Geography Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fairhope, AL

I'm a certified special education teacher that has taught in MCPSS for over a year. I have worked with kids of all abilities and I would be thrilled to tutor your child and support them in the educational system. I have a library of resources to pull from while working with students. I truly understand about individualized tutoring services. When one technique is not working, then you search for another strategy. For kids with disabilities, you have to continually be thinking outside of the box.

I have taught both adults and youth. I was instrumental in assisting adults in obtaining their high school diploma and college degree. As a youth teacher, I was responsible for teaching students to read and as a result of their improving in this area; I was promoted to a teacher’s position. I have tutored students on an individual basis, and a result they were able to be promoted to the next grade. My style of teaching is more of a participant style. I enjoy when students contribute to class discussions. It brings joy to my heart when a child finds a task complicated and eventually succeeds. Many of the children that I have taught often call me. It is my belief, that as an educator I must be creative and see each child as an individual and not as a group. As an educator, I am responsible for not only teaching students but for coaching, mentoring, tutoring and inspiring young minds to a

I love teaching and working with all students. My teaching style is based on the student's learning style and interests. I use visual, tactile and auditory instructional methods when presenting information and/or teaching skills and concepts. As we know students' learning differ in readiness for content, interests and how he/she learns,therefore it is my job to identify his/her needs. I believe all children are life long learners. I supply and deliver information in a manner in which the student comprehends and builds upon. I am a true believer in the following phrase "the more ways you teach, the more students you reach." I choose teaching as a life long career because this is how I can make a difference in children's lives. I am currently an employee for the MCPSS. My current title is Intervention Teacher/Special Education Teacher at Semmes Elementary School. In this position I serve s

One on one tutoring style--I provide one on one tutoring sessions that include the use of a variety of instructional strategies including worksheets, workbooks, sight words, vocabulary, Venn diagrams and charts, flash cards, compositions and educational websites.

Following the birth of my third child, I taught at her pre-school and caught the teaching "bug". I then completed a graduate program in Elementary Education, taught for one year in the public school system in Florida and then taught for one year in Alabama. I have the ability to help children struggling in reading to make great strides and as a result, gain the self-confidence to do well in school. I believe in a "hands-on" approach as we all learn better by doing than watching. My goal is for a child to like school, like learning, and know he/she can do anything given a little hard work. I believe a "hands-on" approach is the best way to retain knowledge given all learning styles. If we do it, we will remember it. If learning is considered fun, we want to do it and all subject areas can have an element of fun. Positive reinforcement within a structured environment is my style of

Coming from a family of educators, I knew from an early age that I would become a teacher myself; therefore, all the steps taken to prepare for my professional life have been to enable me to be the best teacher I can be. I received both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of South Alabama. I received classroom teaching experience at a local middle school and as a university instructor. I currently have an extremely rewarding position with the Mobile Housing Board developing, coordinating, and instructing GED preparation classes. With this program I teach GED concepts and both group and individually tutor numerous students. I take pride in the fact that 100% of the students I referred to the official GED test obtained their GED. Unfortunately, the grant I work under has expired, and I will now explore more opportunities in the world of education. From both my tuto

It is my belief that all students are capable of obtaining the academic goals when they are given the necessary tools need to be successful. I believe that all students are capable of learning in their own unique and indivual styles. I am a firm believer in learning through inquiry and hands-on experiences. By incorporation inquiry into a lesson a student is required to ask themselves question about the topic and solve problems using the materials given to them. When I see the "light bulb" go off in one of my students it is the most amazing moment for me. I strive to reach all mof my students and make their learning experience a life long positive memory. I began teaching with students who required a significant amount of intervention to succeed on their grade level. While I was in Atlanta I also worked with the after school tutoring program for at-risk students. After my year in Atla

For the past eight years I have been working in the Nashville, TN area. My first year there I worked as a site director for the YMCA before and afterschool program. After leaving the YMCA, I got a teaching job for the Metro Nashville public schools teaching 2nd and 3rd grade. While teaching, I enjoyed working with small groups of students that were below reading level. I taught for 7 years and loved every minute of it. I move back to Alabama to get married and I am currently looking for a job teaching in Baldwin County. I enjoy working with kids and have been doing it for many years. I believe all children can learn but not all children learn the same way. In my past expereience, I have found you often have to go outside the box to find what works and try many different methods. I feel very strongly about small group learning and think it is very effective when it is done in the right se

I am very patient, kind, intelligent and loving and I have high expectations for my students.
