Friendly, experienced, creative, and happy to assist!

I'm friendly and cheerful and like to have discussions with my students about their papers and their other interests. Typically, I'll read over papers, asking questions as I go and making comments as I go along. I do like to mark on papers so that changes can be more easily made. I generally try to think of new and creative ways to explain grammatical concepts and general writing concepts if I'm not being clear. Basically, my tutoring sessions involve a lot of conversation. I do also offer strictly online editing; in that case, I will use Word and create a document with comments. I also use the Track Changes feature so that my clients can see the kinds of changes I've made; I'll add comments explaining why I made those changes.
I received my degree in English from an excellent college in the Midwest. While there, I worked as a writing tutor for 3 years and was highly praised for my ... read more

Enriching and Inspiring Tutor

Throughout the last 17 years, I have worked as a General and Special Education teacher. As a Special Education teacher, I have mentored other educators, lead leadership teams and coordinated staff development workshops for educators. I have also tutored students in Pre-K through 12th grade in a private learning center and through in-home environments. My educational methods focus on praise and positive reinforcement. My teaching approach incorporates hands-on learning methods that foster a strong understanding of academic content while building confidence. I would love the opportunity to speak with you today about scheduling a tutoring session on-line or at a location of your choice.

Ready to love learning

I currently work as a substitute teacher at Riverside Military Academy. I've worked with elementary children and teenagers extensively. My most recent position serves twenty and thirty somethings in their personal and spiritual formation. I have published my writing, acted on stage, spoken before thousands and mentored dozens. My personal intent is to explore life, discover new things, tackle hard challenges and inspire others to do the same. I believe in the value of the individual and don't believe one-size-fits-all.
Adaptive. I have a background in experiential education and believe that the method is not as important as the end result of having assimilated, understood, and taught back the information. I believe in creative learning techniques and hope to inspire a love of learning alongside the discipline of learning itself.

My comments on tutoring Writing : K-5 Organization/Structure

I believe that most elementary students benefit from hands on learning and visuals to make connections with learning. These may be implemented through technology or conventional methods. I also recognize that children have different learning styles, and getting to know your child and their learning style is an integral part of developing an individual learning program for them.
I have eleven years experience as an elementary special education teacher with Fulton County Schools, at the same school in Alpharetta. I have extensive experience with elementary children with a variety of disabilities, including ADD/ADHD, Autism, and Specific Learning Disabilities.I am familiar with Fulton County's curriculum and content. I am available daytime, after school, and during school vacations. Prior to teaching I was a general education paraprofessional for three years, a special education ass ... read more

Dedicated to helping children accomplish personal goals!

I have been working with special needs students with various disabilities for 10 years. I have worked with students ranging from ADHD/ADD to those who are bed ridded and need toileting assistance. I have also had to accommodate with feeding and those who are transitioning out of high school. I can teach students how to read and write and how to ride the city but to where they need to go and make it back home. I have also taught cooking and hygiene skills.
I am patient, go at the students level, and believe in the use various types of visual aids and hands on to keep my students engaged. Students learn and retain information quicker with continual repetition; however each student will grasp the information different from another and some will take more repetition than others.

More About This Tutor...

My personal style varies on the pupil. These may vary from simply being frustrated with the curriculum to a myriad of influences. My style is considered out of the box, meaning that if the standard method does not "click" with him/her, then I enjoy finding something of interest to them, to relate that to the subject at hand. Keeping a students interest is paramount to keep them enthusiastic about learning.
Along with a Bachelor's Degree in Business, I have many educational experiences in the area of science, math, history (to name a few). And in all levels of the educational process; from elementary through high school and even collegiate. My previous experience has included high school students and many college undergrads.

I helped elementary kids in highschool ('08-'09). I was a peer facilitator for highschool Biology and Advanced Placement Psychology ('09), and I have various experience helping others understand the subjects they have trouble with. I'm not a know-it-all (math is my weakness) so I understand the other side of the coin and how sometimes you just need a different way to learn.
Let's figure that out together.

A Little Bit About Me...

First and foremost, I am passionate about helping children and youth learn, overcome obstacles, and believe in themselves, whether that be academically or otherwise. Over the years, I have learned and had the opportunity to work with and encourage children and teenagers with various behavioral issues, ranging from Aspergers Syndyrome to anxiety and anger issues,so I have a great deal of patience with students whom others consider difficult to work with. Having graduated from the University of North Georgia with a degree in Writing & Publication and a Minor in Mass Communications, I'm confident that the skills I've acquired would serve me well as an effective tutor. My outgoing personality, sense of humor, patience, and 6-summer experience as a camp counselor combine to create an enjoyable learning atmosphere for the students I tutor .
