A Little Bit About Me...

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

Do my best to help the rest

I have a five year experience over which I learned different students' techniques of learning and understanding the curriculum. I have developed better methods of explaining things to students who couldn't understand the topic. Through God's help and my tutoring, my tutees' grades have nearly doubled and reached over a 100.
I love helping the students reach their full understanding of the topic in easy ways.

My teaching style centers around the idea that every kid learns differently. Some understand pictures better some words. Either way someone learns, they stay focused through fun, enthusiastic teaching. Ironically I believe its not always a childs intelligence level that holds them back, its often more the attention the receive from teachers and the style that they filter through. With that in mind, I believe in empowering students to believe in themselves and get excited to achieve goals they never have before. I'm passionate about helping people become who they're made to be and that defines my style best.

As my experience at college drew to a close, I found that the most rewarding activities I participated in were centered on education. I am a lifelong learner, and I love participating with others in the learning process. I set a relaxed atmosphere that fosters the students drive to ask questions and seek answers. I am comfortable with taking control of a session and speaking throughout (Lecture) or allowing the student to come up with their areas of difficulty and ask questions (Synthesis). I believe that educators frame the future of the young people they contact, and I want to help others as I have been helped in the past. I also would like the opportunity to learn by doing, and see if this field is the one for me.
As a college student, I was convinced early that I would become a doctor or scientific researcher. About halfway through my college career, I decided that while scienc ... read more

I enjoy finding out a student’s area of difficulty and address it directly. Students have different learning styles, it easy for me teach in a variety of styles so that to make sure my students understands. I do also apply almost everything I teach to real world situations, for example most young students may think that learning about triangles will not benefit his/her career in business. As his/her teacher I will show the student how one can use triangles to determine where to built a manufacturing company equidistant (meaning the distant between each raw material supply place to the manufacturing place is the same) to three raw material supply areas, which are not in the same place.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more

Through my work with elementary, high school, and college students, I understand the anxieties that often surround math, science, and high pressure assessments. In tutoring and in the classroom I work to develop individualized scaffolding to build the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to successfully engage the material. As a great fan of history, art, politics, and athletics, I strive to make all my sessions as interdisciplinary, dynamic, and "real-world" as possible. As a result of the above elements in my teaching strategy, my students are often engaged and successful, even beyond the time frame of the tutoring sessions.
Over the past ten years I have been a student (BS), an engineer, a teacher, and a student again (MS, PhD). My interests in education have led me from the high-need classrooms on Chicago's West side to Vanderbilt's Peabody campus to engage a PhD progra ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated with a bachelor of arts degree and had the opportunity to work with young children while employed at my university's child development center. This allowed me to gain experience with children and learn different cognitive abilities of a diverse group of youngsters. I have also worked with elementary students who are overage for grade and needed help with reading. I have learned writing skills, technically and creatively through research papers assigned through my institution of higher learning. I am experienced in reading comprehension and would love to broaden my horizons to other areas that can be helpful to an array of learners, such as English and grammar.
I love helping children build the foundation for learning through reading. It is so rewarding to see that those who once struggled in reading can progress to a much faster reading speed and reading level. I am pas ... read more
