As the son of a professional educator and as one who has enjoyed both teaching and learning as a lifelong passion, I believe that education has an intrinsic value as well as its ability to set students up for future success. Growing up, I had mild cerebral palsy and was mentored by some wonderful, supportive educators who instilled in me a strong self-esteem and the value of an education. My fifth-grade teacher, told me one day after I was quite frustrated with not being able to do some physical activities with the other children "You may never be able to go throw a football and run, but you have a brain, use it!" With that as my premise I now want to encourage students to use what they have to be able to achieve their maximum success.I actually began my tutoring career before I finished high school when I, somewhat accidentally began Tutoring a fellow student in my health class. I soon found out that I truly enjoyed helping others learn. Since then I have tutored while in college and when I have worked in mid management in grocery retail as I would help the high school and college students as they prepared for various classes and exams.I hold a Bachelor of Arts in History from Sam Houston State University and have completed 34 hours towards a Masters in Family Therapy from University of Houston Clear Lake.My favorite subjects to tutor are English, History, Social Studies, Special Education, Government and Economics. I have taught inclusion students in 6th grade Social Studies and the special needs students truly seemed to build a special connection with me as I also did with them. I also believe that there are natural correlations between the remaining subjects Social Studies is the study of various governments and this is covered in greater detail once students get into high school and study US Government and Economics. History (be in world, or United States), reaffirms lessons of the previously mentioned 3 subjects as well. Furthermore, in all these subjects, good reading and writing bis a necessity.

Former high school teacher. Current English instructional coach. Part-time college instructor. After graduating college, I avoided my destiny and decided to go into the corporate world. After two years, I knew I could no longer outrun my fate; I accepted my first teaching position, and I have never looked back. I taught English I, II, and AP Literature and Composition during my tenure as a teacher. A few years ago, I was given the opportunity to leave the classroom and work with teachers. I work with our 26 high school English teachers to design and execute engaging curriculum for students. However, after a few years, I missed having my "own" students. I decided to put my Master's degree to use, and I began teaching Intro to Composition at my local community college. With my varied background, I am able to help students of all experience levels improve their writing skills and become effective communicators. I look forward to working with you.

My favorite thing about teaching is watching students achieve goals they did not think were possible. We are capable of so much, and I love helping students realize their true potential.

I received my MA in clinical psychology in 2016. I am currently working on my second MA in counseling. I have been tutoring for the past 2 years. I love tutoring students as it gives me immense pleasure to see my students succeed. Due to my educational background, my strengths include patience and being able to understand how each student processes information. This helps me in modifying my method of teaching to cater to the unique needs of my students. I am familiar with tutoring in subjects until Grade -4, which includes elementary English, Math, and Science. I also tutor in psychology. When I work with new students, I believe in creating rapport with them. This is important for me as it facilitates learning and also makes it easier for the student to honestly communicate their needs without the fear of being judged. I mostly work from the perspective of student-focused teaching and instructor-focused teaching depending on the topic being taught. I believe that active learning is very helpful for kids to gauge their level of understanding. Since I mostly work with elementary students, my teaching strategies include the use of videos, games, puzzles, crosswords, explanations, diagrams, and assessments. As a tutor, my strengths include patience (to help the student repeatedly and patiently when they reach a roadblock), adaptability (to change my teaching methods depending on the individual needs of the student), and empathy (to relate to the student, to understand their concerns and if required to motivate them to reach their goals).

Knowledge is power, how we obtain that knowledge is paramount to how we view learning, and school as a whole. As a former teacher who is now a practicing attorney with an MBA, I have a unique opportunity to tutor law, graduate, undergrad, and secondary school students in the various difficult subjects they need assistance with. In understanding the foundations of any subject, I am able to teach it in various ways that resonate with others, because not everyone learns the same manner or pace.

I am a recent graduate of Sam Houston State University. As an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant responsible for teaching chemistry and microbiology labs.

For example one child may benefit from visual learning while another student may learn best from a more hands on approach such as practice problems. I love helping students understand a concept that they previously struggled with. It gives you a good feeling to know that you have helped and could possibly have an impact on this child's or teenager's education experience. I absolutely love animals. I read in my spare time. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. If you feel that I'm the right tutor for your child, I'd be delighted to help.

Students are actively involved in making observations, collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing information, and drawing conclusions while developing useful problem-solving skills they will use throughout their life.
