My comments on tutoring Geography : I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, and 5th Grade. I am certified K-6th grade. I also taught advanced and Intermediate math and language arts in a GED/HiSet program. I currently teach ESOL/CIVICS for an Adult School.

My teaching philosophy starts out with essentialism which believes in a strong core curriculum and high academic standards. I believe it is important to have a strong foundation on which to build upon. After ensuring a strong foundation I tend to lean more towards progressivism. I believe students should be taught what is relevant today while becoming more independent learners, by utilizing problem solving skills and critical thinking. I teach the foundation and build upon that based upon what is relevant in a particular field today. I also include student-centered teaching strategies. I believe in order to learn a student must have base knowledge of a subject that leads into hands on assignments which require mastery of a subject. Students must have both of these in order to truly master what they are learning. I also believe that team based learning is essential today. It is i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping people of all ages understand the complex processes of our natural environment. I believe it is the role of teachers to lead their students to solutions, rather than just providing answers. I'm very patient and personable and love to help others succeed. I chose environmental science because of its interdisciplinary nature. In order to fully comprehend environmental issues, one must seek an understanding of all natural sciences, sociology, calculus, English, geography, law and policy, and many other disciplines.
I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a B.S. in environmental science and a concentration in sociology and anthropology. I have served as the editorial assistant for the Applied Environmental Education and Communications journal for the last year and a half. I have also worked as a research assistant in the West Offi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a born teacher, and come from a family full of them. For better or worse for those around me, I am always ready to help with research skills and writing, reading comprehension, assimilating mass amounts of information into a comprehensible format (with/for my coworkers and friends). I believe that anyone is capable of mastering standardized tests as well as any task thrown at them by the most grueling of professors. I believe in starting with the basic building blocks, making sure that those are mastered first, while allowing a student to create their own ideas and reach farther than the assignment dictates as they become ready. Everyone, children and young adults, can amaze themselves when given the right tools to accomplish an educational goal. It's not the students who succeed easily that make a lasting impression, but the ones who struggle mightily to get through a basic fi ... read more

As a graduate of both Purdue University and the University of Kansas, I place a premium of education in my own life. In my view, education is never wasted and helps people to understand various facets of the world we live. As an undergraduate at Purdue, I tutored other undergraduates with college algebra during my last year. I found these students benefitted greatly from my tutoring. On average, the students improved their test scores by two letter grades. In having the opportunity to once again tutor students, I feel I will have made a difference in the lives of those students.
Initially, I found that students would have the "oh my god" look on their face when trying to solve a problem. Many of these students benefitted greatly from my ability to break a complex problem into manageable steps they could follow. In the past, I would ask each student what gave them the most pr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to help children understand a subject better. It is a great feeling to see a student get the idea after being helped. I believe that every student is capable of learning; it all depends on their learning style. In my masters program and while I have been teaching, I have learned many ways to get students engaged in the material they are learning. Some students learn better with one on one and some do better with group work. You just have to try different approaches until you see which one works best. Sometimes it just depends on what is being taught. If you show interest in the student he/she will show more interest in your class or subject area and do better.
I have earned my bachelors in Biology which makes me highly qualified to tutor in math and science. While I was in college I tutored students in 3rd-8th grade with math. I also received a Masters degree in Education wh ... read more

My style of teaching is to explain the how and why and then immediately have the student perform a task - hopefully on his own, but with assistance if needed. I then repeat that until a student will take on a challenge and do the tasks solely by himself. I love making a difference in a future adult's knowledge base and skills. I use a lot of positive reinforcement and praise, am professional, considerate and passionate about quality teaching.
I received a BS degree from UTC and taught at DuPont Elementary for 8 years, taught for PC training organizations & then managed a training program at Chattanooga State Technical Community College where I wrote all manuals, taught all classes, & designed all testing. I also tutored for 2 years on a personal level with mostly elementary students in Math & English. I also did training for Erlanger Hospital & Memorial Hospital. I enjoy ... read more

The variety of my experience gives me a wonderfully personal approach to each student. I have taught Sunday School to all ages of elementary students and have also helped young children appreciate the wonder of learning as I taught them kindergarten basics. I have taught English as a foreign language to adults and children in both group and individual settings. I have also worked with a nonprofit organization to teach and mentor adult volunteers, equipping them for peer counseling. I graduated as valedictorian in high school and as summa cum laude in college; learning makes sense to me. My degrees are in English and Spanish, but I also excelled in mathematics during high school to the extent that it was my initial college study choice.
Learning is the chance to discover the wonder and wisdom of the world. My aim is not simply to help people learn; I want to help people love t ... read more

I have tutored K – college-aged students in various subjects. Most recently, I served as a math teacher under the federal Supplemental Education services program. / At Mind Matters Learning Ctr I worked w/ parents to understand their concerns, & corresponded w/ teachers to pin-point areas of need. I also developed entire HS & college course curriculum. / I focus on helping students embrace education as a “means” to a fulfilling future. For my older students, I have a knack for breaking complex info into a language students can better understand. I also incorporate “real-world” examples to incorporate relevance. For elem. students, I create fun games & activities based on curriculum standards.

I believe that the best way to teach a child or student is by listening to them first. By understanding what they see in the subject, I am able to put what they need to learn into perspective for them. Patience and a great listening ear is the best approach when it comes to communicating the right instructions.
During my last two years at Shorter University, I was employed by both the Shorter University Writing Center and the Shorter University Periscope (the newspaper). I spent those two years tutoring students on the composition and structure of essays, and helped them edit and proofread their work. As an editor for the newspaper, I was a mentor to all of my staff writers, as well as a contributor myself.
