Best Tutoring By Far.....

I started tutoring students middle and high school prior to graduating college. I have taught part-time college students at various institutions since 1996. I also have worked as an independent tutor part-time. I have more than 30 years of experience teaching as a one-on-one tutor and as a college instructor. I currently teach at Wake Tech Community College. I have taught at Strayer University, Campbell University, Mount Olive College, Durham Tech Community College, Central Carolina Community College and Vance-Granville Community College. I have worked with 3 other tutoring companies: University Instrcutors, Advanced Learners and WyzAnt.
I enjoy teaching any age student, but more than that I get satisfaction when that student attains their goal. I believe in using the Socratic method of teaching and allowing the student to get their own answers rather than just telling them. I seek ... read more

"He who opens a school door, closes a prison." -Victor Hugo-

Currently a sophomore in High School, I'm looking to tutor up to around the 6-7th grade levels. I have very much experience in science especially. Currently in biology Honors. Math, Science, Civics, and Art are my main specialties. For a cheaper rate, I also love to teach art. Also language-wise. I have a year of French, as well as a semi-year of Spanish that I can teach beginners, perhaps give them a head start on what is to be in High School. Lastly, I’m fairly understanding in test preparation and strategies even so keeping organized.

Let's learn and Have fun while doing it!

I am here for you. All I aim to do is ensure that your child understands the work they are doing, and teach them a much easier way to comprehend what they are attempting to learn. As a child it can be hard to relate to the work at hand, and as a teacher it can be very complicated to break down the learning material so that the child may understand the lesson. I am here to make learning fun and easy so that grades may improve and education is achieved.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to involve children in learning exciting and useful information. I use many different ways, sometimes just talking and gleaning what is on their minds, then planning learning experiences that address these topics. I strive to reach all of my students as they try to gain useful information.
As an Exstension Safety Specialist, I have had the opportunity to provide youth and adults with needed information to effect a positive change in their lives. Many of the programs involving these clients were requested by the recipients based upon their needs. It was my responsibility to develop various ways for them to reach their goals.

I have always found that the best teachers are the ones who are able to explain the same concept in a variety of ways, so this is what I seek to do when teaching. I also attempt to not only teach a student how to do a problem, but also to gain a "big picture" view of the concept being taught; i.e., I want the student to be able to not only apply the concept to problems of the same type that he/she does in homework, but also to related problems that he/she might not have previously seen.
I have always been gifted in mathematics, and I feel that is is my duty to help others achieve the success that I have. I earned a BS from Bucknell University in mathematics and I am now working towards a PhD in statistics at NC State University. I have taken education courses and I have worked with professors to run "gifted and talented" mathematic courses for students.

More About This Tutor...

I have been a counselor in the public schools for the past 16 years, both at the elementary and high school levels. I have tutored students in many subjects; ranging from 3rd grade math to advanced algebra to US History.
I am able to diagnose weak points in the student's knowledge and remedy those weak points so that the student is better able to have a full understanding of the content. I believe that most academic difficulties come from small gaps in knowledge and a misunderstanding of how parts relate to the whole.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all children can do well at school if they are taught correctly. Every child learns differently and it is the job of the teacher to find the style that works for the student. Some students use verbal cues to learn while others visual, hands on or a variety of other approaches. The better we teach the children today the better the future is for everyone.
For the last 3 years I have worked as a Full time teacher for Brevard and Port St. Lucie counties. I have taught all subjects in including reading, math, science and social studies. My first year I taught Middle school reading which included one advanced class , three on level classes and one below grade level class using a program called Read 180. Before I was a teacher I tutored peers in school and elementary students. I have a BA in Psychology an AAS in Business. I have many certification include Prk-3, K-6, middle grad ... read more

I have a heavily arts-based education and teaching background. I taught for a year in an inner-city school teaching creative movement and dance technique. I have artist teacher training from the Lincoln Center Institute for Arts in Education and have been in-residence at several schools working with children by using the arts as the window to learn their academic curriculum.
I believe it is vital to approach each child with an open mind concerning their learning style, pace, and interest in various subjects. I use tools such as movement, song, rhythm, and sounds to open up a different path to understanding subjects like math, science, grammar, and many others. I believe giving children a bodily experience to relate to their academic learning allows for much more growth and it reduces frustration with themsleves when they don't understand lessons only taught through lecture or w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always been interested in teaching. I have taught for a couple of months as a full-time teacher in Franklin County's Middle School. I have been doing part-time voluntary tutoring for the last three years teaching math, physics, chemistry, computers, and foreign language. I also participate in National Engineer's Week conducted by IBM in which engineers go to different middle and high schools and teach kids about the latest technology fields in engineering, and the importance of gaining a higher level of education.
I love to teach and I get excited when I help a student whose performance was bad before I started teaching him/her but significantly improved after I started teaching them. It is very enjoyable for me and currently I just do it voluntarily for part-time. However, the best thing I like about teaching is that you are shaping the future of young children and helpin ... read more

I see the role of the educator as a pivotal element in not only academic success, but social and cultural success as well. Therefore my teaching skills often incorporate pockets of knowledge from various disciplines. I also believe that the role of the teacher can also mirror the role of the student, as both teacher and student can learn from each other. I believe that children should be given the necessary tools that foster intellectual curiosity, so as to sharpen creativity and independent thinking. My approach to teaching is not to just impart information, but to impart information in such a way that will lend for students to engage in questioning and realization of answers. Because after all, learning is discovery!
My academic and professional histories champion my lack of formal teaching experience. Upon graduating from NC State with Psychology and Journalism degrees in Dec ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have 20+ years of finance and accounting experience; which covers several organizations in the private sector as well as government. From 1989-1999 I was a Certified Bookkeeping instructor in the State Of Florida; teaching Adult Education. Finally, I possess an M.B.A. from Florida Atlantic University and an Associates degree in Accounting from Broward Community College.
Over the years I have found that the most effective teaching style involves not only encouraging student participation, but also to inject "real world" experience into the subject matter. This enhances and brings the textbook material more into focus; thus enabling the student to better understand the subject matter.

I enjoy working with children of all age ranges, and it is my personal goal to make learning a difficult subject less of a chore. I believe that having extra help can make a world of difference in academic success and increase the overall confidence and attitude in a child, as I am very aware myself, having had math tutors when I was in high school. My ambition as a tutor is to give your child the same enjoyment that I experienced in learning Chemistry and English. I am patient and dedicated and I strive for excellence—in my tutoring style I am open and willing to use different approaches to teach if needed. I ask questions and also try to tutor with a similar style to the student's teacher, which can be a critical tool during test taking.
Being a student at UNC Chapel Hill has challenged and inspired me to think creatively and achieve excellence in all areas of academia. As a seni ... read more
