Read More About Colleen D...

I have a BS in Biology and Genetics from North Carolina State University. I have recently taken a refresher course in Anatomy and Physiology to go back to school for radiology. I have taken college level math courses through Calculus II, I have taken General Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, and multiple courses in Genetics. I have helped tutor in high school for the Chemistry AP exam and helped fellow students in college.
I believe in being hands on and visual, many students have problems in math and science because they are unable to visualize the words written in their books. I am extremly organized so that my time is best spent on the most difficult areas for each individual student.

I Want You to Believe in You!

I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn.
I like to use the Socratic method, mainly by asking questions and challenging assumptions. In addition, I like to engage those I teach, challenging them to think about what they previously have not considered. I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that my best teaching attributes are creativity and flexibility. I believe that all of us have different ways of learning, consequently, finding how an individual best understands is important to effective teaching. This teaching philosophy requires creativity and flexibility. If one learning avenue closes, with the student, I attempt to create a new approach to meet his or her learning capacity. Rigid teaching modes tend to stunt possibilities for discovery on many levels. In contrast, cultivation of a student's own insights into the subject matter bring on a sense of accomplishment, strengthening self-esteem and hopefully fostering a sense of fun and anticipation.
I have an educational background in biology, but also have developed strong English and writing skills during college, and since, through journal-keeping and creative writing. My degree at UNC-Chapel Hil ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my belief that every student yearns to acquire an education. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the instructor to find that spark and create a learning regimen geared towards that students specific method of learning. I tend to lead by example in an effort to relate to the student. I find that this method of operation creates a sense of willingness from the student, as well as establishes a sense of trust.
As a graduate from UNC Charlotte, I was blessed with the opportunity to earn a B.A. in English, as well as a professional certification in techncial writing and editing, which has afforded me both knowledge and experience in both journalism and technical media.

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and everything about it. I believe that anyone can tell you about a subject area, but I believe it takes a special person to be able to teach it to students. Not every student learns the same way. I like to include several different teaching styles to help every student have success. Whether it be lecturing, hands on examples, letting the students discover on their own through examples, using tangible items or practicing test skills I think I can include these different strategies to help each student succeed.

After earning my BS in Elementary Education at Western Carolina, I became a tutor, part time assistant in Jackson County Schools (as an assistant in two ESL classrooms-one at a high school level and in an elementary/middle school classroom) and as a Lowes Sales Associate part time. I later became a fifth grade teacher at Cherokee Elementary on the Reservation. This is my third year teaching fifth grade and my responsibilities include tutoring three days a week after school in reading and math, teaching full time all subjects including science, training for EOG administration and continuously attending workshops to gain skills pertaining to my profession.
My beliefs are that all children can learn, however, they must learn at their own pace and in their own way. This may mean being extremely patient and empathetic, not sympathetic, to their needs and using their strengths to build c ... read more

I have worked with students in all levels of elementary school through teaching as well as during my college year. Specifically I have been in classrooms of pre-k, kindergarten, third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade. I find the enthusiasm and thinking of students in upper levels very intriguing.

I enjoy working with children one on one. Allowing me to better understand their reasoning and thinking.
In my experiences I have found that children learn in many different ways.

I feel that it is very important to help a child understand that learning is a privilege and will benefit them throughout thei ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Each person learns differently. It is a primary responsibility of an instructor to find a method that will resonate and stick with the student to ensure success. Any student should be given every opportunity to find that internal gratification that only comes with mastery over a particular obstacle. That method of accomplishment, in turn, becomes habit forming. And as an instructor, little compares with the feeling when an idea takes root within a student.
I have extensive experience in academic work, specifically in the areas of math and science. In earning both a BS and MS in Materials Science and Engineering, I not only developed an understanding of mathematical and scientific principles, but I learned how to work and communicate in groups to further common interests. As a graduate student at the University of Washington, I served as a teaching assistant, leading both recitatio ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Among my many passions, I consider children and education to be two of my highest priorities. I believe that all children have the ability to learn, but each in different ways; and it is with patience and perseverance that a successful education can be achieved.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been an elementary/middle school teacher for the past 13 years. I have taught all grades 1st through 8th. I have a BA in Elementary Education, a MS in Curriculum & Instruction, and Ed.specialist degree in Brain Base Learning. I have taught and tutored students in Language Arts and Math.
I love teaching and working with all children. I have taught in the regular education classes as well as being an inclusion teacher where I had regular ed. students along with special needs students. I believe every child can learn...it is the job of the teacher to find the child's interests, level, and ability...and design a curriculum path for that child. I believe in a lot of hands on learning as well as challenging a child to the next level. I strive to make a difference in all of my students lives.
