My comments on tutoring Spelling : My first choice is to use one syllable words to teach spelling and build to two, then three and so forth. With multi-syllable words I teach where a word "breaks" because the tongue cannot articulate all the syllable at once say in a words such as proficient, or establishment.

I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand. It is a pleasure to watch students grow in skill and comprehension and move toward confidence.
I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for subm ... read more

I have a teaching experience of more than 6 years. Teaching is my passion, so dedicate myself completely while teaching. I have an experience of teaching students of various age groups. At present I am teaching Maths in Aloha. While teaching I make it a point that the students have a very clear concept on the subject.
After I make the student understand about the topic, I make it a point to provide them with enough of practice work based on that topic so that they are clear with all the confusions.

A Little Bit About Me...

It has been my experience that each student has his/her individuals needs and that each learns differently. Thus, I make a conscious effort to sit down privately with each of my students so that we can address his/her concerns effectively and put together a constructive plan to improve his/her skill set.
As a tutor with Webster University's student literacy corps, I worked with individuals, pre-K-adult, on reading, literacy, and writing skills. I held this position for two years along with a summer position tutoring Algebra and French with HEC Upward Bound, which service at-risk youth. I found both programs extremely enjoyable and found that all of my students were eager to learn and improve their skill set.

My own style I show a sincere interest in each student, I listen to their needs, aspirations, I tell them what I can do to assist them and I motivate the student to succeed at their own level of competency. My degree in psychology and sociology has been quite helpful through the years.
I am a successful business woman who has taught for the last 15 years. What makes me successful as a teacher or tudor lies in the fact that I bring concrete proof to the student on what they need to learn. I motivate them to getting through on this study. Although students don't typically like math and accounting I tell them this is a means to an end. So to the parents, I choose to teach and tutor, this means I love motivating the student at all ages. I have taught math, economics, sociology, psychology, marketing, economics, social studies, geography, english, literature, music appreciation and eng ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching is in my blood. Nothing thrills me more than the light I see in a student’s eyes as he or she understands a concept for the first time. I enjoy teaching in a small group setting or one on one. I like to set goals and learning objectives based on the individual student’s needs and learning style. I am flexible and patient as I teach. I like to challenge my students to do their best without pressuring them beyond their capabilities. I enjoy investing in the lives of others through teaching.
Majoring in communications in college exposed me to a variety of literature. I took classes in English, script writing, and literature. I also learned about vocal production and public speaking. As I earned a Master of Arts in the dramatic performance field, I taught freshman students a basic speech course for two years. After graduation, I continued onto college faculty and taught for ... read more

I have earned a BSE from Missouri Baptist University in education and hold a valid Missouri Teaching Certificate. My training at Missouri Baptist University has been supplemented with observations, field experiences, and student teaching which I completed at Kingston Elementary, Vineland Elementary, and Athena Elementary. I have also earned two associate degrees; AA in Education from Jefferson College and an AS in Interior Design from Patricia Stevens College. During the last two years I have been a substitute teacher for the Desoto School District and the Affton School District. I just recently completed a long term substitute position at Affton High School in Geometry and Algebra classes.
I believe education should be student centered. Learners need to develop their ability to think logically and creatively so they may enjoy the learning process. I give immediate feedback and pos ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching students, especially when I get the chance to engage them one-on-one. I find that teaching in a public school, I do not get to do this nearly often enough, which disappoints me, for I feel that many students do not really connect with the learning process until they have individual, personal attention. Many of my students have told me how much they appreciate my high level of patience and how I will take the time to explain over and over again in different ways until they have completely understood. When teaching, I strive to reach all the different intelligences, thus I vary my activities widely. The most important element of the learning process, in my opinion, is helping the students apply what they have learned, and I center my lessons on helping students achieve the applications of the knowledge they accrue in my class.
From the moment I began French in hig ... read more

I love to work with and help children of all ages with their language skills and understanding. I like to teach through example and help children figure out their problems on their own, but with some guidance.
I am a recent college graduate with a BA in English (emphasis in Creative Writing). I have learned extensive grammatical skills and understanding through my work as an undergraduate as well as through my role as Non Fiction editor of our University's undergraduate literary magazine. I have experience tutoring non-native English speakers in English and have previously volunteered at day care centers, reading to children ages 2-5. I am excited to be given the opportunity to tutor again!

I am strict and enthusiastic. I believe in making the student get the initial learning curve but being a self starter. I then like being hands on after the student has demonstrated an effort to learn.

I really enjoy tutoring. I love watching the students gain confidence as we work through the problems. I believe my attitude and approach to teaching helps the students. I provide enough understanding to the students but still challenge them. The worst thing you can do, is just give the answers. I believe everyone wants to learn and do their best, but it is hard when you do not understand what you are trying to do. I enjoy providing that one on one attention to open their minds and show them they can do it.
I have always wanted to teach Math and Science. I have volunteered tutored on and off for five years for friends and family. I have a BS in Chemistry and have worked as a Chemist for 13 years. I currently am working as an accountant. I enjoy formulas and showing my students how everything comes togeher. Most people find Math frustrating and I enjoy showing them a dif ... read more

I have worked in both the public and private school settings and have 20 years teaching experience. I enjoy the most the opportunity to work with a child individually because that direct time and attention often makes it easier to assess areas of weakness and how best to adapt instruction to the learner's needs and learning style. One of my most cherished teaching positions was at the Arkansas School for Mathematics and Sciences, a residential high school for gifted junior and seniors. In that environment we were able to do so great learning activities that embedded student performance based learning so that students had opportunities to showcase their learning and language acquisition.
Some students remember best what they see, some what they hear, but nearly all will best recall material that they see hear say and do something with. My teaching style is one that tries to inco ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am passionate about literature, writing, and proper grammar, but I also have a strong grounding in pop culture, which helps, I think, to make the subject matter relevant and engaging. I am patient and skilled at explaining difficult subjects in a way that I feel a student can understand and I believe that humor is a very important tool in making learning an enjoyable experience. Some of my favorite and most effective teachers were among the funniest people I know and that serves as an inspiration for my own teaching style.
I graduated from Columbia University with a BA in English and political science and spent the four years following graduation working on the communications team for Mayor Michael Bloomberg in New York City. In that capacity I supervised a staff of five full time employees and a variable number of interns. That experience was helpful in terms of learning to teac ... read more
