I have a graduate background in Urban...

...and professional, in education makes me the ideal candidate for anyone seeking help to improve their skills in English writing or reading. When I taught freshman English at Southern Connecticut State University, I worked closely with college freshman to help them transition from high school to working at the university level. Many of them were first generation college students coming from low-income homes. I, myself, came from a low-income home and know firsthand how intimidating...

I began tutoring two years ago at Rockhurst University, and I grew to love working with students one-on-one to help them succeed academically. One of my main goals in life is to make education and literacy something attainable and worthwhile (and fun!) for all people. In addition to my tutoring endeavors, I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, watching (an re-watching) all of my favorite T.V. shows, reading, writing, and exploring Kansas City.

...from Rockhurst University. I graduated with a BA in French/Education and I have an ESL certification. I have worked with kids in tutoring and mentoring since I was about 16 years old. I know how frustrating it can be to not understand something while it is being taught in the classroom. As a result, I can connect with most of students pretty well. I let them know right off the bat that they are not...

...saying, good practice, we will keep working on this, and going to the next point. In lots of events, the thing that confuses them may become clearer through more examples of it, or from a different concept allowing the difficult to manage concept to "click". Focusing on one issue a student isn't grasping causes more harm than good when it causes the child to become so frustrated that they simply shut down and stop trying...

...something that is valuable for everyone, and that accessibility to education depends on the different person. I've been in education and training for the last ten years, and teaching both middle and high school for the last five, and I know that it takes more than one way to teach a person to know whether or not they understand what was told. I think this is an essential part of learning and actually understand what...

...in a school. I work with kids from K to 8th grade. I graduated as Elementary teacher with endorsement in Special Education in Universidad Autonoma de Madrid in 2019. Right now, I am studying a Master's as Spanish teacher as a second language. I don't like to teach my students in one only method/style. Teachers should adapt themselves to students necessities. That's why we need to mix techniques/methods/styles in order to get the best from...

...similar. Identifying your student's reading and leaning level as well as his or her learning modality or style is always the first step. After that, in helping my students, I take a very inquiry-based approach to tutoring, creating leading questions that force the student to find the answer themselves rather than simply being given the answer from the tutor. I do this for two reasons. The first is critical thinking skills and probing questions such...

...for seven years. My first teaching experience was at Mizzou. After getting my master's, I joined Teach For America and taught high school English for two years. Most recently, I taught composition and developmental English at Penn Valley Community College. My approach to tutoring is non-directive.

While I am fascinated by the natural world, I also have interests in other fields, such as literature, philosophy, and foreign languages. One of the reasons I like tutoring is because it allows me to use what I have learned in such fields to help others gain confidence in and become excited about a subject. I especially love to tutor in French, which...

...approach to teaching, wherein the student's needs are the focus of all educational activities. In order to transform information into knowledge, a learner needs to make sense of facts; in this way, the learner builds on his/her knowledge in a way that is applicable, meaningful, and useful. I also think that all children deserve the opportunity to learn in a nurturing, safe environment, where they are valued and cherished- regardless of cognitive ability. I have...
