Middle School Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Memphis, TN

I spend much of time making the student understand that it is okay to feel behind in a subject and that the student should believe in himself. This belief is built on continued practice on fundamentals that I watch them go through but only ask questions when I see them going astray. Everyone needs to learn the material for his or herself. My place is to make sure they learn the right methods to solve the problem and ensure that they know those methods beyond the tutoring session. I have been tutoring professional for six years and teaching for five. I am certified by the state of Tennessee to teach secondary math. I have worked with all levels of students, from remedial to gifted. I have worked from age 7 through adult learners and had a positive impact at each age and level.

I am a graduate of Missouri State University in Elementary Education. As this university began its start as a teaching school, the University takes great pride in their Teacher Education programs and requires extensive field experiences. I have tutored students one on one, in groups, and whole class in every grade k-5. During my field experiences as well as my college prep courses, I have learned many different ways to approach the curriculum for elementary students. My teaching style reflects that of a child centered approach. In this sense, I believe the teacher should act more as a facilitator and the students as discoverers. I believe that every student can learn but in their own way. There are a variety of learning styles and intelligences that I believe are extremely important to discover and teach to for each student. I also believe that students can thrive when they are given a

I began tutoring after my first semester of College at Lambuth University. I was an “A” student in Calculus, so I began assisting other students with their homework. As a result, my Calculus professor signed me up for Lambuth’s Peer Tutoring Program and I was paid an hourly wage for tutoring my peers. By the fall of my sophomore year, I was tutoring up to 8 students in mathematics. After college I started volunteering my tutoring services in my church and the community. A few years later, I started my own private tutoring service and began tutoring students in various subjects, including reading, mathematics, science and social studies. I have also tutored students in Spanish. In 2005, I began volunteering my tutoring services through Volunteer Memphis’ MCS Tutoring Program. Through this program, I currently tutor mathematics, primarily in the middle schools and occasionally in t

Growing up, I was always very gited academically. I never struggled with school, and learning was an easy pleasure. I graduated as valedictorian, and when I got to college I started tutoring to help others that had more difficulty in class. I didn't begin tutoring as a job until about two years ago, and since then have tutored in subjects including reading, math, and chemistry. While I am capable of teaching most subjects, science and especially math have always been my specialties. All my life I have loved to learn. I thrive on academics, and I remember my college and high school days with fondness. It makes me sad to see students struggle, their frustration pushing out any passion for what they are learning. As a tutor, I try to instill my own passion inside of them. Learning is exciting, and sometimes a change in perspective is all that is needed to bring understanding. I wor

As an undergraduate student, I was able to expose myself to many subjects. In the past, I have taken advanced courses in math, science, English, and history. I am currently completing my Doctorate of Audiology. As apart of this curriculum, my studies emphasize physical science, anatomy, and statistics. I recognize that everyone learns differently. My teaching style is flexible, yet productive. I believe that it is important to find ways to make the subject interesting and tangible. Often, subjects like math and science can be difficult because they are not always concrete. I look for ways to make the topics make sense at basic level before building upon that ground work.

In the program, I was responsible for following a strict lesson plan designed to prepare the students for the yearly LEAP Exam, which is equivalent to the Memphis City School's TCAP. I focused on students in grades fourth and fifth in mathematics and reading comprehension. Upon my time spent at Dillard University and the programs existance the scores of students involved in the program increased tremendously from previous years.
