Teaching the way that my students learn best.

I believe in using real life situations, scenarios, and actively using technology. I like to use life lessons to enable my kids to realize that I am humble person, and I truly want the best for them academically as well as student. I incorporate peer discussions, peer tutoring, exit slips out the door, and class discussions to actively engage my students through the content and the process of learning. In doing so, my plan is to get my students to open up about what they know about the content and share it with their classmates. As a result, my students are more engaged in demonstrating content and standards understanding because I allow my students to demonstrate their learning through the way in which they learn best.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that students learn in a variety of ways and demonstrate their understand in many ways as well. Therefore, I strive to help students learn what type of learner they are by identifying their strengths and weaknesses and utilizing those in teaching. I also use Bloom's Taxonomy to take learners from learning knowledge to critical thinking. My strength in teaching is my ability to make a connection of the student and being approachable. This had allowed me to be an exciting part of a child's education and ultimately their future as an adult and contributor to society.

A Little Bit About Me...

“Read. Think. Write. Publish.” That is my classroom directive to my English composition students in whom I take pride in teaching, training, and developing as writers. As the legacy of a man who was likened to Paul Robeson, the first African-American to become president of any college or university in New Jersey, and of a dedicated mother who taught me the importance of good penmanship, I understand the essence of critical thinking and how that shapes a writer to the purpose for writing.

I love working with people and helping them. I believe in constructive discussion, using aids of whatever sort to help make points, and to pick up on a person's true learning style. Some learn from reading, some from doing, some from trial and error. Once you pick up on that you can move forward much more efficiently in terms of helping someone grasp the subject matter in question.

I have always enjoyed teaching at any level. One of my strengths is to recognize the personality of the student and contour my style to that particular personality. In a class room setting, I would focus on a student that I feel is shy and afraid to speak. I would gently get them involved with simple questions to build their confidence so that others in the same realm would understand and overcome the fear associated with participation and become involved with the existing interaction.

A Little Bit About Me...

I use a hands-on approach when teaching my students. I believe the only way to master anything is by doing it. I encourage my students to incorporate their ideas, and give me ideas as well, so that I may cater to his/her learning style. I am patient,nurturing, and very understanding that not everyone catches everything the first time,but with patience,diligence, and much practice we can all succeed at any task at hand. For these reasons I do not discourage students from making mistakes, but encourage them to learn from those mistakes, and seize every opportunity. In the end I guarantee that your still will love learning, master his/her subject, and may even be able to tutor others in the same area!

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from Spelman College in May 2009 with a BA in English. As an English major, I learned to think critically, use proper grammar mechanics, proofreading skills, critical reading techniques and research and argumentation skills. I wrote numerous papers on many subject matters and received very high marks. In the last four years, I have served as a mentor and tutor for various grade levels and different educational levels. In my time as a tutor and mentor, I helped many students with their reading and writing skills.
While teaching, I employ the constructivist learning theory. I begin with what the student knows and build off of their prior knowledge. To test what they know beforehand, I would administer a short pretest on some basic skills and once that test has been evaluated, I will begin teaching from the information with the least familiarity. While engaging in one- ... read more

I believe that each student is unique and they have their own method of learning information. I help the student identify this method and we work together to expand the student’s knowledge in the given subject. My students inspire and motivate me and I encourage them to continue using what they have learned from our tutoring sessions into their daily lives.
