My paid professional teaching experince includes one year working as a Special Education Paraprofessional for 2-4 grade stundents classified with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders. My undergraduate degree from Valdosta State University was in music education.
While some teachers favor a direct instruction approach, I try to tailor my instruction to the growing and diverse needs of each student. Some are more auditory learners than others, therefore, for those you would need a lot of teaching by rote, i.e "do as I do", so to speak.

I have experience in engineering which includes a solid understanding of math, calculus, statistics as well as physics. I have applied and practiced these skills in various business industries over my 12 year working career. I also have experience teaching at the under graduate level for the Measurement and Instrumentation course in the engineering program at Iowa State University.
My teaching style is to first teach the basic principles and then teach how they can be extended and used to solve problems. By helping students understand the fundamentals and problem solving techniques, they are able to think for themselves. This allows them to think more independently and solve a wider variety of problems without relying on memorization.

I have learned many different theories and ways of teaching, most of which I incorporate in my style of teaching. The ones I really believe in and use most are using a hands on approach using the ideas of inquiry and real life experiences in order to make learning the most meaningful and interesting. All children are different therefore individualized programs are needed in order for the child to succeed. I also believe that children learn both socially and indiviually and that it is important for children to learn in many different ways. To see that I have made a difference in a childs life or to hear them talk about something they learned from me, is not only exciting but makes me want to make a difference in as many children's lives as I can.
I have participated in two summer school programs (2nd and 4th grade) in NYC that helped prepare students to retake state tests in the are ... read more

I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and their North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program. In the Teaching Fellows Program, I was able to interact with students in a variety of settings, including one-on-one and in the classroom. I come from a history of educators who have instilled in me a high regard for education and the belief that all students deserve the opportunity to succeed. I have earned a BA in Romance Languages, with a concentration in Spanish, however I am familiar with the French language as well. I am currently seeking North Carolina teaching licensure from UNC Charlotte.
While working with students at the UNC Hospital School in Chapel Hill, I discovered a passion for helping the non-traditional student to achieve success in the traditional classroom setting. I found that patience was most important, but also by making the material rel ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I lived in Indonesia from third grade until I graduated from an international high school. While there I experienced a unique intersection of education and culture; my classmates represented more than ten countries. I learned to speak Indonesian and French, but more importantly I learned the value of education in an increasingly diverse world. My bachelors degree in Philosophy helped me hone my ability as a writer and critical thinker. I complemented my education with courses in sociology, psychology, and religious studies. In college I worked as a resident advisor, serving as mentor and counselor to a group of freshmen and sophomores.
Though science was never my best or favorite subject, I excelled in tenth grade chemistry because my teacher took time to personally explain what I didn't understand. I want to offer that kind of personal attention to students today. I am patient an ... read more

As a student who was assisted by tutoring, I would be glad to help other students achieve excellence in their studies and gain confidence in themselves. I have been a tutor since I was in a freshmen in high school. I have tutored students in English and reading skills. I tutored a group of sixth graders, who approved their state academic scores. It was a great joy for them to see they could do it.
I enjoy tutoring a great deal because you can help the students gain confidence in themselves to do better with hard work and discpline. Everyone learns different and I try to find the best way to incorpate all styles of learning into my tutoring, so everyone is learning. I like to get the students involved in the learning by them showing they understand by examples and activities. I want them to know and understand the lesson I am teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with children & adults alike. I firmly believe there is nothing a student can not master, as long as the teacher/tutor is willing to adapt to how that student learns. I am a life-long student & have mastered how to convey information differently to ensure everyone understands. I am patient, personable & encouraging; ensuring that each student not only reaches their academic potential, but gains self-confidence in their academic abilities. I possess what I like to call the NASA mentality, "Failure is NOT an option, we WILL find a way to make all the pieces come together for every student in every subject." Learning is a journey & I believe it is a privilege to be the one to open that gift for others.
As an advocate of learning, I continually pursue education. I believe you must remain current in your subjects of expertise. I hold a Masters in Business Administratio ... read more

I believe students have the potential to master anything they find interesting. It is my job, as a tutor, to engage each student in a way that motivates them and helps them believe in themselves. I look for experiences in each student's life to help them connect with the learning process. As I teach, I look for ways to help students develop many skills and talents. I have spent many years researching, writing, and presenting Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. I model my teaching style in a way that reflects my student's development across all of the intelligences.
In addition to earning an MBA and a BA in Political Science, I have just completed my Doctorate in Education. I have extensive writing, grammar, and reading comprehension skills from writing and researching my dissertation and numerous research papers.
