Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Roslyn, WA

In high school I took Calculus, honors Geology, honors Chemistry, and honors English. I have three siblings that I help out with homework, as well as have tutored my fellow classmates in high school, so I can adapt to any learning style. I am currently going to Central Washington University. I am pursuing a degree in Communication studies with a double minor in Sociology and Spanish. I am not completely fluent in Spanish, but I am very proficient in reading, writing, and speaking. Varies from person to person.

I have earned three college degrees, a BA in Urban and Regional Planning,a BA in English Literature and a MA in Natural Resource Sciences. I also have over 25 years of experience as a Senior Planner and as a Planning Director, positions that required me to train and educate a staff of people. I have worked with various government officials and communities in developing schools, community centers, early childhood education centers and numerous other community facilities. I was responsible for writing grant applications which trained me in the art of writing compelling applications that were grammatically correct. I have tutored students in writing and English. I have six children of my own and 13 grandchildren. I have always loved children and I have a special connection with kids of all ages. I am very laid back and enjoy interacting with kids. I believe all children can be successful

I love to see students grasp a new concept and revisit their work with greater pride and confidence as a result. Realizing we all learn in differing rates and manners, I find great satisfaction in teaching in several ways at the same time (e.g., varying visual and auditory cues, telling stories and providing mnemonic devices). Having worked with issues such as ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia, I recognize and address learning challenges with patience, courtesy, respect -- and optimism. I believe that every successful experience with schoolwork, no matter how small, builds toward a cumulative good outcome for students at every level, and that the right tools exist for each of us to succeed in ways best suited to our unique character. As a high school honors student, I majored in English and achieved the highest score possible (five -- 5) on the English Exam. In College, I pursued my intere

As a double major in Economics and Sociology I gained extensive experience with both mathematics as well as writing and oral presentations. In my final semester I enrolled in two graduate level classes and despite the difficulty of my class schedule worked even harder to achieve a 4.0 GPA for that semester. The combination of Economics and Sociology has provided a unique opportunity for me to develop my ability to understand complicated mathematical theories and equations and explain them in both written and oral forms. Although, I have not formally tutored, I participated in numerous study groups and have informally tutored friends. In addition I was a CPR teacher for two years. I enjoy teaching children and adults of all ages, although most of my experience has come from teaching college age kids. I believe that everyone learns in different ways and one aspect of teaching I enjoy the m

As an undergraduate student at Central Washington University, I was self motivated and involved in various activities. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in Sociology and BA in Law and Justice. In addition to these two broad areas of studies, I am a McNair Scholars recipient and conducted graduate level research. I have mentored and advised students as an employee in student affairs and as a Teacher's Assistant in the Law and Justice Department. During the last 5 years I have tutored students in Sociology, psychology, philosophy and basic grammar skills. I enjoy teaching all age groups. I especially like working with High School students.Initially, they can be quite a challenge to work with, but once they are engaged they are fully immersed in the topic! I like to be creative and interactive! I was a difficult High School student so I can relate to many that get bored with some topic

I enjoy finding the teaching style that works best for each individual learner. Learning is a collaborative effort, and all individuals do not learn alike. I am patient with frustration, calm under pressure, and am able to create a positive learning experience especially for those who have experienced frustration or failure in the past. I returned to college in my mid-40s to complete a Bachelor's degree, majoring in Biology, minoring in Chemistry and Pre-professional Studies. This enabled me to attain competent understanding of not only the hard science classes, but also to experience writing and presentation skills at the professional level. As a current Biology master's student, I continue to hone those skills as well as pass them on to others. I have many years experience mentoring college students with Biology, Chemistry, and Reading/Writing/Presentation skills. In addition, I home-s

It is important for a teacher to be able to mold their instruction to fit different individuals. It is this student diversity that makes tutoring such a valuable practice at the secondary level. No two students learn in the same way or at the same speed. I value being able to focus on one student at time so that I can discover how to best facilitate the transfer of knowledge and help that student to 'learn how to learn' by applying individualized learning techniques. Often, I can best begin to reach the student by identifying their personal interest, and using these interests as themes for homework examples. Being able to apply their lessons to their own lives is an essential learning tool. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BM in Music and BA in English. Having a high level of ambition and love for learning, I chose to continue on to obtain my Masters in Literature. To this I have adde

