Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects! As a Special Education Assistant, I strive to model a positive attitude, get a feel where each individual is academically, use certain strategies, such as asking certain kinds questions before reading to get each student actively involved in the process. This will not only help them to retain what they have read, but also, build their confidence in learning.

For the past 17 years I have had the pleasure working with K-3rd graders as a Volunteer Tutor, a Special Education Assistant in the Minneapolis, MN Public Schools, and a Supervisor/Teacher of a great organization that helps support mother's in the evenings, while helping to support their children, emotionally,socially and academically. I am also a Christian Education Teacher, to both women and children and I am still a volunteer. Overall, It has been very rewarding to teach over these years, learning insightful tips of different learning styles and techniques.
I am capable of inspiring learning in children, and intuitively know how to redirect, de-escalate behaviors to achieve a healthy and safe environment. My desire is to foster a positive , calm and creative learning environment for students, allowing each one to draw upon their own skills and motivation to learn. I believe m ... read more

Social Studies and Creative Writing (English)

I am currently a Sociology student at Augsburg College. I am also pursuing a minor in Psychology. This year will be my last, so I will graduate in 2014. Also, I have taken several creative writing courses at the Loft Literary center, as well as at my College. I received a 4.0 in my courses. Also, in high school, I was always a level above in all English and composition classes.
I like to challenge people to think outside of the box. Although I know it is important to know how to take tests and write papers appropriately, I also know that showing skills that go above and beyond, is what makes a student stand out. I will challenge your mind but in a way that will help to see the bigger picture out of the details, and will also help to shape you into a well-rounded, thoughtful individual.

I'll explain it the way you need me to - gchang327@gmail.com

I'm currently a student at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and I've covered many subjects in my 15 years of education. I've learned many of them well enough to teach them to my younger sister, who has ensured I review every subject two years after I complete it, rather than forget it forever. I have also helped many of my classmates understand various concepts as we learned them, which allowed me to improve my own understanding and my ability to explain things in ways that differed from the ways that didn't work coming from teachers.
I specialize in understanding individual challenges and struggles and adapting my teaching and providing clarifying examples. My explanations are thorough and enhanced by my focus on listening to people.

Experienced ESL tutor

I've worked domestically and internationally teaching English to non-native English speakers and editing their papers. I can also edit papers for coherence, for those who have trouble communicating ideas effectively in English. Primarily I've worked with refugees or asylum seekers who need to develop basic English skills for their transition into America.
My teaching style is more informal, and focuses on personalized attention. Typically I will teach individuals or small groups.

My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : Help how to learn answering questions by absorbing the meaning while reading.

I had been teaching English and its basic branches for several decades abroad. During the long periods so many students have had a solid base in understanding English language rules that encouraged them to go forward in getting more proficiency in English language ; either help in building their own career or enrolling to become English teachers ; extended to teach English language, Grammar, Reading and Writing as an ESL Tutor at Learning Centers in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Motivating students to practically reflect their interest in learning.

A true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination

I am very flexible and patient. I believe as a teacher one should act serve a midwife from the student to the understanding of a skill or concept. I want students to learn through instruction and fully integrate that learning through open dialogue and application.
I am an enthusiastic life-long learner and teacher. I've spent my life reading and loving literature. I want to share that skill and joy with as many people as possible. My time at the University of Minnesota was a formative experience, there I learned the essentials of reading great books and articulating critical thinking through written word.
