Psychology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Macon, TN

I took Psychology at an advanced placement level and maintained an A average throughout the course. I have been a volunteer tutor at a local elementary school during their aftercare program. I have also been a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Memphis to a first grader who had trouble with math (adding,subtracting, and multiplication). I have also helped fellow peers study for tests and the Reading and English sections of the ACT. I believe a hands on approach to teaching a subject is the best way for a child to succeed. I believe that flashcards as well as games help younger children succeed in mastering a subject. Making a subject fun is key to helping a child tackle a tough subject. For older kids, practice tests are very helpful as well as flashcards. Encouragement and support is also an important part of mastery.

After graduating from Vanderbilt University I taught 5th grade for 2 years while working on my Master's at TSU. I then moved to the Knoxville area and taught K until my son was born in 2000. We then moved to Wisconsin where I taught in various after school programs until my 2 children were old enough for preschool. I then went back part time and taught 4 K until my 3rd child was born in 2005. Throughout this entire time I tutored various children ages 8 - 15 years if age. My teaching style can best be described as varied! I believe that children learn in numerous ways, so as an educator it is my responsibility to provide multiple experiences - visual, oral, tactile, etc. A person walking by my classroom would see children smiling, working in groups, accomplishing projects, and would hear noise.

I am certified to teach in both California and Texas in a K-8th grdae classroom. In California I taught in a self contained 5th grade classroom. In Texas I taught 7th grade math. I also hold a supplementary credential in California for Business. I am a strong believer in teaching a student how to learn. By that I mean, students not only need to know a specific subject matter but also how to aquire and use knowledge. My background is mostly in math and it is what I enjoy teaching the most. I like to use manipulatives to teach. I think students learn better if they have a "hands-on" approach.

Also, during my four years of college, I tutored three different students, one in reading and the other two in English. From August 2009 through January 2011, I was employed at a child care facility where I was director but spent most of my time tutoring and assisting the after school kids with their homework and projects. My strongest subjects are English and Reading. However I'm qualified in all subjects kindergarten through sixth grade. I'm currently enrolled in graduate school at The University of Memphis. My passion is teaching, encouraging, and motivating students. I believe that all students have the potential to succeed in life and reach their dreams and goals.

My teaching style engage learners. I am an active learner which requires real life learning experiences. I believe students learn best when they are actively participating in the learning process. In my opinion learning is a lifelong journey that requires educators to be willing to teach as well as learn. I have extensive experience in human development and learning. I understand as an educator developmentally appropriate practice must be used to ensure success of a student. The training I received at the University of Memphis and the University of Phoenix has equipped me with the tools needed to motivate, inspire and uplift learners.

Through my past experiences in the classroom and communities, I feel that I am truly an educator. I am a well-rounded individual with knowledge in many areas of expertise with all age groups. I strive to not only teach, but to reach all children in any setting to the best of my ability, and by doing so--give them the knowledge to succeed in the next stage of their learning process. I feel I can bring a positive outlook to the teaching and learning phase that will create a fun and educational atmosphere for students. I will create an atmosphere where children will feel free to ask questions and participate therefore learn and retain more knowledge. I had to acquire certain skills and knowledge in order to perform my job adequately and to be able to relay this information to others. At present, I have been teaching basic reading, writing, and math in both private and public school sectors

I have a very relaxed teaching style when teaching my children at home during their homeschool, but they know if they don't do their work, they won't get far in life, and so far, of my eight children, there are four that are out of homeschool and have moved on to advanced education. The two oldest have their master's degrees from college and the third oldest is a senior in college on the dean's list and on the tennis team with a tennis scholarship. The fourth oldest is a freshman at the local community college with a high GPA so far. I am loving but firm in my teaching style, and show my love for learning and knowledge, which can be a way to make children love to learn as well. I go over everything very thoroughly until I know they understand the idea/concept before moving forward. I try to make them think on their own, figure things out as they go, but when they hit a rough sp
