Gastonia, NC area tutor

I have 12 years experience in the healthcare/mental health field and a lot of that experience has been working with children and teens. I work well one on one with children and feel individualized attention provides the structure and support that many kids need. I am available to come to your home as this would minimize distractions too.
That depends on the student. Styles can be adapted to meet the needs of the student

Most recently, I have been doing SAT Tutoring. In the past, I have done homework help for children with ADHD, autism, cognitive disorders, developmental delays, behavioral problems, focusing difficulties and time management. I have made a lot of progress with many children who seemed to be having a very difficult time. Children and teens just need someone patient and willing to work with them.

Experienced, Inspirational Teacher and Student

I am a career educator who has taught English and other Humanities based courses extensively since 1988. My primary experience is on the college and university level but I also have a high school and middle school background. The educational and pedagogical philosophy I hold is this: The ability to communicate effectively remains the most vital of skills and is crucial to academic and career advancement. It is with a sense of privilege and honor I teach and with a sense of urgency as communication skills continue to evolve in a quickly changing world. Technology is not a substitute for literacy. It is there as a vital augmentation of learning.
Critical thinking is nourished so well-considered and studied opinions are more than welcome; they are essential. Students have conveyed to me that my style is one of "relaxed intensity" with a flair for the dramatic laced with a sense ... read more

I generally teach through visual aids and through very thorough explanations. If the student doesn't understand the first time I explain something, I will explain it in a different way and will keep explaining it in different ways until he/she fully understands what's being taught. I try my hardest to teach by explaining concepts logically and showing WHY and HOW, rather than simply saying something is what it is "just because."
I have always been an honors student and am currently taking the highest levels of math (AP Calculus) and spanish (Spanish 5) at my high school. I am involved in Peer Mentors at my school and have tutored multiple students in a variety of subjects. I have also tutored students outside of school, mostly in math. I love teaching others and helping them to understand concepts that they previously were struggling with. I am very patient and will work my hardest ... read more

My comments on tutoring SAT - Verbal : 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!

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned a PhD in philosophy from the University of Virginia, and taught at the university level at Virginia Tech, UVA, Hampden-Sydney College, West Point, and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke for ten years. During that time, I have taught philosophy, logic (including test prep for the GRE and LSAT), and composition. A chemistry minor in college, I am also proficient in basic science and mathematics. I have tutored in composition, algebra, logic, chemistry, and philosophy.
My job is not to give students answers, but to push them to articulate better and give better answers. I teach not by lecturing but by discussion; together we work through problems and questions. By showing students (gently) where their thinking could be improved without giving them the actual answers, I push students to solve problems on their own. My teaching strategies were recognized with ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that it is my responsibility to cater and adjust my style to that which works best for the student with whom I am working. In a classroom setting this can be especially difficult, but with tutoring it is much more do-able. I have a lot of training as a Results Coach, which stresses working with the strenghths your client provides you. The exact same process applies towards my students.
My experiences as an educator encompass a fairly wide circle. I have a good amount of knowledge and experience in both athletics and academics. I have coached, taught and tutored students for nearly seventeen years. As an English teacher I have the ability to teach and tutor all aspects of reading and writing skills. I also have worked with students on test taking (primarily the SAT's), study skills, organization, and various other pertinent skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

As the youngest of three children, I always wanted a younger sibling and became the busiest baby-sitter in my town throughout middle and high school. I truly enjoy working with children and young adults and have exceptional patience and empathy for young people. I am very free spirited and enjoy having fun while showing students the amazing world of learning. Each child is different and I believe you must first build trust with the student and establish a relationship while studying their working habits and learning style.
Although new to tutoring, I have worked with children extensively and participated in peer tutoring throughout middle school and high school. I have an excellent rapport with children and young adults and my knowledge is not limited to the area of foods and nutrition. I have excellent creative writing skills as well as a very strong knowledge of language, ar ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Throughout my years of teaching I had some students who needed additional help so I tutored along with my teaching. I spent extra time with them after class or in a laboratory. I won many awards for teaching and was selected teacher of the year in 2002. Along with adult college students, I have worked with Boy Scouts, middle school students and high school students. Also, I volunteered as an instructor for the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System.
My teaching style is like a coach. I show the student the method to solve the problem and then I observe, correct and praise the student while he/she solves similar problems. It is important to explain the underlining principle in the problem so the student will be able to solve similar problems without just memorizing a few rules. I try to use the best learning style (verbal, logical, visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc) that fits eac ... read more

My teaching style is founded on being patient and intentional towards every learning student. I am very intentional about making sure that students feel comfortable expressing how they do not understand material so that I can provide resources and assistance to their specific needs. I also strive to find a healthy balance between tutor aid and student discovery. I believe that with the right guidance and instruction, students can discover a skill and apply it to many academic challenges. Specifically, I love helping students take their thoughts and create meaningful, clear and strong prose in order to convey their understanding of a text.
As a graduate from UNC with a degree in English, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the English language. Through this rigorous program, I was consistently expected to provide strongly written and grammatically accurate essays that proved ... read more

As a graduate with a BA in English Education, I received the most up-to-date and professional instruction in education. I specialize in secondary education but have tutored elementary students in reading as well as testing skills. As a high school English teacher I work with young adults every day in the classroom as well as after school in the tutoring program. While completing my degree, I also tutored students in basic psychology, history, and in writing labs. I have taken part in SCETA sponsored SAT preparation professional development courses to better prepare me in SAT tutoring.
With regards to my teaching style, I am a pragmatist. I believe that every student has the ability to learn if given the proper instruction, attention, and feedback. As a classroom teacher in public school, I try to create the kind of learning environment that will not only nurture creative and free t ... read more

When helping students learn and understand material I believe it is important to first gain the student's trust, so they will not resist receiving help. I am a recent college graduate and find that it is easier to relate to, communicate with, and gain the trust of students, since I was in their position not long ago. Once the individual's trust is gained I will assess their learning style and determine the obstacles they are having with grasping the material. In doing this I can evaluate which elements to devote most of our time to practicing and understanding and which aspects the student will be able to pick up quickly. Watching a student's frustrations melt away as they gain confidence in themselves and their academic abilities is one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had, and I would love to have the opportunity to continue helping students realize their full potential. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a huge proponent of the dialectic and Socratic methods of teaching, while recognizing the need for the didactic to learn the basic methods of academics. My own experience, as well as my background in Psychology, helps me recognize that learning must be relevant, interesting, and conducted in a highly accepting and supportive environment. I am keenly aware of the sense of inadequacy of students who come to tutoring services (I have been one myself in the past) and make special care to make all my students feel that improvement is possible for anyone. The knowledge and strategies that high performers utilize are not exclusive; anyone can learn with patience and the right tutor!
