American History is one of my top subjects!

I am a high school senior in the AP/Honors program at Warner Robins High School. I have two little sisters who I have tutored since they began school. On average, they have scored higher on tests when I have helped, particularly in the area of social studies. I have also helped multiple students at my school. The average that they score on a test is typically ten points higher than when they study by themselves and, in some cases, twenty points if the student does not study at all. The results are typically better in social studies, the subject which I am most proficient in, but all subjects tend to shoe significant improvement.
I am hands on. I personally learn best from things like powerpoints and handouts. This is also the way I tend to teach others.

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently completed a Youth Staff contract aboard Royal Caribbean. Along with entertainment, we promoted learning and creativity, offering educational activities through science experiments, and expression through art projects, theme nights, and parades. I've taught English classes for kids/teens in Brazil, and led equestrian programs in Greece for troubled and disabled local children. Prior to leaving the US, I filled my passion tutoring “at risk” children after school in Buffalo, and working to develop language skills through cultural activities for families in Boston. I have a special talent for literature, writing, and art, but also love math and science.
I love working with children of all ages, and like combining education with fun. I am a thoughtful, creative, and patient teacher, and like to encourage children to approach problems and questions in their own way, frequently ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was in the Teacher Apprenticeship program from 2003-2004 at my high school, where I taught and tutored two classes of 8th grade students for my mentor teacher. In college, I proofread many papers for friends and did extensive legal research and writing, which continuously improved my writing ability. I vastly enjoy writing papers and performing research for academic purposes, especially on issues relating to international political affairs.
My teaching style is hands-on. I believe that while students gain knowledge through auditory and visual methods of learning, it is vital that they are given practical tasks that put their skills to use. I love seeing kids make mistakes with their work with the realization that they can overcome them through hard work and persistence. I am enthusiastic about education and how it creates endless opportunities for people seeking to make a positiv ... read more

I've learned a great deal of patience over the years and have been told by my students that I explain things clearly and calmly. They've also mentioned in evaluations that I'm compassionate to student needs and generous with practical advice they can use. I've tutored students with behavioral problems and students for whom English was their second language. I'm familiar with the types of assistance these students need. Also, because I work with a variety of traditional and non-traditional students at Macon State, I am aware of the specific challenges facing students with jobs and families.
I am an Assistant Professor of English at Macon State College. I've been teaching composition and English literature for the past twelve years at universities in California and the Boston area. I have extensive experience with one-on-one tutoring, both live and online, to high school studen ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Tutoring has taught me that perseverance and patience are the keys to tackling tough situations, and I try to pass that along to others. I am very versatile when it comes to teaching various age groups. I try to keep my sessions exciting, but focused and instructional. I teach to each to the unique style of the individual student and when instructing a medium to large group, I adjust to the majority learning style;moreover,"no student is left behind."
It is my belief that I do not truly master subjects until I can teach it to others. Thus, I view tutoring as an essential component of the learning process. With respect to my tenure as a tutor in the community of Tuskegee, Alabama and on-campus,this has certainly been the case. From helping to ease students of their confusion in the laboratory, to leading review sessions in front of spacious lecture halls, my experiences as a tutor h ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Since my mother owned a day care center when I was a teenager and through my college years I have enjoyed tutoring students of all ages. I have understood students who struggle with different areas of study because I use to be that student when I was in elementary. From personal experience I have reap the benefits of having a tutor and learned several skills during that process. It is important to find solutions an order for the student to become self reliant and confident in their school work. I love seeing the progress from the beginning to the end in hopes of bring them to the next level of their future.
As a recent college graduate I have achieve various accomplishments in my college career. Within my completion of earning my Recreation and Sports management degree. I have gain the necessary knowledge to tutor students in algebra, and biology as well as several other courses. A ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator, I recognize the importance of teaching and the impact that it has on the lives of students. My goal as an educator is to enhance student learning and to maximize individual learning potential as much as possible. This can only occur if the learning experience is welcomed and groomed to meet the individual needs of the child. To obtain knowledge is to obtain the recipe for success in life and as an educator; I am one of many individuals who should help facilitate that process.
My first tutoring experience occurred during my attendance at South Georgia College (SGC). At SGC I was a tutor for Student Support Services and was responsible for providing academic tutoring to my peers in various academic subjects. After graduating from SGC, I continued to provide tutoring services with the Sylvan Learning Center and the America Reads program at the University of Georgia. Un ... read more

