My philosphy of education is that children learn through real-world experiences and tapping into their interests will foster their educational development. Another key factor in helping students achieve academic success is assessment and observation of individual learning styles and multiple intelligences. Honing those positive features in students will inspire and motivate their learning to new levels. I believe strongly in problem-solving and hands-on learning to promote higher level thinking skills. I feel children have just as much to teach as they do learn, and that cooperative learning will benefit them not only academically by teaching themselves and their peers, but also socially to promote and build self-esteem. I have a BS in Elementary Education and a MAEd in Curriculum & Technology. I am a K-6 certified teacher in North Carolina, and I have taught second, third, and sixth gra

Earning a degree in Communications accelerated my skills in writing through Journalism, research papers and Rhetorical studies. Additionally, writing is something I enjoy and practice on a daily basis. It has been a number of years since I have tutored a child however, I would like to incorporate my vocational experience as well as my collegiate studies into my teaching practices. I would love the opportunity to teach grade school children. It was during my formidable years that I can recall a young lady who impacted my education in a very significant way. Additionally, I also have very fond memories of several children who I mentored through tutoring. My innate enthusiastic nature has facilitated a strong desire with the children to participate in the learning process in many unique ways. I gain tremendous joy and satisfaction through observing this process.

Through my experience working with students, especially as a substitute teacher, I have learned that each student has unique and individual learning needs. Some students are able to retain and comprehend information when presented orally; others are visual learners, while some students work better by learning through example. My goal is to discover what learning style best meets the needs of each student and then utilize the appropriate techniques to reach the highest possible success rate. I am a patient teacher who understands the importance of consistency while remaining flexible. I also understand how frustrating learning can be to struggling students and try to make learning fun and applicable to everyday life. Students need to know that others believe in their success in order for them to achieve success. Graduating from a liberal arts college, I had the benefit of studying various

My method of teaching varies with the subject. A spanish tutor and a chemistry tutor can go about things quite differently. I like leading students to find answers on their own so that they understand the paths they are taking. That method is especially helpful in hard sciences and math. In the liberal arts (poli-sci, literature, religion, philosophy, etc.) I like to work in the Socratic method. I'll challenge the students on topics and concepts with questions that need some thought. I want them to discuss issues with me, and that allows me to help expand their understanding and discover weak points in their knowledge. Since high school I've been working with my peers to help clarify subject matter, as that was my favorite method of study. In college I tutored under-classmen in Spanish, chemistry, and political science. Since graduating, I've worked with college freshmen as a writing tu

My teaching style is diverse and dependent on the group with which I am working. I believe that different people learn in different ways, so I prefer to employ a wide variety of teaching methods in a group. With individuals, I tailor the teaching method to that individual's strengths. I believe strongly that anyone can learn any topic given the right instructional methods and enough time to process the information. One year prior to my doctoral degree I began teaching at the University level. At the same time I was teaching as a substitute at the elementary, middle school, and high school level, while acting as Superintendent of the preschool education program at our church. Throughout my career I have chosen to work with organizations focused on collaborative scientific efforts across disciplines to discover cures for diseases, to understand the mechanisms behind those diseases in orde

I believe students have the potential to master anything they find interesting. It is my job, as a tutor, to engage each student in a way that motivates them and helps them believe in themselves. I look for experiences in each student's life to help them connect with the learning process. As I teach, I look for ways to help students develop many skills and talents. I have spent many years researching, writing, and presenting Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. I model my teaching style in a way that reflects my student's development across all of the intelligences. In addition to earning an MBA and a BA in Political Science, I have just completed my Doctorate in Education. I have extensive writing, grammar, and reading comprehension skills from writing and researching my dissertation and numerous research papers. I have worked in government, education, and business

I love teaching and working with all chldren. I use my academic training and teaching background to make a solid contribution to educational experiences that will inspire and enhance the lives of young children. My goal is to teach in a way that makes learning fun and exciting. Some children learn by listening, some by seeing and touching, but all children can learn. You just have to take the time to find out how they learn. I have taught children for 15 years. I have taught Vocal Music for 1 year, and taught Elementary Ed. for 14 years. I have tutored for Sylvan Learning, and Academic Acheivers. I have taught Summer School for Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools for 6 years. I have taught for Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools for 14 years.

I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and their North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program. In the Teaching Fellows Program, I was able to interact with students in a variety of settings, including one-on-one and in the classroom. I come from a history of educators who have instilled in me a high regard for education and the belief that all students deserve the opportunity to succeed. I have earned a BA in Romance Languages, with a concentration in Spanish, however I am familiar with the French language as well. I am currently seeking North Carolina teaching licensure from UNC Charlotte. While working with students at the UNC Hospital School in Chapel Hill, I discovered a passion for helping the non-traditional student to achieve success in the traditional classroom setting. I found that patience was most important, but also by making the material relevant

Upon my graduation from UNC Chapel Hill, I worked various jobs; however, I could not find fulfillment in what I experienced. I decided upon moving to Charlotte in March 2006 to go into Secondary Teaching in English. I gained an excellent education at UNC Chapel Hill and UNC Charlotte. I have one year of public teaching experience and two years of tutoring experience. I have been told often I am especially patient, which I believe is one of the most important qualities for a teacher to have. I know from experience that not all children learn in the same environment, so I would love work one-on-one with a student to help him or her to gain the experience that may be lacking. Each person has different strengths, and those strengths may not always be recognized in the classroom setting. Many students have unrealized strengths and abilities.
