Hello! Here I am constructing my first tutoring blog! I am eager and excited to tutor you and get your from good to great!

When tutoring, I work with my students to find out how they learn best and what other skills could be introduced to further help them. My experience as a 6th grade teacher has certainly helped me discover many new ways to reach every type of learner! Hope to talk to you soon about your tutoring needs!

It's ChristmasTime!

Can you believe another year will soon be over? As we reflect on this years events and look forward to a bright new year, keep your childs' education in mind. There are so many opportunities we all need to take advantage of.

There are so many educational games, cards, books, and even dvd's that would make great stocking stuffers, events to broaden your childs' mind and time spent just talking. And of course, your weekly tutoring sessions!

During this free time between the holidays, I will be available and ready to work around your busy Christmas and New Years schedules...

SPED and Regular Education K-12

By Jannece C. | 4/1/2012 8:08 PM CST |

I am so excited that I found WyzAnt!! It has been wonderful! I have met so many new people and love helping work with my students to see them advance! I worked in the public schools for 7 years and loved every minute of it when I had my SPED Resource Room for Learning Disabled, Dyslexic, and ADD/ADHD students. I got to see so many young people better themselves and get passed that learning barrier to advance and become great students that even went on to college. That is what I am about!! I want my students to have the best opportunities that are out there! Just because your child may...

SOH CAH TOA

SOH CAH TOA

When working with Right Triangles in any Math and Science subject, especially Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Chemistry, and Physics, many problems can be solved by remembering this Memory Jogger:

Indian Chief SOH CAH TOA (sounds like soow caah towaah)

Angle = A

Sine A = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Cosine A = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Tangent A = Opposite/Adjacent

You can use these formulas to calculate and find missing angles or sides to solve various problems.

Please contact me to help your student achieve the best grades possible in Math and Science.

As a Chemical Engineer, I work...

Cultural Bias in Online College Courses: This Inequity in Higher Education Should Anger Everyone

My emerging tutoring passion is assisting ESL college students with their coursework. Most of them must also hold full-time jobs to support themselves and often their families as well. Many require online courses to get college educations. They could not earn a college degree any other way.

Do textbook publishing companies realize how much cultural bias is written into their online ancillary (supplemental) materials? Do teachers of online college courses realize how hopeless these students feel about merely passing a class when their grades depend on online multiple-choice exams consisting...

London Bridge is In Arizona - False The Eiffel Tower is in Canada - True

By Angela C. | 11/12/2010 10:52 AM CST |

Geography

I ask my students a lot of questions. I want them to think. I also what to know what they know. I ask them if they know where their food comes from and who makes their clothes and shoes. I ask them about places and people. The answers are sometimes amusing and sometimes frustrating. The answer to question one above was in fact what the student thought ("This is a trick question, right?") but the second illustrates something quite different. I find that knowledge of history and geography are really weak. This saddens me a great deal.

I grew up in a homogeneous small town, from which I was...

The stakes are high

By Lakesha P. | 10/19/2010 7:40 AM CST |

"For a nation that proudly declared it would leave no child behind, America continues to do so at alarming rates." Wow- if that statement alone doesn’t make you scratch your head and get to thinking. Click the red “x” on my page now!

I know that every parent isn’t able to pay for private education. If so, I would be out of a job. But in spite of all that, you can still help pull the c- kid up to an A+ plus student. Even that diggling low D kid can be helped to get it up on the books. Heah really! Kids are the future of our country -Do you trust your kids to run it? In my family, I’d say 3 of...
