I believe a hands on approach to teaching a subject is the best way for a child to succeed. I believe that flashcards as well as games help younger children succeed in mastering a subject. Making a subject fun is key to helping a child tackle a tough subject. For older kids, practice tests are very helpful as well as flashcards. Encouragement and support is also an important part of mastery.
I have been a volunteer tutor at a local elementary school during their aftercare program. I have also been a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Memphis to a first grader who had trouble with math (adding,subtracting, and multiplication). I have also helped fellow peers study for tests and the Reading and English sections of the ACT.

My comments on tutoring Elementary Math : I worked as the Elementary Education Coordinator for Youth Visions, Inc. focusing on reading and math skills for students. The following were taught in Math using multiple lesson plans: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals.

Hello everyone! I would like to think that I'm an all around person, willing to work in many fields. Although most of my educational background is geared towards Psychology, I have plenty of experience with other subjects; the Psychology of learning aids me in being capable to work with other subjects. My past occupational experiences include being a reading tutor for the Memphis Literacy Corps, the Elementary Education Coordinator and Self-Esteem Instructor at Youth Visions, Inc., a youth advisor at St. Paul M.B.C., an actress appearing in several different presentations that include commercials, and being enrolled in a Master's program; I will complete my Master's degree in August 2013.
My teaching style is dependent upon the student's learning ability. Typically I am a hands on teacher and enjoy using as many visuals as possible.

I have been tutoring professional for six years and teaching for five. I am certified by the state of Tennessee to teach secondary math. I have worked with all levels of students, from remedial to gifted. I have worked from age 7 through adult learners and had a positive impact at each age and level.
I spend much of time making the student understand that it is okay to feel behind in a subject and that the student should believe in himself. This belief is built on continued practice on fundamentals that I watch them go through but only ask questions when I see them going astray. Everyone needs to learn the material for his or herself. My place is to make sure they learn the right methods to solve the problem and ensure that they know those methods beyond the tutoring session.

Education is a tool one can use for a lifetime.

I have a total of 6 years experience in teaching. I have experience teaching in a private christian school setting, a public high risk school setting, as well as a public optional school setting. I have taught Kindergarten (all subjects) and 3rd grade (Math). I am certified to teach K-6 but am highly qualified by the state board of education to teach Language Arts and English up to grade 8.
I am a teacher who believes that each student learns differently. I am known to mix traditional teaching with responsive classroom teaching. The responsive classroom is one where there is more engagement and is more student focused rather than teacher focused.

More About This Tutor...

During my experience as a tutor, I like dealing with the type of student who is willing to learn and put forth an effort. I like to show students how to solve the problem and then give them an opportunity to display what they have learned. Math is a difficult subject and it is important to learn the dynamics step by step. I would prefer to help the student who wants to learn and retain versus the crammer who wants to try to learn everything the night before a test. I would like to work with a student on a continuous basis so that I can see the progress being made and see how my tutoring has made a difference.
I graduated from the University of Memphis in December 2005. During my time at the U of M, I tutored college level math courses. I took Calculus I, II, & III and did well in all three. Math is my passion and I aspire to share that passion by helping students through tutori ... read more

I am a strong believer in teaching a student how to learn. By that I mean, students not only need to know a specific subject matter but also how to aquire and use knowledge. My background is mostly in math and it is what I enjoy teaching the most. I like to use manipulatives to teach. I think students learn better if they have a "hands-on" approach.
I am certified to teach in both California and Texas in a K-8th grdae classroom. In California I taught in a self contained 5th grade classroom. In Texas I taught 7th grade math. I also hold a supplementary credential in California for Business.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Union University graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Finance with a minor in Mathematics after studying for a year as a Pre-Med Chemistry major, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last 12 years (a total of five years altogether) I have tutored students in math (algebra 1, 2, pre-calculus, calculus, & college algebra), and chemistry as well.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the b ... read more

After graduating from Vanderbilt University I taught 5th grade for 2 years while working on my Master's at TSU. I then moved to the Knoxville area and taught K until my son was born in 2000. We then moved to Wisconsin where I taught in various after school programs until my 2 children were old enough for preschool. I then went back part time and taught 4 K until my 3rd child was born in 2005. Throughout this entire time I tutored various children ages 8 - 15 years if age.
My teaching style can best be described as varied! I believe that children learn in numerous ways, so as an educator it is my responsibility to provide multiple experiences - visual, oral, tactile, etc. A person walking by my classroom would see children smiling, working in groups, accomplishing projects, and would hear noise.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style has always been "learner-centered". I've always checked first to see what the students' needs were and what their learning style was before I made lesson plans. I have found that if I find something the student is interested in learning and present it in a way that he/she likes, then the student is more likely to engage in the lesson. I've always used the internet as a resource to find the most creative ways of presenting otherwise boring information. I have also found that a lot of support helps the student in the long-run instead of a "sink or swim" approach. Also, the support helps with self-confidence and the student appreciates that the teacher cares and therefore the student cares about learning too. I have always felt that the student is #1, not the teacher and my students see and appreciate that.
I have been tutoring and teaching for many years now. ... read more
