Learning is a life-long endevour.

I have taught Spanish as well as tutored people in Spanish, music (guitar) and English composition. Also, I have some experience with teaching English as a Second Language. I taught beginning level Spanish to 8-12 graders for one year. I have tutored three different individuals in music (guitar) and love helping people to find out how to be creative in their pursuit of music. And, with English, I have tutored one individual with grammar and composition. I thoroughly enjoy writing, and have an eye for good writing.
I try to meet the needs of the prospective student, and teach them in a way that will be beneficial to them.

A Little Bit About Me...

My philosophy has always been, "make it interesting and they will learn." However, what is interesting to you and I may not be interesting to the next person. Therefore, I listen to the child and figure out their learning style and interests. Only then can I properly teach and know they understand the subject matter. It is always exciting to see a Childs face when something clicks and they have that, "I understand what she is talking about moment."
Having taught high school in both affluent and underprivileged areas I strive to make sure that every student has a positive learning experience. My degree is a BS in Communication/Business with a minor in education. Language has always been my first love and I continue to take classes related to this field. The past few years I have worked in sales but I continue to tutor.

A Little Bit About Me...

Coming from an academic family with a father who is a Philosophy professor and a mother who studied child developmental psychology, I understand the importance of a quality education. I earned two bachelor degrees, one in Spanish and one in Anthropology. I have linguistic and cultural competence because of many years of traveling. I am an avid reader in Spanish and English. I hope to go back to school to get my PhD in Applied Anthropology. I have written ethnographic research papers as well as various other types of essays and vignettes. When I traveled to Guatemala last summer, I volunteered as an English teacher and taught a class of about 15 teenagers. I also tutored 3 children who were about 11 to 12 years old in English while in Guatemala. Now, I am tutoring a 25 year old mother from El Salvador; we meet every week for 2 hours.
I believe in listening and taking the time ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have taught in a variety of environments, from one-on-one to teaching a class of 37 eighth graders at once. I believe that having high expectations for students and exuding confidence in their abilities results in strengthening their own self-confidence and performance. My students have continually thanked me for my patience and willingness to explain concepts in different ways in order to suit their individual learning style. Teaching and tutoring are the most rewarding activities I have ever taken part in and I look forward to continuing to help students become proud of their abilities.
I have extensive experience teaching students of all ages. I was a middle and high school math teacher, and have experience in curriculum development and teaching in Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra II, and Geometry. I have lived abroad and speak Spanish fluently as well. In addition, I am familiar ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I've devoted my life to working with youth. My teaching style is to make the material as interactive as possible. Not all students learn in the same fashion. As a teacher my job is to use a method that best suits each individual student. My style is patient and easy going while making learning fun. I strive to provide the tools and techniques to allow each student to work toward their potential. As we all know from our years in school, there were a small number of teachers that really made a positive impact by how they taught and facilitated the class. I strive to be one of those teachers.
I have spent the last 30 years working with children and families in providing education, information and entertainment. I've been a full time teacher, a substitute teacher, and a tutor for children grades K-12. My company creates education product for the family market. I have earned a masters d ... read more

The civil engineering program that I successfully completed into a 4 year BS degree, was math and science intensive, with about half the courses requiring laboratory work. My highest math course was in differential equations, also I completed physics, chemistry, and electrical course material. I have had 9 years experience as either field engineer or construction superintnedent. Writing reports, conducting training and development seminars was a standard part of either job, whether the subject was construction means and methods, safety concerns or design changes. Communicating, informing, instructing and guiding were mandatory capabilites.
If I were to sum my "style" of teaching up, it would be "patience with determination". Perhaps my best achievment is with my wife who recently graduated from A-B Tech. Kate has always had a block toward anything mathematic. She had one course be ... read more

I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Information Science and a BA in Political Science.

More About This Tutor...

