I have been writing for my whole life, and have a love of the art that is description. Since Mich of humanity's understanding is based on metaphor, description and its subtleties is a key part of any writing process, be it creative or instructional.My favorite form of writing is creative, however I also enjoy writing essays and other pieces based on fact. No matter what form of writing you endeavor to do, getting your point across through description is paramount. I have placed and won poetry contests, and have written many essays of undergraduate and graduate levels.

Have a secondary education degree from Jacksonville State University. I have tutored before and have had several substitute jobs. I believe in letting the student teach sometimes by being an active participant in the learning experience. I think students do better when they can see the material, read the material,and explain the material because it makes them retain the information.

Throughout my life I thrive to help others. I worked for Kumon Math and Reading Center and tutored many students from elementary to middle School. I believe no challenge is difficult enough to overcome. Questions are key to learn about subjects and I have a lot of patience to answer any question asked.

Admittedly, I have no direct (structured) teaching experience. However, I have nearly five years of experience in the journalism field, and during that time I've mentored a number of fledgling college and high school journalists. And while journalism and political science are my two specialties -- given that I have degrees in both -- I also have a fair amount of expertise in the tangential fields of English and History. I do not have a particular teaching style because I don't believe that a single method works for everyone. Therefore, I operate from an Occam's Razor perspective -- whatever is the simplest solution is the best. I believe I am very empathetic and perceptive, which would enable me to determine what works best for each student.

My teaching style varies depending on the students I am teaching. When I was subbing for younger students I made sure everything was hands on so I made sure they understood the class work. While I was completing my degree I started to substitute teach. I enjoyed it. And I would like to continue to provide a service to our future leaders.

As a mother and a certified teacher, I enjoy teaching, tutoring, and working with students of all ages. Through receiving my teaching degree, I recognize the importance of individualized instruction as well as the importance of maintaining patience with and providing comfortable environments for students. I enjoy assisting students reach and exceed their goals. I feel that the best way to help a student understand a concept, or subject, is to determine his or her individual learning style, interests, and perspectives. This type of instruction is not always practical in a classroom, which is why I began tutoring. All students have the potential to succeed, and I am here to assist you or your child in achieving that success. With my degree and certification, I am highly qualified to teach students in grades K-6 in all subject areas. In addition to my degree, I received training for AMSTI a

I have 20 plus years of teaching experience. I have worked with students from pre-school age to adults. I have taught students with a variety of disabilities and functioning levels from severely impaired to gifted. Many students struggle with relationships and well as their academics. I believe in creating a safe, nuturing environment were a student is able to work at his own pace, at his own level, and feel a bond with his teacher. Setting realistic and obtainable goals with the student is a key factor to success. Measuring and documenting progress allows student, teacher, and family to see a visual record of growth. Addressing multiple intelligences and multiple learning styles are essential for struggling students. Finding a student's best mode of learning increases self-esteem and time on task.

For twenty-five years I successfully taught a comprehensive curriculum to elementary students (grades three through eighth). My areas of academic interest are: Language Arts, Mathematics and Social Studies.

As an educator I come endowed with a wealth of knowledge and firsthand experiences in various aacademic genres. I absolutely enjoy sharing that knowledge with all interested learners seeking to advance academically. My teaching style is interactive. I believe in fully engaging the student in the teaching-learning process. Students are more receptive to learning when they take ownership

I enjoy working with students of all ages, although most of my experience has been with middle school age and older. I use a couple of different techniques to help students understand math, including using visual aides, problem solving techniques, role reversal (where they explain a lesson to me), blackboard/whiteboard work, and games. I believe it's really the responsibility of the tutor to understand the student's learning style and adjust the teaching to fit the learning style. I have tutored students in math and science (mainly math) for over 13 years. I have helped students in various levels of mathematics - basic math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus. After working with me on a consistent basis (2/3 days/week) many of the students have received honors in their math courses, including "Most Improved" and "Highest Average". I am also proud to say that a couple

As a recent graduate, I have learned the importance of education. I have earned a Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology and minor in Chemistry. Not only do I contain a strong understanding in those subjects but took several classes in other areas to become a well-rounded individual. I dedicated my time most of my time to studies but I also took time out to participate in campus activities, as well as, participate in numerous volunteer programs. I received rewards for my dedication to tutoring and mentoring the youth in the inner city. I enjoy working, teaching, and mentoring children. I have learned to adjust to the different learning styles of children, which makes it easier for the child to feel more comfortable with learning. In order to work with children there has to be a great amount of patience and concern. I have learned patience through working with children from all walks

My desire is to help students reach their full potential. I make an effort to communicate with students, parents, and teachers to identify a student's weaknesses and assess their style of learning. I strive to make learning fun and enjoyable by giving encouragement and praise. I struggled in some math classes as a child, so I also seek to serve as an example that with hard work, determination, and dedication, academic success be achieved. Lastly, I am patient, kind, and enjoy working with students of all ages. I am a physician who loves to learn and wishes to help students achieve academic success.
