I have tutored many years in Calif., but have not done so since arriving in Madison, TN. I have Canadian credentials, but the JD enabled me to quickly acquire a college position in Nashville. I taught English, which is my major from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. I know I am an excellent tutor, having taken several children from D's & F's to B's and A's. I have a reputation for being a lot of fun, as I play both guitar and piano and am quick to arrange little ditties to help kids remember rules - especially grammar and punctuation. I am a fun teacher and enjoy tricking students into learning. I have developed games, songs, and various devices which attract attention and result in learning, regardless of whether the student even notices. I have a knack for revising sentences or instructions to captivate attention which encourages the student to answer or start writing im

As a current MBA student, I have been successful as a writer and achieved a level of high excellence on various research papers for my current graduate school education. I have assisted several graduate and undergraduate students in grammatical skills and in creating class papers and reports. I am a grant writer and researcher and many of my grants have focused on various subject matters. I have tutored students in English, history, and the arts. I believe in teaching each student as an individual. When preparing lesson plans I try to find various avenues to accomadate all my students. I am an avid believer that every student can reach his highest potential if given the opportunity and tools to accomplish this goal. After teaching for twenty years in various states and situations, I have been helpful in creating and implementing lesson plans that have built the necessary skills nee

The model of students as empty vessels filled by professors’ pontifications has too long prevented the former from accessing their full potential as learners. When students are given the trust and challenge to handle material maturely, they rise to the occasion. This may be through discussion, Q&A, or independent assignment, as long as the student is given the opportunity to excel. An educator's responsibilities are to find which method that best offers students the chance to use their unique skills to succeed and then to make subject material relevant to one’s daily life and future. This develops accountability, drive for further education, and development of the student’s own inherent talents. A student thus taught is more confident in their achievements and better prepared for life in the classroom and beyond. Most high school students don't get the chance to teach their own geometry

For the past two years, I have served a mathematics tutor for 5th-8th grade students. Through my involvement with my fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated.,i have participated in various tutoring opportunities. I have worked as a GED prep tutor at the Martha O'Bryan Center, a high school tutor for students at Pearl Cohn High School, and a private tutor for a high schooler at John Paul II High School. East Academy is a multiple intelligence based school that makes learning adaptable based on the way students learn best. I feel that this individualistic approach is key to making sure that all students can achieve academically. I would say that my teaching style models this behavior and takes a more analytical approach to understanding the learning abilities of the students that I work with. I think a good teacher takes time to do diagnostic testing to see a students' strengt

Based on previous experience I have discovered that the same teaching style does not work for every child. I find that explaining each topic and asking the child question gives a clear indication of their understanding. Based on responses to the questions adjustments may be made to address each child's need. As the daughter of educators, I have been exposed to the education system all my life. As a result of this exposure, I became very interested in tutoring and teaching. I taught for two years as a substitute teacher before attending law school. I previously worked as a substitute teacher with Morrow Elementary in North Lauderdale, Florida where I taught test-taking strategies for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. Most recently, I have volunteered with Youth Encouragement services as a tutor.

Family & friends have expressed to me that my open-mindedness & clever & creative nature allow me to have an almost sixth sense-like intuition. Through the NCLB program, I put this theory to the test, & to be perfectly honest, I feel as if I lived up to this supposed “inherent capacity” to touch & better the lives of underprivileged, neglected, inner-city youth. As an educational activist, I REALLY, REALLY try to get & know each child on an individual basis. I want the child to become comfortable with me in their immediate environment: if a child cannot trust, respect, & admire his or her educator as a mentor, how can we truly expect the child to take his or her education seriously? Can we expect a progressive future if our children’s latent potential is never tapped into, & only remains dormant? I’m here to make that possibility less likely.