As a fellow during my graduate work at Indiana University, I taught undergraduate courses focused on helping students improve their written and oral communication skills. While pursuing a double major during my undergraduate years at the University of Notre Dame, I served as a university tutor, helping students in chemistry, communications, English and Spanish. Additionally, I have served as a volunteer for Head Start, a national government program that provides learning opportunities for preschool children from disadvantaged families. I have worked with children as young as three years old; at the same time, I have taught 30- and 40-somethings returning to the classroom for the first time in 20 years.
Each child learns in a different way. I enjoy finding what works for each child. In the current state of education, children often find themselves burdened with an exorbitant amount ... read more

I recently graduated from the College of Charleston with a MS in Environmental Studies. My educational emphasis was in plant ecology, which provided me with experience in botany, geology, and ecology. Furthermore, I specialized in statistical analysis of biological data. I have extensive computing skills in programs ranging from MS Office to statistical programs including R, SAS, Minitab, and JMP. During my time in the university system, I tutored students in biology, chemistry, ecology, and philosophy.
During my graduate career, I taught six semesters of biology to non-science majors. Through this experience, I have developed teaching methods to attempt to reach students with a myriad of different learning styles. I truly believe that all students are teachable so long as the teachers are willing to continually assess the methods that work best at an individual level.

Since childhood, my hunger for knowledge has driven me to study and learn about almost as much as I possibly could. My high estimation of learning has often led me to help others to learn whenever I can. Always drawn to math and science, I pursued chemistry in college and received my B.S. from North Carolina State University in Chemistry in 2002. In grade school and high-school I was always looked to by my fellow students for help and explanation of many topics. This continued throughout college where I gained a job tutoring at another school and also worked at the study labs of NCSU. Science and math are my passions, but I can help equally with humanities.
I begin teaching each tutee by first observing their own approach to studying, listening to their explanations and questions about the material, and indentifying their strengths and deficincies with respect to knowledge of the s ... read more

I teach in a style that relates to the students current conditions. Each lesson is tailored to bring reality, and importance to their lives while not challenging their autonomy. It is critical to get each student to understand the far reaching importance of historical events, and how they still effect today's atmosphere. I use various graphic organizers to break down each historical event we talk about, and candid discussion gaging the depths of comprehension.
As a graduate of Northern Illnois, and with currenty enrollment in NC Teach at Western Carolina a commitment to excellence in education would be an understatment. With twenty-one credit hours in education related course from Illinois, I wanted to further perfect my teaching talents by getting a Master's in Teaching through the NC Teach Program.

A Little Bit About Me...

Through the experience of pursuing my degree at Boston University, I was exposed to many different styles of learning and teaching due to my interdisciplinary concentration in Latin American Studies. After spending two months in Peru on a study abroad program, I utilized my Spanish language minor by volunteering as an ESL teacher of adults at the Brazilian Workers Center in East Boston, MA. My college experience culminated in a personal research project where I was personally both class and teacher, facilitating an understanding of how I best learn. During my studies I participated in approximately one year of peer tutoring organized through the dorm I lived in, allowing me to see how others learn. The diversity of my studies provides me with the ability to tutor in many liberal arts subjects including History, Government, and English at the higher levels, though I also scored high in ma ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I'm most interested in tutoring on the high-school or college level, but I do have experience teaching young children as well. I believe that the biggest impediment to learning a subject is anxiety, often from a bad classroom experience, so my approach focuses on beginning at the learner's level and making sure to check every concept before moving on to the next one. This works. I offer a patient, learner-focused teaching style that is able to use a broad variety of examples and experience from everyday life and my experience to illustrate points. I'm practiced in complementing a primary teacher's style to fill in gaps and get results. I have an enthusiasm for language that, I am told, is infectious.
I have Bachelor's Degrees in English & Spanish, a Master's Degree in English, and am rated 'advanced low' on the Arabic Oral Proficiency exam. My Spanish training includes 42 col ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a strong proponent of self-directed learning. The best retention of material and new skills comes when a student finds the subject engaging and is able to relate the subject to their own experiences, passions, and goals. All people learn differently; therefore, it is helpful when a student is able to learn particular methods and study skills that will continue to benefit their future learning. I love asking questions that allow a young person to reach their own conclusions. As a child, I felt very much empowered when teachers and mentors supported my own explorations and created the spaces for me to learn in my own way.
I graduated from Stanford University with two bachelor degrees, BA in English Literature and Creative Writing and BA in Art and Art History. I am extremely competent in reading comprehension, composition, editing for grammar and content, and in constructin ... read more
