I have 12 years experience in the healthcare/mental health field and a lot of that experience has been working with children and teens. I work well one on one with children and feel individualized attention provides the structure and support that many kids need. I am available to come to your home as this would minimize distractions too. That depends on the student. Styles can be adapted to meet the needs of the student

I help guide the student along, having them discover much of the information in a trial and error fashion. I tend to use the questions they are struggling with the most, making similar examples, then walking them through these problems and breaking down the problems until the student understands the how the process works. I have been tutoring for over seven years, starting with my peers in tenth grade. I have tutored a wide range of subjects, from Geometry through Calculus III, from general computer knowledge through utilizing the advanced functions of Microsoft Access. I have tutored people ranging from my peers to people three times my age, to as young as third graders. My motto has evolved into "Helping those who feel they can not be helped"

I am a career educator who has taught English and other Humanities based courses extensively since 1988. My primary experience is on the college and university level but I also have a high school and middle school background. The educational and pedagogical philosophy I hold is this: The ability to communicate effectively remains the most vital of skills and is crucial to academic and career advancement. It is with a sense of privilege and honor I teach and with a sense of urgency as communication skills continue to evolve in a quickly changing world. Technology is not a substitute for literacy. It is there as a vital augmentation of learning. Critical thinking is nourished so well-considered and studied opinions are more than welcome; they are essential. Students have conveyed to me that my style is one of "relaxed intensity" with a flair for the dramatic laced with a sense of hum

I generally teach through visual aids and through very thorough explanations. If the student doesn't understand the first time I explain something, I will explain it in a different way and will keep explaining it in different ways until he/she fully understands what's being taught. I try my hardest to teach by explaining concepts logically and showing WHY and HOW, rather than simply saying something is what it is "just because." I have always been an honors student and am currently taking the highest levels of math (AP Calculus) and spanish (Spanish 5) at my high school. I am involved in Peer Mentors at my school and have tutored multiple students in a variety of subjects. I have also tutored students outside of school, mostly in math. I love teaching others and helping them to understand concepts that they previously were struggling with. I am very patient and will work my hardest to ma

I love working with all different types of students from a variety of backgrounds. Through teaching and tutoring English, I often learn about my students' language and culture as well. Not only does this build a great rapport between us, but I believe that learning more about the learner's linguistic and cultural background can help me convey linguistic concepts and ideas much better. Furthermore, I am a very patient and I have a very strong, committed and responsible set of work ethics, and I believe that every task or assignment that I tutor deserves my complete attention from its beginning to its end. My educational background includes a bachelor's and master's degree in linguistics. I have over one year of experience as an ESL and writing tutor, substantial experience in linguistic research analysis and a knowledge of a number of foreign languages including Japanese, Spanish and Baha

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in accounting. I have very strong math skills, especially in Algebra, which is what my daughter is learning now. I excelled in grammar, art, health, and science as well. I was a teacher at a private school for a year after college before I started a family and began home schooling. My daughter is now in the 8th grade and tests at the college level in reading and high school levels at most other subjects. I have a daughter in the 8th grade and a son in the 6th. I have home schooled them the past 9 years. They have very different learning styles which has helped me to learn to teach in different ways to accommodate their needs. I am patient and easy going and I love helping kids.

I have wanted to help others learn for as long as I can remember; even as early as the fourth grade I was helping my classmates with assignments. I have always loved learning and helping others to learn. I earned a BS in Psychology in college so I would have a better understanding of how the mind works and learns. I never turned a person down; if I did not know much about a subject I would research it. I even took a course that would teach me how to assist individuals with essays and research papers. I have tutored students in many subjects mostly focusing on psychology including many different areas such as introduction, statistics and experimental design. I have also tutored in biology, history, math, and basic computer skills. I do not have a particular style of teaching. I prefer to talk to the individual I am tutoring and together discover the best way to teach them the subjec

In my nineteen years experience in teaching and educational administration I have had the opportunity to engage students, ages from ten to adult, located in the United States public school systems as well as the U. S. Navy and Mexico in rewarding learning experiences. I am certified in the state of North Carolina as well as by the National Board of Professional Teachers to teach all areas of the science curriculum; Earth/Environmental, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at the middle and high school level. I am also certified to teach social studies at the middle school level. While an officer in the U.S. Navy as well as a volunteer in the Mexican government program "Pro-Mexico" I provided extensive group and individual tutoring in English and composition writing.

I recently graduated from Wake Forest University with a BA in Philosophy, and a minor in Psychology. Because my major concentration is broad, I have a strong background in various fields--math from years of logic, grammar from years of writing, and critical thinking. For the last 4 years, I have been working with children with autism in both the home and school settings. In this field, I have focused on increasing these children's expressive language and socialization skills. I also have tutored privately in home in the fields of biology, social studies, and mathematics. I am an advocate of early intervention. Especially in the special education field, it is imperative to begin a child's learning at the earliest available time. I do not have a strict teaching style, but, instead, am flexible according to your child's passions and strengths. I believe it is best to transfer knowledg

The first thing that I try to do is get to know my client, mainly focusing on what they both like and dislike about school. Then we narrow it down even further to the subject that they are having problems in. I ask them what they think the problem is, find out what the school/teacher thinks the problem is (through review of their coursework including past homework and tests) and come up with a solution that will benefit the student, teacher, and parent to improve and fix the situation. I recently relocated to the Huntersville area. I recently graduated from UNCW with a degreee in Psychology with a focus on children. Since middle school, working with children has been my passion. I realized my dream after some of my cousins came over to America from the war torn country of Liberia and were having a very hard time adjusting.

I believe that each child learns in a different way, and as a teacher it is my challenge and duty to teach in such a way, to approach the problem from enough different angles, that each student would understand the concept at hand. I love that challenge. I am easy going, patient, and I relate well to children. I look forward to learning with and from each student I encounter. In 2002 I graduated with a degree in biotechnology. During the last semester of school, I was a substitute teacher, where I learned a lot about children and different teaching styles. After graduation, I pursued a career as a chemist, but I always maintained a second part-time job teaching, in some fashion. Usually, that teaching involved a pool. I have been a swimming lesson instructor for 10 years and have been a YMCA swim coach for 3 seasons, coaching over 200 children per year. In these opportunities, I
