ELAR Teacher: Getting your child engaged & invested!

Seasoned High School ELAR (English, Language Arts and Reading) Teacher, specializing in literary analysis, critical thinking and argumentation. While certified for secondary, I have experience working with elementary school students as well. All curriculum is personalized and determined through school work, test results, teacher comments, parental observations and needs-based assessments (if necessary). My goal as an educator is to expand on everything that works and change every component of everything that doesn't. I believe in teaching students in a manner that suits their needs not vice versa. Every lesson is meticulously planned. When teaching new material, the students learning style. Reteaching concepts involves a focus on the areas of weaknesses through repeated drills and exercises while tweaking areas of strength.
Unorthodox is the best way to describe my teaching style. ... read more

My comments on tutoring Shakespeare : In an Independent Study course taken at the post-graduate level, I focused exclusively on the works of William Shakespeare.

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, Inc. employs me each year to assess essays that students -- grades 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10 – submit as part of standardized testing in the states of Arizona, California, Tex ... read more

Reading, Writing, and More

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.
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.

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

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.
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.

Brain-based, student-centered
I'm Ebony! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's in Cognitive Studies and Education, and earned a Master's degree with distinction in Curriculum and Instruction. I am a Cognitive Specialist/neuroeducator whose sole objective is bridging the divide between the student and the content, using methods based on the individual's learning style. As I think back to when I have achieved most success as a student, it was always because of a phenomenal educator who taught the content in ways that appealed to my learning style. I was immersed in the content, and I thrived because of it. I provide the same instructional strategies and experiences for my students, who vary from children with neurological differences such as Autism, Dyslexia, and other learning differences, to gifted students, to adults who never learned how to read or perform mathematics.

A Little Bit About Me...

A high school math, English, web-design, and business educator since 2002, Jeff has been selected by Frisco ISD to tutor high school students who are homebound due to illness or injury. He enjoys this one-on-one approach to education and shares his love of learning and achievement with all of his students and tutoring clients. Previously, Jeff was a corporate trainer and program facilitator as well as an adventure travel instructor specializing in rock climbing, inline skating, and camping. Jeff declined an invitation to enroll at Johns Hopkins University in 7th grade, and is glad he did. Otherwise, he'd be a bigger nerd than he already is!
Learning is more accessible, more meaningful, and more memorable when it happens in a fun, but results-driven environment. I believe that the content has to be relevant to the student to be meaningful, and I use my diverse work experience t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

A third generation teacher, working with kids is in my blood. In college, many teachers and peers commented on my ability to break down a large or complicated issue into manageable, easy-to-digest ideas. Now, as I tackle scary grammar issues or the dense analysis of irony in a plot, I thrive on the "lightbulb" look on my students' faces when I have finally made something click. I tend to keep my instruction child-focused, rather than just performing a lesson; if their head, hearts, and hands are not involved in the learning, I don't feel confident the lesson will last.
From a young age, I have enjoyed teaching, working with young people, and the challenge of making a tough problem seem easy. I have a BA in Literature and am a semester away from completing my M.Ed. in Secondary Education. Additionally, I am a trained teaching consultant for the National Writing Project. I have ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a certified teacher in English and Math with 5 years of experience teaching in both public and private schools. In addition, I have been tutoring for more than 15 years and teaching summer camps for young people for 10 years. I am an expert in helping students prepare for such tests as the TAKS, GED, ACT, and SAT.
I am a caring teacher who is encouraging and helpful. I try to explain the material in a way so that students understand and keep trying different methods in order to determine how students learn best. Although I am very serious about helping students learn, I often use a lighthearted approach to help students loosen up and enjoy the learning process.

A Little Bit About Me...

Due to my desire to increase my knowledge, I graduated a year early from my university with a BA in Psychology, and a minor in Political Science. I am currently in Graduate School, majoring in Community Counseling. This is because I have a great desire to work with people, and help them out. I spent two years as an AVID tutor, working in all subjects but specifically Psychology, History, Government and Economics, Math, and English.
I work with students very well. I make sure that they are able to connect with me, and enjoy the process of learning. It's important to like what you are studying, so that you can get the most out of it. I feel as though it is necessary for them to enjoy the setting they are in, and I do my best to accommodate them. Learning should not be something that students do not look forward to, contrary; they should be excited to learn something new. I make sure ... read more

In 1981 I received a double-bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from Texas A&M Commerce. I tutored Math, basic skills through calculus I, and Computer Science for two years while attending the University. I have also tutored all middle-school subjects, especially reading and math, at Trinity River Mission tutoring facility in Dallas from 1991-1996. I feel capable of tutoring most high-school subjects including Algebra-Calculus, History, Politics and Science. I would be able to tutor beginning Calculus and/or Chemistry, but not without a little review. I have a very, very small Spanish language capability. I'm eager and ready to get started!
I love teaching and working with all children. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructive approach to learning. I try to build a child's se ... read more
