Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lexington, SC

Direct Instruction I would like to advise you of the experiences I have working with the STEM program. I have completed three weeks of training in the Project Lead the Way program at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. PLTW has prepare me with the tools I need to execute the STEM curriculum in Middle Schools. I was able to receive training in the areas of Automation and Robotics, Design and Modeling and Medical Detectives. These three areas in the middle school have allowed me to prepare students for the 21st century. In these three areas, students are introduced to world of engineering with building robots, designing solutions to real life problems, and the biomedical science field. The students are able to explore, think outside of their box and challenge themselves with justification of theories and principles of science, technology, engineering and math. My academic

I tutored Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Biology and Chemistry while I was pursuing both of my degrees. Not only was I a tutor, but I also sought tutoring for myself! I feel that tutorial sessions can help students get a better understanding of a subject outside of daily classroom lectures. The student gets that one on one time that they may not always receive in a classroom. Each student has a different degree of learning and that's what makes us all unique. I believe that "patience is a virtue" and would make every attempt to be one of the best tutors that you have known. Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to being of service to you soon.

My tutoring style is somewhat laid-back with serious undertones. I feel the best way to learn is to not have information force fed, but to allow the individual to glean knowledge and come to an understanding of the subject gradually. While I am serious about learning and education, I also consider my sense of humor my strongest personality trait. I believe being able to interject humor into learning is often times crucial to the learning experience, as long as it comes second to actual learning. I have a Bachelor's in Computer Science with focus on the Microsoft languages (C++, C#, ASP, dotNEt, etc.) The requirements for this degree was heavy in math. I do, however, feel better qualified in verbal and writing skills. I also have a minor in Philosophy and Theology. This ties in with my High School and middle school upbringing, having attended a Catholic middle and High school as well as t

I love math, and am excited about others enjoying it as much as I do. I have earned a BA, with a minor in Accounting with plans to continue my education to become a CPA. Even though I have not actually worked as a tutor through North Greenville University, I have assisted with friends and classmates multiple times to assist in basic Mathematics, such as Algebra and Geometry, and also in Accounting courses I have taken throughout my college experience. I enjoy seeing others achieve their goals and begin to comprehend things they didn't before. During the times I've helped other students and friends, I have always had a lot of patience. I know that these things don't come fast, and so I take the time to teach the material, give them time to try and do the problems on their own, and then go back over the material making sure each point is understood, even the places where the student may ha

After completing my bachelor degree in Elementary Education, I began teaching First Grade. Each day I was responsible for a maximum of thirty children at a time. I taught Bible, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Arithmetic, Poetry, Science, Health, Art, History, and Writing. During the four years of teaching, I have tutored various children with learning difficulties. Each day I tutored children in Arithmetic, Phonics, Reading, and Writing. I am patient, and have an easy going personality. I enjoy working with children, and seeing them understand new concepts. Having worked with many children on a daily basis, I know that each child can succeed. I believe that learning is accomplished through both discovery, and in traditional methods. My goal is not only to help children learn, but also, to make a difference in their lives.

Most of my professional teaching experience was with Lexington/Richland School District 5, where I substituted and taught General Music from 1997-2008. During that time I worked with students from Pre-K - 5th grade, and I enjoyed interacting with each age group. One interesting thing about teaching music was how the lessons often carried over to other subjects, so that in music class we also worked with math and science (music theory), reading (song lyrics), and social studies (music origins and styles). In addition to classroom experience, I have also worked one-on-one, teaching private piano lessons and tutoring with an adult literacy program. My college credits included 15 hours in French and an English minor. I enjoy working with all children and getting to know them individually. As their teacher, I try to guide the students’ learning while focusing on their needs and goals. I

As a graduate student earning a Master's degree, I have always worked very hard. In high school, I graduated with honors and throughout the journey of both degrees, I have always maintained at least a 3.5 GPA. I have always excelled in math. I enjoy reading and I would like to have an opportunity to shine that light on everyone through tutoring. I have tutored friends and family members for quite some time and I am currently tutoring. I enjoy teaching and enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone. Everyone can learn and I believe some learn different than others. I believe in patience and different teaching styles. For some, hands-on techniques works better while for others, a traditional learning style along with dedication may suffice. Whatever the approach may be, a supportive and fun atmosphere helps enhance the learning experience.

