A person who has strong negative feelings about learning is automatically hindered in any learning environment. I first gain the trust of my students, and then start to build an appreciation for learning in their minds. Once that process has begun, I inject a sense of humor, a sense of patience, and a great deal of love into my teaching. I have been a classroom teacher for over 20 years. I have taught all subjects in elementary school, English, history, and mathematics in middle school, and English composition and literature in high school. Additionally, I have taught mass communication and creative writing in high school. I have taught remedial English, freshman composition, and technical writing on a collegiate level.

I feel a great deal of satisfaction in assisting children to fulfill their educational potentials. I believe that a solid foundation in arithmetical and writing/reading basics is essential for further educational success. I therefore prefer to tutor elementary school children. I believe that a prime goal of a tutor is to prepare material that the students can enjoy while they are learning and developing study skills. This will foster a desire to learn and a love for learning. I currently tutor privately 2 days a week for a 2nd Grader diagnosed with ADHD in reading comprehension, writing, and math. As Tutor at Hodge Road Elementary School, Knightdale NC I conducted Pre-and-Post-Tutorial Assessment Testing; prepared individualized lesson plans for K-5th Grade students in Language Arts and Mathematics; guided students in developing educational skills; assisted students in understanding l

My experience with approx. 25 different learning challenges (diagnoses) has allowed me to become sensitive to individual students' needs--behaviorally, emotionally, and academically. In the last 20 years of tutorial services and as a contracted para-ed within my local school district, I have gained much from observing students' success and struggles. Their accomplishments have resulted in a personal excitement to continue assisting in their life-changing work. Students have ranged from pre-K to college level/adult; from those learning basic life-skills to others working toward an advanced college degree; and from frequent in-person sessions per week at the student's home to one-time project work at a library site. My experience has developed my versatile, motivational, and sensitive style. Beyond simply "tutoring", my work with students is aimed at long-term cognitive development. Ins

I'm enthusiastic about learning and helping my students to learn. My primary goal is to teach students to learn on their own, rather than simply giving them answers. I think of myself as a leargning guide, not just an instructor. I like to help students figure out how to answer their own questions, so they eventually no longer need a tutor! I have been teaching biology at the college level for around 8 years, including small and large groups, laboratories, and lectures. My teaching certificate experience has helped me to understand how students think and learn, and how best to help them improve in their coursework. While I specialize in biology, I also tutor in literature and general writing. I provide online and in-person editing services for any subject.
