A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching social studies in Cabarrus County for the past 12 years. I am nationally board certified and have my AP certification in World History. This summer I will be receiving my IB training and will begin teaching AP world history in the IB classroom. I am interested in tutoring specifically in world and AP world history, which I consider my speciality, but am proficient in all social studies classes and can help at any level. I am familiar with the set up and requirements of the AP World History exam and am willing to learn all there is to know about the other social studies AP exams in order to help a student succeed with them.
I tend to prefer a Socratic method of teaching where the student discovers the answer through discussion, reading and research. I will use direct instruction on occassion when the need arises but my classroom is typically humming with gr ... read more

Geography is one of my top subjects!

I believe every student can learn, and as a result incorporate a variety of learning techniques to address a variety of learning styles. I wish to develop students in the four language proficiencies (reading, writing, listening, speaking), and as a result I use a lot of hands-on activities which involve movement and engagement on the student's part. At every opportunity, I try to create a multi-sensory experience of language learning for my students, so that they may fully "taste" various languages and cultures.
Since coming to the Charlotte region in 1996, I have had a wide variety of experiences as a language teacher, having taught in public, private, homeschool, summer school and tutoring situations. Although my primary focus is teaching French, I have also had the opportunity to equip students in Spanish I and II to continue with their language studies. Passionate about pro ... read more

Let me help your child succeed!

I believe in finding out each student's best learning style and well as his/her strengths, weaknesses, and interests and teaching to take advantage of these skills and learning traits. I love to read and write and enjoy reading and writing with my students. At Southwest Middle School my students consistently show high growth on end of grade testing (EOGs).
I cam currently teaching 6th grade language arts at Southwest Middle School in Charlotte, NC. Previously I taught 8th grade reading comprehension and writing at The Fletcher School in Charlotte. I also taught 6-8 grades English at Providence Day School and 3rd and 5th grades, also at Providence Day, for a total of twenty years at this independent school in Charlotte. I have thirty years teaching experience over all. I have led workshops on the teaching of reading and writing for teachers on the local, state, regional, and nationa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a college student in South Carolina. I have a 3.4 grade point average while also being a student athlete. I enjoy math and social studies. I take a lot of pride in low level English due to the amount of time I had to put into my own education to better myself in the subject at a young age.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a highly motivated and results oriented professional with exceptional leadership and communication skills. Experience in leading and motivating students, parents and collegues. Strong background in the development and implementation of extensive literature based lesson plans for cross curricular units. Proven track record of consistently meeting and exeeding CMS and state mandated goals and objectives, through a diverse range of teaching, training and related experiences.
I truly believe that all children can learn with the right motivation. I have learned that it takes time to find the right strategy for some children, and not all children have the same strategy of learning. I enjoy working with children who others have given up on or can't seem to find the way to get to them. To me there is no greater joy than see the light in that child's eye, when someone has taken t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I’ve spent the past six years teaching and observing students learning in the Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley and Albany school districts. Prior to teaching elementary school children, I taught ESL and French to high school and college students from all over the world. I can teach and tutor in a plethora of subject matters and I love teaching all age groups.
My teaching philosophy is ever-changing and growing and has developed over the years from teaching children and adults. It is my goal to build a community of learners, whether it's one by one, in a small group, or a whole classroom where literacy in all subject matters is achieved. I've found that having a balanced approach to teaching by addressing different learning styles, continually assessing students’ progress and needs, and integrating curriculum whenever possible, helps to achieve this goal. Teaching my students to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice with minors in African American Studies and Sociology from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. While studying at UNCC, composing papers on a variety of subjects enhanced my grammar and sentence structure. Being a Lead teacher at Dixon Academy, supplied me with experience in interacting with both children and their parents from diverse behavioral, cultural, and economic backgrounds. In addition, it was my goal to make sure that my students completed their homework before leaving the center. Helping my children achieve that goal allowed me to apply my knowledge in mathematics, English, art, and science.
The sense of achievement that can be seen on a child’s face after mastering the unknown is why I am passionate about teaching. I am flexible, understanding, and compassionate. I believe that surrounding the chi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am very task-oriented, but I have learned that you cannot teach a concept, you must teach a child. In teaching a skill, a tutor's job is to make it significant to the child's life. I really love and enjoy my students and strive to make sessions entertaining, while we are learning.
After I completed my degree in Psychology, I took up a tutoring job with autisitc children. Although originally intended as "just a summer job," before I knew it it had become my passion. I feel that I have an ability to empathize with children, which truly helps me to understand why he or she may not understand a particular topic. I believe that education is the key to an open mind. Although most of my tutoring experiences have been with academic skills, I believe that I have an ability to help with everyday struggles as well.

Teaching social studies for so many years has allowed me to implement a great variety of teaching strategies, such as graphic organizers, cooperative learning, note-taking guides, debates, Socratic seminars, gallery walks, dramatic presentations, roundtable writing, independent studies, multi-media presentations, etc. As a middle school teacher, I learned quickly how to relate subject areas to the everyday lives of middle-schoolers. I am able to create assignments to cater to all of the multiple intelligences. I have an ability to break down abstract concepts in ways an early adolescent can understand. I strive for excellence in teaching, and I expect the same from my students, regardless of background. Most of all, I have discovered that it is true that students "don't care what you know until they know that you care."
I have taught or tutored students in preschool, middle sc ... read more

I believe listening is a fundamental element of teaching. I provide my students with an enhanced listenting ability in order that I may better serve their needs. I tend to work at a pace that is comfortable for your child without providing pressure or stressors. In utilizing this style of teaching, the experience becomes more enjoyable for your child which, in turn, makes learning not only essential but rewarding.
As a parent, former student, and an educator, I have been teaching children and adolescents for over ten years. I am skilled in the areas of English, psychology, sociology, and criminal justice. I also have a basic knowledge of Spanish having been educated in this area as well.
