My original degree was in English with a minor in Spanish. I received my teaching certification in 1979 in Secondary English/Spanish. I taught adult ESL part time for 2 years in the evenings. After a taste in this field, I began teaching in ESL and have taught 9 years in public schools. With one school district I also had a class helping students with the English part of the TAAS test. During the rest of my career I taught Spanish which was also 9 years. I believe the first thing you need to do is to find out what the student needs help with. At times I have used music, poetry, or computer programs to get the students attention. Repetition is very helpful and note cards are good for memorization. Taking notes is a good way for the student to stay focused. A little comedy helps too to help students to remember. I enjoy helping students, adult or younger, feel the success of learn

In order to achieve the knowledge necessary to teach secondary level students reading and writing skills I have been driven to achieve a Masters degree in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Secondary English. Through extensive research of learning strategies for both English speaking and English Language Learners, I have gained knowledge of the best techniques for learning English Language skills. As a substitute teacher and student teacher, I have gained experience in both tutoring and classroom teaching in order to be able to teach my students the diverse techniques they need to excel in both basic reading and writing skills. I have found through my most recent teaching and tutoring opportunities that all children have the capability to learn. Some just need that one-on-one assistance in order to succeed. I believe in hands-on learning that provides students of all learning styles

My teaching style is one in which I strive to engage students in the subject by both instructing and challenging them to think on their own. I also strive to accomplish this goal in such a manner that the student experiences the fun that is a part of learning, but one that also emphasizes the importance of the learning process as well. In all of my tutoring and teaching experiences, I communicate how critical good study habits are: self-discipline; finding a quiet place to study; punctuality; attention to detail; following the rules; etc. As a person who holds both a BA and MA in English, each with concentrations in writing (creative and technical, respectively), I am qualified to, and have for several years, tutored English language studies skills, including composition, grammar, punctuation, and reading comprehesion, to students from the third grade through college. I have also taught

I have a passion to teach and enjoy children. I understand that all children learn using various learning styles. In an effort to help a child, I must gain insight on the child’s challenge to learning, then cerate real world relevancy to help grasp concepts. I believe all students are able to utilize and discover their full potential to learn if given the appropriate environment and caring instructor. In the field of education, I have over 3 formal years of teaching experience as well as mentoring and one on one teaching basic computer skills in the corporate setting. I hold a Masters in Instructional Technology, 18 graduate hours in Curriculum and Instruction and a Texas teacher certification in Business grades 6-12. During classroom instruction, I have mentored in various subjects including Accounting, English, Algebra, and Reading. From my strong educational background, I have gaine

My style of teaching is entirely dependent upon the needs of each student. My abilities and skills are highly adaptable to the needs each student faces. I believe that each student has a certain type of intelligence. Some will be gifted in art or music or visual learning or learning by repetition, and I consider it my responsibility to find out how each student learns, and then try to teach using their innate intelligence. For instance, if a student learns best using music, I will try to create a song that will help them learn the material. I have had success with this as a teacher of Latin. Students quickly learn declensions and conjugations as they sing them. I am a certified teacher in the state of Texas. I have, for the past ten years, been tutoring and teaching Latin and English/Language Arts. I taught high school for two years in Pennsylvania, and for the last two years, I
