I like to use the Socratic method, mainly by asking questions and challenging assumptions. In addition, I like to engage those I teach, challenging them to think about what they previously have not considered. I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate. I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn.

I have experience in private school and public school systems. I completed course hours for college in public school systems as well as working for public and private schools. I have experienced various types of teaching styles while in school. I have learned a long the way every student is different and learns in a different way. In high school and all even through college math had always been my hardest subject. My second year in college I had a math professor that had a different approach to teaching math and for the first time in my life I finally understood math! Finding the

I believe in connecting the learner with the content in order to make the whole process real and relevant, not just isolated pockets of fact-finding. I do this by creating a non-judgmental, non-threatening learning relationship in an environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves. I determine what kind of obstacles a student may be constructing that can undermine his/her ability to be successful in the classroom. I pride myself in being able to help students discover their own best methods for overcoming roadblocks to learning while understanding how to think about how their own thinking! Students enthusiastically and thankfully find that this process serves them for the rest of their educational careers! I have taught both middle school and high school students, and I have extensive experience understanding how adolescents learn. I'm skilled at determining why a stude

As a participant in a bilingual tutoring project, I thrived in connecting with my students and tailoring the lesson plan to their specific needs. I accompanied my students in the classroom, translated assignments from English to Spanish, and provided instruction entirely in Spanish. As a tutor in this program, I received invaluable experience working with at-risk youth from the ages of 9 to 14. These students had varying language proficiencies, and I learned much from helping all of them. In addition to my tutoring experience, I have had at least five years of experience as a peer reviewer both in the classroom for English literature and as a professional editor. I have tutored students in math, ESL, and English literature and composition. My teaching style is based on the needs of each particular student, and, in cases where ability levels are varied, I find ways to use the strengths of

I enjoy working with people and helping them gain the confidence to complete their assignments. Each person is a unique individual with inherent talents and skills, as a tutor I help to facilitate the use of these strengths to build confidence, to help the student enjoy the learning process and to help them succeed in academics and life. I absolutely love to teach, I love to see the spark when a student finally understands a difficult concept and the smile that comes from success! I have been teaching in some capacity since High school.

I am an encourager by nature, build individuals and enjoy teaching. Very patient, easy going, respectful, creative, and try to apply visuals or explain an visual to assist those being taught to understand the subject matter. Always optimistic and upbeat. Try to share enthusiasm I feel in teaching for those to learn. It is always my goal either in academia or ministry instruction, try to broaden ones knowledge, thinking and thought process. Building confidence is key, once one has confidence and encouraged, they learn more and normally thirst for more. I want to make a difference, to help those grow as individuals and students. Being educated and experienced in civil engineering for over 25 years, I have through those years mentored and taught interns.

I believe in a direct, hands-on approach to learning. The main issue many children (and adults) face with learning new material is understanding how the information is applicable to them. I believe in contextualizing information to fit a student's interests and passions so that they are capable of learning a concept that they can then apply to other areas of their life. I engage students through questions, examples, and open conversation. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of South Carolina at Beaufort with a BA in English Language and Literature in 2008. Since then, I have worked as a tutor both in-school and online. During the spring of 2009, I worked as a 5th grade tutor in Language Arts and Math at a Title 1 elementary school in North Charleston, SC. Since the fall of 2009, I have worked as an online writing lab tutor for Smarthinking, Inc. I review and make editing sugg

Since childhood, my hunger for knowledge has driven me to study and learn about almost as much as I possibly could. My high estimation of learning has often led me to help others to learn whenever I can. Always drawn to math and science, I pursued chemistry in college and received my B.S. from North Carolina State University in Chemistry in 2002. In grade school and high-school I was always looked to by my fellow students for help and explanation of many topics. This continued throughout college where I gained a job tutoring at another school and also worked at the study labs of NCSU. Science and math are my passions, but I can help equally with humanities. I begin teaching each tutee by first observing their own approach to studying, listening to their explanations and questions about the material, and indentifying their strengths and deficincies with respect to knowledge of the subject

My teaching style revolves around helping the student rationalize the information. I believe it is highly important the student learns to differentiate between the subjective and the objective, providing them with the tools that they can utilize for the rest of their educational and professional careers. I maintain a high level of patience in dealing with other people. During my studies as an undergraduate and in veterinar school, I have gained extensive knowledge in many subjects. Combined, I have nearly 300 semester hours of biological science course work completed. I am familiar with laboratory procedures and the different styles of writing required for various reports. I also have superb knowledge of what is expected of early studenst to gain entry to and succeed at the higher education level.

As a liberal arts student, I was taught to pursue the bridge between science and understanding. My education has fostered in me an appreciation of learning, and a belief that comprehension is attainable through multiple avenues. If a student struggles by one avenue, then I believe it is my job to pave another. A student must be able to not only know an answer, but also understand how they themselves got to that answer. I strive to nurture a love of learning, and try to pass on that passion. I have ADHD and dyslexia, and as such have an understanding of the difficulties that a student can have when trying to learn. For some students, it is not enough to merely teach them, but they must be taught how to teach themselves. I earned my BS in Biology at a liberal arts school. My education has given me a scientific training that is bolstered with an in depth knowledge of the humanities. Through

I have worked with students in all levels of elementary school through teaching as well as during my college year. Specifically I have been in classrooms of pre-k, kindergarten, third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade. I find the enthusiasm and thinking of students in upper levels very intriguing. I graduated from Clemson University with a BA in Elementary Education in 2007. Upon graduating I have been in elementary classrooms as a teacher for three years. I enjoy working with children one on one. Allowing me to better understand their reasoning and thinking. In my experiences I have found that children learn in many different ways. Based on this I feel that individualized attention to each student makes them more successful in school, as well as, in many life experiences. Children learn by doing. With this in mind I find the best teaching style for each child. I enjo
