We speak to each other on a daily basis and understand what is being said. Now, imagine that we actually "see" each spoken word with our minds, that we visualize each word. Then, take each visualized word and put it on paper. Now the challenge is to know how to spell each word ... a challenge which is actually like preparing a recipe: once you know the ingredients, you are able to prepare the meal. I invite you to review my Tutor Profile for a more detailed description of my background and philosophy. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and helping you improve your English spelling sk [more]

Hi! My name is Leslie . I am a former elementary school teacher and tutor. I have a Masters in education and a multi subject teaching credential. I have also been a nanny for many years in the past. I absolutely love kids and to teach them new things! One of the things I love about tutoring is to see kids minds absorb new concepts and when that ?lightbulb? goes off.

I have over 20 years' teaching experience in Elementary Education and Adult ESOL classes. I have taught in Florida, California, Hawaii, Minnesota and Washington State. My students like to learn with me because I have a lot of patience and like to see them succeed.

I like to use analogies of situations I think the student is familiar with... [more]

Students learn spelling skills most consistently through the basics of graphemes and grapheme awareness. This means that students wether they are native or non- native speakers must have the ability to understand the connection between the letter and the sound or series if sounds connected with that specific letter. Once a student has this level of mastery, the student, with the help of a teacher, can build spelling skills through more mastery of suffix, root words, compound words, and affix understanding. These skill sets in conjunction with phonics enable both new readers and adult readers o [more]
