Spanning 15 years on the job application of 3 different CAD packages affords me the ability to offer training at a level not available in a standardized classroom setting. Using Computer Aided Drafting Design has allowed me to help create scores of new jobs and brought ideas to life resulting in deep satisfaction equal to that of any publicly displayed artist works.
My preferred style of teaching is one that motivates the student(s) to invest in themselves by asking questions, extensive practice and having an open mind as to the learning process. I do not perform the work assignments nor give out the correct procedures just for the sake of getting through to the end.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a college graduate I have been driven to do my best to make sure every child is given the opportunity to have the very best education. I have earned my Bachelor degree in early childhood but do not hold a teacher's certificate. I have had extensitve training in edcuation courses, and love helping children read. I have been a part of a S.M.A.R.T (Start Making A Reader Today)program and have done some teaching to my boyfriend's niece who is now reading and writing. I love teaching children and helping them is helping myself out as a person.
I love teaching and working with all types of children. I think children learn in different ways and have to conform to their teaching style. I was a slow reader but have learned ways to make reading fun. I hope to make reading fun for the child. I want the children to meet thier full potential of what they are capeable of. I want to m ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It has been said that no one rises to low expectations. I believe that every child CAN learn, but that the process of teaching each child must vary depending on their learning style. Tutoring gives teachers the unique advantage of having students one on one, and allows us to truly discover what methods work best for those students.
I have been teaching and tutoring students of all ages for the last ten years. Having graduated with a BA in English, I have learned much about writing and the writing process that I believe could help students at all levels. I have tutored students in English, reading, science, social studies, math, music, and French.

More About This Tutor...

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 ... read more

After finishing my undergraduate work, I was a substitute teacher for 7 months. I then went on to Belmont University where I recieved my Masters in Education, which required a one year student teaching placement. I have also served as a TCAP interventionalist where I helped students prepare for the statewide achievment test.
I love to work hands- on with children. I believe in meeting a child at their individual level, both emotionally and academically. I want to make my students believe in themselves in order that they one day meet their full potential.

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. The arts, humanities, psychology, grammar and Engl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a hands-on teacher. I love to use visuals, manipulatives, real world story problems and life applications to make learning meaningful and fun. With two children of my own, I am very out-going, positive and patient when helping children to learn.
With 13 years of experience in education, I am very committed to help children reach their maximum potential. I am certified to teach ages from infancy through 8th grade, but am willing to use my knowledge and expertise with other ages. Patience, creativity, dedication and loyalty are some of my strengths.

A Little Bit About Me...

Pedagogy is the queen art and the most subtle science; like all creative endeavors, it involves a comfortable, mutual dialogue between the teacher and the taught in which both parties are effectively equal partners in the engagement and negotiation of the subject at hand. No truly transformative teaching is less than a journey, rich with surprises, in which student and teacher sojourn to the heart of great truths and discover the resolve to meet challenges and obstacles to learning with unfettered exuberance and eternal patience. Caring, kindness, and encouragement are the marrow of the relation; joy, together with accomplishment the twin results. There is no shortcut to great teaching but genuine caring, and the crafting of an individualized plan of study for each particular student. I employ this advice, and adapt integrated plans for student success based upon careful research and sop ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While earning my M.F.A. I took an advanced course in the pedagogy of teaching writing, which focused on the teaching of remedial writers. I worked in the university's Writing Center as a consultant while also teaching a first-year composition course, and went on, after earning my degree, to teach college writing full time. At the Writing Center, I worked one-on-one with students to improve papers assigned for subjects as diverse as Biology, Economics, and Dancing. In addition, I have nearly ten years of experience editing literary magazines, and I wrote monthly articles for two different local magazines for two years.
Not every student learns in the same way, and understanding this simple concept is crucial to successful teaching and tutoring. My goal is to understand where each student is in their larger journey as a writer, as well as where he or she is in terms of the immedia ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 move ... read more

As an award-winning writer, my track record offers you a fresh perspective on how students can tap into their critical thinking to better prepare them for Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) tests as well as other real world writing skills necessary to be responsible citizens. As a third-year teacher, some key strengths I offer include a two grade level jump or higher in reading levels in 75 percent my Reading students; a 3.8 Reading/Language TVAAS score—above the 2.8 state average; and training and experience teaching using the Language! approach.
Teaching is not a job to me; teaching is a calling that places a responsibility on me to provide my students with the tools they each need for success. I consistently design my lesson plans based on Tennessee State Academic Standards--making high stakes assessment items a priority. When creating lesson plans, I use multiple ... read more

I hold two bachelor's degrees from Mississippi State University. Both degrees were award under an International Business Major. I have taught German labs at the University level and can teach math whether geometry, trigonometry, algebra or pre-calculus.
My teaching style is facilitative. I ask a lot of questions and require my students to practice a minimum of 3 examples in front of me for every technique I explain. I have a fun style and enjoy watching the confidence grow in my pupils. The only child that ever lost interest in what I had to say was my own. :)
