Poetry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Universal City, TX

Many of my works of poetry have been published in national publications and well as being used for public use such as The Whitney Project, greeting cards, and postcards. My first job right after turning 16 was working as a photographer and journalist for the local newspaper in my hometown. My main job was working with the teen section; GeneratioNext asking questions, taking polls, and writing articles that were teen related to teen issues, college and continuing education, and career goals. Throughout my junior high school and high school years I worked closely with the editor of the school newspaper as a writer, and with the yearbook committee taking classes in journalism and photography. When I started pursuing my associates while enrolled at San Antonio College I took photography classes more for recreation and to hone my hobby and appreciation for photos, editing, and working behind

My approach is one that is peculiar to each of my students. As an auto-didactic learner, I believe that everyone has their own way of learning. Therefore, I use an approach that I feel works well for each of my students, with regard to whether a student thinks abstractly or concretely, for example. With so many possible goals, it is important to be flexible to work with each student's learning style. I present concepts with the idea that experience is the key to learning. I strive to create a warm atmosphere that allows students to feel comfortable with making mistakes, with making progress and with being themselves. I see the process as a wonderful opportunity for students to gain knowledge and awareness and to personally develop. With my patience, positive energy, personal insight and passion for working with people, I help my students work towards progress while having a fun time

I tend to be really flexible and try to adapt my teaching style to the learning style of the student. For students who tend to be more tactile, I might have them handle apples if a math problem references apples. If a student is working on a writing assignment, I will offer suggestions (such as marking spelling/grammar/punction mistakes) and help them learn how to correct the errors so they won't continue to make the same errors in the future.

As a student-athlete from the University of Texas at Austin, I understand what it takes to be a well-disciplined, organized, focused, dedicated student. I hold a bachelor degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, which has allowed me to master a number of areas, including english, math, and science. I have also gained exceptional experience in formatting, researching, writing, editing, and revising numerous written works. These skills allow me to help your child become a very skilled reader, writer, and mathematician. I have tutored English and Math over the last two years. I have a truly divine passion for working with children. I will not stop until I have helped your child discover all of his/her academic talents! We all have strengths and weaknesses, and I am available to build upon your child's strengths, and to also drastically improve his/her weaknesses, resulting in a more

Depending on who I am teaching and what topic, I firmly but gently involve the students in the areas where they need help. I motivate them to a greater interest, therefore a more satisfactory outcome. Because I love reading, writing, and communicating, my interest and enthusiasm becomes contagious to others. I am patient and inventive in my teaching methods, fitting my style of teaching to the interests and experience of the student. When a student enjoys reading and writing, he or she then is more excited about learning for the rest of his or her life. These people become leaders. Therefore, I strive to entice my students to discover the joy in learning throughout their lives. I love the English language with its nuances, beauty, and precision of meaning. I taught in public schools for a number of years as a substitute, then returned to the university to study teaching of art, fina

My goal is to help students succeed in learning and in gaining confidence. My teaching style is to get the student engaged through multi-sensory and high interest sources. Utilizing student’s strengths helps gain early success and a willingness to grow and be challenged in new areas. I consider my 25 years of teaching experience to be a rich storehouse from which I can draw for future opportunities. It has been my privilege to teach at many levels and venues over my career which started in the mid 70’s. Elementary Education was my first major, and I enjoyed teaching in a Christian setting at 5th and 6th grade levels for many years. I opened my own Reading Center to help special students. Later I went to graduate school at St John’s College. I’ve taught Jr. High, H.S., and Jr. College. Most recently Sylvan Learning Center has given me great experience teaching reading, writing

I design the lesson to the learning preference of the student. I incorporate technology, visual, tactile and kinesthetic teaching styles. This gives the student the maximum opportunity to learn. If a student is having trouble with reading comprehension there are various skill sets a child learns in order to help with standardized tests. I have experience in that area. An understanding of literary elements can also enhance a child's understanding of literature and reading. The ultimate goal is for the child to be able to read for gaining information, but also understanding of the world and experiences around them and from other people. In my last three years of teaching I was the Inclusion/Resource teacher, however, I also worked with some Life-Skills students, as well as doing some 4th grade co-teaching. I am comfortable in working with at-risk students and understand the importa

I began my teaching career in South San Antonio, teaching at both the elementary level (K and 3) and at the middle school (6-8). At Shepard Middle School, I implemented a writing program that was credited with bringing standardized (TAAS at the time) scores up substantially, garnering our school a large monetary award from the state. After twelve years, I moved to the North East ISD, where I taught English at both Nimitz Middle School and Barbara Bush Middle School. I retired last June, but I still love working with children of all ages. I believe in relationships first. If a teacher knows her/his students, she/he can usually find what motivates them and use that to gain their trust and interest. Having taught for as long as I have, I know of many different ways to reach students. A positive attitude and an easy going personality go a long way, and I am known for both.
