Shakespeare Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in San Miguel, NM

Enjoyed and am well-versed in Shakespeare's later works. Have extensively researched alternative methods of teaching Shakespeare in order to make his works more relevant and engaging for today's students. Over the last 7 years I have been either working with youth or working to make myself a stronger reader, writer, and teacher. My experience includes two years of work as a nanny, during which I was responsible for scheduling activities, providing sound moral guidance, and tutoring my charge in all of her school subjects. While attending Kutztown University in pursuit of an Education degree I took every opportunity to work with high school students. At I-LEAD Charter School in Reading, Pennsylvania, I worked one-on-one with a reading specialist to help struggling readers improve their basic literacy skills. As well, I took an on-campus job tutoring my peers in many different English-rela

I have a degree in English and American Literature with a minor in Humanities. I was working toward my teaching certification before my husband got stationed in New York. I passed the tests to be highly qualified to teach 4-12 English Language Arts and Reading, as well as 4-8 Social Studies. I was a permanent substitute teacher and on my way to having my own classroom before we moved.

I'm a very visual and verbal person. I like to explain things by writing/drawing them out, saying them out loud and creating analogies between things to help students better understand a concept. I believe the comparison between a concept and something the student can relate to allows for the student to comprehend what is being taught. I'm currently a high school tutor for the Socorro Independent School District. I currently tutor English 1-4 and social studies, economics and government. I'm very proficient in my job and do my best to make sure my students understand the concepts. Although I'm "fresh out of high school" I'm very advanced for my age, and currently a sophomore at the University of Texas at El Paso. I've been tutoring now for one academic year here at SISD.

I have earned a bachelor’s and a master’s in English from New Mexico State University, which enabled me to increase my knowledge of grammar and rhetoric. While pursuing my degree I worked as a substitute teacher for the Las Cruces School District during the 2005-2006 school year. During this time I taught a variety of subjects for grades 6-12 and learned from various teachers how to best interact with students. I also have experience editing professional publications for appropriate grammar use as well as a probationary teacher’s license for the state of Texas through Teachers for the 21st Century. During my time as a substitute teacher I encountered students with different types of learning abilities. This makes it challenging to teach concepts to the students since each student learns differently. While earning my probationary teacher’s license in Teachers for the 21st Century I learne

My teaching style is to make learning fun. I like to bring materials to the lesson that match a student's interest and still build necessary skills. My middle school students became experts at poetry and grammar with daily competitions. Practice is imperative to learning, is my theory, and the key to the success I've had with students. After receiving my BS I taught high school English for nine years in Vermont and Massachusetts. I earned my MED in 1985 and served as an administrator at both the high school and elementary school levels. I've taught emotionally disturbed children and middle school ESL students in Santa Fe. Most recently I have been tutoring elementary students in language arts and math. For the past five years I've also tutored language arts and math to 1st grade through middle school students after school.

I have tutored friend's children over the course of several years. I have taught religious studies for over 15 years to youth ages 14. I have worked extensively with children in my various lines of work in the mental health field and foster care. I love teaching and working with children and appreciate that no two children are the same nor do they learn the same way. I'm a strong believer that it's important to teach a child in a manner he/she is comfortable with, whether they pick up a concept quickly or need time. I hold a degree in Organization & Corporate Communication with a minor in English, Rhetoric/Writing Studies and 14 years experience in public relations throughout my various jobs. Grammar, writing, composition writing, essays, grant writing, are all skills that I excel in. More importantly than any of that is that I enjoy writing and and enjoy reading books on grammar.

