Shakespeare Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Punxsutawney, PA

I love working with children. I believe that children tend to learn best through repetition and making the experience fun. I like to work with flashcards and other such methods. If you take the time with a child they will eventually pick up on what you are trying to teach them. However, there are methods such as acronyms that can be used as well. COURSES TAKEN ? Biology ? Environmental Science ? Water Science ? Geography ? Geology ? Global Science ? History of Native Americans ? English ? Composition ? College Writing ? Honors World History ? Environmental Geography ? World Regional Geography

Throughout my life, I have always found comfort in teaching children. When it comes to learning, their appetites are insatiable, but often we come to road blocks as to how children are to be taught. They all have different personalities, how can they learn absolutely the same? You will find me an extremely adaptive, grounded, and patient individual, as all of those thing are needed for success. Oh, I'm pretty nice, too. I am very good with languages, as I feel it is important to be able to communicate in as many ways as possible. I strive for the excellence that I believe exists in all students. Throughout my career, I have always worked well with others and value the importance of working as a collective toward the task at hand. Effective communication is crucial to success. Understanding this, I have taken it upon myself to become fluent in two languages, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish

I have been working with preschool to high school age students since 2004. I have always had tutoring positions, whether it was for my peers in college, volunteering for the Salvation Army, or running after school programs after graduating. I am a PA certified tutor, with conflict resolution, mentor, and CERT training (Community Emergency Rescue Team). It is important to me to have a profession where I feel that I am helping other people to progress in their lives. I genuinely care about the well being of each person I come into contact to and want to help in any way I can to make life easier, and more fulfilling for all of us. I have experience teaching many types of students. I worked one-on-one, daily, with an autistic student during my last position, so I understand that not every student learns in the same way. I think it works well to give shorter lessons to a small group, and then

When I work with others on writing papers, I always make sure to tell them why I suggest the changes I do. Making sure that they understand why I suggest a change is important. Reinforcing those rules while also pointing to an example on their own work always helps to show the students how to improve their own writing. I believe that showing them rather than telling them is a productive strategy to teaching composition and reinforcing the etiquette involved in essay writing. Pointing out these areas of improvement to the student on a one-on-one basis allows the student to learn and implement changes in the future. During college, I spent many hours perfecting papers by revising, editing, and proofreading. This helped me to master the art of english composition and essay writing. By studying writing, I have learned creative and technical tactics to add to my style of writing. Unde

I believe that every student can choose where he/she wants to go, as long as they are given the tools to acheive these ambitions. I have a heart for children and love watching their minds embrace new ideas and concepts. If I provide the patience, experience, motivation and materials, I hope that every student I have guided (or will guide) will go on to do great things. Working in a French public school taught me more patience than I thought I had. But in doing so, I am now prepared to deal with all types of children. If you show me even the slightest interest in learning, I'll coach you all the way! Let's learn together! I hold a degree in Political Science, but I concentrated in international relations with a fascination for other cultures and languages. Having lived in both England and France, I have been forced to adapt to new ways of thinking, speaking, writing and eventually

I prefer to begin by having the student describe the current subject matter to the best of his/her abilities to determine a starting point. I have found that having the student talk through the subject matter can be useful in determining his/her strengths and level of understanding. I like to have the student work through some problems they have not been assigned from their book/notes so that they are able to practice and work through some other problems before attempting any assignments. I have also found that it is useful to go over any previous quizzes or tests related to the current subject matter as difficulties are sometimes related to previous work because with these subjects the work tends to build upon itself. I have been selected as a peer tutor through Carlow University for Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics.

I feel as if I have been preparing for this role my entire life. While still in high school, I became a peer tutor for grades K-12. I continued tutoring while attending Saint Vincent College, where I volunteered as a teacher for the Step-Up Program - I taught a literature class for home and cyber school students. For the past year, I've been a substitute teacher in many local school districts and have also completed some one-on-one tutoring in secondary level History and English. My broad range of teaching and tutoring experience has allowed me to acquire an array of techniques and information, including extensive grammatical and researching skills. I have always enjoyed working with children. My current position as a substitute teacher and tutor has allowed me to work with many different children and experience how to teach in different settings. Each child learns differently, and as a
