Spelling Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Temperanceville, VA

I have been called a "Spelling Nazi." Is this an insult or a compliment? I love that I can spell most any word, but I don't like being called a nazi! I work well with students of all ages.

I'm currently enrolled for my Masters in criminal justice and criminology, and I plan to futher my education to teach within that field.

All students, regardless of race, gender, learning disability, socioeconomic status, and cultural group, are capable of learning, especially if they have a good teacher. As an educator, I believe that I must be willing to step outside the norm to meet the diverse needs of students, in order to effectively reach them. This implies that I try a variety of approaches. Good teaching involves starting at the child’s level. Teaching that is too confusing, or not challenging enough, will only be a disservice. Simply getting to know the students prior to teaching is a start. I believe doing simple things, such as modifying reading assignments or making sure special learners have the appropriate accommodations will help students be successful. I am presently working as a high school instructional assistant and have been since 2008. For the past two summers, I have also had the opportunity to wor

I take the role of an expert as well as a facilitator while I'm teaching. I try to maintain status as an expert among students by displaying detailed knowledge and by challenging students to enhance their competence. I also emphasize the personal nature of teacher-student interactions. I guide and direct students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make informed choices. Overall goal is to develop in students the capactiy for independent action, initiative, and responsibility. I did my field experience teaching in Elementary and Middle schools. I have a bachelor degree in English Linguistics and a minor in teaching English as a second language. I have a very good knowledge of grammar and writing compostions and research papers. I have volunteered at various local ESL organizations. I taught Writing and Cultural orie

As an older student returning to complete my degree, I was driven to achieve my goal. I worked while completing my education and this gave me a better appreciation for that education. My teaching skills were honed while working with middle school children in the public school system and as a private piano and voice teacher. Experiences in the church setting further added to the experience that has made me a better business person and teacher. I maintained a large number of students in private practice as well as in an educational center setting. As a member of the National Piano Teacher's Guild, my student consistently scored in the excellent category when competing in the annual Guild Auditions. Students of all ages are welcomed in my world...from beginners to the senior citizen who wants to learn more. I strive to make the learning fun and exciting by finding what works for the stude

For 9 of my 31 years in education, I was a classroom teacher. For 22 of those years, I was a reading teacher and instructional resource teacher. These positions required me to test students who were new to the district, do turnkey workshops for the faculty of the school in which I worked and also plan and devise curriculum suggestions with the administration of the school district. I feel that my experience will enable me to help students with their tutoring needs. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to help children of many ages throughout my teaching career. I ascribe to the philosophy which says that all students are capable of being successful if they are given enough assistance and opportunities to learn. I believe that with understanding, patience and the correct materials, all students can learn to be successful. In today's high-pressured societal demands, many students

I am a graduate of Salisbury University with a BA in Visual Communications and more than three years experience working hands on with students ages three - adults. After studying Fine Art, Media, and Liberal Arts at Pratt Institute, Columbus College of Art and Design, and Salisbury University, I spent two years as an instructor and Assistant Manager of a private art studio, where art was taught in cooperation with other subjects, often along side science, history, and geography. During that time and in the year that followed I have also been a private instructor for children and adults in the arts and English. As a teacher, I strive to discover how each student processes and interprets information and then tailor my lessons to meet individual needs. Along with subject information, I incorporate visual and tactile examples when relevant and always encourage students to follow their own cu

I’ve always enjoyed teaching others, whether I was a kid tacking up my pony and giving informal riding lessons or leading fellow undergrad students through the forests surrounding Salisbury University’s field station. In the past two years, I have discovered a passion for children. I immensely enjoyed the summer I spent teaching riding lessons in Colorado and realized how much I wanted to continue with the education process when I returned to the Eastern Shore. As a substitute teacher, I have been able to explore the range of teaching methods and opportunities. I thoroughly enjoy working in a small group or one-on-one setting with students who have specific learning difficulties or problems and helping them grasp the material at hand. While at Salisbury University, I studied Environmental Issues and firmly believe in the theory I learned that education in the beginning for everything. I

A wise man once said; to learn, read; to know, write. But to master, teach. Teach is one of those nifty reflexive verbs where the teacher and pupil are interchangeable. If both are patient, resourceful, imaginative and caring the learning becomes less process and more flow. This is always my goal in teaching: creating a positive and flexible environment for all the principles involved. And of course, frequently there must be laughter. I graduated from St. Lawrence University, a liberal arts foundation of learning that has served me judiciously on the metaphorical road of life. For the past several years I have applied my interest for the ocean environment, marine mammals and teaching to volunteer for education outreach in schools and the local communities in coastal Delaware.

In addition, I created, planned, and implemented educational, social, and recreational programs with residents and faculty.

I took a few classes on teaching at a small community college while I was still in high school. I still am considering becoming a teacher after going back to school to complete my major in accounting. I've always been a stronger believer in one-on-one teaching working more proficiently then being taught in a classroom. I am very patient and hard-working. I had an internship at an under-priviledged daycare for local children in Maryland and it was one of the most rewarding things I have ever accomplished. I understand the difficulty in learning new things takes time and patience so I am fully willing to diligently work to help encourage students to strive to reach goals. I entered DeVry University in Summer of 2007 as an Accounting/Business Major looking to aquire my Associates of Applied Science in Accounting. I took a variety of general education classes such as business, math, english,

Along with creating meaningful service experiences and coordinating immersion trips, I have been teaching 9th grade religion for 5 years. I have worked with students of all ages, but my experience tutoring is primarily with English term papers. Currently I am studying to be a school counselor and am skilled in college counseling as well as all school counseling curriculum. In May of 2012 I will be certified by the state of Maryland board of Education as a counselor in grades K-12. I have taught 3 year olds, 8 year olds, 12 year olds and high school students and the one thing they all have in common is that they all need a structured environment to reach their academic potential.
