Writing is one of my top subjects!

Started my college career as a Writing, Literature, and Publishing major, but transferred schools and switched majors to Sign Language Interpreting. For the past year I have been actively interpreting in the East Tennessee community, largely educational. Currently, I am a full-time interpreter for Knox County Schools. I work well with children/teens, and have experience tutoring pre-schoolers in reading, writing, letter recognition, etc.

Failure is not an option.

I am currently a student at the university of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where I am majoring in early childhood education with a minor in speech pathology. I am working full time as the head aftercare teacher at hickory valley Christian school where I work with elementary school children. I have much experience in teaching, I am also a current tutor with the Honors program, working with four students ranging from 5th grade to freshman in college. I am more for for the elementary age child, but I can help in anyway when it comes to school. I feel school is the first and main priority because it is what gets you where you need to be in life.
I am very energetic, extremely patient, but I also will not accept back talking, lying, texting on your phone, or any inappropriate behavior while I am working as your teacher. I am always available to help you, I only want to see my students le ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing : I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, and 5th Grade. I am certified K-6th grade. I also taught advanced and Intermediate math and language arts/writing in a GED/HiSet program. I currently teach ESOL/CIVICS for an Adult School.

I have taught 5th Grade Math and Science, 3rd Grade, 2nd Grade as an Interventionist, Kindergarten, and most recently Advanced Math and Language Arts / ESOL/CIVICS in and Adult GED/HiSet program. I have the ability to motivate and light the fire of interest in my students by incorporating in my teaching full emersion projects. Using an approach that fully immerses my students in the subject they are learning gives them the opportunity to learn firsthand instead of being merely a receiver of information. I call this approach “Walk a mile”. I have used this approach in many of my student teaching as well as substituting experiences. For example, in a second grade class that was learning about reading maps I became Pirate Scary Sherry and took the students on a treasure hunt. I dressed like a pirate and told the students that I buried a treasure somewhere in the classroom. I made s ... read more

Experienced tutor

I have done a lot of tutoring. I have tutored people for the past 4 years. I tutored a little boy with special needs and have taken a class back in high school called "peer tutoring". In this class I would go around and help students in the classes I was assigned to. I took this class for about two years.
Hands on learning with a lot of learning activities.

Bachelor of the Arts in Economics, experienced professional

From a family of teachers, getting concepts through to others, ones that I fully understand, is a practice that of which I find myself to be both very positive and successful.

Throughout my career, I have often trained colleagues in Microsoft Excel, programming simple solutions in Excel to automate processes, as well as in writing composition.

My comments on tutoring Writing : Reading will help with writing.

I have tutored my friend's daughter in math and English. I have assisted her with science and social studies projects. Her ADHD can inhibit the learning process, but we are able to work through the problems. Learning about weighted blankets helped me work with her. She is a kinetic learner. my nieces are both visual learners. I have to adapt to each learning style.
Teaching brings me pleasure. What I do is to show them, help them, then have them do whatever I am teaching them to do. Sometimes one of the steps may have to be repeated, but this process really works well.

More About This Tutor...

While teaching at Maryville Children's Academy in Maryville, Tennessee, I created learning activities for the Kindergarten Readiness and Four Year Old students. I also created the 2012 Space Curriculum for the preschool system. During my Internship/Student Teaching experience at Donald Yates Primary School and Ocooe Middle School I taught various subjects in the second grade, and I also taught Social Studies and Science in the sixth grade. My teaching experience in the Ocoee Middle School sixth grade Social Studies class inspired me to create my Master's thesis Gate Trippin': An Unorthodox Curriculum Guide to an Ancient World. While designing the guide, I created learning strategies based on ideas from Stargate SG-1 to teach sixth graders about Ancient Egypt. While I attended Mount Olive East Church of God, I tutored children of various grade levels. As an Education Assistant and Substi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While I attended Lee University, I was a teaching assistant for a year for a remedial college English class. I taught my own one-hour grammar labs twice a week, and I worked with students individually as well. I edited their papers and helped them with their grammar. My senior year I volunteered with a hispanic ESL class. I helped tutor the mothers in English. I am currently an online teaching assistant. I help the students with their written assignments, and I provide them with feedback so that they can improve. I love to tutor students in English and grammar. I also love to work with students with reading.
I love teaching and working with all ages. I believe that every child has the opportunity to succeed. All they need is the tools to succeed. If they are persistent and they have the help they need, then they can succeed. I am a patient and considerate person. I bel ... read more

I have a great love of teaching and guiding young people in their academic studies. My approach to teaching or tutoring is open and involves as much personal encouragement as I can. I believe it is essential for the student to have a desire to learn in order for retainable education and it is essential for the teacher/tutor to encourage this desire as much as possible through teaching practices and activities.
I am a graduate of Bryan College with a degree in Music Education, having taken many education classes and completed a semester of student teaching at the elementary and high school level in Rhea County schools. My prior experience in teaching comes from over 5 years of teaching piano lessons to beginning through advanced students from age 4-adult. While at Bryan, I was a tutor for music theory students as well as assisted and edited English and literature papers and essays.

As part of my education program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, I was required to complete a full, yearlong internship. I interned from August-October in a 2nd grade classroom and from October-May in a 3rd grade classroom, Monday-Friday. I went from "student teacher" to co-teacher and my mentor and I would divide the day equally on who taught what. Also, as a part of my internship, I completed and presented an Action Research project which focused on writing in 3rd grade.
I have a passion for teaching and working with children. I feel that children are like unpainted canvases and teachers have the ability to help them realize the value of education. Education is priceless and it is something that no one can take away from you. My teaching style includes interactive and hands on methods and it is more of a progressive approach to teaching, as opposed to traditional teachi ... read more
