Patient. Positive.Encouraging. Keeping it light. My primary aim would be to build the student's self confidence and image. Encouraging enthusiasm for the subject matter,by making it more receptive,would be an additional desired outcome. I would place special emphasize on promoting the need to read,write,and speak well, regardless of the subject. Teaching critical thinking would also be a goal. An instructor can't really teach a student. But the pupil can be given learning support and the tutor can plant the desire to pursue the individual's own education at their own pace, by providin ... read more

Reading is one of my top subjects! Orton-Gillingham (all ages)

I am an Orton-Gillingham certified and Barton Advanced certified dyslexia specialist with over a decade of experience working with children and adults who have dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD. I also know Lindamood-Bell(r) and several other programs. I provide assessment/screening for learning challenges, and recommend programs/approaches that will be successful for that student, homeschool support, and referrals to other tutors as needed.
I work on fostering independence and I am understanding and compassionate. I also like to play games and encourage my students to have fun while learning! As someone with a learning disability and anxiety myself, I understand kids who have these struggles.

Social Studies and Creative Writing (English)

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 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'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

My teaching style is more informal, and focuses on personalized attention. Typically I will teach individuals or small groups.
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 comments on tutoring Reading : Help pronoune English language typical to originality.

Motivating students to practically reflect their interest in learning.
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.

Reading is one of my top subjects! Have excellent reading skills.

Have not taught before, but I have excellent skills. Am an avid reader. Reading skills enable readers to turn writing into meaning and achieve the goals of independence, comprehension, and fluency. Reading skills are specific abilities which enable a reader to read the written form as meaningful language to read anything written with independence, comprehension and fluency, and to mentally interact with the message.
Relaxed.

A true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination

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.
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.
