Very detailed instruction. Many people that work in the design business learn by hands on or being shown the steps of how to get where you want to be. I will help you until you get the correct steps. I have been a graphic designer for over 15 years so I am very familiar with the Adobe programs, Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I keep up with the trends and continuously teach myself new "tricks" of the trade. I create an environment where you feel comfortable to ask questions. I make sure you understand all of the steps that you are trying to accomplish and also provide feedback and handouts when needed.

As of June, 2007, I retired with 30 years experience as a public educator. After earning a BS in Communication Education and Biology, the next sixteen years, I served the state of South Carolina as a coordinator of natural resource education for public and private schools activities and programs to supplement their existing curricula. Since, February, 1997, I served Spartanburg School Dist. Five as a middle school classroom teacher of life and earth science. During my tenure, my students consistently met basic standards for 7th & 8th grade science as required by the S.C. Dept. of Education. Over 80% of my students attained proficient or advanced standing in science as measured by the end-of-year state standards testing program. My role in the process of education is to guide students through a systematic methodology designed to create awareness, increase knowledge, and develop skills

I enjoy working with children and have wanted to be a teacher since I was in the fourth grade. My favorite part about teaching is when I see the "light bulb" go on in a child's mind and there is excitement about learning. I think every child can learn and that children need structure and guidance in the learning process. I also believe that children can do more than what we often think they can so they need to be encouraged to stretch their thinking, to use their imaginations, and to not give up when something is difficult or challenging. I have seven years of teaching experience, five of those in Texas and two in South Carolina. I also have three years of substitute teaching experience. I have taught 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, and I have substitute taught all elementary grades and some middle and high school grades. I am strong in both mathematics and language arts.

My teaching style I would describe two-fold: First, my military background taught me their three step process; tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you told them and my own personal style which is a hybrid of the discovery method and guided question and answer. I have always been a firm believer in that there are no dumb or silly questions. If a child or an adult has a question, there is a reason for that question and it deserves the best answer possible. Some questions will be easily answered and some will require work, possibly on both parts, and that it why it’s called the learning process. I have a BA in English from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and graduated in 1986. I am also a former officer in the North Carolina Army National Guard. For the last 12 years I have been in the business world, and that is where I have us

I love working with children and young adults. My challenge as a tutor is to take something that is difficult and make it fun and understandable. Too often students look at teachers or adults as enemies, and I try to take a very laid-back, conversational approach when tutoring. Obviously if the child is being tutored in a particular subject, there is an obstacle or a problem in that area so it is important to build the child's confidence and show them that they can succeed. There is nothing more satisfying. I have always had a desire to teach and be involved in education. After earning a degree in Broadcasting, I decided to change fields and get into teaching. I earned a CELTA (Certificate in English Teaching to Adults) from Cambridge University in 1999. Upon receiving that certificate I immediately began teaching English to adults. I first worked in an on-site language school en

I am a creative and effective communicator with an excellent background in integrated marketing communications. I am passionate about working with children and young adults, especially using writing skills and techniques, grammar awareness, knowledge of the English language, and creative projects. I have a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication with an emphasis in public relations and English, as well as a Master's degree in Communication Studies. Additionally, I have leadership experience with a mid-size consulting company and a large corporate firm. Over the last 10 years I have enjoyed mentoring both children and young adults and believe education brings about positive change. Every child deserves an education and the opportunity to fulfill their goals and dreams, both large and small. I deeply appreciate the mentors and educators in my life and believe giving bac

I love working with people. Getting to know the people you work with is truely the first step to help any educational situation become successful. As I described above, I have many experiences to share from my 13 years of teaching. I am a very open and flexible educator that uses various resources in order to help my students become and feel successful with challenges. However, everyday I continue to learn something new from my students just as they have learned from me. I always enjoy any opportunity to help young generations prepare for the role of future leaders that will shape and take care of our world someday. Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a teacher. Throughout 20 years of school, including my bachelors/masters programs I finished shortly after high school, several wonderful teachers/professors came into my life influencing me into teaching.

I graduated from Clemson University in 2005 with a BA in Early Childhood Education. After my first year of teaching I began earning my Masters in Education from Southern Wesleyan University. I just finished in December 2007! I have been a kindergarten teacher for the past two and a half years in Laurens District 55. Currently I am teaching 4K at a HeadStart school in Greenville County. During the past few years I have taken the time to further my education by participating in classes that will help me be a better teacher and reach children of all learning styles. I love to teach and work with young children. I believe that all children are eager to please us, we just have to be available to hear them. All children are different. We don't expect them to be carbon copies of one another, so why should we expect them to learn the same way? I feel that it is my job, my mission in lif

I am very positive and motivated. Realizing that everyone does not learn in the same way I believe in tailoring learning to the individual. Some are visual learners while others may need to have something explained to them with several different examples based on their individual needs. I believe learning, while requiring hard work, can also be fun. In addition, children and adults are motivated through different means. While an adult may gain a sense of satisfaction from their accomplishment, a child may need something like a "sticker" as a reward. As a Financial Analyst with 15 years of experience, I've worked in many different industries and have gained an in-depth knowledge of Finance and Accounting.

I believe that every day offers the opportunity to either learn or teach or both. There is no situation where there is not something to be gained, or shared. I believe every child is different. The opportunities offered to each child are the same, it is the acceptance and interpretation that is the challenge. I taught at Brevard High School for 4 years as a Computer Engineering and Networking instructor. I am currently working part time as the Computer Lab Instuctor/IT Tech Support contact at Immaculata Catholic School in Hendersonville, NC. I am looking for part time work to supplement my hours at Immaculata. I also have many years of one on one teaching and training with students, workers, administration, and management. In other words, I believe I can work with various levels of understanding.

I love learning and the precision arts such as mathematics. This has driven me to begin in a computer career. I spent almost two decades applying my computer skills. Learning has never stopped for me. But then I love the outdoors and working with my hands. I have taught myself the carpentry trade and the concrete business. I started out by sitting down with the manuals and memorized the building codes before I built my own house. Recently I applied mathematics to a roof I was building. Simple, yes, but not everyone would take the time to lay it out on paper and get accurate measurements. I hope one day that I will be able to combine mathematics with real life applications as I home school my own son. What I have discovered about myself is that I learn differently from other people. I am the kind of person who prefers to set aside that assembly instruction manual and put to

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Clemson University in May of 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. I completed a wide variety of methods classes and classroom observations, as well as practicum and student teaching in 5th and 2nd grade respectively. Through these experiences, I learned to develop ADEPT lesson plans that are content and developmentally appropriate for the age group I am teaching, as well as ways to differentiate learning to suit the needs of each student. Being that I work in a Title 1 school with a high ESOL population, I give my students as many hands-on experiences as possible. I use a lot of differentiation to meet the needs of all academic levels in my classroom (emergent readers-9th grade level). ELA, and especially writing, is my strongest subject, though I teach all subjects to my 5th graders. I believe in the power of encouragement, and that by

I absolutely enjoy working with students of all ages. I place a high value on education because there is no replacement for this key component in a student’s quest for success. I have several years experience as a volunteer coach and understand all too well the delicate balance that exists between teaching, encouragement and constructive analysis. I am a hands-on teacher and firmly believe that clear instructions unified with connected repetition are vital for material comprehension. All students can not only meet, but exceed their academic expectations when given the right tools combined with positive reinforcement I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Information Science and a BA in Political Science.
