Failure is not an option.

I am currently a student at the university of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where I am majoring in early childhood education with a minor in speech pathology. I am working full time as the head aftercare teacher at hickory valley Christian school where I work with elementary school children. I have much experience in teaching, I am also a current tutor with the Honors program, working with four students ranging from 5th grade to freshman in college. I am more for for the elementary age child, but I can help in anyway when it comes to school. I feel school is the first and main priority because it is what gets you where you need to be in life.
I am very energetic, extremely patient, but I also will not accept back talking, lying, texting on your phone, or any inappropriate behavior while I am working as your teacher. I am always available to help you, I only want to see my students le ... read more

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : This is a stress response

I have over 30 years experience with Special Education. From 2002 - 2011 I was lead teacher in a Comprehensive Developmental Classroom K-2. It was during that time in my search to be an effective teacher that I found Dr. Svetlana Masgutova PH.D. "MasgutovaMethod.com". As educators we are taught to only look at the brain as the source of intellect, that is, the cortex or higher order thinking part of the brain. My understanding now is that if there is a problem with protection and survival (brain stem) we have to correct that in first order because it is the ultimate foundation for higher order thinking. As we begin to address the infant reflexes, sensory system, hearing, sight, touch, smell, taste we begin to see better cognitive functioning, emotional regulation, physical coordination, social interaction, etc. improve. My mission is to facilitate and draw out the innate qualities in e ... read more

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : My friend and her daughter are both ADHD. Each child is unique.

I have tutored my friend's daughter in math and English. I have assisted her with science and social studies projects. Her ADHD can inhibit the learning process, but we are able to work through the problems. Learning about weighted blankets helped me work with her. She is a kinetic learner. my nieces are both visual learners. I have to adapt to each learning style.
Teaching brings me pleasure. What I do is to show them, help them, then have them do whatever I am teaching them to do. Sometimes one of the steps may have to be repeated, but this process really works well.

I have worked in the field of School Psychology for public schools in the state of Virginia. Most of my experience has been in rural areas where many different types of needs had to be handled by the Psychologist. Thus, I have had broad experience and training in the area of Special Education. I also worked in private practice and with other professionals which further broadened my skills. I retired in 2009 and moved to Tennessee to care for a family member. I miss contact with students, and feel I can help children who are struggling with school. I also feel that I can be of assistance to students identified as having special needs. I very much look forward to becoming involved with students of all types again!

A Little Bit About Me...

I love educating all children in order to achieve their long term life goals. I am patient, friendly and easy to get along with. I can make learning enjoyable and more easy. I will make sure my student understands the material very well in way that he/she is able to teach another student or even me.
I have earned a bachelors degree in Chemistry from East Tennessee State University. I have more than 100 hours of volunteer experience in all fields of area due to being in organizations like Alpha Phi Omega, Phi Sigma Pi and President's Pride throughout my college career. I believe I'm qualified to teach computers because I use it everyday and know basically most of all the Microsoft Office. English/LA and Social Studies probably not as qualified but I know the basics, if I did not I would not have a Bachelor's degree right now.

A Little Bit About Me...

Due to my experience with a broad range of young learners, each working at a different academic and or cognitive pace, I follow a modified Socratic approach to both my classroom and one on one instruction by placing the emphasis on the student as we identify areas for growth. I then sculpt an academic program that we both/all have helped to design, thus accessing an invaluable font of enthusiasm and insight addressing how best to approach the needs of each individual student. This is especially true for those students who don't feel heard, suffer from academic performance anxiety or are struggling with the manner in which the material has previously been presented to them.
Over the course of the past 10 years I have spent time working with students struggling to develop their academic skills, particularly in the areas of language arts and the social studies. From my initial work as ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My Master’s degree is in special education with a concentration in emotional and behavioral disturbance. I have worked with students who have many different types of disabilities including behavior disorders. Working with students who have behavior disorders taught me that every student needs respect, care and patience. Every teacher needs to believe that every student can learn, including the ones that may exhibit extreme behaviors. Teaching means not only individualizing instruction so that each child can learn; but, also providing the love, respect and care that each child needs to be able to learn as well.
The past five years has provided me with an amazing amount of knowledge and experience. Completing a Master's degree in special education, teaching elementary students with disabilities, working as an adjunct professor and being the Director of Early College at Northwestern T ... read more

I have tutored K – college-aged students in various subjects.

I also developed entire HS & college course curriculum. / I focus on helping students embrace education as a “means” to a fulfilling future. For my older students, I have a knack for breaking complex info into a language students can better understand. I also incorporate “real-world” examples to incorporate relevance.
