Literature Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Decatur, GA

I enjoy showing the creative works of successful works by people that were both my mentors and friends. I worked as a high fashion model and actress while helping my husband through Medical School. I went on to study photography and filmmaking at New York University and was nominated for my first feature Documentary Film, Lost Control, at the American Film Festival. I founded a Non Profit to teach Creative Art Education to Inner City Students in NYC and in Rio de Janeiro before going back to school to earn a Masters in Media and another Masters in International Affairs. I am currently working on a novel. I have a published book of Photography, With Glory I So Humbly Stand, on Amazon. I had the great privilege of showing my photographic works with Gordon Parks and James Van der Zee.

Ph.D., Religion, Emory University (2013) M.A., Theology, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (2005) B.A., History, Taylor University (2002) My career as a tutor began when I was looking for a way to support myself during my graduate studies in the Boston area. After signing on with a local company, I discovered my passion for finding better ways to help students overcome difficulties and achieve their goals. I enjoyed the challenges of adapting content to the individual needs of each student, of pioneering new ways of communicating ideas, and of working closely with parents to ensure that my efforts were effective. Sensing the need for more structure, I later moved to Kaplan. In more recent years, I have tutored independently. Perhaps the most rewarding part of the work is sharing in the success of my clients. Students of mine have increased their cumulative SAT scores by as ma

I had a rendezvous with death between birth and the age of four because I lived in Khartoum, Sudan. It’s possible that I could have been one of many helpless Sudanese boys who were abducted and trained to fight in the twenty-one year long civil war that claimed over two million lives. Several years later, I recognized the seriousness of this fate and how fortunate my family was to safely escape from a tragic reality that plagued so many. We immigrated to the America seeking the American dream in a precarious combination of circumstances—we were poor, however; my brother and sister and I received unconditional love from our parents, an abundance of it. It was this love that helped me through some of my hardest childhood years and it was all I had when my family lived in a one-bedroom apartment on the Southside of Chicago. This was the beginning of several adverse circumstances that I en

I majored in Literature at Berry College and have taught it to High school students in Fayette County, grades 9-12. I graduated from McIntosh High School in Fayette County and studied English and Secondary Education at Berry College. I student taught for a year at Rome High School before graduating and becoming a substitute teacher in Fayette County. I have completed three long-term substitute positions, two of which put me in charge of an entire classroom with all the responsibilities of a full-time teacher. Additionally, I worked at Aloha-USA Mind Math with Elementary Students as an English Teacher and occasionally a Math teacher. I opt for making the material relatable to my students, which causes it to be more interesting and meaningful. When something is relevant, it is a lot more fun and kids are much more willing to want to learn, which is, of course, ideal.

My tutoring style is serious yet fun, and I bring a lot of patience and enthusiasm to my tutoring sessions. Students of all ages and abilities, from elementary students with reading difficulties to adult learners of ESL, have benefited from my services. My approach to teaching is tailored to each student's needs because I believe everyone is unique with their own set of strengths and weaknesses. With a background in psychology, I bring the added skill of communicating effectively with my students and quickly understanding their needs. My personality is encouraging, positive and patient, and that has served me well in building relationships with my students. My role is to help the student express their thoughts in a clear, concise manner, use English correctly, and help expand his or her knowledge base. My students come from all majors including psychology, literature, history, and the

The realization that children do well in small group instructional settings, and on an individual tutoring basis, is what I took most from my years in the classroom. My focus is to ascertain the instructional level needed, then instruct for that standpoint. I do not like busywork, but instead look for progress in the individual child. Once the subject is mastered, then it is time to move on to other subjects. The compensation is negotiable depending on the number of children tutored. I also do not set a time frame regarding instruction, as children are individuals, and their learning should be treated as such. I do not like projects, unless it not very complicated, because that would be a singular goal; this fosters learning, and teaches an individual to become broad based regarding the gathering of intelligence. This is how I was taught from an early age, especially from supplementing a

Customized teaching style,because everyone don't learn or retain information the same way. I'm a very hands and interactive.
