Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Reading tutors in Grand Prairie, TX
"While working on my Master’s degree, I began tutoring college freshman and sophomores. Facilitating their development of effective study skills while helping those students reach their full potential in English, history, and writing has been the most satisfying aspect of my academic career. Having worked with students at many educational levels, from elementary school through college, I have found that working with students one-on-one is a great opportunity to discover their individual learning style allowing us to customize our time together to focus on their needs and talents, thereby maximizing their potential to excel ...

" While at UNF, I had the opportunity to tutor students from first grade through twelfth grade and spend three semesters interning at local schools. I completed three internships during which I was responsible for curriculum and lesson plans for 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th grades. My passion is helping students recognize their highest potentials. I am mostly able to do this through English Language Arts instruction, but I also pride myself on teaching my students other strategies for success such as organizational skills, social skills, and self-confidence." ...

" I also worked with the teachers in creating engaging lessons that meet the needs of all learners. I was constantly challenged to be creative, nurturing and most of all, patient. During my time in the classroom and as an assistant principal, I enjoy seeing the students progression throughout the year and having the opportunity to assist them in growing academically and emotionally. I am currently a 2nd grade teacher at a large elementary school in the Dallas area. It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent tutor who will make a positive contribution to each student." ...

" If I had to choose one, it would be writing, because a person can truly show off their skills and uniqueness. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my wife, and 2-year-old daughter. We're currently expecting another to join our brood, so that should bring the excitement level up! I graduated from The University of Texas at Dallas with a B.S. in Childhood Learning and Development."

"Many times the reason for an outburst in class or confusion about an assignment is an underlying need for help or an issue. This may be the minor need of extra practice on two digit multiplying, or the “why” of fractions. As a teacher, wife, sister, friend, aunt, daughter, and student, I have learned that you need to back up and figure out the cause of the problem. Alleviating the minor needs can prevent major needs and gaps down the road."

" As for the teacher in question, I made sure to send her an invitation when I graduated from TCU. TAKE THAT MRS. MCLEARY!! Sometimes the best revenge is to prove someone wrong.
As a person who is not too far removed from being a student himself, I am well aware of the difficulties that young people face today. Throughout my academic life, whether it was elementary, junior high, high school or college, I always had to work extra hard to make the grade."

"Interaction between the two serves as an impetus for understanding and motivation for success. Over the years, since began tutoring in high school, I have gained experience tutoring students from Kindergarten-12th grade as well on the college level. I have learned that a tutor is not only a guide, but a friend who helps in the learning process. I am a tutor who understands the way students think and perceive; this assists me in making science and mathematics and reading understandable. My aim is to help students reach their fullest potential and ultimately become mature self-learners. I enjoy working with students of all ages, and ...

"
I have been an educator for over 8 years and I have taught English II and English II Pre-Ap. As well as, English III AP and English IV . I must admit that I enjoy teaching high school, because literacy is the main focus. Teaching students to interpret what they have read for enjoyment as well as curriculum has always intrigued me.
In 2012 the state of Texas implemented a new and more rigorous test called the STAAR."

"Although I have consistently helped others throughout the learning process, I too have been on the other side of the tutoring spectrum. I have been very blessed in having influential people in my life that have helped me throughout my own educational experiences. Because of this, I realize the impact and value one-on-one teaching can have in education. Sometimes it takes an outsider's perspective and patience to help information really sink in, and this is what I am now privileged to offer others."

"As an undergraduate, I took quite a few pre-medical science courses in hopes of eventually pursuing a degree in medicine. In Spring 2012, I tried supplementing this career aspiration with additional pre-medical courses at the University of Texas in Dallas While my future career aspirations are still pending, I have an extensive background in math and science via my pre-medical background. Furthermore, as a business student I also have a strong foundation in business fundamentals and a firm understanding of the English language (via the many case reports I was tasked with writing). Having volunteered extensively in the community as ...
