I love teaching children who are so eager to learn. I am always a constant student myself, learning new ways to teach someone the confidence they need to make it in a world filled with technology and also being able to keep that interpersonal communication that everyone needs to succeed in life. I am very patient and outgoing and am always looking for new ways to come up with a fun new way to teach about communications, business, public speaking, and also basic computer skills. I am always ready and willing to make that imprint in a child or young adults life. As a graduate of an all girls private school (Peace College) in Raleigh NC, I have become a true leader in the female world. I have always been driven to make a mark in this world by setting by example. I have earned a BA in Communications, specializing in Public Relations and Advertising. Also minoring in Graphic Design,

I love teaching. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was a child. I believe that all children can learn. I teach using a lot of hands-on experiments as well as a lot of peer tutoring. After our Math lesson, my students work on an Independent Practice and once they get it checked, they are allowed to help others. I believe all children can learn. I have learned that even though I am the teacher, there are several other teachers in the classroom. I love to integrate subjects with each other and share stories of how what the children are studying is related to life. I graduated with my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Purdue University. With that, I had to complete many practical hours in the classroom as well as complete volunteer leadership hours outside of the university classroom. I had completed student teaching. After student teaching, I held a teacher assistant positio

Because I have tutored adults, children as young as four, and all ages in between in a range of subjects, I have a very accommodating teaching style. I know how important it is to adapt teaching techniques not only to age, but also to students' backgrounds. My past experiences have made me comfortable teaching students of all ages and from a variety of ethnic, socioeconomic, and academic backgrounds. I am flexible and understand that everyone has a different way of learning a concept or idea. Being patient, friendly, and considerate are qualities I find are especially helpful in making me a great tutor. My experience tutoring began during my high school years, where I would tutor Spanish and English to my peers, especially focusing on written and oral language skills as well as literary analysis. While earning my undergraduate degree from Boston College, I worked as a tutor and me

I believe that all children have the potential to learn and am a strong advocate of customized teaching. I am so drawn to the mathematics and sciences because I learn from working through problems and finding methods to solve them. When I tutor I tend to emphasize to the student to find a study method that works for them and adapt it to whatever they need to learn. I try to suggest to the student options for solving a problem and letting them discover the way they understand the best. As a student throughout high school and college I have enjoyed learning and often joke with my friends that I would go to school forever if I could. I have earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in Chemistry at a very academic and research oriented school. I am currently continuing my education through an online Master's of Science in Forensic Toxicology program with the University of Florida. I very m

As a Spanish/English graduate from UNCW I began teching Spanish at the Friends school Of Wilmington. I taught there for two years. In addition to Spanish I was a service learning coordinator, tutor, and yoga instructor.I then taught ESL in Columbus County for one year. In Columbus County I served as a translator and testing agent as well. I have tutored in Spanish, English, and math I love teaching holistically. I belive strongly in differentiation, not everyone learns the same way. I belive in teaching children out themselves so that they can bulid better study habbits in all areas that they study. I also belive in guided discovery and hands on learning. linking personal meaning and experience with a subject matter helps to solidify retention and create a "learning lightbulb.."

My greatest satisfaction is found in helping youth. I strongly believe that education is one of the strongest foundations that one can have. I enjoy working one on one, providing the necessary encouragement and support that all children need to be successful. I am caring and patient. My ultimate teaching goal is to enable the child to become academically successful without the teacher. While attending Lenoir Community College, I was named to the Dean's List several semesters, named Outstanding Student of the Month, and listed in Who's Who Among Junior College Students. I graduated with an Associate in Arts Degrees in English and in Elementary, Middle Grades and Special Education. I am currently employed by the State of North Carolina as a Youth Counselor where I have extensive experience with students with diagnosises such as ADD,ADHD and ODD.

I have worked as an elementary education teacher for 24 years. I attended East Carolina University and have completed 24 hours of graduate-level work towards a masters degree. I graduated magna cum laude and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa as well as the education honor society. I have worked at a local tutoring center as well as having done private tutoring. While serving as a child-care center director, I wrote and helped to implement a curriculum for children ages 3-8. As a teacher, I care about students. I believe that positive encouragement is the way to motivate. I worked as a private/public school teacher to provide each student that I worked with the academic/social support that was needed. I used my background in child development to motivate students to work to their potential. I have worked with students from a variety of ethnic/social backgrounds who had a wide range of abi

My favorite part about teaching is the moment that something "clicks" within a child's mind. I am a problem solver naturally so I try to lead children down a path of discovery instead of just teaching the answer. I believe this helps children gain an understanding of how things work or why they are a certain way so that they are able to apply these same processes to other problems. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Business Administration with a concentration in International Business and BA in Spanish. I have 10 years of professional experience involving customer service, Spanish translation, tutoring, and training. As an ex-patriate, I was afforded the opportunity to learn Spanish fluently and have witnessed first hand its importance in business and life today. I also have elementary age children that I assist in the everyday learning processes.

I am very practical and utilize the lessons from the chapters done to develop and work through problem solving. I am a fundamental educator and believe that the student should become thoroughly familarized with the lessons learnt. The students should have a stepwise introduction to the lesson plans. By this, it is easier to understand the definitions(e.g atoms, molecules, isotopes, hydrogenation,and valency) before they can mentally construct nomenclatures and understand reactions and stoichiometry. I have worked as a chemist for 20 years now and taught Physics and Chemistry in high school. I taught grades eight through twelve. I currently work for Coty Labs. in Rocky Point as a senior chemist. In College, I was an exceptional science student that my Organic Chemistry professor asked me to tutor my classmates during lunch breaks for exchange of a job recommendation. I am very confiden

As a North Carolina Teaching Fellow, I tutored elementary through high school students in reading and math as I went through college. I have been teaching 7th grade math and science for the past eight years. The seventh grade curriculum has allowed me to master the misconceptions students have in areas of basic math, algebra, physics, earth, and life sciences. I have experience working with a wide range of students from students with special needs to gifted students and everyone in between! While teaching, I have tutored high school biology, AP biology, algebra, algebra 2, and geometry students. I love making learning fun and rewarding for students. My forte is in breaking down math and science concepts to basic understandable chunks, relating new information to prior knowledge,and teaching learning and test taking skills that can be applied to any subject. I believe students learn

I achieved the Eagle Scout Award in the Boy Scouts of America program and was selected by American Legion Post to attend North Carolina Tarheel’s Boy’s State in the summer of 2000. I graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 2007 with a bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry. My degree required supplementation with Math and Biology, taking such classes as calculus I&II, multivariative calculus, matrices, human/animal anatomy and physiology. For four years I tutored other college students in algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, and chemistry. I currently work with Measurement Incorporated where I score exams, essays, open-ended test items, and performance assessments. Teaching comes easy to me because I was taught very well. In high school I was the president of the FTA club where we would go to local elementary and middle schools to educate children of all edu

Tutoring is not just about improving grades, although that is the most obvious result. It is about allowing the student to feel the pride of success, and learn how to transfer newly learned skills in one subject to other unrelated subjects. I truly believe that every student can be successful. Sometimes the pathway to success is not always visible to the student; a competent teacher can point the way. It is extremely rewarding as an educator to open up that pathway to the student, especially so in the sciences. Fear of failure takes the fun out of learning; I take the fear out, allowing the student to satisfy his or her innate curiosity, and get a good grade as well. I was hired full-time to teach in the sciences at a private college in Michigan. The subjects I taught included Anatomy and Physiology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Nutrition, Chemistry and more.
