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 understandi

As a liberal arts student, I was taught to pursue the bridge between science and understanding. My education has fostered in me an appreciation of learning, and a belief that comprehension is attainable through multiple avenues. If a student struggles by one avenue, then I believe it is my job to pave another. A student must be able to not only know an answer, but also understand how they themselves got to that answer. I strive to nurture a love of learning, and try to pass on that passion. I have ADHD and dyslexia, and as such have an understanding of the difficulties that a student can have when trying to learn. For some students, it is not enough to merely teach them, but they must be taught how to teach themselves. I earned my BS in Biology at a liberal arts school. My education has given me a scientific training that is bolstered with an in depth knowledge of the humanities. Through

I recently graduated from the College of Charleston with a MS in Environmental Studies. My educational emphasis was in plant ecology, which provided me with experience in botany, geology, and ecology. Furthermore, I specialized in statistical analysis of biological data. I have extensive computing skills in programs ranging from MS Office to statistical programs including R, SAS, Minitab, and JMP. During my time in the university system, I tutored students in biology, chemistry, ecology, and philosophy. During my graduate career, I taught six semesters of biology to non-science majors. Through this experience, I have developed teaching methods to attempt to reach students with a myriad of different learning styles. I truly believe that all students are teachable so long as the teachers are willing to continually assess the methods that work best at an individual level.

Since childhood, my hunger for knowledge has driven me to study and learn about almost as much as I possibly could. My high estimation of learning has often led me to help others to learn whenever I can. Always drawn to math and science, I pursued chemistry in college and received my B.S. from North Carolina State University in Chemistry in 2002. In grade school and high-school I was always looked to by my fellow students for help and explanation of many topics. This continued throughout college where I gained a job tutoring at another school and also worked at the study labs of NCSU. Science and math are my passions, but I can help equally with humanities. I begin teaching each tutee by first observing their own approach to studying, listening to their explanations and questions about the material, and indentifying their strengths and deficincies with respect to knowledge of the subject

I graduated summa cum laude from the University of South Carolina at Beaufort with a BA in English Language and Literature in 2008. Since then, I have worked as a tutor both in-school and online. During the spring of 2009, I worked as a 5th grade tutor in Language Arts and Math at a Title 1 elementary school in North Charleston, SC. Since the fall of 2009, I have worked as an online writing lab tutor for Smarthinking, Inc. I review and make editing suggestions for all types of essays on a time constraint. I currently serve as a volunteer for the Buncombe County Literacy Council, and I work with a man who is trying to pass the Writing portion of the GED so he can go to college. I believe in a direct, hands-on approach to learning. The main issue many children (and adults) face with learning new material is understanding how the information is applicable to them. I believe in contextualizi

I enjoy working with people and helping them gain the confidence to complete their assignments. Each person is a unique individual with inherent talents and skills, as a tutor I help to facilitate the use of these strengths to build confidence, to help the student enjoy the learning process and to help them succeed in academics and life. I absolutely love to teach, I love to see the spark when a student finally understands a difficult concept and the smile that comes from success! I have been teaching in some capacity since High school. During my diverse experiences working, traveling and studying, the commom denominator has always been my love and passion for teaching and education. I have worked with children and adolescents from infancy through college, and with adults as an ESL instructor.

My teaching style is based on the needs of each particular student, and, in cases where ability levels are varied, I find ways to use the strengths of each student to help the group as a whole. In my experience as a tutor, I have found that children often just need extra attention to thrive. Some of my most difficult cases, as a result, have become the most rewarding. My focus is on the natural abilities and creativity of each individual child and on fostering those abilities through well-organized and thoughtful instruction. The ability to learn and thrive is innate in everyone; it is the teacher's task to bring those qualities to the forefront. As a participant in a bilingual tutoring project, I thrived in connecting with my students and tailoring the lesson plan to their specific needs. I accompanied my students in the classroom, translated assignments from English to Spanish, and pro

After working with adults and my peers in Boston, I've come to appreciate how rewarding teaching is. I believe that not all students learn the same way and thus aim to be as flexible as possible with each new pupil in order for them to get the most out of our time together. This may include physical expressions of a concept, pictures, or well-organized notes gone over orally. People learn well through positive reinforcement and helping children feel good about themselves while learning will not only provide a strong foundation for self-esteem, but also promote a positive connection with knowledge for years to come. I hope to help shape the future generations to be as aware about the world as they can. Through the experience of pursuing my degree at Boston University, I was exposed to many different styles of learning and teaching due to my interdisciplinary concentration in Latin America

I have Bachelor's Degrees in English & Spanish, a Master's Degree in English, and am rated 'advanced low' on the Arabic Oral Proficiency exam. My Spanish training includes 42 college level credit-hours, as well as a semester studying in Mexico. I have tutored language for native and non-native speakers on high-school and college levels. I also taught the high school curriculum, including Social Studies, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Physical Science, English and Geography to a class of JobCorps candidates who had been failing students, many with special learning needs, and helped all of them to graduate with diplomas within 5 months. I am self-taught and proficient on all MS applications, plus HTML-, CSS-, PHP- and Java-based design.

I have taught both middle school and high school students, and I have extensive experience understanding how adolescents learn. I'm skilled at determining why a student may struggle with certain concepts/skills, etc., and can positively lead a student through a process of understanding based upon the unique learning style of that particular student. I believe in connecting the learner with the content in order to make the whole process real and relevant, not just isolated pockets of fact-finding. I do this by creating a non-judgmental, non-threatening learning relationship in an environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves. I determine what kind of obstacles a student may be constructing that can undermine his/her ability to be successful in the classroom. I pride myself in being able to help students discover their own best methods for overcoming roadblocks to learn

Before earning my master's degree in Higher Education from the University of Virginia, I worked with after-school programs tutoring young children on a variety of subjects. My passion for education stems from feeling like education always needs good people to help create opportunities for everyone. Currently, I adjunct a study skills success class at AB Tech and also do career counseling at UNC Asheville. I have both group and one-on-one experience and am also teaching Developmental English and Reading in the fall. In my college student success and study skills classes at AB Tech, I worked with a variety of students with different goals and ideas about education. For me, in both teaching and counseling, I aim to assist people in believing in the fact that they can succeed in whatever they want to do as long as they are willing to put the work into it. And most of the time, they are.

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.
