I'm Here to Help!

I am graduating with my Bachelor's degree in Sociology at Tennessee Technological University of Cookeville, TN. I transferred from a 2 year community college in Harriman, TN known as Roane State Community College. Before starting college, I graduated from Rockwood High School in Rockwood, TN, where I never made lower than a B or a high C in some of my harder classes. I started taking college classes in my Senior year of high school and I was always in the advanced Math classes up until that point. I'm a quick, fast learner and always strive to be better in what I do. Right now, my major at TTU is in the concentration of Social Work, in which I hope to become a high school guidance counselor or a counselor in practice.
I try my best to adjust my teaching style to meet every individual's needs. I know that every person not only is taught differently, but also learns and understands d ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having a young child myself, I know the importance of education and how parents want to do the very best for their children. My goal as a teacher is to make each student a success. So, I not only want them to succeed, it is my personal expectation.
I have a strong ability in teaching several subjects. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Mechanical Engineering, and I have earned a Masters degree, MS in Industrial Engineering / Technical Management. I have taught/tutored to professionals and college students in all levels of Mathematics. I taught statistics for over 2 years, globally, for my current employer.

More About This Tutor...

I seek a student-centered classroom with a balance of authority and trustworthiness in the teacher so that the students respect me while at the same time feeling comfortable to share their ideas freely. I like for students to apply what they learn soon after the lesson. For example, if the subject was math, and we had been doing multiplication by flash cards, I might ask a question about the number of squares on a chess board. The idea is to firmly ground the students with their comfort zone as foundation and build upon their confidence with new ways of applying what they have learned so that they continue thinking outside of the rote lesson.
After graduating from MTSU, I went to Prague, Czech Republic to train and work as a teacher of English as a foreign language. I secured a position at Bell School International. Here I taught mostly adult students but I also had a few high scho ... read more

I believe that students best learn from doing. My role as a tutor is not just to provide answers, but to facilitate and encourage learning. However I am also able to provide a knowledge base in a number of subjects to help answer questions the student may be struggling with. I am comfortable working with children of all ages to help them meet their full learning potential as students.
As a graduate of a small liberal arts college, I have spent many hours volunteering to help tutor my classmates in both biology and the humanities. I hold a bachelor's degree in biology. I have learned extensive grammatical skills through my school's intensive general studies program. I am confident in my ability to tutor students in mathematics, science, English and the humanities at the K-12 level and biology and English at the college level.

More About This Tutor...

In May of 2010, I will be graduating from the State University of New York at Oswego with a BS in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). In four years, I have gained valuable experience in working with children of all ages through tutoring programs and coaching. I have also been extremely fortunate to have gained experience through Practicum and student teaching assignments.
I am extremely motivated to teach and learn myself and this attitude is carried out in my classroom. I believe that if I am enthusiastic and have a positive attitude, then my students will, too. As an ESL teacher, I have learned that differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students is an absolute must. Every child is unique and learns at a different pace or in a different way, and therefore, I find it necessary to change lessons and activities to meet the needs of every indiv ... read more

I love teaching and working with people. I am very patient, creative and I always strive to meet every student's need. I always make sure the students understand the material before we move on - if they don't I explain it again in a different way and make them do further practice. I like to use lots of examples, real life situations and clues to help the learning process. I like playing games that help with learning. I believe that learning should not be a stressful process, but an enjoyable and exciting journey.
I have a Master's Degree in Biology and English as a second language with a specialization in teaching. During college, I tutored students in biology and environmental science, and also helped them prepare for their English language exams. In the past two years I have taught anatomy and physiology. I am familiar with medical terminology and kinesiology.
