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.

Making Learning as fun as possible.

I’ve had many years of practice in the tutoring field dealing with the fact that my brother has a learning disability. He likes to have fun and thinks that leaning is boring, so I try to make learning as fun as possible. Then I have my student on student tutoring when the students tutor each other. I think its better that way because most students don't really pay attention to their teachers but they take it better when it comes from another student. Sometimes its better because something you understand they may not understand and when you explain it to them then may be they will understand it a little better. Basically what im saying is that some kids learn better from other kids.
I prefer to have a fun learning environment. I think you learn from hearing, seeing, and doing.

More About This Tutor...

Classical violin training, I believe, is more effective than Suzuki. In language acquisition, I can work with a student to simulate immersion in a foreign language, or create building blocks towards thinking like a fluent/native speaker.
Linguist, historian,violinist, and polyglot. I speak English, Vietnamese,French, German, and Turkish. Out of these languages I feel I can teach English, German, and Turkish. I am currently learning Arabic and Portuguese. I have experience with language acquisition and would love to work with you on whatever your language learning block is, no matter the language you are learning. As a professional violinist, I have studied for over 10 years and perform regularly with different groups throughout the area. I am a student of the Concertmaster emeritus of the Memphis Symphony, who studied under the late Nathan Milstein. I will also gladly tutor in the ... read more

Anyone CAN learn ANYTHING...I promise. :)

I believe that happy people not only learn faster, but they also retain more. Far too much of our kids' lives are spent cooped up indoors. Therefore, I like to take an open-door approach to learning and like to schedule as many sessions as possible out of the house/library/etc. Each session is guaranteed to be filled with fun learning experiences that the pupil will be sure to remember. A session with a child that needs reading/spelling/comprehension, for instance, could very well be done at the zoo. I want my kids to learn, and have fun doing it! Our planet has so much to offer in the ways of educating our children! I never have to look far to find a teaching/learning opportunity!
Currently a junior at the University of Memphis, I am seeking a Bachelor's degree in English. I love to write, and have always been the dictionary for people, so my concentration is in Creative Writing. ... read more

I have been in educator for over 10 years. I started teaching because of my volunteer work at the Memphis Literacy Council. I love teaching because I believe that education is the key to our country's future in this global competitive marketplace. We must prepare our children for the challenges of tomorrow because we live in such a dynamic world. I believe that every child can learn regardless of his or her situation. When given enough time on task and effective, instruction all kids learn. This is what I do.

Reading is one of my top subjects!

I have been teaching as a Special Education teacher for 13 years. I have been tutoring online 4 about 8 years with different companies. I have worked with K-4th grade, 6-8th, and currently teaching 9-12th grade. I understand that students require a variety of strategies to help them learn and I am willing to go the extra mile to ensure they are successful.
My teaching style varies depending on the need of my students. I always use visual aids, demonstrate or model the task, and engage students through paring, grouping, or role playing.

More About This Tutor...

I first discovered my love of teaching when I was in the Boy Scouts teaching younger scouts skills like building a fire or pitching a tent. In high school, I would tutor my classmates in English, a subject in which I have always excelled. I am most interested in studying history and geography, and I long to share what I have learned. I was a student for six months in Germany and the Czech Republic and can speak fluent German. I have experience teaching guitar lessons, and I am patient and understanding.

Excellent Reading Tutor with 25 years in the classroom/tutor

I have been a teacher in pre-school through 4th grade for 25 years. I especially am gifted in the area of Phonics/Reading Ed.I have tutored 1-on-1 for 10 years and have led group tutoring sessions of up to 15 students. I am current working as a substitute/ tutor with many companies and schools. I can provide references upon request.
When I teach I like to show alot of enthusiasm for the subject that we're working on. I love to learn and I try to pass that on to my students. I use alot of positive reinforcement and praise. I want my students to feel good about their abilities to accomplish their work. My favorite thing is to see a smile on the face of my student when they realize that they can do it!
