Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

Every student learns differently. I have explored the many ways to teach so that children can learn. From previous teaching experience I am aware that some children are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. I teach based on the individual learning style. I am currently attaining an MBA in Marketing I have completed a lot of college courses and would love the opportunity to help out another college student. For example: Finance, Macro/Micro Economics, Business Administration courses. In addition, I am currently enrolled in the Texas Teachers program. I will obtain a teaching certificate at the time of completion. Courses that I am proficient in: Math Algebra, Writing, Reading, Technology, (Microsoft Office) (Power Point) (Typing skills) and college course that are mentioned above. I have more college experience and it's great to help out when the information is still fresh.

As a student I was always helping my friends and brothers with their school work, especially math. While in graduate school working on my Masters degree I tutored for the athletic department and even tutored some of my classmates who were college professors working on their PhD's. I have been a college teacher for more than 5 years and started doing private tutoring over 2 years ago. Teaching style varies by student and by subject, and even varies according to my level of skill in the subject matter. I have been told that I make things that are confusing or hard to understand easy, and I love that 'I see' look in a student's eyes.

Communication is the basis of all that I have learned. I believe that a tutoring experience needs to be different than the classroom lessons. To do it differently, using each student's learning style by building on their strengths and bridging their classroom instruction is my philosophy. Building on successes, in any area, gives a child confidence. I use a holistic approach keeping the whole student in focus, not just one subject area. For fun with math, I have many toys to help bring the concepts alive. I have numerous years of experience in teaching and tutoring from elementary levels to adult. I have developed and taught ACT/SAT/ General Knowledge workshops for two local institutions. I understand that reading difficulties at any level affect educational success in all other areas. I have experience in planning, organizing and delivering Supplemental Instruction which uses excellen

My students exhibited diversities in learning styles, backgrounds, cultures, and interests. I have taught English to students at many levels, including, standard, honors and advanced placement. Additionally, I was an active club sponsor and peer mediator. It has been and will always be my utmost goal to tailor my teaching methods to best meet the needs of all of my learners in order to ensure the highest level of success for each child. When I began my teaching career, my passion for English propelled me to initiate and nurture the same love of literature and writing in young people. However, although the aforementioned mantra remains in tact, another overarching mission evolved––to devote myself to the betterment of children’s lives using all of the knowledge, experience, skills and devotion that I have to offer. Two of the greatest rewards that I have received thus far in my teaching

Whenever I can, I like to be very hands-on in my teaching my students. For example, once I was teaching my class about trees. I had them go outside and collect samples of bark which had fallen on the ground. Then we created a gigantic mural in my classroom and glued the pieces of bark to a tree we had drawn. I have been a self-employed Tutor since April, 2006. Special needs and home schooled students are welcomed. Nothing makes me happier than when I see the smiles on the faces of my students when they succeed rather than fail. I assist all students in skill building and creating a life-long love of learning. I provide on-going feedback to parents and am happy to work with the teachers of my students.

I am a career educator who has taught English and other Humanities based courses extensively since 1988. My primary experience is on the college and university level but I also have a high school and middle school background. The educational and pedagogical philosophy I hold is this: The ability to communicate effectively remains the most vital of skills and is crucial to academic and career advancement. It is with a sense of privilege and honor I teach and with a sense of urgency as communication skills continue to evolve in a quickly changing world. Technology is not a substitute for literacy. It is there as a vital augmentation of learning. Critical thinking is nourished so well-considered and studied opinions are more than welcome; they are essential. Students have conveyed to me that my style is one of "relaxed intensity" with a flair for the dramatic laced with a sense of hum

I have my BA in English from UC Berkeley and my MA in Teaching Reading and Writing. I have been teaching systematic reading and phonics instruction since 2009, and am very passionate about teaching reading skills. I am experienced in all the major well-researched reading methodologies. With the program I use, I have watched students jump two grade levels in reading within 6 months of instruction. I teach students skills to decode words using phonics, along with the most common sight words in the English language. To improve fluency and reading comprehension, I incorporate texts that are both engaging and challenging for students into the lessons. I also teach students who struggle with spelling, helping them master the most common sound patterns, sight words and sight syllables to greatly improve their spelling. I love what I do, and enjoy instilling in my students a passion for reading.

My teaching style is very progressive. I utilize Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences quite a bit. I try my best with individualized testing to identify the students learning style. Then once this is identified, I can teach using the way that the student learns the most effectively.An aha light goes off and they understand the material now with a proud smile. To me, the best part of teaching is when the student starts to understand the material! I am a very reliable, dependable, caring and compassionate person and I have a very strong and diverse educational background. I am very strong in Reading and English. I also have taught ESOL and GED in the School System and have a great deal of patience with that! I am very knowledgeable of study skills.
