My comments on tutoring Desktop Publishing : My undergraduate degree is in Visual Arts with a concentration in Graphic Design and Photography.

I have taught 5th Grade Math and Science, 3rd Grade, 2nd Grade as an Interventionist, Kindergarten, and most recently Advanced Math and Language Arts / ESOL/CIVICS in and Adult GED/HiSet program. I have the ability to motivate and light the fire of interest in my students by incorporating in my teaching full emersion projects. Using an approach that fully immerses my students in the subject they are learning gives them the opportunity to learn firsthand instead of being merely a receiver of information. I call this approach “Walk a mile”. I have used this approach in many of my student teaching as well as substituting experiences. For example, in a second grade class that was learning about reading maps I became Pirate Scary Sherry and took the students on a treasure hunt. I dressed like a pirate and told the students that I buried a treasure somewhere in the classroom. I made s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of Bryan College with a degree in Music Education, having taken many education classes and completed a semester of student teaching at the elementary and high school level in Rhea County schools. My prior experience in teaching comes from over 5 years of teaching piano lessons to beginning through advanced students from age 4-adult. While at Bryan, I was a tutor for music theory students as well as assisted and edited English and literature papers and essays.
I have a great love of teaching and guiding young people in their academic studies. My approach to teaching or tutoring is open and involves as much personal encouragement as I can. I believe it is essential for the student to have a desire to learn in order for retainable education and it is essential for the teacher/tutor to encourage this desire as much as possible through teaching practices and activities.

I am currently pursuing a MS in Teacher Education while working as an intern in an elementary setting. I have an Interim Teacher License. Through my coursework in college, I have gained skills in several areas such as math, science, reading, writing, and psychology.

A Little Bit About Me...

For the past ten years I have worked in central Mexico. My responsibilities there included learning Spanish and teaching by lecturing, classes, home studies, and children's clubs. I love to teach children and adults who are motivated to learn. In Mexico I have taught English to those wanting to learn the language. I have a good understanding of the Spanish language and can speak and write Spanish fluently. I also know English and computers very well. Before working in Mexico, I worked as the Computer Department Manager for over eight years, where I handled programming and computer maintenance. I am well acquainted with the Microsoft Office Suite since I had to teach the secretaries in the organization how to use it.
I have learned as a father of a home schooler that children learn in different ways. Some subjects hold more interest and are easier to learn. When students need to l ... read more

I enjoy seeing children learn new things. I know that every child learns differently. It is important to get to know the children that you are teaching and figure out what teaching technique fits there needs. I feel like I do an excellent job of portraying what I am trying to teach.
I have always loved children. Children are precious and all have very unique learning techniques. When I was a senior at Maryville High School, I taught Spanish to first graders. My partner and I were in charge of making lesson plans and fulfilling these plans for each class. I really enjoyed seeing the children get excited about learning.

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry followed by a Master's degree in plant pathology and have a passion for biology, math, and statistics. I have had lifelong leadership experience working with children ages 9 through 18, first as a camp counselor in high school and later as a tutor in biology, chemistry, basic math, and algebra. Several years into a research oriented academic career I began to miss teaching opportunities and have since sought a career change that will allow me to teach others.
I believe that each person should strive to find their calling in life and that a good education provides opportunity for each one to explore their individual passions and talents. It is through individual instruction tailored to the needs of each person that students are able to succeed. My goal is to guide students through aspects of the curriculum with ... read more

After graduating from the University of Miami, I taught Kindergarten, a 3rd/4th grade combination, 6th grade, and computers/technology. After having children, I transitioned to tutoring students, some with special needs including, dyslexia, auditory processing, traumatic brain injury, ADHD, and others. For the last 4 years, I have been a Reading Resource teacher, working with students in phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension. In my current job, I work with students in Kindergarten through the fourth grade. My students enjoy their time with me and have all improved their skills significantly. I am also well respected by my supervisors, principals, and my peers.
I enjoy teaching children how to learn and enjoy it. I believe all children can learn, but each in their own way. Learning styles vary and I believe it is important to use a student’s strengths to gain academic ... read more

I am passionate about education and ensuring that children can grasp the concepts that will make them successful later in life. In say this, I believe that all children have the capability to learn, just not necessarily in the same manner. Through my years of experience in teaching, I have learned to adjust styles to fit the needs of the student. I utilize positive approaches to learning, and have found that visual approaches really cement the data being related to the student.
As a Dual Master's degree graduate, I was very driven to achieve a level of excellence in education. I have earned two associate degrees, a bachelor's degree, and two master's degrees, which has given me a broad spectrum of experience in math, science, grammar, and business. During the last six years, I have taught college-level courses for Columbia College, and have tutored numerous students from elementary ... read more

While completing my undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering at University of Idaho, I was often called upon to tutor people within the building where I lived during college. I also was employed by the University to grade papers and offer assistance to underclassmen in the Chemical Engineering department. From this experience, I have gained both the knowledge in math and science and the understanding of how to use different approaches with different people to deliver the lesson. I have tutored in English, math and science.
I believe learning is about confidence. I have seen numerous students doing poorly in courses because they were convinced that they were not capable of learning the subject matter. Small successes help to build confidence in order to move on to the subsequent challenges. I believe in starting with the basics, and making sure that the students truly gras ... read more

Over the course of the past 10 years I have spent time working with students struggling to develop their academic skills, particularly in the areas of language arts and the social studies. From my initial work as a foster care academic transitions liaison,to the attainment of my M.ED., my broad service as a classroom teacher, department chair and A.P. program coordinator, I have been fortunate to work with students from across the broadest possible ability spectrum and have learned to sow the seeds of confidence and success in learners of all competency and motivational levels.
Due to my experience with a broad range of young learners, each working at a different academic and or cognitive pace, I follow a modified Socratic approach to both my classroom and one on one instruction by placing the emphasis on the student as we identify areas for growth. I then sculpt an academic progra ... read more

First I would like to get to know the student and parents, focusing mainly on the student's interests and goals as well as how they feel about the particular subject they will be tutored in. After that I would have the student show me where they currently are in class and what they need help with. Then, depending on the particular circumstances, I would create a plan to get the student caught up and self-sufficient as quickly as possible. Even though fast results are what I hope for, the student would set the pace of the sessions. No topics would be overlooked and they would all receive as much time as the student needs to master them.

More About This Tutor...

I have always felt compelled to help others achieve their dreams. I graduated with a bachelor's in psychology and began working at a residential alcohol and drug treatment facility for adolescents. There I assisted the education personnel in tutoring our clients. I helped our kids with math, science, and English, at all levels of education. My work experience in this position and in the positions that I was promoted to enhanced my writing skills, interpersonal relationships, and attention to detail.
My teaching style is specific to the individual child and their needs. When I worked at the residential center, I had to teach alcohol and drug awareness classes. During that time is when I learned that encouragement, patience, and a variety of methods are essential to a child's academic success. A child looks to the teacher for the effective skills and tools to accomplish their ... read more
