Rachel

ACT Reading Tutor • +24 Subjects

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.

Jill

College English Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a graduate of Texas State University. I received my Master of Arts in Literature with a focus on philosophy and cinema after completing my thesis on zombies! Since graduation, I have worked in academic publishing at the University of Texas at Austin and as an Adjunct Professor of English at Austin Community College. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Composition. In my experience helping struggling students, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) when using pop culture as a comparative text for core concepts. Taking student interest into consideration when approaching a subject never fails to spark curiosity and engagement. I am a firm proponent of the idea that learning and laughter go hand in hand, believing fun to be absolutely necessary for long-term memory retention. In my spare time, I enjoy books, movies, television, gaming, yoga, and kitties!

Hello, my name is Dezarae. I was born and raised in the middle of the United States, better known as, Kansas. My parents were military and stationed at, Ft. Riley, KS, army base. Eventually, my dad left the military and chose Kansas as a place to raise my brother and I. I am single and enjoy shopping, being with family and friends, and attending plays as entertainment. I am currently an online English instructor for a technical college and a secondary district instructional coach in the English/Language Arts department. I thoroughly enjoy helping students brainstorm ideas and interpret literature that leads to great argumentative topics or the classic variety writing styles of basic English. Additionally, I work with reading intervention at all levels and help to differentiate instruction for each student at meet them at their level in order to make gains to push them to proficiency. I have been teaching for 12 years and I love all grade levels and helping students meet their academic goals. I received my bachelors and masters degree at Kansas State University. My bachelors degree is in Elementary Education with an endorsement as English as Second Language and my masters degree is in Curriculum and Instruction with emphasis in Reading and Language Arts with a reading specialist certification. I recently just received my post-doctorate degree at Grand Canyon University as well as building leadership license at Newman University. My future plans are to become an elementary principal or college professor teaching pre-service teachers. My present plans are to obtain a second masters degree in Special Education due to the high need in our district. My passion is to invest in strategic reading strategies, in classrooms, as well as assisting teachers in implementing best teaching practices in the classrooms. This is to ensure that they are effective, challenging and developmentally appropriate, for students to gain necessary reading skills to use across content areas that will make them college ready and globally competent in their future. I look forward to building relationships with each one of my tutoring students during your session as well as making learning fun and understandable while meeting our targets to help you reach success.

Rachel

ACT English Tutor • +51 Subjects

I have been teaching and designing curriculum for middle school, high school, and college students since 2010. My curriculum and lesson plans are guided by the belief that every student has a unique set of talents that, when harnessed correctly, can be used to achieve even the most ambitious goals. I work particularly well with students who want to improve their reading and writing abilities. I make reading lessons understandable and interesting, and I love to share the writing strategies that helped me win my scholarships to the college of my dreams... and become its newspaper's editor! Are you more comfortable with STEM skills than reading and writing? My STEM-focused students often tell me that my lessons get them to see these language skills from an analytical viewpoint, which helps them use their natural strengths on reading and writing assignments. My test prep curriculum also includes strategies you may not have encountered anywhere else.You are the key to your own success, and together we can unlock any achievement you can imagine! If you want a tutor who listens to you, cheers you on, and shares school-proven strategies to enhance your learning, I am the right tutor for you.Basic Info: I graduated from Knox College in 2011 with a B.A. in Secondary Education. I have worked in the classroom with gifted students, students with learning disabilities, adult learners and English-language learners, so I have had the opportunity to hone my teaching skills to meet many different needs. Currently I am teaching 8th grade U.S. History in Oklahoma.

Jessica

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +51 Subjects

I graduated from The University of Rhode Island with a BA in Political Science and a Minor in Psychology. I earned an MS in International Communication from St. Johns University. After working for several years, I am changing careers to Speech-Language Pathology because I enjoy working with people and using clinical applications of psychology, language, and communication to help others to find their voice. I am passionate about learning and communication, and the role that psychology and language play in the learning process. Since high school, I have tutored elementary through college-level students in a variety of subjects (primarily liberal arts.) Everyone has a unique learning style. As a tutor, I identify and utilize study techniques that each student feels works best for them. When a student is not sure how to approach a subject, I gain their perspective and guide them through breaking down the material into manageable sections. My ultimate goal is to enhance a students learning experience as much as possible. Learning is a two-way street, and I love when students give me the opportunity to learn from them as well!

Leslie

Arithmetic Tutor • +24 Subjects

I received my undergraduate degree from Florida International University with a degree in Hospitality Management. I worked in the private sector for several years and became interested in education after my first child was born and we discovered he had a disability. As I researched disabilities and ways to help my child understand the curriculum, I discovered that I could help other children and I pursued a M.Ed, in Special Education. I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with my M.Ed. in Special Education (General Curriculum) and was hired as an Autism teacher at the school where I completed my student teaching. I am now in my third year of teaching were I have worked with a variety of disabilities. My philosophy of teaching is simple. A classroom is not a "cookie cutter classroom", where one size fits all. As a special educator I must adapt the curriculum to each student, taking into account the diverse population of a 21st century classroom. I do this first by getting to know my students as individuals, taking into account their backgrounds, interests, goals, academic strengths, personal needs, and abilities where I can then focus on how they can best access the curriculum. I enjoy working with all subjects in the elementary curriculum however I am drawn to Math and Language Arts where I can employ research-based strategies that incorporate multiple means of representation that best fit the individual needs of the learner. Some of these strategies include a multi-sensory approach to students who struggle with reading and developing number sense for younger students in math. My personal interests outside of teaching are reading, hiking, and cooking.

Watching a student achieve their goals and flying past them to achieve even more is one of the privileges of being a tutor.

I am able to teach to any exam criteria or just to improve skills for work or personal development.I specialize in all aspects of English, both written and oral. I believe that learning should be an enjoyable experience. This is true whether you are 10 years old right up to being an adult.