I have good analytical and diagnostic skills. I am able to take students at their present levels of cognitive ability and help them to progress and also reinforce concepts that the students might have missed and need to master for complete understanding. I am patient and encourage students to ask questions and offer suggestions. I firmly believe that teaching basic skills and study habits will create successful lifelong learners. I have always loved teaching. I never had a desire to divert from teaching and become a counselor or an administrator. I have taught students from kindergarten to community college. I do not have a certification in math but I have taught k-8 math in special education classes and in mainstream classes through inclusion. I am familiar with many hands-on techniques and with drawing and writing explanations of the operation that was practiced. I have taught m

I love working with students of all ages. I am a very patient person. I believe in providing the best education possible to every student no matter what kind of disabilities that they may have. I look forward to helping as many students as possible. I have been working at Socorro High School as a class with in a class history teacher for the past two years. My first year at Socorro I also had one English class that I taught. I will be going back to schoo to finish my other Bs in Social Psychology. I have been tutoring my students on a weekly basis as needed, for lack of understanding of materials covered in class or even for making up work that they may have missed.

My teaching style is very flexible. Because I have worked with children, teenagers, and adults, the ability to adapt to the learner's ability level is especially important. Not all people learn at the exact pact, therefore, flexibility is essential as well as non traditional teaching methods. Some non traditional teaching methods I have applied include interpreting math problems through real life situations. I find that some kids will relate to NBA references while others prefer food examples. Either way, it keeps the child interested which is the key role of a good tutor. Although I listed only 2 years of prior instruction, I have taught over 5 years of business/finance related material. On a school level basis, I personally have a child with ADHD that I tutor at home. I am especially proficient in English/Language Arts. My research and writing skills are exceptionally keen due to the n

My experience working with a diverse student community has enabled me to experience multiple learning capacities along with the added privilege of experiencing different cultures. I graduated with a double major in political science and philosophy and later completed my masters degree in political science. I currently teach government courses at a local community college. Some of my proudest accomplishments have been away from teaching government such as teaching ESL, GED, and computer applications. Currently, I estimate I have graduated approximately 265 students in GED programs. In addition, I have contracted in public schools to tutor students in academic subjects such as reading, spelling, and grammar. Teaching on a one-to-one basis is the most personal and rewarding experience that a teacher may have. Part of the reason for this dynamic between the teacher and the student is b

I believe that teaching is about relationships. If I can cultivate a trust between myself and a student, it creates the right foundation for success. By being real and honest with students and encouraging them to be themselves, I clear the pathway for the best learning to happen. I tap into the prior knowledge of the student, find a confident, secure starting place for them, and then introduce new ways of thinking. Through student-centered methods, I create ways for them to discover and build on the concepts. This builds a cycle of confidence and a love of learning- to motivate the student toward grade-level accomplishments and beyond. I received a BA degree in Liberal Studies and a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from California State Univ, Chico. My experiences have prepared me well to meet the tutoring needs of each individual student. I have tutored privately since 1999, working

I have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Multidisciplinary studies focusing on English as well as Communication. I am in the process of gaining my certification in Special Education and English while going to school to gain my Masters Degree in Special Education with a focus in Learning Disabilities. I have completed nine hours of Masters classes and have maintained an A average. I have also finished my internship with a kindergarten autistic class giving me hands on experience with general and special education classes. I am currently a High School English teacher for 10th and 11th graders and offer them extensive tutoring and instruction. I believe that every child has the ability to be a great student, each child just goes about learning in a different manner. I am a very patient person and I strongly believe that children need patience and understanding when in the educational setting.

I'm not going to lie; I hated school when I was younger. Some people might think this a drawback when hiring someone as a tutor, but I think it has made me more sympathetic to students who struggle, who don't enjoy school and who need someone to give them a reason to excel. I also can inspire students who are modivated and open up new worlds to them and make learning fun. I love reading and writing, history and theatre, art and science and everything else in between. The world is open and bright for everyone, especially those who wish to learn. I've worked numerous jobs, none of which were fulfilling except the ones where I worked with children, particularly students who were troubled or had learning disabilities. I was a theatre major in college, so you might be quick to think I was a flake or someone who just coasted by through college, but I graduated with a 3.7 GPA, receiving so
