Spelling Tutoring for 2nd Grade

I have been teaching in Tennessee for 23 years, specializing in 2nd and 3rd grade subjects. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, a Masters in Education, and a +45 in Education. In addition, I am a certified professional educator. My goal as a tutor is to make learning relevant and engaging for my students. I will celebrate their successes and encourage growth in areas where they may struggle. As an experienced teacher, I believe that effective online learning begins with strong communication, patience, encouragement, and excitement. These strategies ensure that students are engaged and motivated to learn. Outside of teaching, my personal interests include reading, spending time watching my boys play baseball, and soaking up the sunshine. These interests greatly influence my teaching style and methodology. I believe that making learning enjoyable is key to helping students thrive. Whether we're reading a book together, playing a game, or exploring a new concept, I make sure that my students are having fun while learning. I can't wait to share this same excitement with your learner and help them reach their full potential!

Hi, my name is Keith, and I am excited to start a learning journey with you! With 11 years of experience conducting tutoring sessions for elementary and middle schools, I love helping students achieve and exceed their grade level for reading and language arts. My goal is to create an engaging environment where you will feel excited to learn. To make our online sessions stimulating, I tailor lessons to match your interests and work in some learning games along the way. In every session, we will set goals together and keep track of progress, making sure you feel proud of every achievement. When I’m not teaching, I’m usually at work or playing tennis, or reading a good book, or cheering on my favorite college and professional football teams. I draw inspiration from my work, family, and hobbies to keep our discussions engaging, bringing real-life experiences into our lessons. Get ready for an exciting learning journey filled with creativity, challenges, and academic goals you WILL achieve!

Additionally, I use both formal and informal strategies to assess for understanding, ensuring that each lesson is effective and beneficial for my learners. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy bowling, participating in 5K runs, and hiking. These interests inspire my teaching style and methodology as I always encourage my students to never give up and to always believe in themselves.

I have been teaching for 8 years, and in that time I have had the pleasure of working with learners in Pre-school, Kindergarten, and 1st grade. I have my BA in Elementary Education and have taught in the South region. To make online learning fun and engaging, I use silly voices, games, and screen sharing to keep my students interested and motivated. I also make sure to use questioning and encourage students to explain how they arrived at their answers to ensure effective learning. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing with my kids, reading, and visiting family. These interests have influenced my teaching style and methodology, especially having my own kids in similar age groups as my students. I understand the importance of making connections and creating a comfortable learning environment for kids, and I strive to do that in every session. I can't wait to get to know you and your family, and help your kids reach their full potential!
