As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must

Highly qualified k-8 For 20 years I worked for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, as a fifth through 7th Grade classroom teacher. I taught all of the academic subjects in various combinations, sometimes all at once to a self-contained class. The State of Tennessee recognized me as "Highly Qualified" in all subjects, from Kindergarten through 8th Grade. I served on the district's math council for 5 years, helped direct the district's science fair one year, and worked extensively in the field of arts-based curriculum development. I also was trained in the IB curriculum, and implemented it for 10 years. Constructivist, multi-sensory, inquiry-based.

I am currently completing my final year at Vanderbilt Law School. Over the past three years, I have taught a class and provided one-on-one tutoring for students preparing to take the LSAT. I also taught an upper level course while in grad school (it was in radio production). While I was in undergrad, I spent time tutoring elementary and middle school aged children over the internet. All together, I have helped dozens of individual students in a private setting and nearly a hundred students in the classroom. Personally, I love numbers and have always been very comfortable with math. But my grades and test scores have always been just as strong in other subjects, and I am confident that I can help you or your child in any of the areas listed below.

I have been a substitute teacher and tutor for general education and special education students of the Williamson County School District. Before that, I was working with adults and students in a ministry environment back in Texas as a worship leader and music teacher. My education has centered around music, theology, and literature primarily (with a general exposure to various other sciences). I like to give students the tools and watch them practice using those tools for themselves. I encourage two-way communication.

I recently graduated with my Bachelors from the University of Tennessee. My degree is in English, but I have tons of experience tutoring in just about everything. The ages I have tutored most is older elementary, middle, and high schools as well as college. I can especially help prepare students for college and help them succeed in college. Since I am closer to the age of the older students, it is much easier for me to connect with the students as well as help them with their needs. Thanks for the opportunity and consideration. Heather

I enjoy teaching and tutoring children. It is personally satisfying to have an impact on the way that a child learns and progresses. I possess a teaching style that is adaptable to the student's needs. I like to give words or encouragement and praise to a student during sessions. It is important to me to reinforce the positive rather than focus on the negative. I believe one has to ascertain how a student learns and adapt or modify the techniques utilized to get a point across. The great thing about tutoring is that a student is not subject to learning in an environment that may not be working for him or her, therefore, the tutor's teaching style can be tailored to meet the needs and bring the best out of the student. I have tutored friends and family for a number of years before I ventured into a formal setting. I worked for Sylvan Learning Center in Franklin providing math and re

As a mind motivator, I am the dynamic teacher that students need in their lives. I love integrating technology, (i.e. PowerPoint, video streaming and interactive games). I understand learning styles and have high expectation for all students. The importance of knowing what motivates students can help me hone in on what students need. I am a hands-on type of teacher, but students only learn by doing, therefore, the preparation of activities based on abilities and learning styles can help student move to the next level. These key components to learning help me plan lessons that are fun and motivational. Teachers should take the time to get to know their student’s needs so that they can build trust, and give the student the educational food that they are entitled to. Education has played a major role in my life. I earned my degree in elementary education because I believe that everyone has

I have earned a Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice and a Masters Degree in Public Administration which has given me understanding that higher education is obtainable for all. I have tutored kids in Math, English, Government and Economics. I am excited to work with all children. I believe that children need different teaching styles to help them with their education goals. I am patient, enthusiastic and very considerate. My goal is to provide the best tutoring environment and help your child reach the highest grade in their subjects. I believe all children can obtain their highest potential with the appropriate surroundings and learning experience.

I have taught 5th and 6th grade ESL students for this semester, and I have taught English two summers in Korea at intensive English immersion camps. I have also tutored adult and college level students in English at UT while obtaining my degree and enjoyed it the most. Having quality one on one or small group time is the best for students to acquire the knowledge they need, and have instructors that can focus on their individual needs. Not only did I tutor students, but I also helped colleagues whose first language was not English with assignments and my college roommate who was from Taiwan. I enjoy writing and enjoy helping others express themselves in writing. I would love to continue helping others and become a tutor. People have all different manners of learning information, and most people need a lot of visuals and real life experiences, especially if their first language is not Eng

I love being a teacher and getting the opportunity to work with children every day. I understand that each child is an individual and is unique. Every child has their own strengths and weakness and particular learning styles. I believe in finding out what will work for each individual child to help them reach their full potential. I believe that learning can and should be fun and interesting and that a child should feel a sense of pride and confidence in their academic accomplishments. I am an Elementary School Teacher certified in the state of Tennessee to teach K-6. I have experience teaching 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade and I am currently a 5th grade teacher. I enjoy working with children of all ages in all subjects.

I started out doing nanny work in college. After graduating in 1998, I moved to Detroit, Michigan to pursue a career in language studies. I became the Language Training Director for a language services company. I supervised a teaching staff of 150 instructors who gave language instruction to businessmen and women who were relocating for business purposes. We gave instruction in language and culture, while providing relocation help to families who were settling in the US. In 2002 I taught American Literature and Conversational English classes at Oral Roberts University's University Language Institute. In 2003, I worked as an Aupair and tutor in Switzerland for 1 year.
