in me was that of doing "too much individiuaized and small group teaching" in my combined classroom of 1st and 2nd graders. He didn't think I could keep it up but I did and with good results. Helping a student to "make the connection", to "get it", to accomplish what he needs educationally is so important because sucess leads to more sucess. The teacher/tutor must understand the materials, the goals, and the context in which the student learns as well as his individual learning style. As a tutor I hope to patiently utilize all that I know so that the student progresses as desired and experiences greater enjoyment in learning on the way.

Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/solution/answers. If session doesn't find a promising beginning, start from a base and progress with them. Interaction prevents or indicates "going too fast" or overwhelming them--"the eyes" are engaged or indicate "shut-down". Making the math or education "mean something" provides a reason for learning or further developing the concepts. Encouragement and sincere compliments are very important. Sharing your own struggles or an "ah-huh" moment helps ease the role differences toward a comfortable, encouraging, learning relationship.

The cliche saying of "practice makes perfect" does not stray too far from the core of my teaching philosophy, however I do differ on a key point. I believe that practicing anything (whether or not it relates to academics) can only be done successfully if certain foundational skills are present; just ... read more
