I am a very hands-on teacher. I try to help students by showing them how it is done and then letting them practice. I have experience in all of the fields that are listed. Most of the skills I have acquired were either through learning them during my time at school or through doing personal research because they interested me. I have done some tutoring in the computer/i.t field as a side job. Chess has been one of my favorite things to learn. My experience with chess has been a regional tournament where I made it to the last-round of the semi-finals.

Motivation is the key to everything we do in life. I use this to drive my students to excel beyond what they think they are capable of accomplishing. I utilized experiential theory and real-world experiences to drive my education to make lessons relevant, fun and interesting. I utilize the constructionist learning theory where I establish where my students are with the given subject and attach new knowledge structures to support continue growth where they build their overall schema and level of understanding on a given topic. I utilize positive reinforcement and humor to keep them excited about the task at hand. I have my Pre-K through 8th grade elementary education credential from West Virginia, California and North Carolina. I have also taught High School classes and worked as a guest lecturer for college level courses. I have 10 years of experience as a teacher and I have my administr

Every place I went, my program lasted longer than any other teacher's. The reason is because my method is very practical and fun. Students never get bored. Some of them started to speak Japanese in a few months. So many teachers may have the knowledge but don't know how to get connected with the students and transfer their knowledge to them. I also know how to keep them occupied, which is the most critical point of teaching.

I would like to have a textbook to stick with, but depending on what you want to learn, I am pretty flexible when it comes to studying materials. I want to help you out for what you need/want you to learn! I am originally from Japan, have experiences in teaching English in Japan, which I loved, so as I relocated here I decided to look for an opportunity to teach Japanese. After graduating from high school in California, I went back to Japan to go to 4-year college. While I was in college, I tutored some kids for their English, and after I graduated from college, I worked at an English conversation school as an English teacher where I taught English to kids and adults. I had so much fun teaching them, I am here to fine an opportunity to teach again. If you are interested, please contact me.

On the professional end, I was an accountant (CFO type) for a very long time. My most recent "job," though, was publishing a natural health magazine (4 years). I walked away from it all late summer 2011 to work my spiritual path and providing patient and heart-centered tutoring to elementary children works well with this path. Children can feel that I enjoy them so they like me. I am a grandmother of two (2 and 6). I live in Black Mountain area. Contact me at CarolinaLightWave@gmail.com to set up a meeting.