I believe in teaching through doing. When I taught German I conducted my class almost completely in German (the beginner level), and while this would seem difficult for the students to learn my students scored excellently on their tests. With enough support that they are capable of doing it and flexibility on the side of the teacher, a student can achieve whatever their goals may be, without having the bored of memorization. Having obtained a Masters Degree in Comparative Literature I have learned to best mold my teaching methodologies into the educational needs of my students. I have taught freshman German at the college level as well as have extensive experience tutoring while I worked at the University of South Carolina. Finally do to my various educational background (I have studied everything from literature to biochemistry) I am qualified to tutor in a wide variety of subjects

As a first generation college student, I understand the difficulties that many students have to face throughout their education. I am patient, caring, and passionate about ensuring each student accomplishes his or her goals. I have worked with many different students, and understand that each student learns differently. I am devoted to tailoring the tutoring sessions to each student so that they may learn effectively and obtain the most from each session. I believe that encouragement and support is necessary to build enthusiasm and foster confidence in each student throughout every step of the learning process. I have earned a bachelor degree in Biology from Harvey Mudd College and master degree in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University. As a result of this, I have gained a high level of proficiency in the subjects of math and science. Additionally, I have extensive writing experien

In my ten years of experience as a teacher I have accomplished many things of which I am proud. My second year of teaching I was asked to implement a reading intervention program district-wide. After two years of that, I started a school within a school for at-risk students. The last two years of my career I helped to pilot and then implement single gender classrooms school-wide. Four years ago I decided to pursue my National Board certification. I have my MAT as well. In addition to these things, I also sponsored Beta Club and Student Council for three years. I have tutored seven year olds through adults. I have tutored reading, math, SAT prep, and GRE prep (verbal and quantitative.) I believe to be a good teacher you have to be creative, patient, challenging and persevering. I love working with students who have not had success in school and show them how to reach the go

I am a zealot for learning and teaching. Once you stop learning, you are not able to teach. I have earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication and a Master's degree in Business Administration. During the last ten years I have taught students in psychology, business, and developing effective writing skills. I love teaching and working with adults and children. Each individual has a different learning style. Therefore, my teaching style will adapt to the individual learner. I have the patience and persistence to assist an individual to achieve academic success.

I just recently completed my first semester of teaching University 101 at the University of South Carolina. This course allowed me to find out how much I enjoy teaching. I like to be able to make a personal connection with the students and learn about their learning styles and much more. I feel like each person who is in a teaching capacity has the ability to motivate and help each child in the classroom. It is just up to each one of us to decide how much time and effort we are willing to put into each student. As for me, I am always willing to help each student reach their full potential, even if that means a little extra work from me. I graduated with an M.Ed. in Higher Education and Student Affairs from the University of South Carolina in May of 2010. Directly after graduating, I began a career as an Academic Advisor in the Moore School of Business Undergraduate Division at the Univer

A description of my teaching style would be: building relationships. As a teacher I feel I am patient and caring. I feel that in order for children to learn they must feel valued. This is true with all humans. Studies show that students learn best when they feel safe and valued, and this is the type of environment that I like to set in my classroom. I also feel that in order for children to understand and connect to new knowledge, they must first connect to prior knowledge. This type of approach I feel is essential in teaching children new concepts. I allow my students to be the leader, and play a role as an expert while making connections between new and prior knowledge. I feel that this builds a child’s confidence and gives them the support they need to take risks. I do understand that they are different types of learners and as a teacher I differentiate my instruction based o
