Award-Winning English Tutors in Carmel, IN

I am the mother of two adults, who will always be my kids in my heart. I also have three dogs who make me smile every day and a husband who wants to be Superman. I enjoy painting, yoga, reading, watching tv, gardening, cooking and a good cup of tea. ... In a first session I would try to find out the student's goal and assess what their current strengths and weaknesses are in regard to that goal.

...my strong belief as an educator, as well as a stakeholder in the public school system, that every child can learn. It is my job to facilitate that learning and to help each child reach their optimum potential by differentiating my instruction and inspiring students to get excited about the content they are studying. I take education very seriously, as it a very valuable key that opens the door to so many opportunities later in...

...I consistently utilize researched based instructional practices to ensure that students receive the most effective education possible. I have experience teaching kindergarten through fourth grade in a variety of settings. I taught in an urban school setting my first year and am currently in a rural school setting.

...can testify to the fact that I have exceptional communication skills and have a remarkable, positive influence on others. My long-term career goal is to be an instructor of religion/spirituality/theology in higher education. I enjoy listening to music, while taking a walk, eating different foods, watching comedies, hanging out with friends and reading books and other literature on contemporary issues and theology. I look forward to joining you in this voyage of learning!... I understand the value of not only learning content, but also being able train students to think well. From my personal experience as a student, I know that the best professors are those who have exceptional communication skills. My hope is to not only deliver content, but also to inspire learning how to use critical thinking skills and to construct and evaluation conclusions. This can be accomplished through my student/learner-centered pedagogy. I believe that it is important that before a student masters content, an instructor should focus on learning about the student, including his/her learning styles, cultural and ethnic background, and other social information that can contribute to the way a student learns.

...academic, I see the needs that students have as they leave high school and enter the university environment, and I want to impact students before they reach that level. Hopefully through tutoring, more students will have the necessary skills they need to excel in higher education. History is my favorite subject to study and teach, however, it is such a interdisciplinary study that I find myself constantly studying literature, politics, government, essay writing, etc. I...

...development. As a tutor, I try to identify the strengths and motivations of my students in order to find out ways to help students identify with the subject matter. I find that identification of the material with concrete examples or applications makes any subject more interesting, and easier to learn. Outside of work, I am interested in technology and education issues, and I try to be as involved in community events as possible.... I prefer to identify student's strengths first to assess what areas we can focus on to bring out the best in students.

I have 20 years of teaching experience and I feel that i am well prepared to meet the needs of anyone who would like to get tutoring from me. I will do my best to make sure the students knows his/her material and help him/her as best I can.

There is nothing that will get you further in life than a mind that is willing to learn.
