EXPERT TUTOR-MultiSubject; Home/ONLINE; +WRITING instructor

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I hold a bachelor's degree in Political Science, which focused on writing and research. I earned an alternative teaching certification, which allowed me to work as an inclusion teacher at the middle school level, which allowed me to spend a great deal of time working with small groups and in one on one settings. I have taught life sciences, Earth sciences, world geography, and United States history. I also have a year's experience of tutoring beginning reading.
I enjoy working with students and showing them the joy of learning. I believe that children learn most in small groups and one on one environments. I believe that children learn best when they feel respected. I think that everyone has skills and talents to offer. I try to help my students find their own gifts and work to allow them to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

More About This Tutor...

As the daughter of educators, I have been exposed to the education system all my life. As a result of this exposure, I became very interested in tutoring and teaching. I taught for two years as a substitute teacher before attending law school. I previously worked as a substitute teacher with Morrow Elementary in North Lauderdale, Florida where I taught test-taking strategies for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. Most recently, I have volunteered with Youth Encouragement services as a tutor.
Based on previous experience I have discovered that the same teaching style does not work for every child. I find that explaining each topic and asking the child question gives a clear indication of their understanding. Based on responses to the questions adjustments may be made to address each child's need.

I believe that when a student does not do well in school, it is not because that student cannot learn. Different teaching methods speak to different students, and sometimes a student simply needs a fresh and alternative introduction to subject material. My job as a tutor is to find the teaching method that speaks most clearly to my student. By being patient, precise, persistent, and knowledgeable, I know I can help my student reach his/her academic goals.
My excellent writing skills, ACT score of 35, and passion for academics got me into Vanderbilt University, from which I acquired my BA in 2009. I studied every subject I could but found most pleasure in political science and sociology. In addition to these fields, I have expertise in grammar, essay composition, and a variety of creative arts. I also have teaching knowledge of the basic maths and sciences. Overall, I have about thr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Although I have pursued academic studies with a variety of institutions, I am a very avid and enthusiastic self-learner and I think this is one of the key attributes of a successful tutor. I am an excellent writer and communicator and I have a wide variety of expertise (from music, history, and English, to Literature and international relations). I have worked as teacher and academic mentor for over eight years now and I have found it to be an extremely rewarding experience. Whether your student needs instruction in the Humanities or the Social Sciences, I am more than willing to offer my experience and enthusiasm to help them achieve their highest potential.
Learning is a lifelong adventure in pursuit of truth. In following the example of Socrates, a teacher must realize that the wisest among us are those who are keenly aware of their own lack of knowledge. It is not a coinciden ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is a very holistic activity. I spent the last year and a half working with at-risk kids in a wilderness setting as a Counselor/Teacher. Essentially, I had 8-10 home-schooled children under my care in a therapeutic environment set up for experiential education. I quickly discovered that it is very hard to teach children without first understanding them as individuals. My goal as a tutor was and is not simply the transference of information but also the transference of self-confidence to children that, if cultivated, will last a lifetime and enable children to tackle any educational or life obstacle.
My college education was very self driven and self propelled. I received three academic scholarships throughout my college career and maintained a 3.84 GPA for the entire four years. At the close of my four years, I earned a BS is History, giving me a particularly good foundatio ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I first began tutoring during high school, volunteering with Time to Rise in Nashville, TN, a program that supplies students from underperforming schools with supplemental education. After high school, I excelled during college at the University of the South, spending time in Oxford at St Catherine's College, graduating summa cum laude, and being elected into Phi Beta Kappa. The liberal arts curriculum there provided such a broad education that I have maintained competency in nearly every subject. Such an education has come in handy during the four months I have been tutoring, as the students I assist will ask my help on subjects ranging from geology, to English lit, and to mathematics.
My own experience as a student has shown me that i was most effectively motivated when I realized the enjoyment I could draw from schoolwork. Approached in the right way, all aspects of the educatio ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored for over ten years. I began this work in my undergraduate years at Mercer University where I was employed as a writing/grammer/ESL tutor through the university learning center. I also worked as a tutor through Mercer with the NCAA CHAMPS program for student athletes. While at graduate study at Vanderbilt University, I was employed as a teaching assistant. I tutored individual students on writing style and grammar for academic essays. I have tutored students in my spare time for years as a source of extra income and through volunteer projects.
I love to teach, and I have taught many subjects. I have worked with students in art, french, English, and art history. Each subject and each student requires a different approach, and I enjoy rising to this challenge. I enjoy witnessing my students' success. In college, I specifically tutored student athletes who were in da ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Because I have an extensive background in Psychology, I have a strong understanding of the learning process, as well as many other factors that affect it. I focus on each individual child's strengths and use that to bring their weaknesses up to a higher level. Through patience and encouragement, I believe that most children can experience dramatic improvements in their abilities. I am able to explain complex ideas clearly, in simple terms that are understandable. Then I expand on what the child already understands until they have mastered the more advanced concepts. I greatly enjoy the excitement, challenge, and reward of enriching a child's life through education.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University. This gives me a broad knowledge base in many educational arenas. I have tutoring experience with the program "Second Chance Saturdays" fo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe any student can excel with the proper assistance. I am patient and relaxed but firm with students. I prefer to teach by example but will ensure that the student understands how to execute tasks themselves. With the right encouragement, anyone can write.
The humanities have always been my passion. As a graduate of Sewanee: The University of the South, I had a writing-intensive course load which helped me develop extensive experience with the writing process. I hold a BA in history, which required the frequent composition of research papers. I have written essays in numerous subjects, but history and English are my favorites. I also tutored Latin and mentored students when I was in high school.

For four years I taught in private schools, where I gave instruction at the middle and high school levels in English, French, Hebrew, computer programming, and office applications (spreadsheets, etc). I taught Math and English for one year at a Huntingdon Learning Center (elementary through high school students). Prior to this I taught French and Linguistics courses at the State University of NY at Albany where I earned a degree in each of those fields. Later I became a database administrator. Today I develop web applications in the C# programming language and the Transact SQL query language. I have also given private music lessons over the years to a total of 20 to 30 students. I play guitar, trumpet, a little piano, and I sing.
I have always told my classes, "Learning can be fun; and if it's not, you may not be doing it right." Of course, that does not mean learning is ... read more

At the age of 24 already possessing a bachelor's and master's degree illustrates my efficiency and determination. I have taught English as a second language at the high school level and politcal science at the university level. I am very personable and able to relate to various types and education levels of students. I have tutored in history, english, spanish, italian, social studies, civics, and the arts.
I enjoy enabling students to discover the abilities within themselves. I excel at being able to get students to find answers to their struggles by asking them the right questions, leading them in the right direction instead of doing the work for them. I have an uncanny ability to see the best in all students, patience, understanding, and flexibilty are virtues in tutoring. Each student is unique and needs an individual style of assistance.

I enjoy working one-on-one with students and tailoring my teaching style to their learning style. I am patient and easy going and enjoy engaging in lively discussions with the students. I am committed to making a difference in the lives of my students.
Over the years, I have tutored high school and college students in English, History and Bible courses. I have also mentored two inner city youths and assisted them when needed in their studies. I taught Principles of Management at Belmont University and thoroughly enjoyed that experience. I have written articles for a publication by Lifeway. I have also tutored many students in study skills.
