Learning is serious, but that doesn't mean it has to be grim

I have a Texas Teaching Certificate for K-8, all subjects. In addition to teaching elementary school I taught courses at the University of Texas in Austin in the undergraduate teacher education program. I supervised dozens of student teachers at UT, and have spent the past 17 years conducting professional development for educators (teachers, curriculum directors, principals and superintendents) in the field.
I encourage higher order thinking, and help students learn to become self-directed and independent. Not only will your child develop greater skills and knowledge in each discipline, he/she will develop many specific thinking strategies and skills which they will apply in the classroom and throughout life. My mottos is, "Learning is serious, but that doesn't mean it has to be grim." I believe in making learning exciting, and especially in helping children learn to believe ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have over five years of science teaching experience on the high school level. I am passionate about the sciences and have an infectious enthusiasm for the topics that I impart to my students. I don't just sit there and lecture, but I show students how to take effective notes and digest material by sifting through things that are just "textbook fluff."
I have taught grades 9 - 12 and have experience with tutoring college-level students in the health sciences. I am highly proficient at working with students with special-needs and diverse learning styles.

My comments on tutoring Elementary Science : Science is such a fun subject to learn and to teach. I once had a public school class that had to learn about the 5 senses. I was to teach them about how each could affect the others. I brought in a potato, an onion and a knife. After making sure nobody had any allergies to either the potato or onion, the students set about to being awed their teacher had a pocket knife in class. Then I set to work. I cut a few pieces off of each. I called a volunteer up and had them smell the onion, showing it to the class, then popped the potato in their mouth. Again showing it to the class. I asked what they just ate. They were spitting it out as they said "onion" The class was roaring with laughter and begging to be next. I should have taken in 2 of each of the onions and potatoes because I went through them very quickly with all of the volunteers. The kids got the point and had a great time at the same time. A lesson doesn't have to be a boring lecture. Students should enjoy learning to create a love of learning that will last for a life time.

3 years experience as an educator in the Copperas Cove Independent School District. 2 years experience working independently as a tutor in all core courses with grades pre-K through 6th grade. I have taught all ranges of students, including special education students with ADHD and both high functioning autism and retardation. In the public school setting the special education classes were all taught together as one. However I have tutored them on a one on one basis more effectively. Just like every other student, they need individual attention to retain what they are taught and have their own learning style that can only be found in a personal tutor that understands their behavior and learning needs. I have that experience and knowledge.
Creative teaching for a life time love of learning. I gather everything at my disposal to work with my students and teach to their particular ... read more
