I believe that for languages, immersion is the best, if most impractical, way of teaching. Therefore, it is my goal to speak as much in the target language as possible in order to increase exposure to the language. I also believe that repetition is key, but through interactive games and everyday tasks, the rote memorization disappears within the layers of common use. Whether through writing it out, singing a song, or playing a game, each child's individual learning style affects how we can learn together.
I spent a year in Spain teaching English to elementary school students through games and interactive methods. I tutored Auburn students during my time there, and have worked with kids of all ages since I was 12. I am fluent in Spanish and highly proficient in French. My travels have taken me throughout Europe and I love to communicate not only language but the cultures that speak ... read more

Throughout my life I thrive to help others. I worked for Kumon Math and Reading Center and tutored many students from elementary to middle School.

I am currently pursuing my Associates Degree in Journalism. I have had experience interviewing people face-to-face, via email, and over the telephone. I have two boys, age 10 & 7, and have had plenty of experience helping them with homework and studying. Both children have maintained A averages throughout their time in school.
I have a flexible teaching style. I like to suggest several methods of practice and stick with the style the student identifies best with.

I have spent most of my life in an academic environment. I thrive on success- not only my own, but also the success of others around me. I became a substitute teacher in order to gain experience as a classroom leader. Tutoring is a necessary duty of an educator. I believe a one on one environment is conducive to learning and retaining information; being able to receive direct feedback from an educator is one of the most valuable assets to a young learner.

Writing Skills is one of my top subjects! I love teaching young children to write. I have a lot of experience and I have seen amazing outcomes. I teach how to write (how to form the letters) as well as how to write a cohesive paper. I love teaching narrative, informational, and persuasive (opinion) writing. Your child will benefit greatly from my writing lessons.

I provide a positive environment for your child. I like to get to know your child during the first session so that I can create lessons that will benefit your child the most. I make reading fun and encourage reading at home.
I have a passion for teaching. I received my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I am a former First Grade teacher in the Hoover City Schools district. I have also taught in various preschools throughout Florida. I have worked with The Tutor Doctor to help children succeed in their academic endeavors. I take great pride in my love and ability to teach children to read. Reading is my favorite subject to teach and I have a very high success rate! If your child is struggling to keep up with the appropriate reading level for his/her grade, I would LOVE to help you out! I can tutor one-on-one or in a group setting. I provide all my own materials, so you ... read more

Have fun learning and reach for excellence!

I have lead many training sessions dealing with a multitude of different topics. I do my homework, and make sure I am fully prepared before any training session. I want to make sure I know the answers to any possible question before the questions are asked. I have tutored students one-on-one and in small groups from different levels of math to every aspect of English, grammar, and writing. I have taught many classes in painting and drawing, and I am a constant student of all areas of art, including photography.
My personal style of learning is to learn by doing. I get my students involved in any process and get them to actually do the work so they learn it from experience, not just reading about it and taking for granted they know what is going on. Seeing the steps in action and seeing the final result brings a sense of accomplishment, which helps a student learn the correct ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For years, my passion has been “to gladly learn and gladly teach.” Since graduating from law school, I coached Cumberland’s National Arbitration team to two consecutive top 20 placements, taught “Criminal Evidence” to Miles College undergrads, and now will being teaching “Research and Writing” at the Birmingham School of Law. I have also taught karate and coached girl’s junior Olympic volleyball, so I’m passionate and energetic, as well.
My teaching style has to do primarily with desire; that is, if you want it and work hard, you can achieve your goals. One cannot teach or coach “heart” or discipline – that is all I require of my students -- the desire to learn, achieve, get better at what it is they are doing. I will work diligently to understand what is blocking that road to success, teach tips, tactics, and shortcuts to understanding theory, and support a love of the subject ... read more

As a mother of two young children, I want to see all children exceed. Children learn through positive reinforcement and by slowly building confidence, as his or her work improves. Childen should not be made to feel inferior, but need approriate teachings to fit his or her personalities. All it takes is a little confidence to start off with, keep encouraging and praising, and this can be achieved when the tutor works with the child based on his individual strength to learn. Each child is different, and building rapport with the student and having him or her undersand we have all been tutored in some area of school- it doesn't make you 'less smart', but rather smarter. You are taking the opportunity to excel and it can be done.

As a recent graduate, I have learned the importance of education. I have earned a Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology and minor in Chemistry. Not only do I contain a strong understanding in those subjects but took several classes in other areas to become a well-rounded individual. I dedicated my time most of my time to studies but I also took time out to participate in campus activities, as well as, participate in numerous volunteer programs. I received rewards for my dedication to tutoring and mentoring the youth in the inner city.
I enjoy working, teaching, and mentoring children. I have learned to adjust to the different learning styles of children, which makes it easier for the child to feel more comfortable with learning. In order to work with children there has to be a great amount of patience and concern. I have learned patience through working with children from all ... read more

My teaching syle is on a personal one-on-one basis with instruction both thru lecture, hands on and multi-media applications. I believe students only learn thru a multi-level program. Lecture and memorization is not enough. Further, "teaching to the test" accomplishes nothing. Students must learn the content not just the basics.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my years of employment, I have had significant experience in the areas of science and medicine. Currently, I am an Anatomy and Physiology instructor at a community college. My laboratory experience includes being a laboratory technician for BioLife Plasma Services and research technician for University of Alabama at Birmingham. I graduated with honors, cum laude, with a B.S. degree in Biology. Furthermore, I finished medical school with honors and during my matriculation completed two years of clinical experience in the clinic and hospital setting.
Effective teaching involves making sure that the student stays engaged in the learning process. Incorporating different teaching tools such as videos, figures, and real life examples not only enhances the likelihood of the student “getting” the material but also increases their probability of actually retaining it.

A Little Bit About Me...

Education has always been a very important part of my life. After earning my BS in Accounting I have continued my education in pursuit of my CPA. During my college career, I tutored student athletes in accounting, finance, and mathematics.
I truly enjoy teaching and working with children. Every individual learns differently and I feel the key to teaching children is determining that learning style. Through the correct teaching style, encouragement, and patience, each child can excel in any given area. It is very rewarding to watch them succeed.
