Each student has different needs and different learning styles. When I meet a student, I try to adapt to the each student's distinctive learning style. More generally, I engage students with the material by asking lots of questions designed to open up new ways of perceiving the material. Where possible, I try to make learning a multisensory experience, incorporating visualization of data, reading written work aloud, and listening for clues to the solution of a problem.

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 have taught writing to high schoolers, grades 9-12, in the Fayette County School System as well as in a tutoring position to Elementary Students.

I was a Supply instructor for Atlanta Public Schools for approximately eight years, and have a degree in English. I worked at the middle grades level in various subjects, as required, with a primary focus in math. I unfortunately do not have the materials left from my employ, but can tutor using computers, and school materials for reference. 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 a
