Geography is one of my top subjects!

I believe every student can learn, and as a result incorporate a variety of learning techniques to address a variety of learning styles. I wish to develop students in the four language proficiencies (reading, writing, listening, speaking), and as a result I use a lot of hands-on activities which involve movement and engagement on the student's part. At every opportunity, I try to create a multi-sensory experience of language learning for my students, so that they may fully "taste" various languages and cultures.
Since coming to the Charlotte region in 1996, I have had a wide variety of experiences as a language teacher, having taught in public, private, homeschool, summer school and tutoring situations. Although my primary focus is teaching French, I have also had the opportunity to equip students in Spanish I and II to continue with their language studies. Passionate about pro ... read more

I have been teaching social studies in Cabarrus County for the past 12 years. I am nationally board certified and have my AP certification in World History. This summer I will be receiving my IB training and will begin teaching AP world history in the IB classroom. I am interested in tutoring specifically in world and AP world history, which I consider my speciality, but am proficient in all social studies classes and can help at any level. I am familiar with the set up and requirements of the AP World History exam and am willing to learn all there is to know about the other social studies AP exams in order to help a student succeed with them.
I tend to prefer a Socratic method of teaching where the student discovers the answer through discussion, reading and research. I will use direct instruction on occassion when the need arises but my classroom is typically humming with gr ... read more

My teaching style is based on reading then reviewing. At that point in time ask questions to see if the student has grasped the information being given. If not, answer questions then clarify. When reviewing information it is important to make sure the student knows reasoning behind subject matter so that they are understanding logic and not just memorizing information. In subjects that invloves math such as probability, chemistry, or statistics, I would do a few examples followed by letting the tutee working a few problems.
I have tutored fellow classmates in the past throughtout middle school and high school. Although I am not certified to teach, I have taken quite a few teaching curriculum courses while attending North Carolina State University. I have the ability to teach and accomodate different learning styles with various age groups from the Pre-K level to high school r ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is fairly laid back. I believe that students learn in a more effective manner when they are not under a lot of stress. I have been very successful in this method. I expect much from my students , but go about it a way that is fun and not intimidating to them. I like to joke with the students. I believe that all children can become successful.
I have taught in the public schools of Charlotte for 32 years. After retiring from the public system, I have taught the past 7 years in private Christian education. I am now retired. My experience has been with 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students in all subject areas. My degrees are in Elementary Education and Administration. I enjoy working with students on a one-on-one basis.

More About This Tutor...

I am passionate about students. I am fun, joyful, and patient, but I can also challenge students without discouraging them. Every student has the capacity for excellence and potential to love learning. Students need to see learning as an adventure, and I want to help facilitate that journey. The key to quality instruction is meeting every student where he or she is and discovering his or her specific learning style. Students learn best by doing and making academic content personal to them, so I seek to utilize constructivist approaches to learning and encourage students to love the process. Education is a necessary key to success, and instruction can make every difference. I have a specific passion for middle school Language Arts.
I am a highly motivated individual, and I sought an education from one of the highest quality elementary education programs in the country. I am a ... read more

I believe that multiple intelligences should be used in the classroom and tutoring as every student has various learning styles. During my student teaching experience, I was able to provide students with math and literacy centers that catered to individual learning needs. I plan to take this knowledge and apply it as a tutor. I have a passion for educating children. I want to take both the experiences I have had as a student and teacher to make an impact in students’ lives. I believe my strengths of patience towards students and the ability to foster a welcoming learning environment will allow me to achieve this goal.
I have a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Science from North Carolina State University where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. I have a North Carolina teaching license for Kindergarten through Sixth grade. I student taught fourth grade s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My philosphy of education is that children learn through real-world experiences and tapping into their interests will foster their educational development. Another key factor in helping students achieve academic success is assessment and observation of individual learning styles and multiple intelligences. Honing those positive features in students will inspire and motivate their learning to new levels. I believe strongly in problem-solving and hands-on learning to promote higher level thinking skills. I feel children have just as much to teach as they do learn, and that cooperative learning will benefit them not only academically by teaching themselves and their peers, but also socially to promote and build self-esteem.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 on to the next level. Sadly many of these children aren't given the time to do it and are just passed on to the next level. By doing this they fall further and further behind until they become discouraged to the point of quitting. I desire to reach those children. Not every child is an "A" student, but every child has his or her unique gifts. I strive to help each child find those gifts and to do the best he or she can in every area. I like to get to know the child and find the best way possible, whether it be modifying a curriculum or my own approa ... read more
