Carpe Dieum...Sieze the day!

I have my Pre-K through 8th grade elementary education credential from West Virginia, California and North Carolina. I have also taught High School classes and worked as a guest lecturer for college level courses. I have 10 years of experience as a teacher and I have my administrative credential from CA. I have worked eight years as a school administrator at private and public schools.
Motivation is the key to everything we do in life. I use this to drive my students to excel beyond what they think they are capable of accomplishing. I utilized experiential theory and real-world experiences to drive my education to make lessons relevant, fun and interesting. I utilize the constructionist learning theory where I establish where my students are with the given subject and attach new knowledge structures to support continue growth where they build their overall schema and level of under ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Education, teaching in particular, gives individuals the opportunity to give back what they have received. It is communication on a broader level than just simply putting forth information to whomever chooses to accept it. I started my career in education before I set foot on a college campus, through a peer-tutoring program in my high school. This experience allowed me to work with severely disabled peers learning functional skills for independence. Since then I have worked as an aide in emotional/behavior and multiple-disability middle school classrooms, as well as LD-resource, ED self contained and SC occupational diploma program. In addition I have earned a degree of distinction with the National Forensic League, been name a scholar-athlete in South Carolina and a host of other accolades in scholarship. I have experienced both urban and suburban school settings and have had inc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.

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.

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I have been self employed for the last 6 years, I went back to school last year to add Science and Math for middle school to my certification. I passed the Praxis for both of those subjects spring of 2010. I was not able to get a full time teaching position this year. I went back to working for myself but would love to tutor. I have tutored for 3 years while I worked for Tryon Elementary school. I had great success with the students I worked with, in particular concerning math. I am very qualified to work in a tutoring capacity.
I believe in good classroom management and organized lesson plans. I set appropriate boundaries and expect the students to follow the rules that are set before them. That being said I try to make the learning as fun as possible but organized. I also try to bring in anything that they are interested in to make them enjoy the subject they are ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 used my degree the most. I bring to the table real world English skills. On average, I produced 8 – 10 written documents per month that my employees used as their guide in the performance of their duties, each tailored to a specific situation. Some very detailed, some not so detailed. To produce these documents, I read approximately 3 other documents along with my job experience.
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 ... read more

I have had 7 years of life experience teaching both of my daughters and their friends about the world around them. I teach them about the basics of geology and life science including plant life. English and spelling. Also I teach them about the basics of freehand drawing. We work on line spacing and using geometric designs in their drawing. And using negative space in their drawings.
I believe that involving the student with as much hands on learning as possible, helps them in being able to relate with and withold what they are learning. Also paying attention when there are areas of struggle for the student and focusing attention on them. I like to have fun while teaching in order to take some of the pressure of learning off of the mind.

More About This Tutor...

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 environment and then later in a more freelance, corporate environment. After teaching adults for a few years I then began tutoring students in English conversation, grammar, written comprehension and expression and pronunciation.
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. ... read more

I enjoy working with students of all ages up through 6th grade. I firmly believe that all students have the ability to learn...some may just learn in different ways. I'm very patient and considerate of the capabilities my students have or perhaps may be working on. I wish to help them succeed to the best of my abilities. I want to make it a fun, inviting environment for them so that they will want to learn and maybe even enjoy learning. I want to make an impact in the students I teach.

I believe all students can learn. I am a very patient and easy going teacher. I use humor to break the tention when the stress gets to high for students. I do however set very high expectations for my students. But they always seem to achieve the goals that have been set. I know they can work to or serpass their potential. Teaching students is the key to change in the world because we can only change through being educated. So I work hard for my students and expect the same in return.
