More About This Tutor...

I am able to tailor my instruction to each individual, understanding that some children have difficulty grasping certain subject matter due to either their individual learning style, or perhaps on circumstances beyond their control.
I am currently teaching in the Dysart USD, Surprise AZ. I am able to direct my energy to exactly achieving the goal of each family for their child. I specialize in all subject areas for grades 1-5. I love teaching.

More About This Tutor...

I have always been described as person who truly loves children. I am patient and kind but hold high expectations. I believe all children want to learn and enjoy learning when they meet with success. Success in learning can bring a huge change in attitudes and behavior in children. I have seen it happen.
I have ten years experience teaching elementary school. I have taught sixth, fourth and third grade. I also have one year experience teaching kindergarten. I have been trained in writing instruction through the state in North Carolina. I am also trained in the Literacy First reading program. I currently hold a valid teaching certificate in North Carolina for grades K-5. I am presently applying for my Arizona certificate.

A Little Bit About Me...

I value the learning styles of each individual student and regardless of subject matter, I emphasize developing study skills to enable the student to apply what he or she learns in every subject/course.
In the last nine years, I have actively addressed the goals and available resources of diverse student populations. During college, I tutored through several organizations, including AVID, Hermanas Intimas, and the Ophelia Project. Later at San Francisco State University, I served as a Teaching Assistant for two semesters and two departments. Prior to these experiences, I have taught English, ESL, and EFL to native and non-native English speakers domestically as well as internationally. English was not my first language, and I use my own experiences with language and culture to communicate successfully with students from all backgrounds. Furthermore, I am very comfortable with onlin ... read more

I love to see the success in children's eyes. I am patient and kind, but have big expectations. I believe in active engaged learning and using higher levels of thinking when possible.Having a special education background, I believe all children can learn at their own developmental rate. I celebrate even the smallest success and truly mean it. Even though, I have been in administration, I continued to teach in classrooms, mentor and tutor students. So often, the appreciation of the students and parents has been afforded to me.
My Bachelor's degree was in Special education. I became certified in elementary education in Arizona. I taught school( 1 year in high school, 2 years in 1&2 combo, 1 1/2 years in self contained special ed grades 5-8(relocated, 9 years in grade 3, 2 years in grade 4.

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my goal to enhance learning to help your child get their homework done and for them to learn valuable skills along the way. I care about your child's frustration and boredom with homework and understand that success is built on minimizing distractions, breaking each problem down and creating a comfortable, quiet setting.
As a graduate of a college known as the Ivy League of the South and a highly ranked business school, I am very driven to teach others to achieve success in their education experience. I have earned my bachelor degree in Accounting while working full time and later went back to school studying medicine. I am now a Tutor in several of the most frustrating and demanding subjects: Accounting, Calculus, Algebra, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology and Physics. I enjoy teaching and bring fun into all my lesson plans.

Throughout my higher educational career, I’ve been driven to learn as much as possible to help satisfy my enormous curiosity. I have earned a bachelor degree in English Literature, and am currently a MFA candidate in the creative writing program at Arizona State University. As part of my graduate funding, I work as a teaching assistant. The program requires constant training, and I enjoy taking part in understanding the way students learn. In addition to teaching at the university, I work with the Office of Youth Preparation—teaching not only the craft of poetry, but helping 4th and 5th graders develop language skills necessary to do well in school. Although I primarily work with the study of English, I study Spanish and have become proficient with the use of the language.
I believe that the possibilities of learning are incredible, especially with understanding the tools of both ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children and am able to communicate with most in a way that produces a secure and encouraging environment. I am patient, easy going, and respect each child's right to express himself in an appropriate way. I believe each child can learn if he is given the appropriate materials, methods, and teacher for his style of learning.
My first teaching experience involved establishing a Title I Kindergarten classroom. Since that first few months of teaching, I have loved working with children at the kindergarten level and teaching them the basics of learning to read and prepare them for 1st grade. I have taken several classes from different universities in teaching reading and methods of teaching. I am a retired teacher, but continue to work with children through volunteer work.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching and tutoring students for over 10 years. I teach students up to grade 12. I have been working in Canada as a tutor and worked with dyslexic students as well. I taught math and excelled myself with a high gpa up to grade 12.
I always try to ask the student what they think they are weak in. Always try to change the teaching method so that the student does not fall in a routine every session. They sometimes decide on doing, for example, in math, inventing their own equation and participating in their own learning.

Because I had such a hard time learning and focusing in a regimented, institutional-type learning setting in school, and yet was a brilliant child, I teach extremely well in a relational more relaxed approach. Rather than "shove information down throats" I am interested in each individual, and to get to know their personality and learning style. I have found that when there is relationship and trust between the mentor and the student, not only does the student learn the information more effectively, but as the mentor, I am able to teach and speak more clearly. Rather than lecturing or preaching at them about what I think life should be like for them, I take them hiking, out to eat, to movies etc.
I have always had a heart to help others become the best that they can be. For the last 2 1/2 years, I have been taking in troubled teens into my home and being directly involved in coachi ... read more
