With 13 years of experience in education, I am very committed to help children reach their maximum potential. I am certified to teach ages from infancy through 8th grade, but am willing to use my knowledge and expertise with other ages. Patience, creativity, dedication and loyalty are some of my strengths. I am a hands-on teacher. I love to use visuals, manipulatives, real world story problems and life applications to make learning meaningful and fun. With two children of my own, I am very out-going, positive and patient when helping children to learn.

I try to communicate concepts in a simple and organized way and provide "shortcuts" whenever possible. I also try to keep in mind my own feelings and experiences as a learner of a foreign language (for me, Japanese). This helps me to be patient and understanding of the pressures and difficulties my students face. I use my own experiences as examples when trying to illustrate a point and give advice as a friend would. Hopefully this injects some humor and reality into my classes. I think I have taken my cues from the Japanese kindergarten teacher model, which is that of a big sister. I take responsibility for my students and serve as their role model; I am understanding and patient. I care about the progress of my students because in a sense they are my family and reflect back on me. I began working as an English teacher 6 years ago, when I was living in Japan. I had originally moved to J

As an award-winning writer, my track record offers you a fresh perspective on how students can tap into their critical thinking to better prepare them for Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) tests as well as other real world writing skills necessary to be responsible citizens. As a third-year teacher, some key strengths I offer include a two grade level jump or higher in reading levels in 75 percent my Reading students; a 3.8 Reading/Language TVAAS score—above the 2.8 state average; and training and experience teaching using the Language! approach. Teaching is not a job to me; teaching is a calling that places a responsibility on me to provide my students with the tools they each need for success. I consistently design my lesson plans based on Tennessee State Academic Standards--making high stakes assessment items a priority. When creating lesson plans, I use multiple asses

Not every student learns in the same way, and understanding this simple concept is crucial to successful teaching and tutoring. My goal is to understand where each student is in their larger journey as a writer, as well as where he or she is in terms of the immediate work. I believe strongly in flexibility and patience as a teacher, in remaining open to what students say and to implementing new approaches when necessary. I listen carefully to what a student is struggling with and to his or her history as a writer, before I form a practical plan for improvement. The goal is not only to get through one or two papers, but to identify recurring problems and to understand why this particular student is struggling with these specific areas. While earning my M.F.A. I took an advanced course in the pedagogy of teaching writing, which focused on the teaching of remedial writers. I worked in th

My teaching style varies depending on the needs of my clients. Typically when I tutor more than one student at a time, I like to give frequent assessments (verbal or written). These "quizzes" aren't to punish the students; I use them to assess the needs of the students and the strengths and weaknesses of my teaching methods. The results allow me to adjust my style accordingly and focus on the areas in which the students need the most help. My interest in mathematics is what originally fueled my desire to pursue an accounting degree. My work ethic and study skills are what have allowed me to earn both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in this field. My greatest strengths, however, are writing and composition, which is why I minored in English. I've tutored in English, math, and accounting (jr high, high school, & college-level) for the past 8 years.

It has been said that no one rises to low expectations. I believe that every child CAN learn, but that the process of teaching each child must vary depending on their learning style. Tutoring gives teachers the unique advantage of having students one on one, and allows us to truly discover what methods work best for those students. I have been teaching and tutoring students of all ages for the last ten years. Having graduated with a BA in English, I have learned much about writing and the writing process that I believe could help students at all levels. I have tutored students in English, reading, science, social studies, math, music, and French.

I love Children, I love people, and I love teaching! My Strength is Organization, and my weakness is Idealism. Since my background is in Banking and Finance, and Since Business is misperceived by students as difficult, monetary, scientific, boring, or useless, I want to demonstrate that Business is easy, daily life, a language, very necessary, and revelatory. So, the learning strategies that I will try to instill in each Tutee are self-esteem, critical thinking, problem solving, hard work, and commitment.

I love teaching! My experience as an adjunct professor was one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in a long time. I believe it is my job to motivate the student to want to put effort into the coursework and learn. I do not get frustrated with a student. I will go over the subject matter again and again until I find a method that will get the material across to the student. Everyone can learn! I graduated from Tennessee State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Computer Engineering. I am currently employed as an electrical engineer with Square D. While a full-time student at TSU, I interned in the field of engineering at the Nashville Electric Service Aluminum Company.

I have had the opportunity to work and help develop young minds for a few years. After college, I tutored full time at a high performing urban charter school where I worked on basic remedial skills with students. I have continued to work with young people to build confidence in their skills and improve their performance in school and on tests. I have tutored students from 5th grade through 12th grade, focusing mostly on math all the way to calculus and English. I believe that the most important characteristic that a teacher must have is consistency. The teacher must develop a system of rigorous work with ample support. I believe that it is imperative to possess an in-depth knowledge of the subject which one teaches, not just be a few pages ahead in the book. In order to achieve this high level, I prepare meticulously for each session, reach the student on his or her level and help guide

My teaching style is based upon respect for the teacher and the children. I try to approach teaching not only as a key learning tool, but also how education affects our daily lives. My favorite approach is to connect whatever subject I'm teaching to current events. By doing this, I see that students understand the subject matter better. Also, I believe in discussing the material in a discussion type setting where everyone's opinion is heard, and the students can relate to the subject matter. My experience as a teacher has been a life long passion. I was an early childhood education teacher for three years and taught the full gammet of subjects from mathematics, english, social studies, and so on. Not only that, I taught students from K-8 for the Metro-Nashville Public Schools in all subjects. My experience goes even further. As a Vacation Bible School teacher for three years at my churc

Because I have an extensive background in Psychology, I have a strong understanding of the learning process, as well as many other factors that affect it. I focus on each individual child's strengths and use that to bring their weaknesses up to a higher level. Through patience and encouragement, I believe that most children can experience dramatic improvements in their abilities. I am able to explain complex ideas clearly, in simple terms that are understandable. Then I expand on what the child already understands until they have mastered the more advanced concepts. I greatly enjoy the excitement, challenge, and reward of enriching a child's life through education. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University. This gives me a broad knowledge base in many educational arenas. I have tutoring experience with the program "Second Chance Saturdays" for high
