Fun Facts
I like like swimming, cooking, pictures of nature, 80's music, discussing education especially in low income areas. I especially liked doing private tutoring with that population. I also try to do some type of physical activity at least once a day. I consider myself to be very detailed. Every day I make sure to enter notes for myself on student behaviors so I can sense a pattern. I hope for the opportunity to get some type of student management training to be able to work with students in large
About Me
I have been doing private tutoring in math and english in grades k-6 for 8 years and have really enjoyed it. Several people have told me that I was doing really good tutoring their kids. Additionally, I have an MPH. Tutoring in low-income areas for 8 years has given me first hand experience in seeing the health issues in low-income populations. I would like to get some training to be able to eventually handle large groups of students. I would like to start with small group training first.
Experience
I have been doing private math and english tutoring for 8 years in low-income areas. Many parents have told me I was doing a good job. I saw myself as being very good at it. I was very detailed creating my lesson plans, making personal notes on students, and even went out of my way once to get some help for a kindergartner who wasn't learning.
Approach
I like to plan my own lessons based on grade level competencies. I also like combining concepts such as picking even numbers then adding them. Additionally, I use plenty of high fives as encouragement. Another thing I do is write down concepts step by step if the student is struggling to learn the material. I also like to make it fun using games with the younger set as well as relevant examples.

Writing Tutoring
I am constantly asking questions to get them to write more things. Additionally, I assist with sentence structure telling them to reword it so they are not stating the obvious Additionally, I have them rewrite the word if it's not written neatly. Sometimes, I use letter sounds to see if they can figure out the letter based on the sound. I also encourage them to use catchy titles and introductions as a way of attracting the readers.

I have been using MS Word for basic operations for 16+ years. This includes basic notes, document editing, basic letters. Additionally, I have used it to create tables for formal reports during graduate school. I have also used it to create templates for birthday cards and reward systems for students.

I also have them write down the date and what needs to be done on that date and save it in a folder with the relevant work so they don't forget. When session is done, I have them show me where they will put away relevant material for the next session.
