Elementary School Tutor Nancy H. Green

Elementary School Tutor – About Me

I am a successful teacher with experience in Conroe ISD, Spring ISD and Klein ISD. Additionally, I have years of experience as a private elementary school tutor. My abilities include helping students meet their future challenges. This is possible because I am flexible, open to change, and willing to make whatever adaptations are necessary in meeting each individual student’s learning needs. I appreciate each student’s special and unique qualities. These qualities make me a great elementary school tutor.

To be a successful elementary school tutor it is important to have a balance of caring and firmness. Using positive reinforcement through specific verbal praise, and rewards for jobs well done encourage students to do their best. Having clearly set boundaries on behavior and privileges give students a sense of security.

Sharing and exchanging new ideas with my fellow educators keeps fresh ideas flowing. Participating in career workshops and seminars enhances my professional growth.

My co-workers describe me as open-minded, dedicated, professional and easy to get along with. My students find me considerate, encouraging, respectful, fair and understanding. I enjoy teaching. I hope you will contact me to talk further.

Learning Environment

Benefits of private tutoring are well documented. I feel students are most motivated to learn when they know you care about them. Keeping the environment as distraction free as possible helps students to focus better. Treating each student as an individual and letting them know you believe in them helps to establish a positive connection. Talking to the student’s parents and other teachers when possible helps me get important information that will help me to know their individual strengths and challenges.

I believe it is important to be a model of what you expect. I encourage students to ask questions and  tell me if they do not understand something.

I look for opportunities to positively reinforce good behavior and learning as much as possible, being specific about what they did right. I  handle all situations as calmly, positively and professionally as possible.
