English and Writing Tutor

I am a senior at the University of Tennessee and am majoring in Architecture. Coming from a background of advanced English classes at Oak Ridge High school, writing and composition is my strong suit. I have tutored an architecture student who was taking a writing intensive essay course on "Theory of Architecture" and helped her sharply improve her weekly grades on papers. Also, during my freshman year in college, my summer reading essay was chosen as one of the top out of thousands of incoming freshmen. I enjoy composing interesting and well formatted papers, no matter if they are research papers or creative writing papers.
Facilitator Teaching Style: Students discuss with me about the basic understanding, concepts, and framework of essays and papers and then do one attempt. We then review and analyze each paragraph for grammar and general cohesiveness and make necessary improveme ... read more

Experienced tutor

Hands on learning with a lot of learning activities.
I have done a lot of tutoring. I have tutored people for the past 4 years. I tutored a little boy with special needs and have taken a class back in high school called "peer tutoring". In this class I would go around and help students in the classes I was assigned to. I took this class for about two years.

Current college student at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Received 5s (the best score) on both AP writing assessments while in high school. Have never received a grade lower than an A in any writing related class during my academic career. I have a knack for teaching and I tutor my peers and friends in college writing courses. I enjoy being around children and find it easy to teach them the necessary processes to succeed after my services are done. I am also very proficient in the French language, as my mother is from Belgium and I took French 1 through AP in high school.
Through encouragement and with a lot of creative hands on writing experience, I allow the pupil to make the mistakes they normally would and then through subject attention we progress through the necessary adjustments to form a writer who excels and enjoys the field.

I love working with all children. Everyone learns different and there are different techniques that you can use for different kinds of children. The goal is for the child not to get frustrated and to enjoy learning.

I enjoy teaching and working with children. I do believe that all children can learn - some differently than others. I try my best to be patient, easygoing, and encouraging. My goal is to open a child's world to new adventures, possibilities, and opportunities. It is exciting to see a child learn and discover new ideas or ways of processing information. A good educator provides discipline and can make a difference in a person's education. I believe I make a difference of the lives of my students.

Teaching is the career that I have envisioned for myself since I was young. I have a passion for helping people, especially helping them learn. I am a very caring, respectful, and motivated person. Children learn in many different ways and may excel in different subjects than their peers. This means that the teacher or tutor must work to find the learning style that works for the student and build upon that. I am committed to taking into account the individuality of each student that I work with. In addition, I also strongly believe that incorporating real-world experiences and the use of artifacts and manipulatives greatly increase students’ understanding and motivation.
I am a very motivated and high-achieving person. I recently earned a BA in Psychology with a minor in Elementary Education. I am currently pursuing a MS in Teacher Education while working as an intern in an ... read more

Working in my last position I was able to participate in developing programs such as getting girls active to starting a Literacy Council. I had the freedom to use my creative talents to create curriculums that were suited to my students needs. I have experience implementing various fundraisers, new educational programs and community projects. I have had success training, leading, and mentoring performance-driven programs to achieve ambitious goals. My education obtaining my Bachelors and Masters degrees has provided me with advanced trainings in communication, skill building, and building rapport with various personalities.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a great love of teaching and guiding young people in their academic studies. My approach to teaching or tutoring is open and involves as much personal encouragement as I can. I believe it is essential for the student to have a desire to learn in order for retainable education and it is essential for the teacher/tutor to encourage this desire as much as possible through teaching practices and activities.
I am a graduate of Bryan College with a degree in Music Education, having taken many education classes and completed a semester of student teaching at the elementary and high school level in Rhea County schools. My prior experience in teaching comes from over 5 years of teaching piano lessons to beginning through advanced students from age 4-adult. While at Bryan, I was a tutor for music theory students as well as assisted and edited English and literature papers and essays.

More About This Tutor...

As part of my education program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, I was required to complete a full, yearlong internship. I interned from August-October in a 2nd grade classroom and from October-May in a 3rd grade classroom, Monday-Friday. I went from "student teacher" to co-teacher and my mentor and I would divide the day equally on who taught what. Also, as a part of my internship, I completed and presented an Action Research project which focused on writing in 3rd grade.
I have a passion for teaching and working with children. I feel that children are like unpainted canvases and teachers have the ability to help them realize the value of education. Education is priceless and it is something that no one can take away from you. My teaching style includes interactive and hands on methods and it is more of a progressive approach to teaching, as opposed to traditional teachi ... read more

I believe all students have the ability to learn. It is my job as the teacher to find out what makes a student "click". I have learned through my experiences that connecting subject matter to a student's interests will ensure the student learns. All students need to feel successful!
