Mize Tutoring

When working with a new student, I first work to get to know one another. It is important to build a supportive and positive relationship with students. I share information about my background, interests, and education. I allow them to share information about themselves as well.

I then give them a sheet to fill out with their parent concerning what subjects they need assistance in. As well as install a good communication system with both the student and parent to correspond with homework or upcoming exams. 

I then outline my expectations for our tutoring sessions. It is important to share expectations so that students can apply themselves to their classwork. 

I have completed my General Education EC-6 coursework and both content exams to obtain my certification. I am only waiting for my internship to finish. 

I have a bachelors degree in Cultural Anthropology. 
I have worked as an educator for two years. 
I currently work as an instructional assistant at an elementary school. 

My base rate is $35 per tutoring session. I do not exceed 3 hours a week per student. I often do not suggest more than 45 minutes of tutoring for middle and elementary school students. 

I am available Monday-Friday from 5:00 PM-7:00 PM and Saturdays from 8:00 AM-12:00 PM.

I began teaching two years ago at a Museum. My interest in becoming an educator was sparked during my junior year in college when I was researching multicultural education. Since then, it has been my passion to be an educator and make a positive influence in kid's lives. 

I have experience working with grades K-8. 

One of my students started the year hating writing. With emotional support, positive affirmations, and intentional teaching practice, they are now beginning to enjoy the writing process. 

I feel so accomplished!

I am also about to apply to UTSA's graduate program to receive my Masters in ESL. I hope I get in!
