Geography Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Abbeville, SC

Engaging with the student and getting them interested in the subject is of the utmost importance. If they do not care, they will not do well. Which is why making the student attracted to the subject is my first step. Once engaged, we can have fun with it. I also believe the most successful student is a hands-on student. That is why I will work with the student step-by-step until they can do it on their own. In high school I was a student-tutor. I spent three summers in Vacation Bible School at Millbrook Baptist Church in Aiken, South Carolina, where I got plenty of experience dealing with children. I am currently enrolled at the University of South Carolina Aiken, where I am majoring in Secondary Education with a focus in Social Studies. I am a hopeful High School teacher.

I graduate with my BS in Middle Grades Education on Dec 20th. I am ceritifed in Math and Social Studies and will seek my certification in Language Arts in Jan 2013. I just finished my apprenticeship at a local Middle School and loved every minute of it. I seem to be closer with the students that struggle and need that extra special help. I think each child has a different learning style and once you find that they enjoy learning. I like to keep students active and do different projects that they can be creative in doing.

My tutoring style is somewhat laid-back with serious undertones. I feel the best way to learn is to not have information force fed, but to allow the individual to glean knowledge and come to an understanding of the subject gradually. While I am serious about learning and education, I also consider my sense of humor my strongest personality trait. I believe being able to interject humor into learning is often times crucial to the learning experience, as long as it comes second to actual learning. I have a Bachelor's in Computer Science with focus on the Microsoft languages (C++, C#, ASP, dotNEt, etc.) The requirements for this degree was heavy in math. I do, however, feel better qualified in verbal and writing skills. I also have a minor in Philosophy and Theology. This ties in with my High School and middle school upbringing, having attended a Catholic middle and High school as well as t

As a philosopher, I have what amounts to an unusual ability to convey to a student a sense of the value and importance of the subject he or she is studying. This is key in motivating any student. As a teacher, I am a careful student of the psychology and abilities of my student. To teach effectively, one must determine precisely where a student is developmentally both in terms of personal psychological maturation and intellectual skill levels, then go from there. Another key to effective teaching is the ability of the teacher to break complexities down into simpler, digestible units, then show how the units may be logically and effectually brought back together. I am a doctor of philosophy from a top ten university, Emory. I have fifteen years teaching experience from grades K through college undergraduates. One of my two required doctoral languages was Latin, which I have taught full

As an educator I love to help children succeed at things that seem difficult to them. I have a double major in early childhood and elementary education. I have found that this degree is very helpful in providing me with the knowledge of where my students are coming from and where they need to go in their education. I am passionate over teaching the elementary curriculum of ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. During my years of tutoring I have helped students in all of these subject areas. I am familiar with what is required of the South Carolina State Standards. I am also currently seeking my masters in administration and leadership. I am a very active teacher that loves to get children moving in order to help them think at their best level. I am patient, passionate about teaching, and easy to work with. My goal is to help children take a positive attitude toward learning thr

Children energize me, and I thrive on working with students and helping them learn. After almost 30 years of teaching, I have learned that each child has their own individual strengths and weaknesses. I try to encourage them in their strengths in order to help them in their weak areas. I also try to determine their particular learning style and make learning rewarding for my students. All children deserve a quality education, and my goal is to help them make the most of their academic career--to enjoy learning and become a lifelong learner. After a rewarding and successful career as a fourth and fifth grade teacher, certified in SC and GA, I have recently retired, yet still have a passion for teaching boys and girls. My experience has been in top rated schools with high academic standards. I have taught all subjects, mainly in fourth or fifth grade curriculums. I am familiar with Stat

My teaching style is one of excitement and enthusiasm. I am passionate about the material I teach, and try to convey this excitement to my students without being annoying and over enthused. In the fields of physics and mathematics, I prefer to use analogies and easy to understand examples to help students learn specific principles and to help show them the big picture into which their hard work fits. I emphasize students taking pride in their work and steadily gaining self-confidence. As a mechanical engineering graduate from Penn State, I have vast experience with the principles of physics and mathematics. As a junior and senior in high school I tutored students in algebra and trigonometry. In college I tutored students in my own physics classes as well as volunteering my time as a tutor for engineering students in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, basic electrical circuits, and h

I love that look that you get from a child who gets what you are teaching them. When the light bulb turns on, and you know that they understand the process. That's what makes it all worth it. My teaching style is that with enough work, any child can succeed. They just have to know they matter to the teacher. I am a hands on learner myself so visual tools help me to teach the concepts to students. I am a graduate of Clemson University, with a BA in Biological Sciences. I have always enjoyed biology since my first AP class my Junior year of high school. After college graduation I worked for six months in a cancer research lab, which gave me the knowledge of "real life" science and how that effects our lives I have worked as an after school and summer camp counselor which has helped me learn how to relate to them, and teach them material they are learning in school.

I believe that all students can learn. It is the teacher’s responsibility to teach the standards in the way that the students learn, and to create a nurturing environment for the students. Over the last four years, I have spent countless hours working in classrooms cultivating my ability to meet that responsibility. I have spent time working with students from many different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. I understand that every student is unique and has unique needs, but they are all able to succeed with varying degrees of help. The teacher must be ready to provide that help when necessary and to teach every lesson in a way that embraces all three of the learning styles. I was home-schooled until the sixth grade with my three brothers. I completed junior high at a private school and then graduated Salutatorian from a public high school. My parents operated a small day care th

I student taught in second grade and had a wonderful time incorporating technology, hands-on activities, and team projects. Academic Assistance Plus as allowed me to create simple, but detailed lesson plans covering phonemic awareness, simple math, and money. I believe in maintaining a positive and effective environment. Creating lesson plans that are engaging as well as challenging is extremely important in a student’s academic development. My main focus, as a teacher, is to provide a safe environment for my students to express themselves and truly be comfortable with their peers. Every activity and lesson plan incorporates hands-on activities, working with peers, and incorporating real world events with eve

As a liberal arts college graduate, I was educated in multiple subjects, with a focus on the importance of integrating curriculum. I have earned two bachelor degrees, one in Visual Arts and the other in English with Academic Honors. Being an English major, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing and editing four years worth of literary and expository research papers. I have experience tutoring students from elementary to college levels in English and literature, music, visual arts, mathematics, social studies, and history.

With a background and experience in education, I have had the opportunity to work with students with different learning styles and have been able to apply different teaching techniques to customize the students' needs. As a role model, I like to make an impact in every student by communicating a passion for knowledge and education as a way to setting and achieving life's goals. I believe that knowing and understanding the world in which we live help us to adjust and take advantage even of adverse situations. My passion is education as a means of transmitting knowledge and experience to future generations. I have been in the education field for many years and have worked with preschoolers, children, teenagers, and adults.
