Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Montreat, NC

On the professional end, I was an accountant (CFO type) for a very long time. My most recent "job," though, was publishing a natural health magazine (4 years). I walked away from it all late summer 2011 to work my spiritual path and providing patient and heart-centered tutoring to elementary children works well with this path. Children can feel that I enjoy them so they like me. I am a grandmother of two (2 and 6). Contact me at CarolinaLightWave@gmail.com to set up a meeting. With gratitude, Barbara

I have my Pre-K through 8th grade elementary education credential from West Virginia, California and North Carolina.

I have worked eight years as a school administrator at private and public schools. Motivation is the key to everything we do in life. I use this to drive my students to excel beyond what they think they are capable of accomplishing. I utilized experiential theory and real-world experiences to drive my education to make lessons relevant, fun and interesting. I utilize the constructionist learning theory where I establish where my students are with the given subject and attach new knowledge structures to support continue growth where they build their overall schema and level of understandi

I have been doing one-on-one care with individuals with mental/physical disabilities for the past year and a half working for the Arc of NC.

I've earned several awards for my work with dyslexic children including an award from the past governor of Michigan.

I've been an adjunct professor at The University of Michigan, guest speaker at local and national conferences, and a teacher consultant for many years. My passion for helping children reach their potential is met through using the Orton-Gillingham Approach along with other multi-sensory approaches like The Wilson Program Project Read.

I am originally from Japan, have experiences in teaching English in Japan, which I loved, so as I relocated here I decided to look for an opportunity to teach Japanese. After graduating from high school in California, I went back to Japan to go to 4-year college. While I was in college, I tutored some kids for their English, and after I graduated from college, I worked at an English conversation school as an English teacher where I taught English to kids and adults. I had so much fun teaching them, I am here to fine an opportunity to teach again. If you are interested, please contact me. I would like to have a textbook to stick with, but depending on what you want to learn, I am pretty flexible when it comes to studying materials. I want to help you out for what you need/want you to learn!

Personal, humorous, and energetic. I tailor games and activities to each class and do not think teaching directly from a text inspires many to learn. Typical key elements of my courses include flexible lesson planning, personalized tests/quizzes, adding cultural content, and incorporating student ideas as much as possible. I have over 20 years of experience working as a university instructor and private teacher for students ages 11-50. Most of my experience has been in English as a Second Language programs for community colleges and research universities, including M.I.T. and Tufts University. For the past several years I have been assisting middle and high school students with Latin (I have studied over 11 years of that language) and have also tutored beginning German and English writing.
