More About This Tutor...

In 2006 I taught graphic design topics at Westwood College. In 2007 I taught the same subject at The Creative Circus (roughly equivalent to an MBA program for designers, writers, photographers, and art directors). In 2008 I taught in the design department for Georgia State University. This summer I traveled to a remote region in India to teach English. I have taught GRE prep for the past 3 years, covering the verbal, quantitative (math), and analytical writing (essay) areas. As a test prep teacher, I have a close knowledge of students' approach to graduate school, and the process of improving their chances of acceptance to schools of choice. I am academically qualified and more especially interested in teaching humanities courses.
The method of teaching I prefer is maieutic, i.e., one which draws knowledge from the student, rather than attempts to place it in him/her from wit ... read more

I am energetic and relevant. I feel personal wins when my students grasp an idea or concept I am trying to get them to understand. I choose to work creatively and effectively. I embrace challenges and love investing my life into the education of others.
I have had the unique opportunity throughout college to tutor in various areas. I was very active within a vocal performance group and had the opportunity to assist in public speaking venues frequently. I got the opportunity to assist in a fourth grade classroom, emphasizing the importance of public speaking. I just returned from a semester teaching (English) in Seoul, South Korea. I have a passion for words, for communication and above all, for understanding.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that to get what you want in life, you simply need to help as many people get want they want in life. I am a firm believer in the abundance mentality, and if I can help a student overcome their barriers to learning then I am giving of my skills to help someone get to where they want to be. AS far as actual teaching styles go, I am demonstrative when necessary but always aiming to be more of a delegator to allow for a student to become a "learner" themselves. I have included descriptions of both styles below for you to understand their applications. Demonstrator or Personal Model Teachers who have a demonstrator or personal model teaching style tend to run teacher-centred classes with an emphasis on demonstration and modeling. This type of teacher acts as a role model by demonstrating skills and processes and then as a coach/guide in helping students develop and apply the ... read more

While in high school I tutored elementary students in all subjects. Included were language arts, math, and sciences. I also have experience with private tutoring in Asia with teaching students English.
I believe that every child has different and unique learning abilities. I feel that the use of examples make it easier for a child to learn and retain information. I strive to make every child feel as if they have the ability to accomplish anything they put their mind to.

During my undergraduate studies, I was selected the Departmental Tutor for French language by the Converse College Foreign Language Department. I also taught an entry-level French "drill" class for four years throughout my undergraduate experience. For three years after my graduation from college, I worked with at-risk youth as a wilderness instructor, and also a behavior modification specialist. During my work with at-risk youth, I also tutored such subjects as science, English, algebra, and foreign language.
Education is of utmost importance to me, and I believe that all children can learn, but some lack the study skills necessary to succeed in school. While in pursuit of my psychology major at Converse College, I attended various classes and seminars on learning styles. I feel that each child has its own potential, and if we as educators can empower students to feel as thoug ... read more
