My comments on tutoring Testing Strategies : I have a PhD in Educational Leadership, a master's in English, and have taught at a four-year university and a two-year college. I have also worked with HS students in college preparation skills.

I believe in working with students, not talking at them. I ask lots of questions and make sure students retain the information and can apply it to the real world.
I have experience teaching at a two-year university and a two-year college, in composition, communications, and public speaking. I have also run an educational non-profit that works with students to set college and career goals. I hold a PhD in Educational Leadership. Education is my passion, and I would love to help local students excell!

More About This Tutor...

I have been an elementary school teacher for the past four years. I teach at a private school in Columbia, SC. I currently teach fourth grade, and pride myself at being a phenomenal math teacher. Teaching academics is extremely important, but also teaching character education is important also. When a student is proud of themselves, they can become self motivated and willing to improve themselves.
Hands on

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children and have a passion for making the future greater by helping our children be more successful. With a background in dance I have a very creative teaching style with a knack for discovering new ways to learn. I am a very patient person, which allows me to work well with any temperament. I believe children can focus better on learning if their teacher or tutor focuses better on how they learn. Anyone can be successful in their education with the proper direction.
All through school I have had a passion for learning. This passion continued into college where I earned two degrees from Columbia College. While earning two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Dance and Religion, I have gained knowledge in critical thinking through applying learning to life, English and grammar through writing papers and reports, and many daily skills acquired through general educatio ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a current PhD student desiring to teach at a college level, I am motivated to teach others the valuable skills that I possess. I have tutored college students over a month span and conducted training programs for over 250 employees at my past jobs. I have taught four staff members SAP Accounting system operations for the FI, MM, and GL modules. I have been fortunate to enjoy accounting work experience mixed with training opportunities to empower staff and work efficiency.
My teaching style is to provide verbal and written aids to students. I like to provide numerous examples and then allow students to complete a problem on their own. I am very patient and understand that my purpose is to provide assistance to my students and that my student's success is a reflection of me.

Over the past few months I have been involved with substitute teaching in Richland School District 2. Since being involved I have gotten very much involved in every aspect of teaching. I have been requested at serveral of the district schools because of the way I respond to being in the classroom and working with children of age grades and ages. I am very excited about being in the schools on a daily basis and plan to take things a step further and pursue a full time teaching position in the upcoming school through an accrediated university program.
I feel as though I am highly qualified and competitive for a teaching position because of my abilities to relate to children of all ages. As a volunteer basketball referee at Northside Baptist Church, Upward basketball program since 1998, I work with children between the ages of 7 and 13.

I love to help others to get ahead in life. I am a recent college graduate, so I can communicate effectively with younger students. While in school I worked full time and went to school full time, this has taught me how to use time management skills effectively. I have eight years of military leadership experience and I am currently employed by Wells Fargo.
Every student is different. It is up the instructor to identify these differences then tailor their teaching styles to what best helps the student. I believe that patience is the key and using positive reinforcement to create a positive learning atmosphere is the key to success.

I believe to be a good teacher you have to be creative, patient, challenging and persevering. I love working with students who have not had success in school and show them how to reach the goals they have set and taste success. I am good at pin-pointing what motivates students to achieve, and also give them the tools and encouragement to reach their goals.
In my ten years of experience as a teacher I have accomplished many things of which I am proud. My second year of teaching I was asked to implement a reading intervention program district-wide. After two years of that, I started a school within a school for at-risk students. The last two years of my career I helped to pilot and then implement single gender classrooms school-wide. Four years ago I decided to pursue my National Board certification. I have my MAT as well. In addition to these things, I also sponsored Bet ... read more

I just recently completed my first semester of teaching University 101 at the University of South Carolina. This course allowed me to find out how much I enjoy teaching. I like to be able to make a personal connection with the students and learn about their learning styles and much more. I feel like each person who is in a teaching capacity has the ability to motivate and help each child in the classroom. It is just up to each one of us to decide how much time and effort we are willing to put into each student. As for me, I am always willing to help each student reach their full potential, even if that means a little extra work from me.
I graduated with an M.Ed. in Higher Education and Student Affairs from the University of South Carolina in May of 2010. Directly after graduating, I began a career as an Academic Advisor in the Moore School of Business Undergraduate Division at the ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching and enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone. Everyone can learn and I believe some learn different than others. I believe in patience and different teaching styles. For some, hands-on techniques works better while for others, a traditional learning style along with dedication may suffice. Whatever the approach may be, a supportive and fun atmosphere helps enhance the learning experience.
As a graduate student earning a Master's degree, I have always worked very hard. In high school, I graduated with honors and throughout the journey of both degrees, I have always maintained at least a 3.5 GPA. I have always excelled in math. I enjoy reading and I would like to have an opportunity to shine that light on everyone through tutoring. I have tutored friends and family members for quite some time and I am currently tutoring.

I went back to college to pursue a career in education. While in college I tutored basic math skills to college students and worked with middle school students under a grant program called GEAR UP. I am in my fourth year of experience in the secondary education classroom. The trend now in SC is to hire only secondary teachers with a Masters level of education. Such that, I accepted a position as a teaching assistant to at least stay in education with the intended goal of grad school in the near future. I have experience and am able to tutor in all four core content areas. I am particularly interested in helping students develop and achieve good writing skills and improve reading comprehension.
I strive to work with each student on an individual abilities format. I believe every student with a desire to learn can achieve their education goals. I provide a positive learning environme ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I prefer to use a hands on approach to education. I like to have the kids get engrossed in the subject matter by reading aloud and taking part in discussion sessions. It is my belief that all children have the capacity to succeed in school with the proper tools. The tools that I provide are first and foremost, respecting the students without any bias. Secondly, I have worked with and have the capability of working with children of all ages. This allows me to relate to and effectively educate all students. A competent teacher makes a lasting impact in a child’s life which is why my favorite quote is as follows. "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." ----Henry Adams-----
I am adamant to maintain a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a B.A. degree in history and an M.A. in secondary education with a concentration in social studi ... read more