I love coaching and mentoring children and adults. I believe that no matter how young or old you are, education is worth learning. What I love most is seeing the new development and excitement students get once they not only have learned something new, but actually comprehend and apply it to their professional or personal life for the better, or greater achievement towards the academic journey or pathway. I utilize various strategies because of the various learning styles. When interacting with students, I incorporate audio, visual, and interaction. This gives every student the ability to understand the subject matter at hand, strengthen social/networking skills, team building skills and communication skills, just to name a few.
I am a dynamic individual with the ability to maximize & enhance an individual's desire to learn, utilizing motivational learning and leadership. I obta ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had an avid love of learning. I attempt to make my students love it too. I try to incorporate things the students like into the lessons (for example, I used football scoring to explain mathematic concepts to a 10 year old boy). I also am a firm believer that mistakes are part of the learning process; if you are able to see where you went wrong and fix it, you have succeeded in understanding the material.
All throughout my school years, I was a highly motivated student. I was in the accelerated programs from first grade to my senior year in high school. During high school I was not only in the accelerated english program, I also took many Advanced Placement classes and was on the accelerated math track. I was even able to finish my bachelor degree in International Affairs in three years. During my senior year in high school, I tutored my student in all of his subjects ... read more

More About This Tutor...

After over 20 years of teaching, elementary (3), middle school (15) and adults (2), I have learned to use a variety of teaching techniques to assist students in understanding most science and social science concepts. I am a very passionate learner and teacher who cares that every student who wants to learn can have every opportunity to learn. I personally overcame learning difficulties with help of some very caring teachers, eventually graduating from college with honors.
Although I have retired from teaching full-time, I still have a desire to help students to learn on a one-on-one basis. I have extensive academic and teaching experience. My ability to explain new concepts in ways that students can understand them is one of my strongest points.

It is much easier to learn, if you know the instructor is working with you and for you. I think if the person is in a relaxed atmosphere and they know they are moving forward toward their goal, they will feel the rewards of their efforts. It is easier to learn when the instructor and the child are working for the same goals.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management and a minor in Psychology. I have had several years of experience working with the public. I enjoy working with children and helping them to succeed. I have the patience to help them achieve their goals. I have worked with adults helping them achieve their GED and placing them into training programs.

I have been driven to excel in college and in my career in logistics. I've graduated from two of the top universities in the US, and retired from the USAF as a Major. I'm also a graduate of Air War College. I've traveled the world as an instructor navigator and defense contractor, learning about many cultures and religions. In addition to Spanish, I also speak Turkish. I also owned my own logistics services business, winning a contract with the USAF.
My technique in teaching navigation was to expose the student to the underlying physics of dead reaconing and celestial object movement. Then we would put the theory into practice in the air. I strove to always give positive feedback and encouragement.

With my collegiate experience, I have taught as a ESL assistant at school; helped special needs college students through reading and producing Books-on-Tape; and served as an ESL tutor for Inlingua. Indeed I have developed and perfected my communication and writing skills from writing research papers, laboratory reports, essays and public presentations of my work.
Teaching is my passion and I highly enjoying working and educating others. I believe that teaching should be implemented with enthusiasm, love, passion and innovation. A child should be given the best learning environment that will facilitate exploration, independence and growth. Thus the child will develop a natural desire and motivation to learn with and without the presence of a teacher. My teaching style is that of a facilitator and demonstrator.
