I love children of all ages, including Middle School and Highschool. I do not alweats go by the book. I do what I feel is best for that particular child's learning style. I teach outside the box and encourage learning rather than straight memorization. I help children love learning.
I taught in public school and private. While doing so and during summers, I tutored on my own. I got married in 1986, had three children and stayed out of the classroom for a while. I homeschooled my own children and began an ACCREDITED highschool for home schoolers. I taught and tutored all subjects. I have also worked with several learning disabled children. I can teach/tutor pretty much any subject ages K-college. I have also worked in the Writing Lab at Clayton State College. I feeel very qualified for this job.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate, I was selected to be a tutor in the on-campus tutoring center, where I tutored students in all the sciences. This was where I discovered my talent and passion for tutoring and teaching. After college, I worked part-time as a para-professional tutor for a local junior college. Once I married and started a family, I used my MS in Biology to its full advantage by working part-time as an adjunct professor in Biology for local colleges.
I find that most students just don't know how to study Biology. I like to assess the students' familiarity and background with the subject and then discuss study options. Some people resond to flash cards, others to practice tests, and still more to oral quizzing. Maybe it needas to be a combination, but we work until we find a system that works. Then we tackle the subject material.

My teaching style is based on the student’s learning style. Each child is different and may require different teaching methods to facilitate learning. Some children are more visual and may require more interactive exercises to learn. I do not believe in spoon-feeding information to children but taking the time to ensure that they fully grasped the concept of a problem and are able to think through a solution on their own. I will work to develop their critical thinking skills and will challenge them, so that they are not just passive learners but active participants in the cognitive process. I am patient and will work at the student’s pace encouraging him/her to give his/her best effort to the given task.
As an undergraduate student I was always in the top ten percentile of my math, chemistry and biology classes, and as a result, I tutored fellow college students in those respectiv ... read more

I have been involved with tutoring at a very young age. I remember being in elementary school reading to the younger children that could not read. I am an advocate of every child receiving a fair chance at success in education. I have earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Master of Science in Cellular Biology, enabling me to gain a thorough appreciation of math and science at all levels. In addition I have tutored students in several different aspects of these subjects including physical science, biology and algebra. Former students of mine have successfully passed both the CRCT and Georgia High School Standards tests in math and science.
As a trained research scientist I consider myself a liaison between the scientific genre and the student. My experience performing research as well as assisting with college courses such as an Introduction to Laboratory Techniques an ... read more

At the beginning of my junior high year, I began to seriously wonder what I would do as an adult. My tenth grade year gave me the answer. I instantly loved Biology and because of a generous and wonderful teacher who was patient and explained all the things I could do in the Biology field, I knew this was my nitch. I went on the graduate with a degree in Biology, and minor in Chemistry, a Master's degree in Biology, and am currently working towards my Ph.D in Pathology and Immunology. I have done extensive research in Biology and have 10 years experience in Chemical laboratories. I am also very strong with computers and writing skills.
I believe the keys to teaching and tutoring are patience and encouragement. Everyone has their strong areas and their weak areas. However, I do believe that each student can get through any subject with the right methods. I believe that if one method ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a bachelor degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, which has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of both sciences. I was also a Mathematics tutor at Florida A&M University for about two years. I tutored everything from grammar school mathematics up to Calculus II. I have also tutored my fellow classmates in the field of Biology.
What makes me a great tutor is my patience and understanding of a student in need. I believe all children are capable of success but sometimes may need a little extra help to get there. My teaching style is one of comparisons and analogies. Sometimes students just do not understand the mathematical terms. For this reason, I compare problems to something the student is familiar with, allow them to see the connection to the problem at hand and then guide them to solving the problem. This strategy has proven to be very successful and I'v ... read more

I am very much a hands-on instructor. Long ago, I heard the Chinese Proverb “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” These words embody my personal teaching philosophy. I utilize a varied and balanced set of teaching strategies that will meet the needs of all types of learners. First, I determine the student’s preferred learning style (auditory, visual, or kinesthetic) and tailor my lessons accordingly. I then try as much as possible to make our lessons as relatable to the student’s likes and interests. Let’s face it, when the work is difficult and doesn’t relate to anything practical… what’s the point? When I am able to incorporate real-world examples and applications, students respond and things start to click!
My 20+ year teaching career began in high school when I ran an after-school tutoring program. At the University of Georgia I tutored for the che ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Tutoring has taught me that perseverance and patience are the keys to tackling tough situations, and I try to pass that along to others. I am very versatile when it comes to teaching various age groups. I try to keep my sessions exciting, but focused and instructional. I teach to each to the unique style of the individual student and when instructing a medium to large group, I adjust to the majority learning style;moreover,"no student is left behind."
It is my belief that I do not truly master subjects until I can teach it to others. Thus, I view tutoring as an essential component of the learning process. With respect to my tenure as a tutor in the community of Tuskegee, Alabama and on-campus,this has certainly been the case. From helping to ease students of their confusion in the laboratory, to leading review sessions in front of spacious lecture halls, my experiences as a tutor h ... read more
