Experienced, Inspirational Teacher and Student

Critical thinking is nourished so well-considered and studied opinions are more than welcome; they are essential. Students have conveyed to me that my style is one of "relaxed intensity" with a flair for the dramatic laced with a sense of humor and a genuine appreciation and respect for the views of others. Focused creativity is required.
I am a career educator who has taught English and other Humanities based courses extensively since 1988. My primary experience is on the college and university level but I also have a high school and middle school background. The educational and pedagogical philosophy I hold is this: The ability to communicate effectively remains the most vital of skills and is crucial to academic and career advancement. It is with a sense of privilege and honor I teach and with a sense of urgency as communication skills continue to evolve in a quickly changi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I generally teach through visual aids and through very thorough explanations. If the student doesn't understand the first time I explain something, I will explain it in a different way and will keep explaining it in different ways until he/she fully understands what's being taught. I try my hardest to teach by explaining concepts logically and showing WHY and HOW, rather than simply saying something is what it is "just because."
I have always been an honors student and am currently taking the highest levels of math (AP Calculus) and spanish (Spanish 5) at my high school. I am involved in Peer Mentors at my school and have tutored multiple students in a variety of subjects. I have also tutored students outside of school, mostly in math. I love teaching others and helping them to understand concepts that they previously were struggling with. I am very patient and will work my hardest ... read more

I have an extensive background in math and science. I took AP Calculus in high school, and physics,statistics and calculus in college. I have also taught middle school science,K-12 art,and biology, chemistry and algebra to high school students, and subbed for geometry, algebra and algebra II, as well as numerous other subjects. My tutoring experience began back in university, where I tutored several fellow students in English, writing and math. For several years I tutored a number of students in different subjects from English to pre-calculus.
I have six children of my own and know that every child learns differently, even when they come from the same family. I believe the majority of children can master the material they are presented in school, but it is a matter of time. Many children take a little more time to understand the concepts and master the skills needed to move o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While my focus in my classroom is the "lab experience", I make certain that students are competent problem-solvers. I have been tutoring extensively so I believe that I can get the maximum performance from my "tutorees". I bring my passion for teaching to both my classroom and to my tutoring sessions. Different students come with different needs, so I listen first in order to figure out how to be most effective. For the most part, I spent time "re-explaining" concepts that were not picked up in class, although for some students my strategy is to provide most effective test-taking skills.
For 34 years I have taught almost every science, but my focus for the last 28 years has been chemistry - both high school and college courses. Since 1993 I have served as an AP Reader and a College Board Consultant, grading the AP Chemistry Exams and teaching teachers how to establish their AP pr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that it is my responsibility to cater and adjust my style to that which works best for the student with whom I am working. In a classroom setting this can be especially difficult, but with tutoring it is much more do-able. I have a lot of training as a Results Coach, which stresses working with the strenghths your client provides you. The exact same process applies towards my students.
My experiences as an educator encompass a fairly wide circle. I have a good amount of knowledge and experience in both athletics and academics. I have coached, taught and tutored students for nearly seventeen years. As an English teacher I have the ability to teach and tutor all aspects of reading and writing skills. I also have worked with students on test taking (primarily the SAT's), study skills, organization, and various other pertinent skills.

Teaching is an art that needs to be perfected based on each individual child’s needs. I am a very demanding teacher, but at the same time always fair and give positive reinforcement while the student is learning and of course, when they have obtained their goals. I teach using a variety of strategies, but feel that hands on learning works best for most students, especially those in a tutoring atmosphere. Therefore, many manipulatives for just about any concept are used in order to turn a problem into the solution.
In my 2nd year of teaching, I have enjoyed the experiences that have came my way due to my students. I enjoy going to work daily and leave almost everyday with a sense of gratification because of the accomplishments I help my students achieve. I currently teach 4th grade and feel this grade level has helped me fine tune my writing skills due to the demanding pressure pla ... read more

My teaching style is founded on being patient and intentional towards every learning student. I am very intentional about making sure that students feel comfortable expressing how they do not understand material so that I can provide resources and assistance to their specific needs. I also strive to find a healthy balance between tutor aid and student discovery. I believe that with the right guidance and instruction, students can discover a skill and apply it to many academic challenges. Specifically, I love helping students take their thoughts and create meaningful, clear and strong prose in order to convey their understanding of a text.
As a graduate from UNC with a degree in English, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the English language. Through this rigorous program, I was consistently expected to provide strongly written and grammatically accurate essays that proved ... read more

I love to teach, period. I believe that as a humanistic educator, all children can learn if given the right attention and the right motivation to succeed. In the past, I have worked with students from all backgrounds and economic strata-AG students, "At-risk" students, and they taught me to be deligent but not gullible, firm but not overbearing, and to always give a calm and penetrating judgement in times of crisis. In the interim, I am pleased to say that I have taught over five thousand students in the state of North Carolina that are presently giving their major contributions to the building of the state and country. I am very proud of that. I am a firm believer in teaching through experimentation, discovery and in providing challenging opportunities for students to grow. My goal is to proide the best education money can buy. I believe children learn by doing, and not by spo ... read more

I believe listening is a fundamental element of teaching. I provide my students with an enhanced listenting ability in order that I may better serve their needs. I tend to work at a pace that is comfortable for your child without providing pressure or stressors. In utilizing this style of teaching, the experience becomes more enjoyable for your child which, in turn, makes learning not only essential but rewarding.
As a parent, former student, and an educator, I have been teaching children and adolescents for over ten years. I am skilled in the areas of English, psychology, sociology, and criminal justice. I also have a basic knowledge of Spanish having been educated in this area as well.

I have earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering and completed 20 hours toward a MA in Teaching. In response to a desperate need for math teachers in urban schools, I completed an alternative certification program offered through Chicago Public Schools and National Louis University while teaching high school math. Through my education I have gained an extensive knowledge of Math, Chemistry and Physics and advanced Engineering concepts. I have also been trained in SAT and ACT test preparation, so I am very familiar with grammar, reading comprehension and strong essay writing techniques. Over the last 15 years, I have tutored students ranging from Jr. High through college in all these areas.

A Little Bit About Me...

Earning a degree in Communications accelerated my skills in writing through Journalism, research papers and Rhetorical studies. Additionally, writing is something I enjoy and practice on a daily basis. It has been a number of years since I have tutored a child however, I would like to incorporate my vocational experience as well as my collegiate studies into my teaching practices.
I would love the opportunity to teach grade school children. It was during my formidable years that I can recall a young lady who impacted my education in a very significant way. Additionally, I also have very fond memories of several children who I mentored through tutoring. My innate enthusiastic nature has facilitated a strong desire with the children to participate in the learning process in many unique ways. I gain tremendous joy and satisfaction through observing this process.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working one-on-one or in small groups. I am very encouraging and understand that each student has his or her own learning style. I am adaptive to these varying needs. I believe in positive reinforcement. I never get frustrated with a student and will try different methods until I find one that works with each particular student. I understand that my work not only helps a student to understand the subject, but also helps with the student's feeling of confidence and self-worth.
As a graduate, summa cum laude, with degrees in English and Voice, I am a highly driven individual. With my time spent as a Writing Center Consultant, I worked directly with students with a variety of writing needs. As both an independent and a corporate proofreader, I gained exceptional English language skills. My academic papers have always received the highest praise and I was at the top of my class. ... read more
