More About This Tutor...

I have been in educator for over 10 years. I started teaching because of my volunteer work at the Memphis Literacy Council. I love teaching because I believe that education is the key to our country's future in this global competitive marketplace. We must prepare our children for the challenges of tomorrow because we live in such a dynamic world. I believe that every child can learn regardless of his or her situation. When given enough time on task and effective, instruction all kids learn. This is what I do.

Classical violin training, I believe, is more effective than Suzuki. In language acquisition, I can work with a student to simulate immersion in a foreign language, or create building blocks towards thinking like a fluent/native speaker.
Linguist, historian,violinist, and polyglot. I speak English, Vietnamese,French, German, and Turkish. Out of these languages I feel I can teach English, German, and Turkish. I am currently learning Arabic and Portuguese. I have experience with language acquisition and would love to work with you on whatever your language learning block is, no matter the language you are learning. As a professional violinist, I have studied for over 10 years and perform regularly with different groups throughout the area. I am a student of the Concertmaster emeritus of the Memphis Symphony, who studied under the late Nathan Milstein. I will also gladly tutor in the ... read more

My comments on tutoring Poetry : In undergraduate school, I took a variety of Poetry classes.

Instead of telling the student the correct answer, I prefer to help them understand why the answer is correct. With writing, there can be better ways to word a sentence or rearrange a paragraph and I try to help them figure this out on their own. That way, the next time they run into a similar issue, they remember how they improved their writing the previous time.
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Writing in 2008 and am graduating this May (2012) with a Master's Degree in Journalism. I worked as a English, Writing, and Grammar Tutor for two years at both my college and graduate school. I have had experience tutoring and writing a variety of styles and genres including creative writing, non-fiction, editorials, poetry, blogs, press releases, and feature articles.

Very dependable and Reliable Teacher

I have been teaching as a Special Education teacher for 13 years. I have been tutoring online 4 about 8 years with different companies. I have worked with K-4th grade, 6-8th, and currently teaching 9-12th grade. I understand that students require a variety of strategies to help them learn and I am willing to go the extra mile to ensure they are successful.
My teaching style varies depending on the need of my students. I always use visual aids, demonstrate or model the task, and engage students through paring, grouping, or role playing.

Reading and writing are, and have always been, enjoyable for me. However, I know that a lot of people do not feel the same way. My goal is to show students that if he or she can get past the miring details that oftentimes come with English, it can be pretty dang interesting. Since revealing the fun parts of English is my goal, I am not super strict nor do I expect students to master the subject material right away. Working on the learning level of students, my aim is to guide them as they themselves discover new subject material.
I am a junior English major and Religious Studies minor at Rhodes College. I graduated from Harding Academy ('09), a school well known for its strong English department. The past two summers I have worked at Harding's summer camp as a counselor for first and second graders, so patience is definitely a trait that I have come to learn and appreciate. B ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator, the first task is to determine the educational needs of the students. Next, I assess the student's current level of ability to identify the areas of the curriculum that may present barriers to them. In order to eliminate those barriers, I may need to modify the teaching strategy to meet the needs of the student. It is important to tailor the lessons and presentations so that all students have an equal opportunity to experience academic and learning success.
I am a committed educator with more than 15 years of combined experience in Secondary Education, Adult Training Management, Adult Training Facilitation and Adult Training Development. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Instructional Design, a Master of Arts in Teaching certification in Secondary Education Curriculum and Instruction and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Liberal Arts.
