Following the birth of my third child, I taught at her pre-school and caught the teaching "bug". I then completed a graduate program in Elementary Education, taught for one year in the public school system in Florida and then taught for one year in Alabama. I have the ability to help children struggling in reading to make great strides and as a result, gain the self-confidence to do well in school. I believe in a "hands-on" approach as we all learn better by doing than watching. My goal is for a child to like school, like learning, and know he/she can do anything given a little hard work. I believe a "hands-on" approach is the best way to retain knowledge given all learning styles. If we do it, we will remember it. If learning is considered fun, we want to do it and all subject areas can have an element of fun. Positive reinforcement within a structured environment is my style of

I am still developing a teaching style. However, I know from personal experience that constructing knowledge requires much more than reading a textbook. All learners have unique learning styles that influence learning success. A student’s favored learning style is a valuable resource for a tutor, allowing the student to discover more about the world and themselves while simultaneously developing a joy for learning. I use informal assessments to instruct my instruction, and assist students to monitor their own learning progress. My strongest teaching tools are good listening skills, patience and perseverance, and a desire to find each student’s academic and creative strengths. I am a recent graduate of the University of South Alabama, College of Education. I returned to school to earn a teaching certificate in elementary education so that I might expand my career in environmental sc

I have been teaching freshman composition at the university level for the past 12 years. I have taught all forms of written communication, such as classical argumentation, proposals, creative writing, essays, business writing, rhetoric, responding to emails, memos, etc. Written prose has the power to change lives and learning to write well can mean the difference between mediocrity and excellence. It is also an essential form of communication that is vital to success in today's society. Writing is a skill that is learned; everyone can learn to write well and I can teach you this skill. I look forward to meeting and working with you. I have always enjoyed working with students one-on-one. To teach effectively one must understand what motivates the individual, and the only way to do that is to spend time with that person. If a student is a visual learner, I will use visual aids to illust

I attended Cardiff University where I majored in English studies and Linguistics and have been teaching courses in linguistics, language development and grammar at the college level for 15 years. I currently teach in a speech pathology department and am familiar with communication disorders that lead to literacy and learning problems. I have published widely. I have also mentored and tutored students who are having problems with their writing and literacy skills. I have become interested in tutoring and preparing both high school students, adults returning to education and younger children to gain better skills in English and literacy. I am looking for summer teaching and part-time tutoring during regular semesters. The key to good teaching is adaptability. First and foremost I believe that every individual can learn but we all have different learning styles. Some individuals may learn

My finding principle on learning rest on the works of John Dewey, "want for your students, what you would want for your own child". With that said, I am a person of great patience and consdiration. I recognize that each student learns at a different rate and allow students to explore how best they learn, and given them an opportunity to do so. "Wait time" is the key to success and I give my students that time in and out of classroom. Therefore,I use a variety of learning styles based on my students. However, I prefer the contructivist approach to learning, allowing students to critcally think and apply what they are learning while giving them an opportunity to discuss, revist,and share. For the past 13 years,I have had a great opportunity to shape the lives of many students. The students range from elementary, middle, high and adult learners.I began my journey in the field of education

I have earned a bachelor degree in Middle School Level Education, with focus on English. For the last five years I have taught at the middle school level. Three of those years were spent teaching intensive reading. It is proven that the older the student is the more difficult is to teach him to read. My personal goal is to prevent life-long struggling readers. In my teaching, I have integrated different teaching styles and methods depending on the subject matter. The students that I have taught come from ethnically diverse background. My ultimate goal is to reach the unreachable student.

I love the written word and reaching people, so I ultimately chose to major in journalism. My love for teaching and instructing students led me to pursue my minor in education. In the past three years, I've tutored undergraduates in writing (grammar, composition, etc), graduate students (editing theses), proofing resumes and technical documents, and tutoring elementary and high school students in reading and basic math. College students are difficult to work with because they think they know it all. This was a blessing in disguise because it taught me not only to learn different ways to tutor a student, but also to figure out through body language and little signals as to whether or not they were actually comprehending the information. Teaching is not just giving information and hoping they retain it. My teaching style consists of teaching, asking questions to ensure they know or underst
