Knowledge equals understanding and success when applied.

I have used my teaching degree in the business segment teaching technical training courses in telecommunications, computer technology, and general business courses including customer service, safety and inventory techniques. I have built several technical training centers from the ground up. I have coordinated with various vendors to supply materials to assure that the latest technology available was in place. I developed the appropriate training courses to educate technicians on the latest fiber optic equipment and how to test it to resolve service issues. I also developed and deployed training material to disseminate information on new data base applications in the telecommunication arena. I home schooled my son and he then exited a private high school with honors. I have an interest in helping your student achieve the very best that they can.

Literature is one of my top subjects! Understands scope of themes, plot, structure, and styles featured by a wide variety of literature, from Chaucer to Stephen King.

I allow students to discover answers by themselves by prompting them with questions. This hands off technique reflects the minimalist philosophy of the writing center I worked for, and I have found it is a far more effective way to help students grasp concepts which will globally make their writing better. Understanding the fundamentals of good writing is the most important tool to becoming a good writer; where merely diagnosing an issue and giving an answer for it leads to much more lazy writing in the future. That's what makes fundamental understanding so important, because it carries over into future assignments.
As a student, I earned a 3.87 in my major of English Arts, while both working as an employee for the school writing center and as a contributor for the school newspaper. I also did a lot of moonlighting outside of the writing center as a personal tutor for undergrads, h ... read more

We learn from our own mistakes.

I taught Arabic as a second language in Plainfield Indiana to students of different ages and of both sexes. I taught all language skills with some concentration on reading skills and conversation. The size of the class was relatively big as I had about 40 students. I encouraged students to express their ideas in the form of written sentences and the I would go over what they wrote in order to correct their sentences by showing the how to construct a sound Arabic sentences.
I encourage my students to be the core of teaching by stimulating them to engage in discussions about certain topics of their liking. Also, I encourage them express themselves even though they might make mistakes. I help them find why is it a mistake and how to correct them.

A compassionate person interested in students' success!

I prefer student-centered teaching that encourages learning by both students and teacher. I am an advocate of acknowledging that the students’ varied viewpoints and different ways of solving problems are acceptable. I also favor classroom dynamics even in an environment that permit positive dialogue to optimize success. In addition, I bring an attention to students that extends beyond the classroom as I have great communication skills and can help to advise or clarify issues for those students who need some extra instruction.
I have 28 years of experience as a Speech & Language Pathologist in a West Houston School District. I am currently retired. I presently work as an Adjunct Professor at a Community College. I teach incoming freshmen a required student success class. I teach study skills, test strategies & skills, effective study skills, learning styles, speech and writing skil ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I was a History, Chemistry and Literature tutor while attending Austin Community College. My experience as a tutor for the last five years had allowed me to help perfect my teaching style. My college education lasted ten years and during that time I studied a wide variety of subjects, such as Chemistry, Biology, Literature, Writing, Government, Anthropology and History. I will also be receiving my teaching certificate in the next 2 years.
I strive to make learning fun in any way that I can. I always include facts that keep a student interested in the subject I am teaching. I want to make an impression on my students and make them realize that every subject is important and interesting in its own way. My goal is to leave each student with the same passion for learning that I have.

A Little Bit About Me...

The majority of my teaching and tutoring experience comes from instructing college freshmen in how to write intelligent, thesis-driven essays. I hold a BA and MA in English and have taught writing courses at the University level as well as tutored remedial students. I am well-trained in helping students to become careful, critical readers, as well as develop original and convincing arguments through the careful crafting of strong thesis statements and supporting ideas.
My teaching philosophy is to set high standards and to work diligently with students to achieve them. One's ability to communicate ideas clearly is the cornerstone of both academic and corporate success. The way to achieve this is to first become a critical reader. A student must understand the pattern of a well-formed essay before writing one of his or her own. Once a student has grasped the above, we develop origin ... read more

Teaching has been a passion for me for a long time. I believe that if one is to effectively learn a language, one needs to get a close to immersion as is possible. Therefore, reading outloud, pronunciation, listening, and speaking are focused on. Although grammar and spelling are important, so is comprehension. Through visualising a sentence instead of just a word, one has a better chance at understanding, and will learn vocabulary more quickly. Students of all ages will benefit from my method.
As is evidenced by my background, I hold education as one of the most valuable of commodities. Throughout life, an education is something that can never be taken away. It is a form of wealth that stays with you. I have two Master's degrees. One in Accountancy and one in Business Administration. My undergraduate education focused on International Studies and French. As an undergraduate ... read more
