Mrs Helen B. Tutor Profile

Tutor Personal Information

Name: Mrs Helen B.
Gender: Female   Age: 51-65
Tutoring Style and/or Experience

I earned a degree as a Reading Specialist from Georgia State Univ. in 1991. I taught Remedial Reading (9 yrs.), first grade (1 yr.) and sixth grade (2 yrs.) in the DeKalb and Fulton County, GA Schools. I was a stay-at-home mom, taught pre-school for five years and worked as a substitute teacher prior to that.

I always begin with an assessment of a student's strengths and weaknesses. Every student wants to be successful, so I begin by building on what the child knows. I also try to determine the student's dominant learning style; visual, auditory or kinesthetic, and gear personalized instruction to that. It also helps to have a sense of humor!
