Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Calvary, GA

I tailor my teaching style to the student. Throughout the years I have recognized that each student has a different way of learning and I make it my goal to adapt to them, to try to reach them in a way that is most effective for the individual. I have a strong sense of academic excellence and try to instill the core values of diligence, focus, and perseverance on each student. I also try to make learning enjoyable by providing real world examples and reasons for why we need to learn what we are required to learn. Even though my educational background is in science and math, I place significant emphasis on the importance of having good English grammar, writing, and reading skills and being generally well-rounded academically. I own my own science consulting firm and like to dedicate a certain percentage of my time to education and public outreach projects including teaching, mentoring, an

Teaching has long been a passionate calling of mine. I am motivated to help students of all ages to succeed academically and to overcome learning obstacles. I am patient, and simply cannot be discouraged in my efforts to make any topic understandable and enjoyable. Math is my particular favorite. I love seeing confidence grow in students as they build their math skills and discover that problem-solving is fun! I believe that every learning setting, whether in a classroom or a tutoring session, should be a safe place that is free from fear of failure. It's important to me to establish a good rapport with my students, and I find this generally comes naturally because I truly care about their success. I have a B.S. in Computer Studies and have spent the last 19 years as a computer programmer. I have great tech skills, including the Microsoft Office applications. I am proficient in Mat

A graduate of Florida State University, I initially started out teaching children and their parents about good eating habits at the Health Dept. I wanted to partake in the school system, so I began teaching as a Title 1 teacher. I was teaching small groups of individuals that needed some extra encouragement to thrive in the general education class. I loved teaching so much that it inspired me to become a Certified ESE teacher. Since my certification, I have enjoyed teaching students in Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Skills. It has been a great reward tutoring and teaching students that thought they never had a chance to succeed! My teaching style is very comforting, fun, and yields results. I know with nurture, time, patience, resources, and love ALL children can learn. I am an advocate of allowing children to try and work independently. I feel giving a child th

My teaching style is very positive and encouraging. Students need to feel safe to make mistakes and learn from them. Students' achievements should be recognized. Children learn through active participation with their environment. I plan activities that provide students with the experiences needed to build on their existing skills. These activities are geared toward giving children the opportunities for growth and to feel good about themselves while engaged in learning. I earned a master's degree in Early Childhood Education K-3 at Florida State University. I taught prekindergarten (ESE), kindergarten, second grade, and remedial reading for first through fifth grade. I volunteered as a reading tutor while working at the Department of Education.

I interned in a kindergarten class during the fall of 2008 and during my internship I tutored 3 students who were struggling to read.I also worked closely with a student who was from Russia and received ESOL services at the school.

Teaching and working with children is my passion in life. I prefer conducting my classroom using an inquiry-based method of learning and instruction. I believe students should very seldom be given information. I think it is much more valuable for students to seek out the information on their own. I believe that student learning is increased when students are given more meaningful assessments that make them stakeholders in their education and when technology is used to facilitate the creation/implementation/production of those assessments. Real task assessments should be used to gage success in every content area. Emphasis should be on higher-order thinking skills and knowledge in order to assure the optimum learning experience. I have worked in the afterschool department at Hartsfield Elementary school for the past 4 years. While there I was responsible for up to 20 students at a time w

Having a minor in psychology gives me a unique approach to teaching and dealing with children. I have taken several classes dealing with human cognitive and psychological development, and I bring that knowledge with me when I teach. I am patient and understanding. I realize that every child is unique, and that the best method for successfully learning is one that is narrowly tailored to meet the needs of each individual student. Education is the variable that is most highly correlated with future success, and should be our top priority if we wish to offer our children the best opportunity to succeed. I will be that advocate your child needs, ensuring that she or he receive every advantage that a first class education can offer. I am currently a senior at FSU, due to graduate this fall 2010, with a dual major in philosophy, minor in English; and political science, minor in psychology. Af

I taught public school for 4 years before getting a masters degree in Religious Education with a Concentration in Childhood Education. I wanted to complement my undergraduate Elementary Education degree. Therefore, I choose the childhood education concentration at seminary. Then I was a Assoicate Pastor for Children for over 13 years where I supervised paid workers and planned activities for a children's ministry at a local church. I had to maintain a budget for this ministry in the amount of $38,000. Over the course of all of these years, I have learned a vast array of skills. I love working with children of all ages. I really like elementary age children. I have a hands-on approach to education. I want kids to get their hands into activities so that they may retain things longer. Now I do realize that not every student is hands-on. That is the responsibility of a teacher or tu

While earning my degree in English, I developed teaching and communication skills through both curricular and extra-curricular experiences. As an intended Secondary Education minor, I took many classes in education, including a middle and high school practicum. I also tutored students in grammar and composition, as well as foreign students in conversational English. I strongly considered teaching as a profession after graduation, but I wanted to earn my law degree first. While studying for the LSAT, I took an online course, mastering test-taking skills in all three parts: logic “games,” analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension. Graduating summa cum laude from the University of Florida, with extensive work in research, analysis, and writing, these skills came easy to me.
