Poetry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Chelsea, AL

Have a secondary education degree from Jacksonville State University. I have tutored before and have had several substitute jobs. I believe in letting the student teach sometimes by being an active participant in the learning experience. I think students do better when they can see the material, read the material,and explain the material because it makes them retain the information.

I have tutored Russian teenagers English, I published an article in "The Birmingham News", I created and self published a weekly newsletter when I was the Sales Assistant at my current job at a Bowling center, I am now the Shift Lead, and when I majored in Elementary Education (before switching to an English major), I had student taught Kindergarten through Sixth grade. My teaching style is student centered-the way I teach will depend on the best way the student learns. I will always be positive and patiesnt as this tends to yield the best results.

I have been writing for my whole life, and have a love of the art that is description. Since Mich of humanity's understanding is based on metaphor, description and its subtleties is a key part of any writing process, be it creative or instructional.My favorite form of writing is creative, however I also enjoy writing essays and other pieces based on fact. No matter what form of writing you endeavor to do, getting your point across through description is paramount. I have placed and won poetry contests, and have written many essays of undergraduate and graduate levels.

I have spent most of my life in an academic environment. I thrive on success- not only my own, but also the success of others around me. I became a substitute teacher in order to gain experience as a classroom leader. Tutoring is a necessary duty of an educator. I believe a one on one environment is conducive to learning and retaining information; being able to receive direct feedback from an educator is one of the most valuable assets to a young learner.

I am a dynamic person: passionate about the arts, entertainment, and just about everything else. I definitely bring zeal and creativity to my teaching, but am also a fun-loving and laid-back guy. Although I am not a certified teacher I taught theology and speech at a private high school. I loved my students tremendously. And I tried to make that love manifest by always being aware of each student as an individual with a unique view of the world and unique needs. As a former Copy Writer in the Professional Corporate World, my delicately skilled mind has been injected with days on top of countless days of experience in the mysterious art of Word Craft. Professionally, I have experience constructing everything from Press Releases to DVD Cover Copy, editing television documentaries, polishing marketing materials, and much more. Also, on the creative side, I write fiction in the form of short

My personal style of learning is to learn by doing. I get my students involved in any process and get them to actually do the work so they learn it from experience, not just reading about it and taking for granted they know what is going on. Seeing the steps in action and seeing the final result brings a sense of accomplishment, which helps a student learn the correct way of doing whatever it is they are trying to learn. I have lead many training sessions dealing with a multitude of different topics. I do my homework, and make sure I am fully prepared before any training session. I want to make sure I know the answers to any possible question before the questions are asked. I have tutored students one-on-one and in small groups from different levels of math to every aspect of English, grammar, and writing. I have taught many classes in painting and drawing, and I am a constant stud

I'm laid back and like to draw the student's interests. I love small details and histories and to make a student think. I've worked in the ESL (or related) field for a total of 8 years. I was a Foreign Language Expert in China for 3 years and am finishing my 4th year as a rater for the TOEFL exam. I also taught Spanish for a year. I've worked with all ages of students as well (Pre-K to College age). I have been in the education/mentoring field for over 11 years.

I am patient with my students, and I also work hard to make the learning experience fun. My first French teacher at Mountain Brook High school used wonderful methods to introduce our class to the language. She showed us French movies and other interactive methods to get us excited about learning. I have helped many French people in New York become acquainted and helped them learn English. I will always make the learning experience fun, using French cartoons, advertisements, and songs to enhance the learning experience. As a graduate from the American University of Paris, a private university in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France, I am qualified to be a French language tutor. Not only do I hold a Journalism degree, with a specialty in French, I also completed a French language and civilization course at La Sorbonne in 2004. I lived for many years in Paris and I have worked in t

As a recent graduate, I have learned the importance of education. I have earned a Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology and minor in Chemistry. Not only do I contain a strong understanding in those subjects but took several classes in other areas to become a well-rounded individual. I dedicated my time most of my time to studies but I also took time out to participate in campus activities, as well as, participate in numerous volunteer programs. I received rewards for my dedication to tutoring and mentoring the youth in the inner city. I enjoy working, teaching, and mentoring children. I have learned to adjust to the different learning styles of children, which makes it easier for the child to feel more comfortable with learning. In order to work with children there has to be a great amount of patience and concern. I have learned patience through working with children from all walks

During high school, my teacher requested that I help others in my class and I realized how much I loved helping others understand how accounting works. Also in helping my children with their school work, I have learned that each child is different and learns in different ways. I would describe my style of teaching as finding out how a particular student learns best and work form that foundation. Some learn better by seeing an example and then working it out on their own with someone to consult if they get stuck. Other learn better with what they hear and others what they read. It is better to see how each person learns best and teach from that angle. Also, patience is the greatest teaching aid available to any teacher or student. I earned both of my degrees while working and caring for very young children. I feel this was possible because of my time management skills and determinat

I thoroughly enjoy working with, teaching, and learning from children. I approach teaching with the belief that all students are capable of excelling if both they and the teacher have the appropriate attitude. With an easygoing (and hopefully fun) style of teaching, I strive to instill in students the excitement of learning. While attending Birmingham Southern College, I had several teaching experiences: I volunteered as a tutor at a nearby elementary school, tutored in my college's writing center, and worked for three summers as a camp counselor. After receiving a BA in English, I taught high school English conversation in Hungary for a year. My ultimate goal is to teach English at a university, but I love working with primary and secondary schoolers. Given my reading, writing, and editing experience (as well as my extensive experience working with children), I feel comfortable teac

I have many years of teaching specialised reading to special needs students. I have experience in individual plans, diagnosing reading difficulties, task anaylsis in all areas of education. I have taught both general and special education, as well as youth at risk. I have a proven record of success I believe that every student has the potential to succeed in the area of learning new knowledge. Therefore I like to use a diagnosis method to find out the best method to reach the student. The most important facet is to build a rapport with the learner. This method has served me and the students I have worked with well through the years.

I believe that learning needs to be fun, but that students need, and most of the time want, structure in their classrooms. I believe that learning needs to be relevant to students. They need to know why and where in their lives they will need or be using what they are being taught. I use a variety of instuctional methods while teaching (lecture, discussions,group activities, etc.) so students stay interested and because every student learns differently. I believe there needs to be mutual respect between the students and teachers. The classroom should be a place where students enjoy learning, feel safe, and are respected as individuals. Most of my experience is working with students who have issues beyond a normal student whether it be learning disabilities, behavior problems,or emotional/phsychological issues. I have taught in many alternative school settings, but I have also taught in m