I have a BA in History with a minor in Archaeology, and am a member of two honor societies. As a history major, my fields of expertise include research, critical analysis, and writing. From 2006 to 2009, I tutored writing in all subjects at a local community college. As a tutor, I believe it is my job to facilitate the individual thinking processes and strengths of each student. I am patient, attentive to students' concerns, and comfortable with many different learning styles. I do not lecture, but prefer to ask questions that will allow the students not only to master the material at hand but to apply what they have learned to future problems.

My teaching experiences include college faculty member and home school teacher for my four children. They graduated from the Independent Study High School University of Nebraska, participated in Running Start and are all college graduates. I was also a 4-H leader for over twenty years and instructed many youth. As a community organizer, I developed public education and outreach programs. This involved teaching and mentoring people of all ages, pre-school through senior citizens. Currently, I am a school nurse for a middle school where I work to assess barriers to student learning. As a teacher, I work to build my students’ self-confidence through positive interactions and effective problem-solving. I believe that every person has the capacity to learn. I consistently adapt my teaching to the needs of the student and look for creative ways to help the student to understand. I reco

In June of 2009, I attained my Master of Science degree in exercise science from Central Washington University. Throughout my collegiate career, I have had many opportunities to use varying levels of math and science skills. In addition, for my Master's degree, I was required to write and publish a thesis and therefore, have experience using proper grammatical skills. I am extremely passionate about learning and would like very much to pass my enthusiasm on to others. This is why I do plan to return to graduate school to pursue a PhD in education. It is my belief that children of all levels and backgrounds have the ability to learn and should be given that chance. I also believe that children learn in different ways and that it is important to help the child discover which way of learning benefits him or her the most. I am a patient and caring individual who would like the chance to help

I love teaching and love my job. I believe that each child has the will to succeed and it is my job to help him or her to do so. I look at his or her strengths and use those to develop the areas that the child needs the most instruction in. I am positive and patient with my students. I believe that education is my calling and that it is my purpose in life to do the best that I am able to in order to help all students achieve their desired goals. As a teacher of the deaf, my students unique needs are always at the forefront of my teaching. I look at each student as an individual and want to develop their strengths as well as work on their weaknesses. I work primarily on Reading, Language and Vocabulary development, as well as conceptual development in relation to Math and Science. 1984-1985 - Teacher of the Deaf in Lewisiton, ID - K-12 1985-1990 - Sped Resource Room teacher/Deaf

I enjoy working with children! I am patient and kind. I also have high standards and believe that everyone can reach their own potential. I celebrate the little sucesses! Part of my previous job entailed "independent work" from the students for about 2 1/2 hours each day. During this time I would work one on one with each student. This was a good challenge because everyone was working on a different level! It was exciting. I graduated from Arizona State University with a Liberal Arts degree. This enabled me to work at JCPenney, working my way up the ladder. I ended that career as a Department Manager/Merchandiser supervising up to 25 people. I continued my education at Eastern Washington University earning a teaching credential and did my student teaching in the 2nd grade. Since then I was a substitute teacher; taking on any task, then eventually working in my own classroom teaching 3-6

If students lack motivation or direction, it’s often because they are trying to perform an advanced task without basic skills. For example, many students know about the “five-paragraph essay” format, but don’t know how to organize the individual sentences. The first part of my philosophy focuses on providing students with these basic skills, as doing so prepares and makes them eager to face their assignments. The second part of my philosophy involves research. When students don’t know something, I’ve found that they will be quick to give up without considering the resources available. By showing students how to teach themselves, I let them know that they do have the opportunity and ability to succeed if they put in the effort. I first tutored for two years during high school when a family friend asked me to help him teach kids chess at four elementary schools. I thoroughly enjoyed these
