A Little Bit About Me...

Learning is an awesome tool when you have the ability to understand and use it in your surroundings. This is my goal for every student. I've taught in many different ways: classroom, small groups, one-on-one, multi-level and specific levels in ESL. All areas are covered with my teaching style, which includes: reading, writing, grammar, conversation, dictation and everyday life skills. My goal for every student is to help them shine and reach their full potential in a fun and relaxed setting.
I have always had a passion to teach. I have been lucky enough to teach both children and adults. Before moving from Delaware to Atlanta, GA I taught kindergarten. It was rewarding and very fulfilling. When I lived in Atlanta I was fortunate to find an ESL position teaching children and adults. I was hooked! I've been able to utilize all my skills that I have learned from the University ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored as a self-employed tutor in French, and my student was ahead of her class for the beginning of the next year. I have also weekly taught two classes at two elementary schools in French. I have been to Québec, Canada, two of the past three summers, in which I had a great immersion to a degree in the language. Also, I have done some volunteer translations for Huntsville, AL; England; and Sherbrooke, Québec. French was my minor when I received my BBA in 2009.
I am rather easy-going, and am flexible in the material that I teach. Depending on the needs of the student, I can either provide a lesson plan each session or help the student with homework. I can provide references upon request when I am hired.

A Little Bit About Me...

I think all people are learners whether they are in a classroom or not. As a teacher I like to use hands on interactive methods that put the student at the center of the learning. I am patient and fun while still maintaining a professional decorum with my students. I like to find out why my students want to learn what they are studying and I like to challenge my students to learn because I think that a self-motivated student is the best kind. If students find the will within themselves to learn there is no way to stop them and with my help and guidance I believe they can reach their full potential as learners. Also I love questions! Questions are the seeds of learning.
I have most of my experience working with English language learners. Over the past year I have worked with English language learners that came from varied backgrounds such as, university aged Korean students, a ... read more

The first thing I do with any new student is identify his or her learning style so that I may incorporate those specific strategies into my lesson for an effective and personalized learning experience. My lessons are very interactive, and a main aspect is to nurture critical thinking. After setting up a situation, I will pose problems for the student to solve. Critical thinking is necessary in order to navigate foreign grammar and truly understand the material.
I began to realize my love and aptitude for tutoring as a volunteer Japanese instructor for the Daikin home-stay program in 2006. The next two years I volunteered my time with Rosie's International Services tutoring Spanish. At the beginning of the Spring 2008 semester, the Head of the Foreign Language Department, Dr. Maier, submitted my name to a tutoring department at UAH, where I worked tutoring Spanish, Japanese, Latin, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began tutoring at the age of 13. I was hired by the Los Angeles School District of California as an after school student tutor. Through out high school and college I was a member of several community service clubs that took part in community outreach tutoring in elementary, middle, and high schools. In 2001 I began working as an SAT tutor for the University of California, Irvine's Early Academic Outreach Program. I conducted after school (7th period) classes that included up to 20 students as well as individual one-on-one tutoring. In 2004 I was hired as an Educational Therapist working with a child psychologist and providing academic support for students with varying abilities. As an Educational Therapist for the Center for Learning and Behavioral Solutions I had the opportunity to work with children with ADD, ADHD, Autism, as well as other special needs. I have worked with children ... read more

I think educators must take into account the different ways in which students learn. For instance, I've noticed that math students may have difficulty adding and subtracting fractions, but have no trouble whatsoever when I ask about dimes and quarters. If an instructor can build a bridge between new material and material the student has already mastered, the student's retention can significantly improve. By getting to know the interests and knowledge of each, I hope to discover bridges that will make learning an exciting and enjoyable process.
I graduated from Wake Forest in 2008, double-majoring in Mathematics and Physics. I also took some courses in the Education Department, and substitute taught for public high schools and middle schools in Winston-Salem, NC and Metairie, LA. I have worked in tutoring programs for elementary school children approximately twice a week fo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a teacher it is my privilege to create a safe learning environment in which children are free to learn and explore. I believe that it is my responsibility to create lifelong learners by transferring my love of learning to students through a variety of activities and learning techniques. I strive to create child centered learning environments where adults serve as facilitators rather than dictators. It has been by experience that when given the opportunity, every child can learn.
My love for working with children is evident in my academic accomplishments and commitment to learning. During undergraduate school I worked for three years as a substitute teacher. In 2005 I graduated Cum Laude with a BS in Elementary Education. I then worked as a classroom teacher for three years in Florida and Alabama. My desire to improve my craft and my ability to serve my students lead me to co ... read more
