Teacher Who Can Teach Any Student!

Taught in Greenwood and Greenville county schools 12 years. I taught reading recovery, resource, and self contained classrooms. Before that I was an ABA line therapist for students with autism. I have a degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Special Education. I am certified as a Elementary and Special Education teacher through the SC state Department of Education. I now own my own tutoring business Shining Stars Tutoring LLC.
I do not ever yell or scare my students into behaving the way I have seen many teachers do. With many students this does not work. I respect my students and in turn they respect me. This creates an atmosphere where students want to behave for me.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : I have taught poetry in grades 7-12 and on the university level.

I have taught for 12 years in both a private and public school in Greenville, SC. I am currently teaching at Anderson University but in the classroom and on-line. In grades 7-12 I have taught English literature and writing as well as drama courses. At Anderson University I teach English 101, 102, and 205.
Student centered instruction is the approach I use in my instruction. That means that the student's needs and learning style direct the way the information will be delivered and activities that will guide the learning. Students learn best by doing, so I only lecture for small amounts of time.

Wildly Experienced Writing and All-Around English Tutor

I have tutored writing at the college level since 1985 when I finished a formal course in tutoring methods. Since then, I have tutored writing and other subjects for people as young as 12 through college-age. For 15 years, I also taught college writing courses including basic writing, English composition, research composition, creative writing, and advanced poetry writing. I am the recipient of a Nation/Discovery award for poetry, and my poems have appeared in many literary magazines and some anthologies. I recently put out a novel. Additionally, I scored 198 out of 200 on the literature Praxis examination, which is a national teacher certification exam. In addition to teaching writing, I ran an interdisciplinary learning center for 11 years. There, I hired, trained and supervised tutors in many disciplines--usually at least 90 per semester. The Center normally made about 5000 tutori ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Education, teaching in particular, gives individuals the opportunity to give back what they have received. It is communication on a broader level than just simply putting forth information to whomever chooses to accept it. I started my career in education before I set foot on a college campus, through a peer-tutoring program in my high school. This experience allowed me to work with severely disabled peers learning functional skills for independence. Since then I have worked as an aide in emotional/behavior and multiple-disability middle school classrooms, as well as LD-resource, ED self contained and SC occupational diploma program. In addition I have earned a degree of distinction with the National Forensic League, been name a scholar-athlete in South Carolina and a host of other accolades in scholarship. I have experienced both urban and suburban school settings and have had inc ... read more

I strive to help students create an appetitite for learning. I also understand that each child learns differently. I have patience and I believe that every child can achieve their educational goals with a good educator and the appropriate surroundings.

I have a passion for helping others and I live to learn. I realized at a very young age the power of education. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in International business in August 2009.

I have three years of experience working with students with special needs in the classroom. I also have personal experience helping those with special needs. My younger sister has a server intellectual disability, which was the driving force motivating me to enter the field of education, more specifically, special education. Through my graduate studies, I have worked with a diverse group of students with special needs, ranging from students with learning disabilities to students with severe intellectual and adaptive impairments. I feel as if I am highly knowledgeable and skilled with students struggling to succeed. I can see the potential in them and I help them see the potential in themselves as well.
I not only enjoy educating students, I have compassion for students who struggle to succeed. I have learned that every child is unique and all have different learning styles and pe ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students of all ages. I believe all students can learn given the proper time and methodology. I have spent twelve years in the classroom as a teacher prior to becoming an administrator and have taught students with all kinds of challenges and gifts. I am a creative teacher who believes in providing students with a hands-on approach to learning by creating engaging experiences with real world applications.
As an Furman graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree in elementary education and a MA degree in School Administration. My experience working as a school principal for two years has given me the opportunity to provide leadership on a schoolwide level and has afforded me te privelege of being able to shape the educational experience of the students and teachers at my school.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I believe there are many strengths in both NATURAL READING programs and in ORTON-GILLINGHAM approaches, I believe that the best teaching style incorporates a variety of methods and taylors them to the individual. I also believe in strong encouragement and measurable progress so that the student can map his own improvement and obtain confidence in his abilities.
After ten years of teaching English and special education (resource and self-contained classes), I have a renewed passion in helping students enhance their reading competency and confidence. My classroom experience and my recent training in Orton-Gillingham reading instruction have equipped me with sharper tools and diverse techniques to help students at any level to become better readers.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is the same as my parenting style. Establishing high expectations and an environment where students are provided the academic tools they need, as well as care and concern, have been the keys to my success. I have learned that all children strive to please their parents, and their teachers when they know that the teacher is invested in their success. I also seek to instill an "I can do it" attitude in my students because many have struggled and developed a negative attitude about academics. The student and I work together as a team. When one succeeds, so does the other. I include parents in each success so that the student is supported across all settings.
Throughout my years of teaching I have taught students with a broad range of abilities and needs. At the middle school level I have provided instruction in math, English, science and social studies. In high sc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

What I have discovered about myself is that I learn differently from other people. I am the kind of person who prefers to set aside that assembly instruction manual and put together that Christmas toy by laying out the pieces in an orderly fashion. There is so much pleasure in problem solving. I learn by asking myself questions. I have little patience for mundane drills and memorization if they can be avoided. Each child is different. It is meaningless to say that a child is intelligent. There are many kinds of intelligences. Some children are more intelligent in memorization. Others are intelligent in solving problems. It is best to discover the child's strengths and weaknesses and adapt a program to each and every child.
I love learning and the precision arts such as mathematics. This has driven me to begin in a computer career. I spent almost two decades applying ... read more
