ELAR Teacher: Getting your child engaged & invested!

Unorthodox is the best way to describe my teaching style. Unorthodox in that I will change my approach or activities based on student comprehension. Unorthodox in that I truly believe that for every student who is confused or doesn’t understand a concept, there is a teacher who didn’t do their job. My greatest strength lies in creating lessons and activities where students will want to engage. Engagement leads to a permanent investment. When a student is engaged by a lesson, they will remember that lesson. To introduce Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado,” my students played "Who's crazier: Edgar Allan Poe or Mrs. W’s Mom or Dad???” After reading a series of statements such as: “Removed tires from daughter’s car for talking back” “Married his first cousin,” students would guess if it was Poe or my mom/dad. The level of participation in class that day and the days that followed wa ... read more

All kids can learn no matter what their disability!

I have been teaching special education for over 6 years. I've taught low functioning students with Learning disabilities, autism, MR, etc... Some kids learn at a different pace and some progress, while it may not be much, opens the door to confidence and hope. I will work hard and help your child to succeed where they can and build character along the way. We as educators need to teach the whole child.
Patient. I work at the students pace and tighten the rigor where the student can succeed.

My comments on tutoring Reading : As a tutor of 10th- and 11th-grade foreign exchange students, I have found that advancing their reading comprehension skills serves as a prelude to massaging their competency in writing. I am also hired each year by Pearson Education, Inc. to assess the reading comprehension skills of fifth graders taking the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA test).

I advocate a "hands-on" approach that affords students an opportunity to feel as if they are teaching themselves and I am there only to facilitate the process.
I am foremost a writer whose 38-year, award-winning career is rooted in journalism. However, I also have an extensive teaching background. I have taught writing labs at St. Thomas University – Miami, Florida (1987-88), Mississippi State University (1988-89) and Texas A&M University (1989-93); and I currently offer tutoring services to 10th- and 11th-grade foreign exchange students from all over the world. Some of my tutoring involves preparing students to take the college-entrance SAT. I am particularly qualified to do this from a writing perspective, because the College Board contracts me each year to assess the essays students submit as part of their SAT testing. In a similar fashion, Pearson Education, I ... read more

My comments on tutoring Reading : Reading can be boring when not done properly. A good reader attracts attention and enables audience comprehend.

I have a Doctorate degree in Business Administration (DBA), issued by Argosy University Florida. 2 Masters degrees from International Management Center Buckingham (UK) and Northland Open University Bournemouth (UK) obtaining HRM and accounting. I have a Bachelor degree from the British Society of Commerce, Wigan (UK) in accounting. I have an Associate degree from ITT Tech Richardson - Texas in Computer Networking Systems. I have used these qualifications to serve a variety of communities.
I feel that learning does not have to be painful and so I make it enjoyable by simplifying the materials. I use powerPoint, lectures, I do role play, group work and challenging methods where students have to use their intelligence to answer questions. I make students solve questions in class to show that they understood the materials.

Very relaxed and encouraging. I use quite a bit of discussion, and I like to ask students questions that lead them down the path to help them discover the answers they seek. I have found that information is better retained if one can guide the student to the conclusion that they seek ... read more

For the past couple of years, I have assisted in tutoring my peers, children, and adults in many of the subjects I have listed on my profile. The courses I tutor in are ones I have made exceptional grades in, so I am very confident in my abilities to tutor. I cannot guarantee that who I tutor will immediately receive A's, but it is a work in progress and it also depends on how much time the student puts in to study. Overall, my methods are effective, and you'll get your money's worth for sure.
