A Little Bit About Me...

Student centered and dialogue.
I have taught algebra, geometry, ESL, English Grammar, and Arabic language for over nine years. Most of my teachings have been one-on-one where I use standard textbooks, secondary sources, and additional materials to reinforce classroom/online learning. I provide plenty of time for Q&A session. I use various teaching methods; for the most part, this include student centered learning. I also focus on differentiation learning, where I attempt to cater to each student's learning needs.

Creative Writing | Business Communication Tutor Available

Inspiring students to "let go" and tap into their innate creative talent. I believe that everyone has the ability to write well and creatively, but the "inner critic" acts as an editor (according to Julia Cameron) which prevents people from expressing freely. I teach students how to control the "inner critic" and create from mind to page, and to value the creative process and the act of writing without prejudgment. As a marketing professional I also routinely teach professionals and business owners how to use WordPress and manage seven corporate brand blogs. Students who are serious about becoming a professional writer must learn WordPress, as it is the foremost program used for corporate websites. I am also a WordPress website designer.
For nine years I have been successfully employed as a full time creative writing / ghost writing professional. My work has appeared in The ... read more

Reading, Writing, and More

I have a Bachelors in English Literature w/a certificate in Technical Writing from the University of North Texas. I have put myself through school by working as server part-time. This has given me a great deal of patience. I have experience as an office manager for an apartment locator, and I have tutored my friends through their English courses.
I have no set style of teaching. I try to understand how to benefit the individual by examining their needs. Then, we go from there. Some students need an analytical approach, so the material can best be presented as a formula. Others need a creative approach. It really just depends on the student.

My comments on tutoring Writing : I learned to enjoy writing in college and am quite proficient at teaching writing for different purposes, for example, a persuasive essay. I will always love writing and editing, and particularly enjoy good writing - to the point of underlining well-written sentences in books I read!

I treat children with the same respect and dignity that I treat adults, regardless of their age. I don't use "baby voices," as my goal is to elevate them to their highest academic levels. I've been told I'm a "cool" teacher by students because I treat them "like people, not kids." I use humor whenever appropriate, if that "hooks" a student. I do whatever is necessary to engage the individual personalities of each child and endeavor to make whatever it is I'm teaching them meaningful to their immediate lives.
I have joyfully taught students in grades 1 through 5 in Los Angeles urban schools, and in the suburbs of Plano. I have also been a Literacy Coach, assisting teachers in grades kindergarten through fifth to enhance their teaching skills in reading, writing, vocabulary, phonics, etc. - all areas of literacy. I have worked one-on-one and in small groups with "at-risk" students to ... read more

“To know how to suggest is the art of teaching.”

Learning should be a fun experience for children and adults alike, and while I maintain structure, I also want to make sure that students are enjoying the time that they spend learning with me. I am a patient teacher, and as someone who went through school with ADD, I understand the difficulties many children face in traditional classroom settings.
I have recently graduated and am eager to share my knowledge with others. During my time in school, I became an AP Scholar, Presidential Scholar, 21st Century Scholar, and Honor Graduate. I graduated in the top ten percent of my class and am dedicated to the education of others. I am currently pursuing a degree in education.

This is my second time tutoring and my first time was a great experience. It was stressful a first but after I formed a bond with those I tutored, everything else was simple. In high school, Math as never my strongest subjects, and it still isn't unless its Elementary Math. I had to take ALGEBA 1 three times! Any History subject and Language Arts is my strongest areas. I love History.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am extremely patient and work hard to communicate the concepts that students need to understand to truly achieve their learning objectives. My belief is that a tutor, or any teacher, is a role model not only for understanding the subject at hand, but in the manner in which they work with students, using a tactful, understanding approach at all times. In general, I guide the student, using questions along the way to assess their level of understanding, in addition to exercises and problem-solving related to the subject.
I have a solid education, starting with an engineering degree from the University of Illinois and a Master's of Science from St Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas. During my first two years of college, I excelled academically, allowing me to qualify as a tutor in algebra, calculus and physics for other college students. In addition, I honed my communicatio ... read more

I enjoy working with children and being able to help them grow into well rounded adults. I am very patient and understanding. I realize that each child is special and all children are capable of learning. Each child learns in their own way and teaching not only takes patience, but it also takes creativity. If given the time and creative expression children will find and achieve success. Seeing a child's face light up because they achieve success makes all the time and effort worth it. Children are our future and each child is a star that reflects on us as parents. Anyone who takes a step can make a difference in a child's life. It's the one who leads them by the hand all the way that helps a child achieve full potential.

A Little Bit About Me...

Despite a demanding, accelerated academic schedule, during my three years at a competitive private college I voluntarily tutored underprivileged elementary students. In earning my BA in Sociology/Anthropology I became well versed on understanding people from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds. I also have a strong background in the social sciences including social studies, history and language arts. My college major also required that I write numerous papers and helped me to develop a strong writing style, as well as a keen understanding of grammar. After moving overseas in 2004, I began substitute teaching at an elementary/middle school for two years. The experience I gained there was extensive and I am now comfortable working with children from pre-K through 8th grade, on a variety of levels and topics.
My whole life I have had a love of education. I look fo ... read more