Upon completing a BS in Education (Dual Certification), I decided to go on for a MDiv in Theology. I was ordained a minister, and thus spent 40+ years teaching, counseling,and preaching. I feel that I have dedicated my whole life to teaching others. I am committed not only to religion, but enjoy teaching basic living and social skills. My wife and I have raised 2 children and I helped in their elementary school classrooms, upon occasion. Today, I help with our 5 grandchildren and assist in their classrooms at times. I have loved teaching and working with children and youth all my life. I worked for 4 years at Easter Seal Camp, helping with people of special needs; The YMCA, as day camp counselor, and upon entering into the ministry felt that I have been teaching children, youth, and adults for the past 40+ years. My goal is to help a person discover their gifts and potential and th

I hold a Bachelors degree in fine arts with a Painting emphasis and a double minor in Sculpture and Political Science. Both were received from Middle Tennessee State University. I was a senior member of the Middle Tennessee State University Student Art Alliance. I coordinated art exhibitions and judged works also planning gallery field trips and a tour of New York City to see the major art museums. I taught a semester as student teacher for the Model United Nations course. My home is full of art books new and old. I am an avid reader who studies new artists and believes in continuous study to hone my mind and craft. My life has been changed by art. As a child I took art lessons and learned that creativity is much more than making art. Creativity is a way to train your mind to think outside the box. Creativity can be applied to communicating and problem solving in many areas. I come from

I have been teaching and tutoring students of all ages for the last ten years. Having graduated with a BA in English, I have learned much about writing and the writing process that I believe could help students at all levels. I have tutored students in English, reading, science, social studies, math, music, and French. It has been said that no one rises to low expectations. I believe that every child CAN learn, but that the process of teaching each child must vary depending on their learning style. Tutoring gives teachers the unique advantage of having students one on one, and allows us to truly discover what methods work best for those students.

Educational excellence has always been a priority in my family. It was not something that was asked for, it was expected. I have a BS in Economics from Vanderbilt University and I have achieved many certifications in my professional career. I have been tutoring with a non profit organization, A to Z Tutoring for almost four years and it has been very rewarding. The majority of clients are social services clients and No Child Left Behind students. My main area of expertise is mathematics, but I have also tutoring the students in English, science, and other subjects that the client needs additional help. I have an adaptive teaching style. I know that everyone does not learn the same way and has different levels of understanding. Therefore I try to incorporate fun and innovative ways to teach children. I talk with the students to learn their interests and hobbies and try to incorpor

As a student in a system that strives for educational excellence, with a special focus on English and composition, I am quite adept at teaching the skills required for writing both as an extra curricular activity, and as a discipline. I took classes in high school education at CSU Sacramento, while I was working toward my bachelor's in English. I spent over 120 hours sitting in on elementary and secondary school classes, as a study. For two and a half years, I tutored students in math, science, English, social studies, reading comprehension, and writing. It's important to me to be part of the development in a child's education because once they are equipped with the skills I can teach them, they will find life in the real world easier. I believe that all children are capable of reaching the very highest level of competency, and that patience, understanding, and a meticulous hands-on

As my experience at college drew to a close, I found that the most rewarding activities I participated in were centered on education. I am a lifelong learner, and I love participating with others in the learning process. I set a relaxed atmosphere that fosters the students drive to ask questions and seek answers. I am comfortable with taking control of a session and speaking throughout (Lecture) or allowing the student to come up with their areas of difficulty and ask questions (Synthesis). I believe that educators frame the future of the young people they contact, and I want to help others as I have been helped in the past. I also would like the opportunity to learn by doing, and see if this field is the one for me. As a college student, I was convinced early that I would become a doctor or scientific researcher. About halfway through my college career, I decided that while science was

Graduating from Alabama with a BS in Finance, I have a strong grasp of math concepts. I finished with a 3.83 and excelled in history, math, computer, economics, and business classes. After graduation, I moved to China to work with college students in the non-profit sector and took language classes while there for two years. My teaching style centers around the idea that every kid learns differently. Some understand pictures better some words. Either way someone learns, they stay focused through fun, enthusiastic teaching. Ironically I believe its not always a childs intelligence level that holds them back, its often more the attention the receive from teachers and the style that they filter through. With that in mind, I believe in empowering students to believe in themselves and get excited to achieve goals they never have before. I'm passionate about helping people become who
