More About This Tutor...

Education, teaching in particular, gives individuals the opportunity to give back what they have received. It is communication on a broader level than just simply putting forth information to whomever chooses to accept it. I started my career in education before I set foot on a college campus, through a peer-tutoring program in my high school. This experience allowed me to work with severely disabled peers learning functional skills for independence. Since then I have worked as an aide in emotional/behavior and multiple-disability middle school classrooms, as well as LD-resource, ED self contained and SC occupational diploma program. In addition I have earned a degree of distinction with the National Forensic League, been name a scholar-athlete in South Carolina and a host of other accolades in scholarship. I have experienced both urban and suburban school settings and have had inc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and am passionate about literature and art. I believe that all children have the ability to learn, and it's a teacher's responsibility to engage each student in the subject matter. I am patient, organized, and caring. My goal is to provide a constructive learning environment and have fun with the subject matter. I was motivated at an early age by an inspiring teacher to do my very best at my schoolwork. She had the ability to encourage her students through fun learning activities and confidence building. I aim to channel that memory and truly make a difference in my students' lives. I believe that there are never weaknesses in students, just challenges.
As a graduate of a prestigious University, I was challenged to get into the competitive program and motivated to earn a bachelors degree in the field of Graphic Design. I have always had a passion for art and literat ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was a peer tutor in high school for English and Spanish. I also tutored children in Hebrew at a local temple. In addition, I volunteered as a tutor for underprivileged children in Chicago in all areas: Spelling, Reading, Writing, Math, Language, etc. for grades K-8.
I love to work with children of all ages and genders. I have worked with children who have learning disabilities, physical disabilities as well as children of all ages, races, and genders. I attempt to make learning as fun and relevant to the child as possible as every child has varying levels of understanding and concentrations. I am extremely patient and can handle anything. I like to relate learning to childrens' lives (make it about basketball if the boy likes basketball, or about chocolate if the girl likes chocolate).

I love English, and am comfortable with literary theory, paper writing, literary research, and topic evaluation. I like to share this passion with my students and show them ways to relate to the material they are studying. I enjoy helping others learn and showing them how to use their abilities to excel. I am easy to get along with and encourage students to view learning as fun and interesting. I am able to explain things in a variety of ways depending on the student's personality, age and learning style. I hope to share learning techniques that students can take with them in the future. Overall, my goal through tutoring is to show a student that with self-knowledge and confidence, they can conquer any assignment with ease.

I enjoy helping students build on their strengths and overcome weaknesses in writing. I believe the key to a stimulating composition stems from the interest the writer has in the subject. Equally important is technical aspect of writing. Using a subject of interest to apply the rules of writing is the best way to shake writer's block and increase a student's comfort in English composition.
I recently finished my BS in English Literature at Towson University in Maryland. In the years I spent at Towson, I built a portfolio to include samples of my writing. I am interested in helping others build their writing skills to communicate creatively and effectively.

More About This Tutor...

I have 4 years of tutoring experience in a variety of subjects including reading, writing, math, science, and study skills. I have experience working with students of diverse ages and backgrounds, and enjoy helping these students excel in their education. I graduated from an Ivy League school with a BA in government with a GPA of over 3.8.
I love helping children improve academically. All children can realize success if given the opportunity and right tools. Realizing that all children learn differently, I employ a variety of teaching styles to help each child understand in his or her own way. I believe that all students deserve individual attention from a caring educator invested in his or her success, a belief that I encompass in my teaching.

I am a knowledgeable, experienced and well-trained educator. Students appreciate me because I am firm but fair and down to earth. Co-workers and administrators have described me as caring and creative. I have become highly effective in teaching strategies during 25 years of teaching. My formal education began in New York. At the time, writing was my first love, yet I had a strong desire to teach as well. I combined both passions by majoring in English with an Education minor, and earned my B.A. in 1984. I began my teaching career in New York and after relocating to South Carolina in 1998. I completed a Masters degree in Education at Columbia College, 2002.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always been a very driven and accomplished student, so I feel that I should use my gift to teach others how to become great students. My goal is to work off of the strengths of the students I tutor and build their confidence so that they will have a greater desire to learn. I am an excellent listener. I am also quiet and patient. I think that the best tutors show the students how to do the work, then give them time to try it on their own. I teach students to be able to become independent learners. I also focus on positive reinforcement. I have worked with children with learning disabilities and children from low-income homes and have helped them achieve their academic and personal goals.

I set high expectations for my students, and I set high expectations for myself. My strongest assets are my patience and ability to convey difficult subject matter to variant learning styles. I evaluate each student as a unique learner and measure success through achievement of desired outcomes. My students are successful because I prepare efficiently, deliver instruction professionally, and I believe in their ability to achieve their personal goals. I use positive reinforcement to propel the learning process. When students reach their goals, I have succeeded.
