I like to make sure the student is enjoying the learning process. Without the enjoyment the information is less likely to stick.
I am a middle school teacher. I began my career by teaching Special Education. After a few years I transitioned into the regular education setting. I am certified in Special Education, Reading, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Business Education. I have been at the same middle school for 9 years. I also coach the girls soccer team and volleyball team for our school.

Reluctant & Struggling Readers can become Good Readers!

I worked for 12 years as a Special Education teacher in the public school system, teaching students with ADD, learning disabilities, autism, Aspergers, emotional and behavior disorders, and mild intellectual disabilities in a resource room and inclusion setting. I am able to quickly make significant connections with the students, building the good rapport that is essential to achieving a good working relationship. I especially enjoy working with reluctant and struggling readers, and nothing makes me happier than to see them overcome the obstacles that have kept them from success.

More About This Tutor...

I have over 13 years of tutor experience working with young and adult students. I have a BA in Criminal Justice this degree has helped me relate and better assist my students during our tutoring sessions. I enjoy reading and writing. In the past I have tutored students individually and in small groups of 3 to 4 to help them develop their basic reading, writing and study skills. I have also tutored young and adult students in preparation for exams like the PSAT SAT, ACT, GED, GRE and GMAT.
I enjoy teaching students of all ages.I do not have a set teaching style. I use several methods during our tutoring sessions. 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 con ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

What I have learned working with students is that many do not learn in the same manner. I beleive in what is called top process learning. Given the student a concept and allowing them to explore the possibilities of how one arrives at such a concept has allowed deeper critical thinking and strategic planning. However, this method is not predominately taught in Georgia education system. I have found this method to be very effective. The other method is patience. Students who strugge with their academic learning usually are having other areas of difficulty which may be social learning. Having clinical training allows me to make a more accurate assessment.
During the last 10 years I have worked with all levels of students, preschool through college levels. These areas include reading, math, english, psychology, science and social studies. I am a self starter and have worked wi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

All throughout my school years, I was a highly motivated student. I was in the accelerated programs from first grade to my senior year in high school. During high school I was not only in the accelerated english program, I also took many Advanced Placement classes and was on the accelerated math track. I was even able to finish my bachelor degree in International Affairs in three years. During my senior year in high school, I tutored my student in all of his subjects (math, social studies, science, and english). When in college, I led study groups in college and tutored a few of my fellow classmates, mainly in history and english.
I have always had an avid love of learning. I attempt to make my students love it too. I try to incorporate things the students like into the lessons (for example, I used football scoring to explain mathematic concepts to a 10 year old boy). I also am a f ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After tutoring students for a combined four years now, I have learned very quickly that each student is different. Some require more of a hands-on approach, while others work best independently. I prefer to get an understanding of what works best for the student first, and this allows me to tailor my teaching style accordingly. However, I am a thorough and deliberate tutor, and I have found this approach works best in conjunction with the student’s learning style to promote effective long-term mastering of tutored material. Tutoring students is something I have love and great devotion for, and my passion for helping students is unequalled.
In high school, I was the typical overachiever. I played varsity baseball, led many school organizations, and was at the top of my class. School, especially math subjects, came easy to me, but that is not the case with everyone. Therefore, I w ... read more

When I was in 7th and 8th grade I participated in America Reads where I helped teach elementary children how to read. In college I assisted with my church youth group and led classes approximately once a month for two years. During 2010 I volunteered with a Kindergarten class. I assisted the students with in-class assignments in writing and math. I hold a bachelors degree in accounting with a minor in vocal performance. I also studied German during this time. I have completed 17.5 semester hours towards a masters degree in liberal studies with a focus in international business and German. I am currently working on my MBA and plan to complete it in December of 2012.
I am very flexible in my teaching style and have helped students who learn in very different ways. While I was working with the Reading by the River program I worked with four different students each of which learned in ... read more

Over the past three years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to tutor a wide variety of students on a part-time basis. I enjoy the challenge of transmitting information in a way that is both accessible and edifying. This experience, combined with a world-class education from Mercer University, enables me to engage students on a level not typically found with other tutors.
My teaching style reflects the environment of a college classroom. Lessons are centered around unrestricted discussion of topic and formal lecturing. The most central part of my style , however, is guiding the student to realize the answer for themselves. Not only is this method more conducive to learning, it is an indispensable tool for boosting confidence.

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.
Prior to earning my degree in education, I was a sign language interpreter for the Deaf.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management and a minor in Psychology. I have had several years of experience working with the public. I enjoy working with children and helping them to succeed. I have the patience to help them achieve their goals. I have worked with adults helping them achieve their GED and placing them into training programs.
It is much easier to learn, if you know the instructor is working with you and for you. I think if the person is in a relaxed atmosphere and they know they are moving forward toward their goal, they will feel the rewards of their efforts. It is easier to learn when the instructor and the child are working for the same goals.

As a Facilitator for Western/Delta Air Lines, I was sent to a Training Mapping class in Los Angeles, Ca. to master writing training materials based on the Fogg Index of the trainees. I have also been a Substitute Teacher in the Fayette County School system from 2003-2008 in various grade levels (kindergarden to High School. The subject levels that I have taught range from art, mathematics, English, History, and Science. My repore with the younger generation is my forte.
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 associat ... read more

My teaching style is conversational and generally straightforward. I work through translators, so it is important to keep a positive presentation style to avoid misinterpretation and miscommunication. After each segment, I ask the students if they have any questions or concerns. The students are also invited to stop me at any time to ask me questions. I also like to provide visual demonstrations on a white board, which helps me to explain my point in further detail. I provide all my students with my Powerpoint presentation translated into the Bhutanese and Burmese language so that the students have a guide for future reference. My goal is to help the students to understand the U.S. banking system in general, and to overcome any fears or hesitations that they may have about opening a checking account. I teach them how to write a check, and keep a check register. So far, th ... read more

As a parent and grandparent, I have several years in tutoring grammar school level students. Having attained a Scientific Regents diploma in high school and taking several math courses in college, math is one of my stronger subjects. Spelling, reading are other course I have excelled in the past.
I attended private(Catholic) school from kindergarten to 12th grade and had a very structured academic lifestyle. I believe in being firm, but understanding. I believe in working until we can get it right. Though I may be the Tutor, I still believe any relationship will allow each individual to grow. Whatever the student goal is set for that is what we will attain and better if possible.
