Retired teacher with 27 years of experience!

Strict, but caring and fun- loving too!
I have 27 years of experience teaching and case managing public school special education students in grades 9-12. I have also team-taught a wide variety of "regular ed" classes, such as English, Math, Science, Social Studies, even Home Ec.! I am recently retired, and would like to tutor a few hours a week to stay active and continue helping students.

More About This Tutor...

I have 35 years experience in Bell System Management retiring as Operations Manager of Outstate Georgia. Most of this time was used managing, mentoring and teaching others in day to day operations and in class room settings. My strong suits are English, business letter writing, Political Science, Economics and basic Accounting. My major at UNC Chapel Hill was Economics within an overall degree of Business Administration.

If the student knows English, everything else in general business can be taught. Thus, in a tutoring environment, I try to make learning fun and make a game out of speaking and writing proper English ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I consider myself a facilitator of information more than a teacher. Students must be accountable for their own learning. In math and science, it is important that students know how to apply knowledge rather than merely memorize information. In that regard, it is my job to make sure that students understand the core concepts of the material and then reinforce and encourage them to develop problem solving skills that will help them succeed.
As a graduate with an engineering related BS degree from North Carolina State University, my background intense in the maths and sciences. After entering the workforce for a few years, I took a few classes in education to acquire my teaching license in comprehensive science at the secondary level. I have taught primarily chemistry and physical science for 3.5 years, but have also taught biology and earth science. With chemistry being so math ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Sensitive to individual needs and learning styles, my educational approach involves an extensive selection of teaching modalities as well as organizational tools to enhance student success. My teaching style focuses on kinesthetic, inquiry-based activities which promote an active-learner environment. I believe that everyone can learn; by connecting new knowledge with previous knowledge and illustrating concepts with hands-on projects. While my student-based curriculum ensures that subject matter is presented correctly and completely, I also work with the student to create an individual framework of understanding of how each individual student learns. Empowering the student to organize, filter, and construct their own learning experience is a skill that can be applied to any course of study. I love to learn and I enjoy helping students find their own path to life long learning ... read more
