Composition Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Preston, ID

I am a retired FBI Agent, with both a Bachelor of Science and a Juris Doctorate. As an Agent, I learned to speak fluent Russian and speak it to this day. Since retirement six years ago I have been tutoring and coaching my son, who is handicapped. He is highly intelligent but learns a little bit differently, so I have worked hard with him to teach him to read, learn math and grammar. He cannot write, so everything he learns is by memory. He is an excellent student and works hard. My work in the FBI has given me excellent writing skills, my grammar is next to perfect, and I read several books a week. I tutored many students in the FBI Academy and in Russian school, so I have experience in tutoring adults as well as children. My teaching style depends upon the student I am tutoring. I totally coach the student in a manor which best befits that student. Since no two students are alik

I love teaching because I myself am an avid learner. I have a passion for the subjects I teach and hope that I can instill this same passion in those I teach. I believe that every student can learn the information taught in class, it's more a matter of finding out how each individual student learns. When information is presented in the right way (for each individual), it can make all the difference. What I find most rewarding is when a student begins to grasp the information and is able to apply it and perform well. I enjoy the challenge of teaching to appeal to many learning styles. I am patient, very approachable, and considerate. I strive to see students succeed. As an undergraduate student at Utah State University, I spent two years working as a Undergraduate Teaching Fellow, a Teacher's Assistant, and a Supplemental Instructor. I taught labs and assisted students with understanding

I greatly enjoy working as a tutor. While shy by nature, I have been willing to get up front and teach because I am passionate about helping others learn to become better critical thinkers and writers. My goal as a writing teacher has always been to help my students develop the skills necessary to become confident, competent, and creative writers. In a one-on-one situation, I find that my ability to help is greatly increased and I am always thrilled when my students make gains in understanding and ability. I am friendly, positive, and strive to teach the student rather than tell them what to do. I have always loved to read and write, and my love of the written word is what led me to obtain both my BA and MA in British and American Literature. I had the opportunity to begin teaching at the College level when I was in my Master's program and continued teaching College Writing courses to Fr

I worked with Special Ed kids with reading, writing, and math. I tutored my Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years of high school. I have most of my certifications in the medical field, but i also graduated High school a semester early and with enough credits to be a sophomore in college. I do prefer to work with elementary school kids, but would also work with middle school as well. I have been raised to know education is the most important thing in ones life. If i can help someone be more successful in school and give them the help they need to succeed that would be the ideal job. I love teaching kids. All kids can are different in the way they learn. you need to be able to recognize those kids who are auditory learners, and hands on learners and be able to make a good balance of both so both kids may benefit. I like to set goals for each tutor session weather it be something like learnin

In Florida, I worked as first, a preschool teacher, and then was given the opportunity to teach at the high school level as a Language Arts instructor. I taught both regular and honors courses for the 9th and 10th grade levels. We moved to Colorado in June and since that time, I have been teaching as a substitute for Douglas, Cherry Creek, and Jefferson Counties and am also an adjunct professor in English, teaching the Composition courses. I have intensive background in language arts, literature, and writing, and my strength is teaching writing, as well. Becoming a teacher has been the greatest achievement of my life. I am not only able to teach my own students, but I learn along with them on a daily basis. I vary my style of teaching, which includes assessing all learning types, and try to reach all learners. I incorporate technology and every day items to help my students understand th
