GED Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Yarmouth, IA

Using my English Rhetoric degree and years of classroom experience, I have developed a multitude of teaching ideas and strategies for students. I am highly experienced at developing IEPs for students. I have assisted many students to achieve grade level competency or beyond and advanced students desiring to improve English skills. I am skilled in both writing and reading instruction. Among my accolades in teaching are all students passing the 10th grade WASL first try, level 3s or above on AP tests and several of former students becoming published authors. I am also skilled in the area of basic math, and history. I expect myself to be prepared for the lesson; to research, create and discover strategies to help each student to learn. Reciprocally, I expect each student to have completed his or her work, and come prepared to learn. There is a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment

Tutored mainly in mathematics, including one elementary student and 2 college students. I am a firm believer that most students may dislike subjects they may not completely grasp.

I'm a strong believer in the Gardner's ideas of many different learning styles and types of intelligent. Some students are better audio, tactile, or visual learners. I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to find the best learning style for each student and build on that format through scaffolding. I love nothing better than to see the light bulb go off in a students mind. This also helps them to realize that learning can be a fun adventure. I've been a special education teacher and held positions in resource and in self-contained rooms. I've taught students with learning problems in reading, math, and writing. I have also worked in the Lights on for Learning program and have been a home tutor for home bound students in the district.

Since my elementary years I've always been a student driven to succeed and pursue higher levels of education. Recently I've graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Civil Engineering which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. I can also speak and handle any questions in Spanish at an intermediate level. Furthermore, I served as a junior mentor in the CADS (Center for Alcohol and Drug Services) after school program, tutoring and leading the kids in organized fun. I love teaching and helping children pursue their dreams. I believe that all children can be successful if given the right time and role models. I am a friendly, patient, and easy going guy. I am willing to help any student in whichever way possible achieve and believe they can be successful.

I believe the best way to learn is peer-to-peer learning. As an auto-didact I have the study skills necessary to regurgitate information as taught by the current institutional models. This is an uncreative and highly unnatural way to learn. There's a reason no major discovery was made in a classroom -- true innovation, discovery and learning is an organic process. I'm a student at Augustana College whose academic record has ranged from public school to home schooling to community college and and even private education. I've worked as a tutor for over 2 years at Black Hawk College, at the same time obtaining an Associates Degree. Throughout those years I've encountered many special needs students and many bright students, tutoring in subjects ranging from English, Math, Social Studies, to Computer Science.

I enjoy tutoring and working with children of all ages. Two concepts I consider most important are learning the basics and setting small goals towards the ultimate goal which is set with the student. I believe harder problems or concepts are understood if the basics are strong, and having goals is rewarding for both the student as well the tutor. I seek to develop the style of teaching that is most effective to the student. I truly think every child has a potential to succeed and I thrive to reach that potential. My tutoring experience started while I was attending Valencia Community College, prior to my medical school training. To date, I have received my BS in Health Sciences and my Doctorate of Medicine degree. One thing I always stood behind is education; I was told that education is the one thing no one can take away from you. This is why I believe in guiding students and help

I am committed to helping students achieve mastery of the writing process. Using direct instruction and excellent examples, I take students step-by-step towards building better sentences, paragraphs, and essays. I use rubrics and standards to provide the students with a framework and structure. Through practice, practice, practice, soon they are developing polished writing that meets high expectations of SAT tests and teachers. I am an author of many books. I have published a book for the trade market (in bookstores) as well as many books for the education market. Among the books I have written is a book for teachers about teaching writing to the high school student. I have more than 30 years experience in helping students be better writers. Additionally I have been a bylined columnist for a local paper and have been published in many newspapers across the country. I know how to
