More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and working with all students. My teaching style is based on the student's learning style and interests. I use visual, tactile and auditory instructional methods when presenting information and/or teaching skills and concepts. As we know students' learning differ in readiness for content, interests and how he/she learns,therefore it is my job to identify his/her needs. I believe all children are life long learners. I supply and deliver information in a manner in which the student comprehends and builds upon. I am a true believer in the following phrase "the more ways you teach, the more students you reach." I choose teaching as a life long career because this is how I can make a difference in children's lives.

More About This Tutor...

I have taught both adults and youth. I was instrumental in assisting adults in obtaining their high school diploma and college degree. As a youth teacher, I was responsible for teaching students to read and as a result of their improving in this area; I was promoted to a teacher’s position. I have tutored students on an individual basis, and a result they were able to be promoted to the next grade.
My style of teaching is more of a participant style. I enjoy when students contribute to class discussions. It brings joy to my heart when a child finds a task complicated and eventually succeeds. Many of the children that I have taught often call me. It is my belief, that as an educator I must be creative and see each child as an individual and not as a group. As an educator, I am responsible for not only teaching students but for coaching, mentoring, tutoring and inspiring young mind ... read more

My degree in Psychology has a strong basis in Behavior Analysis. This is what I will be getting my Master’s degree in starting in the Fall. My teaching style mainly focuses on positive reinforcement. I use positive reinforcement in order to increase a behavior of choice. The behaviors we want to increase can range from working more math problems, reading more, increase doing home work, increase studying, etc. An instructional method will be used as well in order increase their knowledge of the subject and then positive reinforcement will increase their confidence and motivation which is necessary for success.

As a Special Education teacher with over twenty years of experience, I have taught from preschool through the collegiate level. My specialty is working with students with learning disabilities. I particularly enjoy working with students who are having reading problems. I have tutored many students throughout the years and have primarily focused on reading, math, language arts, science and social studies in the elementary through middle grades.
My background is in Special Education, and I have worked with students with all types of disabilities. I realize that every child is unique and that some children require a different approach to instruction. I focus on each child's set of strengths and mold my teaching approach to fit those strengths in order to ensure success.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Worship Leadership, and am currently working on a Master's in Elementary Education. I am also currently teaching myself Spanish and Mandarin. I have exceptional skills in grammar and writing, and I received a perfect score on both the Reading and English sections of the ACT in high school. My degree was writing-intensive, so I have extensive experience with writing research papers. In the past four years, I have taught piano, percussion, guitar, voice, and worked with K-3rd grade students after school at a local elementary school. I have also helped many students learn how to study properly (what to focus on, how long to study, where and when to study, etc).
I am very passionate about teaching children. I am patient but firm, and focus on encouraging and building confidence. I am excellent at breaking down difficult concepts in a way t ... read more

I graduated from the University of South Alabama with an Elementary Education degree in December of 2005. During this time, I completed my student teaching at Holloway Elementary School. During the year of student teaching, I learned to work with diverse learning styles, varying stages of development as well as a multitude of learning tools.
I enjoy working with children of all ages. It is the duty of the teacher to meet children where they are and help them develop skills in their unique learning style. Learning should be interesting; an exploration of their world. I am patient, kind and enjoy encouraging children in their potential. Every child can learn, it is my goal to give every student the best education and enrich their lives in the process.

A Little Bit About Me...

From both my tutoring and teaching experience, I have concluded that each individual learns differently; therefore, I believe it is essential for teachers to discover each student’s learning style and teach them accordingly. I also strongly believe that learning should be a rewarding, pleasant, and even fun experience. Furthermore, I know that each and every student is able to learn; however, often times it is necessary to instill a desire to learn in them. This can be done by illustrating a passion for learning. Once a student realizes the rewards of acquiring knowledge, helping them learn becomes a quite simple task as they have become lifelong lovers of learning.
Coming from a family of educators, I knew from an early age that I would become a teacher myself; therefore, all the steps taken to prepare for my professional life have been to enable me to be the best teacher I ca ... read more
