Ready to love learning

I currently work as a substitute teacher at Riverside Military Academy. I've worked with elementary children and teenagers extensively. My most recent position serves twenty and thirty somethings in their personal and spiritual formation. I have published my writing, acted on stage, spoken before thousands and mentored dozens. My personal intent is to explore life, discover new things, tackle hard challenges and inspire others to do the same. I believe in the value of the individual and don't believe one-size-fits-all.
Adaptive. I have a background in experiential education and believe that the method is not as important as the end result of having assimilated, understood, and taught back the information. I believe in creative learning techniques and hope to inspire a love of learning alongside the discipline of learning itself.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all children require a different method of teaching. My goal is to find the key to help them become motivated in learning. Sometimes children predetermine that they are not good at an individual subject. If you can find a way to make this subject interesting to them you have solved half the problem. I try to discover why the child is having problems in a certain area and solve this first. All children can learn and grow in their education with the right motivation. It is so rewarding to see the children obtain their goals.

I use positive motivation with my students, explaining how subject matter being covered should relate to them and their future successes. I try to link the subjects with current events and how lack of knowledge on specific subjects can cost them either financially or impact their health and well being. For example, when I encounter a senior who is not participating in class, I give them an employment application to fill out, explaining if they have difficulty completing it, they better join the class.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with all learning styles, and have had training in working with many types of exceptional learners, including those with various learning disabilities, ADD and ADHD, ASD, blindness, and giftedness. I am certified to teach both music (PreK-12th grade) and mathematics (6th grade-12th grade). I utilized my positions teaching music to also assist students that were having difficulty in Mathematics and Language Arts during my free periods. Throughout school, I have tutored the other students in my classes after-school when they were having difficulties.
I enjoy catering to various learning styles, and do so with passion and fun! If you have a student that is frustrated or bored with the classroom environment, and you feel that they have not received enough individual attention, I will help them succeed. I believe in education of the student as a whole, and will use your ... read more

I've been teaching and performing music professionally for over 10 years. Since receiving my degree, I've taught chorus, currently teach private lessons, and provided music services for churches in both NC and GA. I have taken music education workshops for several years, had Graduate Assistant experience in the music history and opera during Graduate School classes, and currently perform for educational programs in GA.
My teaching style goes from both pedagogy to description. Once I understand the knowledge of the student, I speak to them on the level of what they know, depending on the age. Since I've worked with students from age 2 to adulthood, I try to relate to students based on their age as well. If the student is not very knowledgeable of music, I tend to explain things to make it plain. Often, professionals tend to speak "over" the student's head with technical words, so t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of teaching, whether it is children in church classes, those studying for high school, or executives in training, relies very much on meticulous preparation and personalization to those learning. I'm extremely patient, can very quickly put people at ease. This makes for more effective learning. My style of teaching, rather than overtly teaching students new things, builds on what they already know, and applying it to different situations. Learning is by stealth, to those who normally struggle in the classroom, and still challenging to those who may be stronger on a given subject. My goal is to make students prove to themselves that they have what it takes to succeed.
