A Little Bit About Me...

I have aided many of my friends throughout high school and college with writing, editing and general English knowledge. In addition to helping many of my friends and classmates I also edited countless pages of my own work in a great variety of subjects. I graduated Cum Laude with a degree in English after taking courses in various fields on the subject. I received high marks in class ranging from general rhetoric to creative writing, as well analytical literature courses.
I attempt to not only show students when a mistake has been made but teach them how to better avoid those mistakes in the future, as well as teaching them to better catch their own mistakes.

The Student Comes First

I am a graduate of Tennessee Temple University, with experience tutoring at Tennessee Temple University, as well as University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, in various topics, including biodiversity, mathematics (up to pre-calculus), history, and American Sign Language. I continue to study in my personal time as many topics as possible, with the belief that a good tutor is firstly a good student.
I allow my teaching style to mold itself to each individual student, finding methods of communicating the information that best suit the learning style of my student. I favor a holistic approach to learning, believing that education should be of the whole person. If a student learns how a skill in his tutoring session can be applied in real life, then his or her perception of the subject may fundamentally improve.

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach at the intersection of affirmation and discipline: I believe in celebrating student learning and creativity, while also taking knowledge—and students—seriously. My experience in a summer camp setting has taught me to meet each student where they are and co-create unique strategies for success. I believe in teaching the value of dialogue and cross-disciplinary thinking, in addition to helping students learn academic material and skills.
As a student at Rollins College, I had the opportunity to serve as a peer mentor to a group of first-year students. I also worked in the writing center and as an editor for a literary journal. My studies in anthropology and experience writing an honors thesis on homelessness taught me to think critically and holistically. I have worked as a summer camp counselor for teenagers (June- August 2008 and 2009) and then as co-director of the camp (2 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Substance Abuse Program Case Manager, I conducted psycho-educational group sessions related to addiction/recovery issues and worked in a juvenile’s detention/commitment program. In adult corrections, I facilitated Addiction Treatment Counseling and Life Skills groups. When I worked in the foster care system, I taught Independent Living Skills to youth who were transitioning out of the system. All of these positions required extensive record-keeping duties and demanded strong writing skills.
I consider myself an empathetic and patient teacher of children and young adults. I believe that all children can learn and that it is incumbent upon the educator to strive to find what motivates the individual to achieve greater heights. To this end, the teacher must be a communicator who appreciates the importance of meeting the pupil wherever he is academically and help him to better und ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My students never doubted my love for them. They know that I am a serious instructor who knows when it's time for laughter and play. I have been known to expect so much from my students. That's because I recognize each and every one of their abilities and capabilities. I believe children have the ability to soar if someone just tries to see their potential and allow them to reach it. My philosophy is quite simple...in my classroom I maintain firmness, fairness, and consistency. This philosophy has always worked extremely well in the classroom with my students and I. They know the role I play and what I expect, and likewise my students know what to expect of me. I believe as an instructor that I have the ability to make a remarkable change out of the lives of many, but if I can reach at least one student--then, I have done a job well done. My students can honestly say I am striving to mak ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I attended Columbia University in New York City, graduating in three years with my BA in English. There, my passion for books and writing reached new heights--and, I realized I wanted to share my passion with others through teaching and tutoring. Columbia's core curriculum also gave me the chance to pursue other academic interests, such as calculus, chemistry, social psychology, music and art humanities, and Eastern cultures. I attained my secondary teaching certification last December and gained valuable experience working with students in the classroom as a mentor and student teacher. In addition, I have worked as a substitute teacher, summer camp counselor and director, and girls basketball coach in the past four years.
For me, meaning is at the heart of what it means to be a teacher. If what I am teaching means nothing to my students, then I can expect them to retain very ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

First,I show my students I deeply care how they feel about learning. I help them identify their blocks to learning and success and help put them at ease. I know how to adapt my style to the particular age I am working with. I am very patient. I know proven strategies to help students master basic skills and more complex skills, using their style of learning. I will recognize pretty early on their zone of mastery, and capacity to cope, so they don't get too frustrated or too bored. I will use whatever modality I can find (creatively and safely) to help bring understanding. I am a cheerleader and am excited when students gain mastery of a topic that at first seemed overwhelming.
I have worked with children and youth pre-school - 12th grade since 1982. I have done some literacy instruction with adults. I have been recognized as an outstanding mentor to disadvantaged youth. I ... read more

Currently, in addition to being a small business owner in the community, I'd be delighted to further my passion for education and service as a tutor.

In my doctoral program, I am specializing in working with students with special needs and disabilities. Therefore, I strongly believe that every child can learn, but I realize that different children learn in different ways. I have learned and have experience implementing strategies and techniques to enable children to learn. I am very patient, easy going, and considerate, and my goal is to always provide children with the best education possible.
I first began my love of teaching and tutoring children when I was a senior in high school. As the president of my school's National Honor Society, I began a tutoring program that enabled elementary and middle school students to be tutored by high school students.

At Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL I was part of the pre-law program and studied current political issues.

As a member of the Flagler College Writing Staff, I revised student papers and tutored students in developing effective writing techniques.

Of my 175 students for the 2007-2008 school year, 85% made a 75 or higher on the final exam. I have also continued learning new strategies by taking many continuing education workshops and remaining up-to-date with education standard ... read more
