Spelling Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lenox, AL

I have worked as an elementary math and reading tutor under the Supplemental Educational Services for the University of West Florida, and I am currently working as a tutor for Advanced Learners. In the fall of 2012, I will graduate from the University of West Florida with my Bachelor's Degree in ESE Elementary Education with a minor degree in ESOL. Providing a calm and productive learning environment is my goal for each every student. By holding high expectations for learning, I strive to build confident critical thinkers. Through teacher-student interactions, it is important to guide and direct students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make informed choices. Overall, my goal is to help children to have the ability to grow as independent, diligent students who are able to take initiative and responsibility in the

I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. For me, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students as I share my own passion for learning with them. These children are our future. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students not only to receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individua

I began my teaching career by substituting and volunteering at the local schools. I then completed my degree in Middle Grades Education in Social Science. When I began teaching, I taught Reading 3 of the 5 years I taught and fell in love with it. I am currently trying to complete my Reading Endorsement and follow up with a Reading Specialist degree. I am a firm believer that all students can learn if given the proper tools and learning experiences. I utilize a variety of techniques and strategies to ensure my students learn to the best of their ability. I am very passionate about my students learning and very easy going. I have a great rapport with students I teach and will strive to make sure each student has the best education experience possible.

Variety is good! I enjoy working with students of all backgrounds, personalities, and academic levels. I have come to realize that we learn differently. What works with one student may not work for another, so I try to stay as creative, open-minded, and instructionally flexible as possible. I have also realized that most students want to do their best but find it difficult with the distractions and hindrances of everyday life, so I strive to engage students' full attention though a variety of games, activities, and projects. What I love about tutoring (that traditional classroom teaching doesn't always offer) is that I am able to give my students 100% of my attention for the duration of the study period. Though I graduated with a BS in Secondary English Education, I have tutored and worked with students from elementary to secondary levels. From 2003-2008 I taught English and a littl

I would describe my teaching style as "motivating." I believe in encouraging students to perform their best at all times for all assignments. Effort is the most important ingredient to success.

I am winner of the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Writting Award and I have also worked as a substitute teacher for the past 3 years. Lastly, I am TEFL certified.

I love teaching and learning new things and believe it should be a fun experience. I have an 8 year old daughter and a mother currently taking college courses so I have learned a great deal of patience over the years and developed a relaxed, happy personality. In 2005 I graduated from the University of West Florida, earning a BA in psychology with a 3.5 GPA. During that time I was vice president of an on-campus meditation group that lead people in meditation and relaxation techniques. I have assisted many people with tutoring for various types of academic and placement tests, e.g, ASVAB, ACT and SAT, as well as college placement tests for english and math. I have excellent proof-reading/grammar/writing skills and an understanding of APA and MLA formatting. I have experience working at a military base college branch as an advisor/field representative and have gained experience with f

My forte is in volunteer work, teaching and literacy; traits I’ve acquired both in and out of the University. With more than 3 years of experience as an assistant to the Dean of Graduate Psychology at the University of Saint Thomas, as well as my experience working for a Coldwell Banker/Burnet realtor, and my Bachelor of Arts degree in English, History and Latin, I feel that I would be an excellent candidate. As an upcoming college graduate who has explicated my passion for volunteer work, I am dedicated to pursue a career in this particular field. I possess strong leadership skills, academic excellence, problem-solving ability, and top-notch written and verbal skills. My involvement in a Tutor/Mentor program at an international high school was an experience that was invaluable. What I learned is that education becomes a form of symbiosis.

My teaching-style is rigorous yet kind. My students say that no one has ever criticized their writing and thought so thoroughly and constructively. I'm known for my patience working with students with foreign-language backgrounds and other disabilities such as a lack of attention and focus. I learned from my professors at Swarthmore College (and a few at Penn) how to project a non-B.S. style, since kids tend to intuitively realize when their teacher has no idea what he/she is talking about. Coming from a family of teachers and professors (who have also been my teachers), I'm confident that good teaching is in my bones. I never use technology just for the sake of using technology. I became a published author of game reviews for a computer magazine at age 15. I worked at the University of Pennsylvania in Chemical Engineering under an Army Research Office grant, then as a software developer

During my years in college, I have acquired a strong passion for teaching others. I believe every person whether child or not can find their compassion for an education. I want every student to find what makes them passionate about learning. I am very determined to help any student find their learning style. Also, I am very understanding of each students abilities and learning style. I hope to impact each student's education in a positive way. During my years of highschool I strived to maintain a high GPA and recieved the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship because of my academic acheivements. My perseverance and strong ideas of education importance has led me to recently graduate from the University of West Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree. My plans are to continue my education to become a Physicians Assistant. However, my time in between schools can be at least one year. I have

For the past eight years I have been working in the Nashville, TN area. My first year there I worked as a site director for the YMCA before and afterschool program. After leaving the YMCA, I got a teaching job for the Metro Nashville public schools teaching 2nd and 3rd grade. While teaching, I enjoyed working with small groups of students that were below reading level. I taught for 7 years and loved every minute of it. I move back to Alabama to get married and I am currently looking for a job teaching in Baldwin County. I enjoy working with kids and have been doing it for many years. I believe all children can learn but not all children learn the same way. In my past expereience, I have found you often have to go outside the box to find what works and try many different methods. I feel very strongly about small group learning and think it is very effective when it is done in the right se
