More About This Tutor...

I am thankful that I had some "hard" teachers and professors throughout my education. I have honestly grown to understand the importance of success and how nothing worth having comes easily. My approach to learning is straight forward. Who? What? When Where? How? Learning should be fun. However, I donot believe in holding anyones hands. I expect my students to put as much effort as I myself am giving. Yes, every student learns in different ways. It would be my job to discover the best approach for each student.
I have earned two degrees. At Georgia Southern University I recieved a B.S. in Nutrition/Food Sciences. While in Statesboro, ga completing my studies I served as an after school tutor for elementary students in the Bulluch County after school program. I recently graduated from Sanford Brown Institute in Atlanta, GA where I earned a degree in Diagnostic Ultrasound Te ... read more

I teach English as a Second Language in the evenings to adult immigrants in the Wichita area. This is a very rewarding experience; the students are eager to learn, and grateful for all I can share with them. My reputation as a good teacher has resulted in some individual requests for private tutoring. One family has called upon me to tutor their sons in grammar and reading comprehension, as well as to help them with various papers as they progressed through middle school, high school and college coursework. My qualifications include an M.A. degree in Education, and a B.A. degree in Psychology. My experience is varied; in addition to teaching, I have worked many years as a Program Consultant for the Kansas Department of Corrections.

In the past I have worked as both a teachers aide/paraprofessional and substitute teacher for a total of 4 years. While working as a teachers aide I worked with individual and groups of elementary level students on course work throughout the day.

I currently work as a pre-k teacher. My work day consists of teaching my students their numbers, letters, letter sounds, and basic counting. I am certified to teach Kindergarten through 6th grade in the state of Kansas. My specialties are reading, spelling, phonics, and Kindergarten through 3rd grade math.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching, in some form, has been a part of my life for the last 20 years. During that time I discovered for myself that students learn in different ways. I believe in a positive and encouraging teaching style utlizing varying explanations. I love instructing one on one and seeing the lightbulb turn on when a student gets it. I am reliable, easy going, and eager to make a difference in lives, one at a time.
After obtaining a BA in Business Ad, becoming a CPA, and working ten years as an accountant/auditor, I focused my skills towards teaching. I taught accounting and business math 4 yrs at a business college and community college. In addition I have used extensive grammatical skills in writing audit reports and business letters. I also have many years volunteering in various children's programs. Most recently is five years as Children's Teacher/Supervisor of a weekly prescho ... read more

In conclusion, I think that I can still be successful in teaching. I however, need to find what area that I can be most successful at. I think that with my non-traditional training and experience, that a similar position would give me the opportunity to be most successful. One thing that I have thought a great deal about these past few weeks, is that I am entering middle age and must be a success at something. In the past, I have found the most enjoyment and fulfillment working with special needs and incarcerated students. I hope that this time, t hat I can be more persistent, responsible, and realistic in my teaching and counseling career.
Since my previous experience has been working with fairly non-traditional students, I would like to find a similar position. I have applied for several positions that have opened up in public school ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Being a big sister has always been my favorite job; therefore, I have always sought out opportunities to mentor. I believe that each child is unique and learns at his or her own pace, and in her or his own special way. Each person understands concepts differently, and I believe that, to be effective, a teacher must discover from what angle to approach a lesson, for the student's optimum ability to absorb the information. I am very patient with my pupils, and I try to create an environment for the student that is comfortable and friendly, so that they feel safe to learn and apply the things they are learning.
I graduated cum laude from Baylor University, in May 2009, with a bachelor's in Professional Writing. My G.P.A. was 3.8 on a 4.0 scale. During my time at Baylor I discovered a love for history, and graduated one class short of a history minor. I worked as an editing transcripti ... read more

My style is relaxed and informal, but effective. School already provides enough structure, and with a relaxed mind, information can be processed more easily. 1 hour sessions multiple times a week is the best way for the information to sink in.
I have held informal teaching positions throughout my entire life. I have tutored everything from pre-algebra to Calculus to Piano. I'm currently employed as an after school tutor for middle school students, 6th grade to 8th, and independently tutor on Saturdays.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe education is the window to success. There are as many teaching styles as there are learners and the true key to success of any teacher and/or student is finding the partnership that works. I won't do the work for the student, but I'm patient in assisting a student in achieving their own goals and fulfilling their needs. Kids are great! Learning is great! I love to read and write. Now, I'm reading about 1,000 pages a week and would love to have a buddy join me. It's truly a wonderful way to go. One of my favorite quotes is "To write well, read." They go hand in hand.
My first career was teaching. I always thought it would be a good place to start and a springboard to another career perhaps in business. As it turned out, that's what happened. After 7 years teaching in the public schools, I went back to school for my second masters degree and prepared for my business career. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The combination of educational studies and day to day real life work experiences give me a unique perspective in my teaching and tutoring. I have written many lengthy reports, essays, research papers and industry training materials. This has trained me to be methodical in writing and consise with facts and figures.
What I enjoy the most about teaching is to connect with the student. This gives me the opportunity to not only help in the learning process but also to help them find joy in learning. I allow students to experience success as well as failure. I encourage them to learn from mistakes and not be afraid to try.
