Time Tested Teacher

I began my 32 year teaching career in the field of music. I taught in the Visalia Unified School District in Visalia, California. I taught classroom music to children in grades 4-6. This was a job that required traveling from school to school encompassing 12 schools a week. During that time, I worked on completing a fifth year of college in order to obtain an elementary teaching credential from California State University, Fresno. Upon completion on my student teaching in a second grade classroom, I began a teaching position in Lindsay, California teaching 2nd grade for 4 years there. My next four years were spent substituting in the Rock Hill, SC school district after relocating from California due to my late husband's job transfer. I completed several long term as well as short term assignments. After that I secured a position teaching middle school math at Chester Middle Schoo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In order to be an effective teacher one must possess the ability to create an engaging, positive classroom that not only focuses on the major subjects but incorporate the arts as well. I feel that children learn in various different ways and incorporating different methods of effective instruction students will gain the knowledge they need to succeed. I will use new and innovative ways to instruct each and every child in the classroom. Teaching in an environment that possesses a positive energy as well as an active learning environment is the key to successful education. They will be able to incorporate what they learn each and every day in the classroom and apply it to everyday life.
I have recently completed my Masters in Elementary Education and am working at Community Charter School in Charlotte as a Teaching Assistant. I have my North Carolina teaching certification ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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. My license is in English, but I also e ... read more

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 have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades.

Read More About Patricia S...

I am an experienced teacher, tutor, and study skills coach who believes in the giftedness of each and every child and person. Every child is exceptional and deserves to know there are no failures. I've had the joy of working over 25 years in hospitals, public schools, private schools, home school programs and in private work with children and young adults. My experience over the years has taught me that the joy of teaching is skillfully, creatively and artistically/playfully opening potentials of learning with children, guiding them as they experience becoming more confident, trusting themselves, and appreciating their unique talents, strengths, and skills.
My basic teaching style is to get to know the child and his or her strengths, create a loving and safe space where he or she can experience self expression, exploration, making choices, problem solving, being aware of ... read more
