My comments on tutoring Reading Comprehension : I can take any piece of literature, and break it down for anyone to understand. I have conducted numerous readings to people, and always go out of my way to help them understand the subject matter.

I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn.
I like to use the Socratic method, mainly by asking questions and challenging assumptions. In addition, I like to engage those I teach, challenging them to think about what they previously have not considered. I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate.

Grandmother with Open Heart & Open Mind

On the professional end, I was an accountant (CFO type) for a very long time. My most recent "job," though, was publishing a natural health magazine (4 years). I walked away from it all late summer 2011 to work my spiritual path and providing patient and heart-centered tutoring to elementary children works well with this path. Children can feel that I enjoy them so they like me. I am a grandmother of two (2 and 6). I live in Black Mountain area. Contact me at CarolinaLightWave@gmail.com to set up a meeting. With gratitude, Barbara.

All Subjects K-8; English Language Expert; SAT/ACT Verbal

Over twenty years success in teaching, including homeschooling my own four children, has made me an exceptional tutor. I love children, care about their lives and academic progress, and have the experience of classroom teaching to help me relate to students' needs. I am equally at home in the classroom, in groups, in person one-on-one and online.
Caring, concerned, earnest, fun, relaxed

Reading Comprehension is one of my top subjects!

I have a B.A. in English from Mars Hill College with a minor in Theatre Arts. I have extensive experience in tutoring. I worked for a tutoring company in Georgia before moving back to North Carolina, and I had a high success rate--one high school student had a grade increase of 14 points in only two months.

Learning is a life-long endevour.

I try to meet the needs of the prospective student, and teach them in a way that will be beneficial to them.
I have taught Spanish as well as tutored people in Spanish, music (guitar) and English composition. Also, I have some experience with teaching English as a Second Language. I taught beginning level Spanish to 8-12 graders for one year. I have tutored three different individuals in music (guitar) and love helping people to find out how to be creative in their pursuit of music. And, with English, I have tutored one individual with grammar and composition. I thoroughly enjoy writing, and have an eye for good writing.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am all about positive feedback. I think it is extremely important to point out when people do things right, and not just when they do things wrong.
I am currently in school to become a middle school language arts/social studies teacher. I am about to enter my junior year of college. I have volunteered in middle school classrooms. I have been doing one-on-one care with individuals with mental/physical disabilities for the past year and a half working for the Arc of NC. I have volunteered as a tutor at the Pullen Hope Center in Raleigh, tutoring adults trying to get their GED's.

Most recently, I served as faculty for a study-abroad program in Tanzania for Earlham College. In addition to implementing all programmatic activities, I designed and taught a rigorous conservation course. Quality education has always been very important to me. Beginning in high school I volunteered as an educator for elementary children through the "Just Say No (to drugs and peer pressure)" program. At Earlham College I was a teaching assistant for several biology classes and took the initiative to lead a senior seminar for my peers. I paid for graduate school at the University of Michigan by teaching in the History Department all four semesters. I have been a substitute teacher at a private pre-K - 8 school.
In all my varied teaching situations, I strive to make the material exciting and relevant to the students. I am a lifelong learner too and my curiosity about the world ... read more
