Political Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Edgemoor, SC

I believe in finding out each student's best learning style and well as his/her strengths, weaknesses, and interests and teaching to take advantage of these skills and learning traits. I love to read and write and enjoy reading and writing with my students. At Southwest Middle School my students consistently show high growth on end of grade testing (EOGs). I cam currently teaching 6th grade language arts at Southwest Middle School in Charlotte, NC. Previously I taught 8th grade reading comprehension and writing at The Fletcher School in Charlotte. I also taught 6-8 grades English at Providence Day School and 3rd and 5th grades, also at Providence Day, for a total of twenty years at this independent school in Charlotte. I have thirty years teaching experience over all. I have led workshops on the teaching of reading and writing for teachers on the local, state, regional, and national leve

I believe every student can learn, and as a result incorporate a variety of learning techniques to address a variety of learning styles. I wish to develop students in the four language proficiencies (reading, writing, listening, speaking), and as a result I use a lot of hands-on activities which involve movement and engagement on the student's part. At every opportunity, I try to create a multi-sensory experience of language learning for my students, so that they may fully "taste" various languages and cultures. Since coming to the Charlotte region in 1996, I have had a wide variety of experiences as a language teacher, having taught in public, private, homeschool, summer school and tutoring situations. Although my primary focus is teaching French, I have also had the opportunity to equip students in Spanish I and II to continue with their language studies. Passionate about providing

I am a very firm believer that each human being has a different way of learning. I also believe that each subject has a different way to be taught. I teach based off of my students, as well as the subject. I was a tutor in high school for many elementary and middle school aged children. I am also experienced with writing papers, so I can help anyone who is writing for a college application or essay. I am a very quick learner, so if there is a subject I am not as familiar with I am willing to study it to help a student. My goal is to help students understand the context being taught, as well as teach them the importance of this knowledge. I have often used the phrase "When will I ever need this?" and I have learned later on in life that each subject is important. This is the messageI want to get across to children, that learning new things is a very important aspect of life.

I have experience tutoring individuals with ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, and those who simply do not understand the work. For the past 4 years I have tutored students in all subjects in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Also, I have a child who is ADHD with whom I assist while doing homework. Though I do not have a degree, I am very patient as well as knowledgeable. I can break things down to any level so that your student will understand it better and possibly even enjoy the subject more. Once I have an understanding of what a student is capable of I like to push them to go past their "comfort zone" in learning. It helps them understand that what may look difficult, may not always be so and that they only way to find out is to learn it. Also, I do not teach study habits. Instead I like to see what a students current habits are and work on expanding those habits so that the child does not get frustra

I tend to prefer a Socratic method of teaching where the student discovers the answer through discussion, reading and research. I will use direct instruction on occassion when the need arises but my classroom is typically humming with group wo

I have tutored in composition, algebra, logic, chemistry, and philosophy. My job is not to give students answers, but to push them to articulate better and give better answers. I teach not by lecturing but by discussion; together we work through problems and questions. By showing students (gently) where their thinking could be improved without giving them the actual answers, I push students to solve problems on their own.

My responsibility as a teacher is to ensure that students leave my classroom more knowledgeable than when they entered. Since my students will come in at varying levels and with different needs, their success must be measured on an individual basis. I want my students to improve in five specific areas by the end of the of my course: 1) the aspects of writing that they recognize as problem areas at the beginning of the learning process; 2) the areas that I identify throughout the semester; 3) the skills necessary to become more critical and analytical readers; 4) the recognition, articulation, and reevaluation of their burgeoning worldviews; and 5) the development of their own personal writing style. In addition, for many students a sixth area, the building of confidence, is also developed. I use a variety of mediums -both traditional and non-traditional- as vehicles to assist my students

I love to read and enjoy involving my students in the joys of learning and expanding their horizons. No matter what their path every student needs to read and read well. Basic skills like comprehension,grammar and spelling must be kept up in order to compete today. A sense and appreciation of history is important. Reading and comprehension are vital tools which we all need throughout our lives. The process of learning any subject should be fun. Seeing that "spark" of understanding in my students' eyes makes it all worthwhile. Every child has great abilities. I am proud of what I do and want to share my enthusiasms with all students. I am a qualified tutor, in Charlotte, NC., in Reading, English, Writing, Comprehension, History and Spanish, K-12 and High School.
