I recently graduated with my Bachelors from the University of Tennessee. My degree is in English, but I have tons of experience tutoring in just about everything. The ages I have tutored most is older elementary, middle, and high schools as well as college. I can especially help prepare students for college and help them succeed in college. Since I am closer to the age of the older students, it is much easier for me to connect with the students as well as help them with their needs. Thanks for the opportunity and consideration. Heather

I love helping children build the foundation for learning through reading. It is so rewarding to see that those who once struggled in reading can progress to a much faster reading speed and reading level. I am passionate about each one of my students and I believe each student's learning ability is different. I believe that each child is given equal opportunity that each student has the potential to do whatever they dream of doing. I believe my patience, personable, and fun loving spirit will help each student reach their full potential. I graduated with a bachelor of arts degree and had the opportunity to work with young children while employed at my university's child development center. This allowed me to gain experience with children and learn different cognitive abilities of a diverse group of youngsters. I have also worked with elementary students who are overage for grade and need

Through my work with elementary, high school, and college students, I understand the anxieties that often surround math, science, and high pressure assessments. In tutoring and in the classroom I work to develop individualized scaffolding to build the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to successfully engage the material. As a great fan of history, art, politics, and athletics, I strive to make all my sessions as interdisciplinary, dynamic, and "real-world" as possible. As a result of the above elements in my teaching strategy, my students are often engaged and successful, even beyond the time frame of the tutoring sessions. Over the past ten years I have been a student (BS), an engineer, a teacher, and a student again (MS, PhD). My interests in education have led me from the high-need classrooms on Chicago's West side to Vanderbilt's Peabody campus to engage a PhD program in e

As a college student, I was convinced early that I would become a doctor or scientific researcher. About halfway through my college career, I decided that while science was interesting, people and world politics were much more interesting. Now, with a BA in International Studies, I have greatly improved my skills in research, writing, public speaking, teaching, and leadership. My knowledge base is broad and deep, and I am comfortable with the subjects of: Natural Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Ecology), International Studies (Economics, Politics, Conflict), English, and Psychology. As my experience at college drew to a close, I found that the most rewarding activities I participated in were centered on education. I am a lifelong learner, and I love participating with others in the learning process. I set a relaxed atmosphere that fosters the students drive to ask questions and seek answe

As an English major at the University of Florida, I found a love for language learning and language acquisition; as a result, I declared Linguistics and TESL as additional majors. In these majors, I became quit ept at understanding grammatical principles and language learning theory. I began volunteering my knowledge to foreign language learners and found that I loved helping others learn. After receiving my BA, I began teaching writing and reading to native and non-native speakers at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, FL. As an English teacher, I also found other job opportunities at labs on campus and with private tutoring companies. One of the labs I worked in, the CLAST lab, also tutored math: college algebra, statistics, geometry, and logic. In this lab, I learned how to effectively teach math as well. In addition, I began teaching speed reading with a private seminar gr

My teaching style centers around the idea that every kid learns differently. Some understand pictures better some words. Either way someone learns, they stay focused through fun, enthusiastic teaching. Ironically I believe its not always a childs intelligence level that holds them back, its often more the attention the receive from teachers and the style that they filter through. With that in mind, I believe in empowering students to believe in themselves and get excited to achieve goals they never have before. I'm passionate about helping people become who they're made to be and that defines my style best. Graduating from Alabama with a BS in Finance, I have a strong grasp of math concepts. I finished with a 3.83 and excelled in history, math, computer, economics, and business classes. After graduation, I moved to China to work with college students in the non-profit sector a

As a mind motivator, I am the dynamic teacher that students need in their lives. I love integrating technology, (i.e. PowerPoint, video streaming and interactive games). I understand learning styles and have high expectation for all students. The importance of knowing what motivates students can help me hone in on what students need. I am a hands-on type of teacher, but students only learn by doing, therefore, the preparation of activities based on abilities and learning styles can help student move to the next level. These key components to learning help me plan lessons that are fun and motivational. Teachers should take the time to get to know their student’s needs so that they can build trust, and give the student the educational food that they are entitled to. Education has played a major role in my life. I earned my degree in elementary education because I believe that everyone has

I enjoy finding out a student’s area of difficulty and address it directly. Students have different learning styles, it easy for me teach in a variety of styles so that to make sure my students understands. I do also apply almost everything I teach to real world situations, for example most young students may think that learning about triangles will not benefit his/her career in business. As his/her teacher I will show the student how one can use triangles to determine where to built a manufacturing company equidistant (meaning the distant between each raw material supply place to the manufacturing place is the same) to three raw material supply areas, which are not in the same place. I have had experience as a teacher for 2 years. My employer was Metro Nashville public school and they certified me to teach mathematics to grades 9th through 12th.

Not only do I love teaching children mathematics, I am very passionate about it because without a good grasp on the subject their hold on other subjects will be shaky. Because I aim for my student to have a good foundation and be able to build on that, I have a style of using what is around the student to drive home a point. Not only do I know the philosophy of the subject matter, but I also know the psychology of it and consider it as crucial teaching it to my students. I have six years of teaching experience. Two years of which was before I went to the university to pursue a BEd degree in mathematics. Having been trained to teach mathematics, I got myself engaged in doing that the other four years equipping my students with the knowledge of this utilitarian subject. I have good enough control on grammatical skills. I have also two years experience in tutoring. Presently, I still do hom
