Carpe Dieum...Sieze the day!

I have my Pre-K through 8th grade elementary education credential from West Virginia, California and North Carolina. I have also taught High School classes and worked as a guest lecturer for college level courses. I have 10 years of experience as a teacher and I have my administrative credential from CA. I have worked eight years as a school administrator at private and public schools.
Motivation is the key to everything we do in life. I use this to drive my students to excel beyond what they think they are capable of accomplishing. I utilized experiential theory and real-world experiences to drive my education to make lessons relevant, fun and interesting. I utilize the constructionist learning theory where I establish where my students are with the given subject and attach new knowledge structures to support continue growth where they build their overall schema and level of under ... read more

Learning is a life-long endevour.

I try to meet the needs of the prospective student, and teach them in a way that will be beneficial to them.
I have taught Spanish as well as tutored people in Spanish, music (guitar) and English composition. Also, I have some experience with teaching English as a Second Language. I taught beginning level Spanish to 8-12 graders for one year. I have tutored three different individuals in music (guitar) and love helping people to find out how to be creative in their pursuit of music. And, with English, I have tutored one individual with grammar and composition. I thoroughly enjoy writing, and have an eye for good writing.

I am a mother of 3 children who are all very successful students. My eldest will graduate a semester early from college this month. My middle child is a junior in college and my youngest child is a senior in high school who will be entering college next fall. I speak of my children because I have helped them whenever they have had problems with their studies. When my older two were in elementary school, I was a coach for their Odyssey of the Mind teams. I pride myself on my understanding of grammar and am very good with math as well. I tutored elementary school students as a part-time job in college and later tutored students in my son's class.
I understand that any child can run into problems with schoolwork. I try to find out why the child is having a problem before trying to help them. Did he miss something and fall behind? Is she simply bored with the subject? The approa ... read more

As tutors we must recognize their individual learning styles along with their strengths and weaknesses to help them succeed. Most children seem to learn best visually and kinesthetically. Through pre-testing, we can learn where the child needs to start instruction and to look for gaps in learning that often cause confusion interfering with their ability to learn a particular concept. We must most of all be patient to reduce anxiety which can interfere with learning and build a rapport with each child.
After receiving a B.S. degree in elementary education (1-8) and an ESL certification, I taught K-6 for 13 years. After that, I was a math consultant for one year. For the next 6 years, I tested, diagnosed, and wrote psycho-educational reports for students to see if they qualified for placement in special education classes and set up their individual educational programs. Later, I ... read more

The visual-auditory-kinesthetic or VAK method of instruction is a hands-on, child-involved method that reaches students with all types of learning needs. It is my primary teaching strategy utilized. I find it important to match reading material,(utilizing both student ability and interest levels,)to promote maximum reading success. I offer flexibility and much enthusiasm for each subject that I teach. I am a life long learner, as conveyed in countless ways to my students. I'm caring, kind, patient and understand my students' needs and abilities. I find it imperative to not only applaud my students' strengths but also to encourage the "weaker" skills that they possess. I have good rapport with students and their families as well.
The last six years I have taught using a most effective multi-sensory method of instruction for children with language-based differences, both as a fu ... read more

I believe that all students, regardless of gender, socioeconomic environment or ability, can learn and should be challenged with creative and applicable opportunities to achieve their best. Understanding that not all individuals learn in the same way, at the same rate or retention level, my responsibility as an educator is to create a safe learning environment that facilitates academic, social, and emotional growth that is developmentally appropriate. This enables those students entrusted to me to become active and contributing members of the community and encourages life-long learning.
I obtained my licensure through NCTEACH in Specific Learning Disabilities. I am Highly Qualified by way of Praxis exam. I have taught grades 6-12 in almost all disability identifications primarily math and language arts; however, have supported various other subject areas.

A Little Bit About Me...

Having taught high school in both affluent and underprivileged areas I strive to make sure that every student has a positive learning experience. My degree is a BS in Communication/Business with a minor in education. Language has always been my first love and I continue to take classes related to this field. The past few years I have worked in sales but I continue to tutor.
My philosophy has always been, "make it interesting and they will learn." However, what is interesting to you and I may not be interesting to the next person. Therefore, I listen to the child and figure out their learning style and interests. Only then can I properly teach and know they understand the subject matter. It is always exciting to see a Childs face when something clicks and they have that, "I understand what she is talking about moment."

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent graduate of Mars Hill College. I have my teaching license and specialize in grades 6-9. I completed my student teaching in Language Arts grade 7. At Mars Hill, I was a member of the Historical Honor Society and took part in tutoring students through this program during my Junior and Senior years at college. I also led many study groups for the Mathematics classes that I attended.
I am a very patient person. I believe that anyone can learn if given the opportunity and sometimes with just a little help from someone who is creative and passionate. I am energetic and I really enjoy a challenge. Above all else, I want to help students and make a difference. Every student should have the chance to succeed, in life and in academics. I look forward to helping the students that come into my life reach and exceed the potential that each one of them has.

I teach because I love children. It is very satisfying to help a young person with their studies. I have been in elementary classrooms from Kindergarten to 5th grade and feel comfortable teaching all subjects. I love teaching and excel at engaging students in their work.
My teaching style is to come from a place of respect and caring for the student. I will never strip a student of their dignity. I love teaching and relating to young people. As I work with a student, supporting and encouraging them, I help them move forward in ability and knowledge, as they become more competent and confident, gaining their own momentum.

A Little Bit About Me...

I strongly believe in allowing the student to learn through their own will and with their own techniques, I try to just be the vessel that allows them to get to this point. I have worked in Montessori type schools where learning is a self-discovery and a journey. I try to find a way to make the subject interesting in a specific way for the student to allow them to want to learn, and getting excited about succeeding.
I studied Art History at Florida State University, which required a number of essay and extensive seminar classes, which taught me different ways to complete 10-20 page papers. I have worked teaching children in many different environments, in a preschool, Boys and Girls club, and at their homes. I have worked with children all ages from one to fifteen, with language and basic math skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in listening and taking the time to figure out what works well and what doesn’t work for each student. I believe that people have many different learning styles and it is important to get to know the student in order to teach them well. I am very patient and comfortable with a diverse group of people. I also think that in order for people to learn, material must be presented so that the student can internalize the ideas and express the new ideas by reflecting on their life and their experiences. In order for many children to want to learn, ideas and educational materials must fit their identity so that they are not as threatened by them. Education should be fun; growing is a wonderful experience and children as well as adults can be re-awakened by it and motivated to be the best they can be.
