Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Edgefield, SC

I have a Bachelor's in Computer Science with focus on the Microsoft languages (C++, C#, ASP, dotNEt, etc.) The requirements for this degree was heavy in math. I do, however, feel better qualified in verbal and writing skills. I also have a minor in Philosophy and Theology. This ties in with my High School and middle school upbringing, having attended a Catholic middle and High school as well as the University I attended being a Baptist school. My full time job (Monday - Friday mornings) is as a programmer, so my technical knowledge is always fresh in my mind. My tutoring style is somewhat laid-back with serious undertones. I feel the best way to learn is to not have information force fed, but to allow the individual to glean knowledge and come to an understanding of the subject gradually. While I am serious about learning and education, I also consider my sense of humor my strongest pers

My strongest area of expertise in teaching is reading. I have taught it for years. I have come to the conclusion through both personal experience, observation of other master teachers and through current educational research that it is most necessary to teach reading and math daily in a systematic manner while exposing the students to a learning rich environment(a classroom reading corner full of books is ideal for this). Research shows that a child needs 100 exposures, repetitions of for example the word “fox” to learn how to read it and make it their own. I have worked with children in the public school system for thirty-four years as a classroom teacher, Title I augmented reading teacher and as a media specialist. Largely due to my years experience as a reading teacher my class of inner city children scored in the top one percentile on the Georgia Criterion Reference Test(GA CRCT)

I love teaching and working with children. I enjoy helping children grow to their full potential. All children can learn if given the right tools and experiences. There are many ways to teach children. All children are different and learn in different ways. It is important to find out how each child learns, and then teach him or her accordingly. I believe hand-on practice for math skills is very important and math requires a lot of practice. I always strive to help students become the best they can be. I have been an elementary school teacher for 3 years. I have assisted 4th and 5th grade students in math and reading. They were in an early intervention program in order to get them on grade level in math and reading. I have taught 2nd grade for 2 years, teaching general subjects to include math, reading and writing. I have taught adults for 10 years prior to teaching elementary

I recently graduated from the University of South Carolina-Aiken and hold a BA in Early Childhood Education. I am a certified K-3 teacher and I am currently pursuing my MAED online. I have obtained great experience working with children of all ages for 5 plus years, including teaching and tutoring. When teaching I like to put myself in the child's shoes and think "how can I make this understandable?" When teaching you must make the materials interesting and enjoyable for the learner. I enjoy bringing hands on materials into my lessons whenever possible and use positive feedback to encourage the child.

As a recent cum laude college graduate of Mercer University with a bachelor of arts degree in chemistry, I have an extensive background and understanding of math and chemistry. I have also gained extensive writing skills due to writing lab reports and research papers, in addition to essays written for general education classes. During the last three years, I have helped teach and tutor chemistry students both in a laboratory setting, as well as outside the laboratory. As a babysitter, elementary school tutor, and hospital volunteer growing up, I have come to love working with children. I find the opportunity to help students learn and succeed in school to be very rewarding. I am very patient, laid back, and encouraging, and I firmly believe that with a little hard work, every student can achieve good grades in school.

As I approach my college graduation, I have realized how fortunate I am to have been given the opportunity to attend college. I understood the importance of understanding math in life early on and my Finance degree only validated that notion. Early this year, I began tutoring advanced math to middle school kids and found it to be a rejuvenating to see young minds eagerly waiting to be academically challenged. During my course as a math tutor, I’ve found one on one tutoring to be most effective. Each child presented different needs and was receptive to different teaching methods, so I would meet with them individually. I believe each child is just as likely to succeed as the next one, and as a tutor, it is my job to encourage and instill confidence in them.

I had my first experience with tutoring in an intensive summer program at Georgia Tech before my freshman year when a good friend and upperclassman helped me navigate my way through Chemistry and college life. I had my first official tutoring role as a teaching assistant and mentor for an introductory course for incoming Chemistry and Biology majors. In addition, I had the opportunity to do chemistry demonstrations at Atlanta middle schools and science fairs. I graduated from Tech with a BS in Chemistry. Over the past four years, I have worked unofficially as the family tutor by tutoring my cousins and siblings in Biology, Physics, English, and Algebra and have amassed a variety of helpful tips and teaching resources. My teaching style consists mostly of being patient. Not all students are quick to learn everything. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, but it is important to emphas

In December 2008, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from Valdosta State University. In addition, I have also earned certification in Early Childhood Education (P-5). Last Spring, I was a substitute teacher for PreK-5th grade classes. I am currently a paraprofessional in a Kindergarten classroom at S. L. Mason Elementary School in Valdosta, Georgia. As a highly compassionate teacher, I am confident in my ability to deliver an excellent education to each student. I believe all children can learn. I support each child at their level. The purpose of education is to find and focus on each child's strengths. I have a tremendous love for children and set a high standard for learning. You will find me to be a dedicated, flexible, and nurturing educator who is well qualified to provide the motivation and direction students need to successfully learn. My gr

I really enjoy tutoring and being a part of a learner's path to success. I believe that small victories are worth celebrating and that each student has a different learning style and pace and therefore I’m very patient with students. I feel that it's very important to make the learning experience fun and rewarding in order to encourage the student to see that learning can be enjoyable and hopefully motivate the student to persevere in their educational endeavors. I believe that building a student’s confidence early in the learning experience can make the biggest difference. I began my tutoring experience by tutoring high school algebra and geometry to fellow students during my senior year of high school. During my four years at LaGrange College I worked in the Tutoring Lab as a tutor for biology and humanities. After graduation, and before entering medical school, I worked as a tuto

I tutored for Mission: Mentor while I attended Georgia State Universtity for 3 years. I was awarded Mentor of the Year in 2006 at Georgia State University. When I continued my education at Augusta State University, I volunteered as a mentor at the ASU Literacy Center helping children of all ages. I love teaching children. For the younger children, I tend to be more hands on with projects and objects to help them learn. I also believe visual aids are very good. For middle school children learning math and English, I feel like giving them lots of practice problems and going over it together really seems to help. For students in high school it usually depends on the kid. By this age most of them have discovered if they are visual, kinetic, or auditory learners. Based on the type of learner they are , I like to adjust my teaching style.
