Tutorials Available
I hold three Texas state educator certifications. I am certified in English (8-12), English as a Second Language (8-12), and Special Education (8-12). I have teaching experience in all high school English subjects, specifically concentrated in Advanced Placement (AP) English Literature and Language. Based on this experience, I am particularly qualified for the tutoring sessions listed below.
Middle/High School Homework Help and Prep
These tutorials would include lessons especially prepared for English enrichment for grades 7-12. If your student needs extra help or a preview of the work coming up in their next grade level, I can prepare lessons to make them comfortable with the rigor they will experience in the upcoming school year. If you feel your student has gaps in learning or would love for them to come into the next grade level more prepared for their assignments, I will assess their reading levels and work to improve their reading and comprehension of appropriate grade level skills and vocabulary.
Advanced Placement (AP) Prep
For students looking to complete the AP courses in English, I can provide preparatory lessons for the upcoming school year. I will overview the structure of the test, provide enriching materials, assess skill levels and determine needs for our lesson focus, and focus specifically on an introduction to AP writing and analysis. These tutorial sessions should provide a firm foundation for preparation for their AP exams and extend lessons they will be provided in their AP coursework at school.
SAT/ACT/TSIA Prep
These sessions would be test prep specific. SAT/ACT is oriented toward high school juniors and seniors looking to take college entrance exams. TSIA is necessary for community college admission or dual credit program work. I will create specific lessons centered on testing strategies to use for these exams.
Adult Education
These lessons would be oriented toward personal goals for the student. As a global citizen, I believe that communication of any form is effective as long as we can ascertain meaning. I believe these lessons could provide opportunities for students of English to practice academic English without judgement. I could also prepare lessons for TOEFL specific test preparation.
International English Help
These lessons are created around personal goals of the student. As a global citizen, I believe that communication of any form is effective as long as we can ascertain meaning, so I am very adaptable for new English learners. I believe these lessons could provide opportunities for students to converse in English without judgement. We can work on conversational or academic English. I can also provide lessons for TOEFL specific test preparation.
