Beth Calvert - Certified Teacher

I am a certified Secondary Science teacher. I have taught in the public school system for sixteen years. I have taught multiple topics in science using various methods which include the following: direct, hands-on, inquiry, visual, audio and artistry. I promote learning through positive reinforcement as I believe a student is motivated more with praise than criticism. I believe in breaking down topics into their simplest form and then building on the concept until the student has reached a level of mastery. Although certified in Secondary Science, I have experience with all ages through tutoring all ages in all subjects.

A Little Bit About Me...

I was educated at UAB for a degree in Political Science and English. My English and grammar skills are impecable. I also obtained an MBA from UAB though my greatest business experience was actually working as a banker for fifteen years. I have a passion for helping youth through my church and have four daughters of my own.
I believe in teaching something until I see the "light come on". I don't take their word for it that they understand it. They must demonstrate to me that they understand it by working through the most difficult problems in the area that I am instructing.

I thoroughly enjoy working with children and youth and having a positive impact in the life of others. I am an advocate of civil service and believe in the importance of giving back to a community that gave to you. I find great satisfaction in utilizing my talent and ability to teach and contribute to society. I pride myself in being a life-long learner and thus my teaching style evolves as I gain experience. I believe that teaching requires the use of various teaching styles to meet the learning needs of a group, but tutoring involves a more direct and individualized teaching style tailored to the pupil. I look forward to learning about my student's needs to better help them learn from me.
I began tutoring at the age of 13. I was hired by the Los Angeles School District of California as an after school student tutor. Through out high school and college I was a member of several ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began to realize my love and aptitude for tutoring as a volunteer Japanese instructor for the Daikin home-stay program in 2006. The next two years I volunteered my time with Rosie's International Services tutoring Spanish. At the beginning of the Spring 2008 semester, the Head of the Foreign Language Department, Dr. Maier, submitted my name to a tutoring department at UAH, where I worked tutoring Spanish, Japanese, Latin, Chinese, and English as a Second Language until I graduated in Spring 2010. Although I do not have an education degree nor teaching certificate, I was hired as a part-time Spanish teacher at Austin High School 2010-2011, where I started an informal Japanese Culture Club.
The first thing I do with any new student is identify his or her learning style so that I may incorporate those specific strategies into my lesson for an effective and personalized learning expe ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

All children can learn, but it is my job, as a teacher, to figure out which learning style suits each particular child. Once you find that learning style, I always find that the students enjoy learning. Learning can be (and should be) enjoyed. I want my students to know that there is not just one set way of doing things. I am also a firm believer in positive reinforcement. I look for positive aspects in every student, and I praise that student for their hardwork and dedication.
I graduated Athens State University in 2005 with a BS in Elementary Education (K-6). After graduation, I became a substitute teacher for six months. In 2006 I was hired on by Decatur City Schools. I have taught kindergarten, first grade, and second grade for Decatur City Schools. I am currently employed with Decatur City Schools as an aide. I have also tutored children at The Dyslexia Clinic in Decatur. I ha ... read more

I graduated from Wake Forest in 2008, double-majoring in Mathematics and Physics. I also took some courses in the Education Department, and substitute taught for public high schools and middle schools in Winston-Salem, NC and Metairie, LA. I have worked in tutoring programs for elementary school children approximately twice a week for a total of twelve months. I have recently learned HTML, PHP, and Javascript programming languages, and am the designer and programmer for the Facebook application Harry Potter House Sort.
I think educators must take into account the different ways in which students learn. For instance, I've noticed that math students may have difficulty adding and subtracting fractions, but have no trouble whatsoever when I ask about dimes and quarters. If an instructor can build a bridge between new material and material the student has already mastered, t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was born to teach. From 10 years old I would teach my friends during summer vacations or whenever I could get them to play my favorite game, school, (Kids don't play school anymore). I enjoy helping students make the connections. I use a teaching approach that is hands on and generally seeks to find atudents learning style. I know that all children can learn, it is sometimes a matter of how they learn that becomes a barrier. I am very sensitive students need to feel empowered, hence I seek to teach the students skills that eventually lead to not needing me or any other tutor.
I am an individual driven by the desire to learn. I have a Master's in Education with a triple major, certified to teach two of the three. I am currently pursuing a second Master's in Curriculum Instruction and Development with an emphasis in technology based instruction. I have over 15 years of exper ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I personally believe that every student has the potential to succeed. Having a positive outlook and attitude along with a sense of humor in everyday situations allows me to provide students with room to be creative and independent and to make each tutoring session more enjoyable. I strive to raise the bar because I know that each student can achieve the level of expectation that is realistic for him or her, thus developing a confidence tool that creates a safe, positive learning environment. If students are given coursework that stretches them without paralyzing them, they will approach new assignments with more enthusiasm.
I am working on my Master's degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. I am taking classes at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and Alabama Agricultural & Mechanical University. I have been practicing tutoring since my undergraduat ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love to help children learn! It is so rewarding to see the reaction of a child who suddenly understands what he has been trying to learn. I try to help my students build confidence in themselves by helping them realize that they do have the ability to learn. I want every child to know he is loved and special.
I have always wanted to be a teacher. I began tutoring while I was still in high school. I earned my BS in Elementary Education in 1980. I have tutored students of all ages in different subjects. Most of my tutoring experience has been in math and reading. I have tutored students for all sections of the Alabama High School Graduation Exam. I have been a homebound and home-school teacher, as well as a classroom teacher.
