Carpe Dieum...Sieze the day!

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 understanding on a given topic. I utilize positive reinforcement and humor to keep them excited about the task at hand.
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 adm ... read more

Education is enlightening, enjoyable, and energizing!

I returned to school at the age of 47 to get my degree in history. My experience consists of tutoring from 1 - 60 students (in the same hour), teaching at Greenville Technical College, and creating my own tutoring service. I deeply enjoy all kinds of history and have a passion for teaching others. From my very first job (selling papers at the age of 11), I have used teaching as the medium for interacting with people.
I prefer interactive teaching, including audio, visual, and verbal.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an elementary school teacher in the Northern Virginia area and have been tutoring students for the past 2 years. I love my job and would not change it for the world. Working with kids every day is something that I not only enjoy, but helps me as well. I learn something new every day. Being a teacher has taught me that all students learn in a different way and you have to address the needs of individual children.
Different children learn in different ways. Some are visual learners, some are auditory learners and some are kinesthetic learners. I like teaching in whatever way best connects with the student.

More About This Tutor...

I have experience in all of the fields that are listed. Most of the skills I have acquired were either through learning them during my time at school or through doing personal research because they interested me. I have done some tutoring in the computer/i.t field as a side job. Chess has been one of my favorite things to learn. My experience with chess has been a regional tournament where I made it to the last-round of the semi-finals.
I am a very hands-on teacher. I try to help students by showing them how it is done and then letting them practice.

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.

As a graduate of Northern Illnois, and with currenty enrollment in NC Teach at Western Carolina a commitment to excellence in education would be an understatment. With twenty-one credit hours in education related course from Illinois, I wanted to further perfect my teaching talents by getting a Master's in Teaching through the NC Teach Program.
I teach in a style that relates to the students current conditions. Each lesson is tailored to bring reality, and importance to their lives while not challenging their autonomy. It is critical to get each student to understand the far reaching importance of historical events, and how they still effect today's atmosphere. I use various graphic organizers to break down each historical event we talk about, and candid discussion gaging the depths of comprehension.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is personal, active, topical and involved. The first assignment in every class I've taught has been for the students to write brief autobiographies. This helps me relate course material to their lives through relevant, and current, examples and analogies. My own belief in the importance of education has been demonstrated by service on the Board of Education in Watertown, CT, and my book proposal to have America's leaders in government,the arts, sports, science, education and business discuss how a special teacher greatly influenced their lives.

A Little Bit About Me...

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."
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.

More About This Tutor...

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 approach I take with the child depends on the answers to these questions. I feel it is important for the learner to understand that there is a reason for making the effort to learn each subject. In math, I like to assign the numbers and equations to subjects the learner likes, such as pizza, sports or music, for example. I also find it is beneficial to make references to the different careers one might use the knowledge learned in the child's classes.
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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style varies greatly depending on the needs of the student; however, I always try to meet the student first and then decide which approach will be the most effective. My philosophy of teaching revolves around the theory that a tutor or teacher's primary role is to support the student so that each problem can be solved by the student. It is also important to me to apply the subject at hand to the life of the student so that concepts hold meaning in an individuals life. I am patient and capable of working with students from all walks of life.
