I've tutored siblings of mine when they were struggling with a subject in school. Through my tutoring, their respective grades improved. I excel at writing and reading, math, and some social sciences. I'm patient, making sure that you understand a section before moving on. I relate the material to something that makes it easy to understand.

Composition is one of my top subjects! In teaching composition writing students need to understand and demonstrate learned concept on different areas of written expression such as: Informative, Persuasive, Narrative, Creative, or Personal composition. Elements of ideal composition writing should be reflected on student's written expression work such as: 1. Conventions which include: Grammar, spelling, punctuations, and capitalization. 2. Composition format which includes: indentation, beginning statement, body of text using sensory details (sight, hearing, smell, and feeling) and key details, and concluding or ending statement. 3. A composition should focus on topic of discussion and should not include unrelated facts or opinions. Students are able to learn written expression skills by implementing effective teaching strategies such as: 1. Modeling how to write a specific composition 2. Providing helpful word list 3. Working together in developing a composition 4. Frequent checking for understanding

I started teaching right after my college graduation from Philippine Normal University. I taught ESL (English as A Second Language in public schools from 1968 - 1985. From 1985 - 1991 I taught at the United States Refugee Program. On October 1991 I was sent by the US Refugee Program to University of Omaha, Nebraska as a guest lecturer on ESL. Then I worked as a tutor in English Business for foreign professionals in Connecticut from December 1991 - 1995.

I am an experienced, caring tutor.

I have over 10 years of experience tutoring. I have tutored elementary to college students and even taught basic reading through Sylvan's Ace-It tutoring. I have extensive experience working one-on-one and also in groups. I was a Supplemental Instruction Leader all through my college years which allowed me to work with groups and instructors, creating sample tests and quizzes, and helping individuals with different learning styles. I have assisted others with learning Spanish, even when English was not the first language, and helped high school up to college students.
My teaching style is adaptable to the student.

My comments on tutoring Composition : Composition writing emphasizes that great writing is not achieved in a single moment or activity, but through a process of activities involving multiple writing sessions and student reflection. The process, as well as what is composed, is important. Students learn from feedback they receive on their work at different points in the writing process and learn to make improvements on their own.

I have been teaching for over ten years. It is not just a job, it is my passion. I love going into my classroom everyday and learning with my students. Together, we conquer the day in our curricular subjects, but also in our social environments all with a growth mindset and determinations. Do we make mistakes along the way? Yes, of course we do, but those are celebrated as learning opportunities, things that we can grow from. Learning and growing together makes every day exciting and fun! 1
I believe that each student learns differently, and that we need to target those learning styles and use them in ways that can help one another.

College student looking to pursue growth in you and herself

My teaching style all depends on the subject and the student. Everyone learns differently. Unfortunately, the public school system seems to disagree with that. I begin by assessing the type of learner you are and from there I pick my teaching style.
I have experience in and outside of the classroom in all of the fields I listed. From a 4.0 G.P.A to sales office growth I have learned a lot and am eager to share my experience in order to help others. English is and will always be my favorite subject. I have done speech writing and presenting to essay competitions. God blessed me with a way with words and I have used it to excel in many areas of my life.

Your Child's Best Interest.

I have student taught since my senior year in high school as a credit. I have tutored family members and coworkers. I am currently a third year student at Glendale Community College (GCC) and my major is Secondary Education in English. I student taught Senior English last semester and this experience has proved that this is the place that I want to be. I plan on going to ASU in the Fall of 2019 to continue my education.
I want your child to be able to feel comfortable to ask questions. A lot of students are scared to look "less than" in front of their peers if they ask questions. English and Literature are subjects meant to be questioned and not just read. I believe that your child has every capability to learn and my job is to help them turn on the light bulb to help them see that reading and writing aren't as hard as they seem to be.

More About This Tutor...

I have a passion for education. I believe that children can learn without even knowing it! Children love to play games and I make teaching like a game for them, so they have a great time and they are learning. There is substantial information that suggests that children retain knowledge if they thoroughly understand it and if they are having fun learning it. I haven't met to many children that don't remember rules and the directions of how to play boardgames especially if they have a blast playing it! I know that every child wants to learn and I will strive to make sure that each and every child will have the opportunity to learn at their fullest potential.
As a Graduate student in Special Education, I have learned that there are many different ways to approach the English language. I have extensive experience in writing papers and the rules of the English language. I proof read m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I usually tutor one on one and in small groups. I work with a variety of students, grades k-8, some who have learning disabilities, some who have physical disabilities, and others who are academically behind. In all cases, I believe in positive reinforcement and keeping my students motivated and excited to learn. I also believe in building confidence in my students because wanting to learn is the first step towards a life of successful learning and growth. I am an effective teacher, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching the students and observing their progress.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began tutoring in elementary school. I tutored students in grades below mine in reading, spelling, grammar, math, and science. I continued tutoring fellow students in high school, as well as teaching children as a church volunteer. After studying the administration of justice and evidence technology at Phoenix College, I finished my BS at University of Phoenix. While earning my degree, I used the knowlege and skills I have gained to help struggling students succeed as well.
I would describe my teaching style as straight-forward, but constructive and rewarding. I believe patience is important and that small successes lead to larger ones. I understand that each student has different needs and learning styles vary, therefore I work to tailor my methods to the individual student while keeping the information plain to reduce confusion. I believe that teaching is about supportin ... read more
