Middle School Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sand Coulee, MT

I love to work with high school and middle school kids. My teaching style is firm in the sense that I will not do work for the student. I am casual in the sense that I prefer a one-on-one atmosphere to learning and a conversational approach to synthesizing ideas. I am concerned for students beyond their grades and truly hope to help kids succeed. I have worked for the last six years on a volunteer, part-time, and full-time basis with a non-profit youth organization called Young Life. During that time I have been intermittently substitute teaching and tutoring with public and private high school and middle school students. I am also a middle school football coach and have served for two seasons at East Middle School in Great Falls, MT. I have a degree in History from montana State University and am currently taking graduate classes part-time. As a history major I have developed skills in

I believe that teaching is all about creating and fostering positive relationships. Many students are not connecting with their classroom teachers and are therefore not motivated or engaged in the classroom. I am flexible and patient as a teacher and I strive to get to know my students, and through that process I learn what motivates them. I am able to present material to students in multiple ways that appeal to various learning styles such as auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. By building a caring relationship and learning how your child learns best, I can help your child succeed. While working on my bachelor's in psychology I taught for 3 years at an after school and summer science enrichment teacher and coordinator. I then decided to take my love of learning further and obtain a master's degree in teaching, therefore earning my elementary education teaching certificate. While working o

All humans are basically learning "computers". We all have the ability to learn everyday. In order to teach someone, a teacher must understand the student as a person and learner. I love to figure out puzzles and to problem solve. Each new student I encounter is a puzzle that I get to figure out. Once I have the information I need to be "IN" with a student I am able to guide them in their investigation of what ever concept they want to learn. I enjoy seeing my students have the "light bulb" go off over their head. I enjoy teaching because I get to effect someone's future for the better. I am an educator that has been credentialed to teach Elementary Education. I have found over the last ten years that I am able to teach students the curriculum that they need as well as teaching the student how to learn. I have come to love math and science and am able to teach these subjects in th

A graduate of the University of Montana School of Journalism, I earned a Double Degree in Journalism and English. I originally received my Montana Secondary Teaching Certificate through UM. I am extremely well-rounded. I've taught all levels of high school English, including American Studies Honors (team teaching with a history teacher), freshman Lit & Comp., Creative Writing, sophomore English, college-bound Senior English. I teach the Writing Process and am a 12-year professional Journalist/Reporter. My most recent teaching experience has been at the No. 1 public school in WA. I also taught Special Education there, and had 12 freshmen students on my case load. I am a big believer in teaching to an individual student's strengths, depending upon their skill sets and passions. That is how I approach teaching students to write, so as to lessen the intimidating aspects of writing. Every stu

I believe that all children learn in different ways and my teaching style is designed to accommodate these differences. I design unique tutoring programs based on the child's strengths and learning style. I am a very patient and easy going person who believes in positive reinforcement. During my service as a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, I taught chemistry and tutored the students in all fields in my spare time. I have extensive grammatical skills and have written numerous papers.
