Writing is one of my top subjects! Elementary and secondary

In my experience, successful students are the ones who embrace learning with a multitude of strategies to choose from. I have always been a visual learner and theatre arts performer, so I tend to gravitate toward strategies that have roots through visual learning and teamwork which allows the students to learn by creating and practicing with others. I have amassed a great deal of knowledge through continuing education and real-world teaching experience. It has allowed me to perfect the way I deliver instruction to students by utilizing a variety of teaching strategies, tailoring my approaches to deliver the best outcome for my students. My students journal, create thinking maps, and use improve and role play in a variety of situations. Most importantly, I encourage dialogue among students and teacher allowing students to teach and learn from each other. The later allows the stude ... read more

I'm looking forward to working with you to achieve goals!

I tend to talk casually with the student and try to understand goals before delving into the material. The relationship is important to me.
My experience is mainly with writing and reading comprehension, but I do have a Bachelor's in Economics. I was a tutor for Macro and Microeconomic principles for 1 year and was a Teacher's Assistant for an advanced Rhetoric and Composition class for 3 years. I have completed my Bachelor's with a 3.7 GPA while keeping a job. Additionally, I recently got into UCLA's MFA film program.

More About This Tutor...

Due to my background in early childhood, I teach using hands-on manipulative based strategies.
Before I began my professional teaching career, I worked for the Read Across America program helping young learners gain an appreciation for reading. I mentored elementary students who were labeled at risk due to low performance in reading. In 2001, I began teaching pre-k in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In 2005, I relocated to Houston and began teaching kindergarten in Ft. Bend ISD. I taught 4th grade Math and Science for 2 years. Currently, I work as a 2nd grade ESL inclusion teacher. I have experience teaching students identified under the special education umbrella- autistic, asperger's Syndrome, and various developmental delays. I have successfully tutored students with ADD, ADHD, and other conditions that make it difficult for them to be 100% successful with classroom instruction o ... read more

Let me Guide Your Child

I prefer that the student understands the purpose behind learning. In order to achieve my goal, I spend quality time in talking and developing an effective communication platform. I avoid doing rote learning. Therefore I make the worksheets and lesson plan as application based as I can. Some techniques and strategies are also employed on occasions.
Having taught for more than five years as a certified teacher, I feel that I have what it takes to be an educator. Understanding the psyche of the student is of prime significance to me, which helps me in directing the teaching strategies and techniques. In order to let the student realize the significance of learning, I try to design a curriculum that is application based.

Writing is one of my top subjects!

I studied English Literature at the University of Houston, with an emphasis on Gender Studies & Literary Theory for several decades as I raised my two sons. I was twice awarded the Gentile Scholarship for upper division literature majors. As an undergraduate, I was allowed to participate in several graduate seminars, including Modern Literary Theory & Feminist Theory.
A classroom is a collaborative effort.

My comments on tutoring Writing : Degree in History with associated reading, writing, composition skills

Socratic method and exploring a student's learning strengths/differentiation
I have been a member of the work force for over 45 years. I received my high school diploma from Strake Jesuit College Preparatory in 1970, and my BA Cum Laud in History from the University of St. Thomas in 2002. In addition, I have been trained and state tested in Social Study education at Houston Community College.

I have over three years of professional writing experience. After graduating from the University of Texas at Dallas with my degree in Creative Writing I went on to serve as the President of the Houston Writers Guild for a full year and now serve on the Board of Directors at the Gulf Coast Federation of Writers. I have performed Freelance Editing since my graduation and led numerous Critique Circles for each organization I’ve worked with, learning to balance criticism with encouragement for optimal improvement.
I am a very hands on teacher and my preferred method is to have the student read their work aloud while I follow along and edit. It's remarkable how much they begin to catch on their own. This is followed through with my own take on their work, pointing out the errors they missed and suggesting improvements, always in an encouraging manner.

More About This Tutor...

I think it takes a lot for one teacher to reach all of types of students who are all at different levels of interest in the subject being taught as well as at different levels of understanding. However, I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to give them all equal opportunity to learn. It is not just about grades and assignments, that is just the means to an end, but it is about learning. In order for the students to learn, the teacher needs to be passionate about the students as well as the subject that is being taught. That will instill in the students a desire to learn and understand.
In having a science background, I have not only learned laboratory skills and reasoning skills, but I have learned how to increase efficiency, communicate in a clear manner, and write in a way that is direct and clear. I enjoy learning, and I instill that passion into my students as best I ... read more

I believe that positive reinforcement is the most effective way to motivate a student to learn. Each child must learn to identify his or her strengths and use those strengths to solve problems. I believe guided practice is necessary to establish support for students as they are learning until they ultimately can perform tasks independently. I am very clear and thorough with my students and I have high expectations that each child will succeed.
As an elementary school teacher, I have experience teaching children to read. For 3 years I worked in schools as a reading professional with children whose reading skills were below grade level. I have also worked as a private tutor in math and reading. I have extensive knowledge of teaching phonics, using appropriate reading material to establish reading fluency, and helping children achieve mastery of critical reading skills.

At LSU and throughout my years of teaching, I was provided with numerous opportunities to work with children in many different educational settings.  Not only have I been exposed to different grade levels but I have also taught gifted as well as special education students.  Working with these children allowed me to understand the whole child and taught me the importance of individual needs of each student in an educational setting, regardless of placement
I believe that I can offer a motivational, technological, organized teacher with the goal of enriching young minds to be well educated and well rounded students. My focus will not only be on my students' educational needs but also on their self development fostering their individual growth. I am a firm believer that all children can learn when provided with the toolls necessary and an enriching environment. I pride myself in letti ... read more

Teaching is all about making sure that one imparts the correct piece of information and knowledge in a way as to indoctrinate it into the minds of students, so that they enjoy what they learn and consequently remember all that they have learned. I have taught subjects like Accounting, Operations Research and the German Language to students of upto the level of CPA. I am well-versed with how to tackle them and most importantly, to make sure they learn correctly and fully, what is being taught. With most of my educational achievements in the field of finance and a solid corporate and teaching experience of 3-4 years, I can take on to comfortably explain and teach all subjects pertaining to finance and commerce.
