I use innovative methods based upon my own research in teaching the historian’s trade to guide and empower my students. I focus on showing my students by using an example of the task I want them to perform as a regular form of teaching. I believe that it is important to empower students by making history hands on and interactive. Contrary to traditional approaches to the discipline, I teach to an outline of core competencies, not an amalgam of memorized facts and dates.
All of my pedagogical strategies are dedicated to interweaving my professional and academic experiences with my innate passion for making history come to life while simultaneously empowering students with the tools to succeed in their lives, academically and professionally. In my professional employment as a certified paralegal, I often taught paralegal interns and new attorneys hired by our firm. I created materi ... read more

I am a College Student studying English and Politics

I was a tutor in high school for many elementary and middle school aged children. I am also experienced with writing papers, so I can help anyone who is writing for a college application or essay. I am a very quick learner, so if there is a subject I am not as familiar with I am willing to study it to help a student. My goal is to help students understand the context being taught, as well as teach them the importance of this knowledge. I have often used the phrase "When will I ever need this?" and I have learned later on in life that each subject is important. This is the messageI want to get across to children, that learning new things is a very important aspect of life.
I am a very firm believer that each human being has a different way of learning. I also believe that each subject has a different way to be taught. I teach based off of my students, as well as the subject.

I believe in finding out each student's best learning style and well as his/her strengths, weaknesses, and interests and teaching to take advantage of these skills and learning traits.

A Little Bit About Me...

During my high school career I was frequently called upon to be a teacher's assistant. This was over fourth, fifth, and sixth graders the majority of the time. I also tutored a fellow classmate in Algebra q, chemistry and biology. I also currently have a job tutoring two sixth graders in math and english. They were at a third grade level when I began and are now into the beginning of fifth grade work. I have only been working with them for approximately two months.

Once I have an understanding of what a student is capable of I like to push them to go past their "comfort zone" in learning. It helps them understand that what may look difficult, may not always be so and that they only way to find out is to learn it. Also, I do not teach study habits. Instead I like to see what a students current habits are and work on expanding those habits so that the child does not get frustrated and overwhelmed. It is easier to learn more from current knowledge than try to teach a whole new way. After all, most students study habits are based on how their teacher has taught them, and I wouldn't go against what the teacher has taught. The point of tutoring is to help a child understand the work they are currently doing in school. It is my job to make sure that happens. I will want to speak with your child to determine the best way to teach them.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned a PhD in philosophy from the University of Virginia, and taught at the university level at Virginia Tech, UVA, Hampden-Sydney College, West Point, and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke for ten years. During that time, I have taught philosophy, logic (including test prep for the GRE and LSAT), and composition. A chemistry minor in college, I am also proficient in basic science and mathematics. I have tutored in composition, algebra, logic, chemistry, and philosophy.
My job is not to give students answers, but to push them to articulate better and give better answers. I teach not by lecturing but by discussion; together we work through problems and questions. By showing students (gently) where their thinking could be improved without giving them the actual answers, I push students to solve problems on their own. My teaching strategies were recognized with ... read more

I enjoy teaching other people because it gives me a feeling of success and joy. It is a good feeling to see someone else learn and understand something new and interesting. I also enjoy it because I firmly believe that the best way to learn is to teach it to someone else. Since I have a strong desire to learn myself, teaching offers a mutually beneficial and successful engagement for me and the student. Everyone has a different learning style and which is why I try to teach each person in a way that is most conducive to their learning. I prefer open and constructive discussions of topics, visual and interactive teaching methods and emphasis on practice, especially in areas of math.
During the four years that I spent at UNC-Charlotte pursuing my double undergraduate degrees I gained a broad array of knowledge and skills. I graduated in 2004 with a BS in Economics and a BS in Busines ... read more

I love to read and enjoy involving my students in the joys of learning and expanding their horizons. No matter what their path every student needs to read and read well. Basic skills like comprehension,grammar and spelling must be kept up in order to compete today. A sense and appreciation of history is important. Reading and comprehension are vital tools which we all need throughout our lives. The process of learning any subject should be fun. Seeing that "spark" of understanding in my students' eyes makes it all worthwhile. Every child has great abilities. I am proud of what I do and want to share my enthusiasms with all students.

I find nothing more exciting and rewarding than teaching a topic or subject to an individual and seeing the expression and excitement on their face when they truly begin to understand the material. I was motivated by several gifted teachers while I was in high school and I believe that patience during the process of teaching, coupled with conveying your belief to the student that they in fact can master the material is incredibly important and crucial to the success of the student-teacher bond. You are not just teaching a particular subject, but a 'process' that will prime the student for further academic growth in the future.
Attending and graduating from Davidson College, a small liberal arts college in NC, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry was an extremely rewarding experience. I found that the college groomed their students by emphasizing analytical skills--both ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style has been a product of working primarily with middle school kids. I believe that the hands on approach is the best way to reach these students. Using visual aids, manipulatives, foldables, and other materials provided can be extremely useful tools to reach them. Being actively involved in the learning process allows students to learn while they do not realize it.
As someone who entered teaching later in life, I began where most of my education to that point allowed, as a social studies teacher. I taught 5 years as a middle school social studies teacher. Recently ,I added middle school math certification and taught middle school math for a year. My tutoring experience has primarily been working after class with my students.
