Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Germantown, TN

I have been in educator for over 10 years. I started teaching because of my volunteer work at the Memphis Literacy Council. I love teaching because I believe that education is the key to our country's future in this global competitive marketplace. We must prepare our children for the challenges of tomorrow because we live in such a dynamic world. I believe that every child can learn regardless of his or her situation. When given enough time on task and effective, instruction all kids learn. This is what I do.

Master's Degree in Biology and Chemistry, 40 years teaching experience One on one. Work problems together. Then have the student work problems. I am pleased to have this opportunity to tell you a bit about myself. This is done in order to provide you with a chance to get to know me before we are assigned to each other. Thanks for your time in reading this entry. My teaching career with young adults has been over a span of 38 years. Some of my original students from the 70's are now grandparents in their mid fifties. However, I am still young at heart and still enjoy working with young people. My first teaching position was in a rural school locale in the middle of a farming region. Sometimes the smells that drifted through the air back then still haunt my memories. But, in that tiny little community where the principal would come to the staff lounge and eat tuna out of the can, I got m

I prefer to have a fun learning environment. I think you learn from hearing, seeing, and doing. I’ve had many years of practice in the tutoring field dealing with the fact that my brother has a learning disability. He likes to have fun and thinks that leaning is boring, so I try to make learning as fun as possible. Then I have my student on student tutoring when the students tutor each other. I think its better that way because most students don't really pay attention to their teachers but they take it better when it comes from another student. Sometimes its better because something you understand they may not understand and when you explain it to them then may be they will understand it a little better. Basically what im saying is that some kids learn better from other kids.

My teaching style will depend on your child's needs. I have found that the easiest way is to make notes and practice problems to go over, then allow them to show me what they can do. With writing, I prefer that your child do a rough draft before meeting with me so that I can show them what they are doing wrong and how to fix it. In high school, I was frequently the one that people came to for help. It was then that I realized I was extremely good at teaching. My senior year, I spent all day helping four different math teachers, one of which was frequently absent. In order to keep her class from falling behind, she had me make notes and go over practice problems with her classes. I spent quite a bit of my free time working on notes and worksheets, and giving step by step instructions to other children. In addition, I tutored other people who were having trouble for extra money. I also hav

At present, I have been teaching basic reading, writing, and math in both private and public school sectors throughout the State of Tennessee since the Fall of 2006. My first formal experience was as an undergraduate Reading and Development coach for recent high school graduates entering junior college. This position consisted of leading two one-hour recitation sessions per week for two groups of 'high needs' students. During these recitations, I answered questions about the material and gave weekly quizzes that I wrote and graded. As a Coach/Tutorer, I have had full responsibility for lecturing, writing and grading midterm exams, and assigning final grades. These teaching experiences as an informal educator, teaching assistant, and a preceptor, honed my skills as an educator and a lecturer. I am confident that I will be able to teach students at all academic levels in various areas of s

I believe that all students can and do learn. I am extremely patient, but require my students have an internal desire to learn. I believe that students must be challenged to reach their highest potential. I have used the Responsive Classroom technique and found it to be useful in encouraging student success and maintaining appropriate classroom conduct. Respect for students will ensure reciprocal conduct and will assure the student in obtaining his/her desired educational goals. After completing a Masters Degree in Biblical Studies from a local seminary, I taught adults for six years and found my passion in teaching. In 2008, I worked as a substitute teacher in the North Mississippi school district for approximately six months. In the fall of 2009, I began working on a Masters Degree in Elementary Education at Peabody College in Nashville. I worked part-time with a kindergarte

My teaching style engage learners. I am an active learner which requires real life learning experiences. I believe students learn best when they are actively participating in the learning process. In my opinion learning is a lifelong journey that requires educators to be willing to teach as well as learn. I have extensive experience in human development and learning. I understand as an educator developmentally appropriate practice must be used to ensure success of a student. The training I received at the University of Memphis and the University of Phoenix has equipped me with the tools needed to motivate, inspire and uplift learners.
