If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

Good teaching is about listening, questioning, being responsive, and remembering that each student and class is different. At the same time, it's about being human, respecting others, and being professional at all times.
I worked as a elementary teacher in Romania for about 13 years. I used to work differentiate and with a combination of classes. From the training I received, I learned methodics, how to teach math, science, physical education, arts, and develop other skills. I am patient and know child psychology. Don't want to substitute parents who have a great role in child development, I want to become the help and the friend of the kid, the friend who brings an alternative and new ideas in developing and performance.

More About This Tutor...

I have worked in many aspects of tutoring from being a lead teacher in a daycare classroom to my current job as a bilingual teacher assistant in an elementary school. I have held my current job for four years. I have worked with children with varying disabilities. I have also tutored college students in study and test taking skills, reading and comprehension, math, and English language arts.
I vary my teaching style according to what brings out the best in each of my students. It depends on what learning strategy works best for them.

My comments on tutoring Elementary Phonics : Have been extensively trained in phonics instruction and phoemic awareness.

I teach to the student's strengths and continually tailor my instruction to my observations and assessments of the student's learning preferences and progress. I have 12 years of K-12 experience as a special education teacher, and nine years experience as a tutor. I have tutored, math, reading, phonics, social studies, study skills, science, test preparation, composition, and spelling. I am willing to try tutoring almost anything that does not pertain to advanced math or science.

Elementary and Special Needs Tutor. Teaching to the Child.

I have been a certified special education teacher for 10 years. I have had the fortune to teach in various environments in a handful of different states. I have taught elementary students for a majority of my career, but have also managed to squeeze in high school and middle students for three years. The flexibility of my certification has allowed me to teach students with varying needs in the classroom and to teach Core Curriculum state standards, an alternative curriculum, and functional skills.
I believe that all students are successful. Each child needs to be given the correct tools for him or her to learn properly. I teach to the child's needs in all situations and adapt and modify the lesson.

I am currently in my 4th year of professional teaching experience and had 2 years of field experience while in college. In this time, I have worked with students across grade levels from elementary, middle, and high school in both classroom and one one tutoring settings. As a special education teacher, I have worked with students with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, emotional impairments, Austism spectrum disorder, and cognitive impairments. I have also spent a great deal of time working with general education students.
I am a high energy teacher who likes students to get hands on with their learning. My special education background has given me many remedial techniques and strategies to get students up to grade level.

Certified, experienced teacher who makes learning fun!

*Taught 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades. Developed many hands on lessons to enrich understanding of Science lessons. Have a masters degree in LA specializing in the teaching of reading. Have focused on helping students get meaning from information texts and communicate that information in their writing.
I like to make learning as hands on as well as applicable to their interests as possible. I expect students to give their best effort, but recognize each person's frustration level and ability is different. I like to set attainable goals with the child and then encourage them in each step they make toward meeting those goals.

A Little Help Makes All the Difference

All students learn best in various ways. I create lessons for the specific needs of each student.
I am a college graduate of Central Michigan University with a degree in Elementary Education, a major in science and minor in English. I have obtained 22 credits of my masters degree in Teacher Leadership for School Improvement and am 1 course away from my Reading Endorsement. I am also ESOL certified. I am a certified teacher and experienced tutor. I have experience teaching 4th and 5th grades, all subject areas, reading intervention for 2nd and 3rd grade, and reading and math tutoring experience all the way from pre-k through 9th grade. My reading graduate courses have given me great knowledge and understanding about reading difficulties, diagnoses and solutions. My years in the classroom have given me plenty of experience with various ways of teaching math “outside the box.” ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Ever since graduating from college and moving to Chicago I make time during my week to volunteer at the Chicago Temple in the Loop to help a child develop reading and comprehension skills in the English language. I invent creative ways and use the scientific method to engage my tutee with learning, such as on one occasion, while reading a literary work by Cuban poet Jose Marti, both the student and I individually drew pictures and diagrams as a way of interpreting the poem, and later shared our ideas with each other.
My love for teaching goes as far back as my high school years. Specifically, in 2004, when I graduated from high school, I decided to take a gap year before enrolling in college. During that time, I worked as a teacher’s assistant in a first grade class. That experience was both enjoyable and humbling for me because aside from performing my assigned duties to enhance t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I would offer a variety of book selections to the students. I would ask the child his or her interests and base the lesson around that as I believe we all learn better if the topic is of interest to us.
Though my degree is in Music Therapy,I enjoy English and Reading as well. My past seven years working for Measurement Incorporated as a Reader/Scorer for 4th, 5th, 6th and 11th grade writing for several states. This has enabled me to gain an understanding of the writing skills at the elementary level. Therefore, I am most interested in tutoring elementary students in Language Arts.

A Little Bit About Me...

I know that students can work and achieve if the right kind of motivation is given. Each child has their own learning style and interest which needs to be taken into consideration when working with thenm and then to be taught in that mode and style. My goal for the student is to learn through motivation when the interest is used in the lessons which will then enable the student to relate the lesson to their world. I am a firm believer that it is the choices that the student makes that makes success or failure and to take responsibility for these choices. It is modeling and team that makes success for the child.

A Little Bit About Me...

After having been a stay at home mother for many years I decided to go back to school and get a degree in education. I wanted to be able to teach children and use my knowledge and experience to help further their education and life skills. Although I did graduate with a degree in Language Arts I have not been able to gain employment in a school setting. During the last 15 years I have mentored many students through KIDS HOPE USA and while a youth leader at my church, thereby giving me many opportunities to interact with students. I have also been a substitute teacher in many locations throughout West Michigan.
I enjoy working with students of all ages and at whatever level of learning they are at. I believe that every child is capable of learning, it just depends on his/her style of learning. Having had a child with a learning style that was not the norm I understand the difficulty ... read more

I enjoy helping people learn English. Have a lot of understanding and compassion of what it means to learn a foreign language, as I have learned two. I have also lived as an expatriate in a foreign country, so I understand a lot of what the expatriate has to go through in a new land. I am used to teaching all types of learners, from slow to fast, and am able to adjust. I love to see people be encouraged and catch on, so I try to guide new concepts around mental roadblocks, and make it easy. I also love to learn new things, and new ways of doing things.

A Little Bit About Me...

Academic background and professional experience are the first important considerations for an early childhood education teacher. Having undergraduate work geared toward early childhood is a must. Post graduate work in early childhood can only enhance an early childhood educator. Professional experience in the field of early childhood will show the teacher and the school system if working with young children is where the teacher really belongs. A teacher looking good on paper should not be all the considerations given for an early childhood teacher.
I know if my students are learning if I am first using high quality researched based instruction and then progress monitoring my students on a regular basis to see how efficient my instruction was. To break it down more specifically I would pre-test my students, find out what they already know on the subject or concept, because why ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

With my counseling background, I desire to work with your student to help build his/her confidence in academics, but also confidence in his/her self. Each student has a unique learning style and I will take a collaborative approach to help them discover what works best for who they are. I see myself as a learning coach for students.
I have recently graduated with an MA in counseling psychology and have come to deeply appreciate academics and the role of education in our lives. As a graduate student, my writing and research skills were sharpened. I have worked as a career counselor for the past 3 years and have led groups and worked with students individually on career issues. While I was in college I was a volunteer tutor with elementary students in reading and writing and some math.
