As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must

I am graduating with my Bachelor's degree in Sociology at Tennessee Technological University of Cookeville, TN. I transferred from a 2 year community college in Harriman, TN known as Roane State Community College. Before starting college, I graduated from Rockwood High School in Rockwood, TN, where I never made lower than a B or a high C in some of my harder classes. I started taking college classes in my Senior year of high school and I was always in the advanced Math classes up until that point. I'm a quick, fast learner and always strive to be better in what I do. Right now, my major at TTU is in the concentration of Social Work, in which I hope to become a high school guidance counselor or a counselor in practice. I try my best to adjust my teaching style to meet every individual's needs. I know that every person not only is taught differently, but also learns and understands differe

My experience as a teacher and instructor has been centered around my experience as a musician. Learning how to play and read music drastically helped me in school in all of my other subject areas. I knew early on that I would continue to play music and also that I would want to stay involved with music in some way. I earned a degree in music education in 2001 and although I didn't begin my public school teaching experiences until 2003 I began teaching private lessons and tutoring other students while still in high school. I have been fortunate enough to have had studied with some outstanding instructors and mentors throughout my career before, during and after college. While I enjoy playing music professionally, teaching has always provided me with a different and often times much more rewarding experience that I always enjoy very much.

One of my greatest pleasures in life has been the opportunity to teach my children after school, help them with their home work, and teach them how to develop lifelong good study habits. I started a volunteer home work help resource in my home when I lived in North Carolina. It gives me great pleasure and a sense of pride when I see children excel in school because they have learned good study habits. I am a graduate of Wake Forest University with a BS in Biology. I am also highly knowledgeable in Chemistry. My education at Wake Forest gave me the opportunity to develop great writing skills. I am highly proficient in writing and speaking. I also read French very well. I have develped great skills as a reader evaluator of student's papers through my job. I have also tutored for the past 5 years at both the college and middle school levels in the sciences and arts. I tutored in Bio

Teaching is not something I had initially aspired to but found I am a teacher and motivator by nature. I love the challenge of figuring what pieces, educational, each student is missing and helping them fill the their gaps to reach the next level and have things come together for them. I am very patient and try to make each session fun and interesting. My students and work associates have always enjoyed working with me and I like feeling/knowing that we all came away with something we didn't start with. I have loved education and the process of learning since I was a child. Due to family issues, I dropped out at in the 9th grade but due to extensive reading most of my life on many subjects, and being gifted intellectually, thank God, I was enrolled in college at the age of 16. Due to my age, I lacked the discipline needed to succeed then so joined the Army at 18 and finished first in

My style of teaching is one that strives to bring an overall understanding of the importance and relevance of the subject at hand. I believe children, as well as all people, learn much better and have much greater retention when they understand the bigger picture involved and understand why it is important to learn the subject at hand. I believe in relating the topics to something the pupil can understand and therefore grasp. One of my greatest teachers was a chemistry professor who was able to explain a complicated chemistry concept in terms of a McDonald's Happy Meal. It was something we all could relate to and understand. Furthermore, if I can relate why learning the particular topic is important, then I believe the child will become excited and be much more apt to retain and retell the information to others. That is my ultimate goal; I want to get children of all ages excited a

I try to communicate concepts in a simple and organized way and provide "shortcuts" whenever possible. I also try to keep in mind my own feelings and experiences as a learner of a foreign language (for me, Japanese). This helps me to be patient and understanding of the pressures and difficulties my students face. I use my own experiences as examples when trying to illustrate a point and give advice as a friend would. Hopefully this injects some humor and reality into my classes. I think I have taken my cues from the Japanese kindergarten teacher model, which is that of a big sister. I take responsibility for my students and serve as their role model; I am understanding and patient. I care about the progress of my students because in a sense they are my family and reflect back on me. I began working as an English teacher 6 years ago, when I was living in Japan. I had originally moved to J

The greatest benefit of teaching, to me, is seeing the look in a child's eyes when he or she finally reaches that understanding of what you are teaching them. The challenge of finding a new way to help a child reach this understanding is what drives me to teach. As each child learns differently, a teacher must be constantly brainstorming new teaching methods in order to reach every student and address each of their individual learning styles. Growing up with more than five teachers in my family, I have always had a deep understanding of the importance of education and a drive to teach others. I recieved my Bachelor's in English from the University of Southern Indiana with the intention of completing a Masters and becomming an instructor at the college level. However, upon completion of my Bachelors, I immediately began teaching at Nashville State Community College as an adjunct engli

Teaching is gift and I enjoy being able to make a difference in a child's life. Even though my experience only comes from substitute teaching, our goals for students are similar to a permenant teacher. I don't just believe all children can learn, I know all children can learn. I am more than happy to help your child achieve in any subject that they are lacking in. Being a mother myself, I understand how important education and academic success is to a parent. I am a compassionate, patient and understanding individual who's goal is to provide your child with the best education possible. As a recent graduate, I am eagered to learn all that I can to reach the highest level of experience in education. I have earned a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Communicaton and Psychology. This form of degree has given me the ability to gain understanding in journalism, marketing

I have worked many years with kids throughout grades K-college seniors with their general studies, English reading and writing classes, and basic Spanish work as well. I have worked over 2 years with AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps NCCC programs to help kids excel in their academic and life-learning journeys. I have been a successful tutor for kids while in their natural learning setting during school hours and location and also when meeting outside of the classroom as well. Even today, I am helping family members in my spare time with their work while at Belmont and Auburn University in regards to their English classes. I love helping others find their potential. I have helped tutor various kids while I studied in the USA and abroad in Mexico and Scotland.

I believe that the most important characteristic that a teacher must have is consistency. The teacher must develop a system of rigorous work with ample support. I believe that it is imperative to possess an in-depth knowledge of the subject which one teaches, not just be a few pages ahead in the book. In order to achieve this high level, I prepare meticulously for each session, reach the student on his or her level and help guide them to where he or she needs to be. I have had the opportunity to work and help develop young minds for a few years. After college, I tutored full time at a high performing urban charter school where I worked on basic remedial skills with students. I have continued to work with young people to build confidence in their skills and improve their performance in school and on tests. I have tutored students from 5th grade through 12th grade, focusing mostly on math

Education has played a major role in my life. I earned my degree in elementary education because I believe that everyone has the right to learn. I have been a substitute teacher for six years and taught in a fourth grade classroom during my 12-week student teaching practicum. The many research reports and essays that my graduate program required allowed me to sharpen my written and oral skills. I am an advent reader, and this has also helped me with my grammatical skills. During a long-term substitute assignment, I had the opportunity to tutor two first grade students in Language Arts and Math. My degree in business can be used as a tool to help students learn subjects related to business. I was in sales for five years and have excellent computational skills. As a mind motivator, I am the dynamic teacher that students need in their lives. I love integrating technology, (i.e. PowerPoint
