That's quite...

...for him or herself. Without that, there is no real learning. This begins with the relationship between teacher and student. There must first and foremost be trust there, so that the student feels comfortable learning with a particular person.

My approach is one...

...I love sharing reading and writing with students. I enjoy everything from assisting students with basic reading comprehension strategies to helping students draft complex research essays.

Having read about so many adventures in literature, I enjoy having some of my own. I enjoy traveling, and have visited a...

...and high school students. I substitute teach about 90% of the school calendar year and I have been a tutor (in home and online). In fact, substitute teaching is a lot like being a tutor.

Each teaching situation is an opportunity to influence positively how a student sees him or herself as a learner. Learning takes place...

It's just too bad that it took me until college to realize it. Teaching a large...
