Drawing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Nahunta, GA

Encouraging youth and children to reach for their full potential is my life passion. I am a profoundly patient individual with a gift of encouragement. I possess a fervent belief in each person's extreme worth. My belief drives me to draw out the abilities and gifts I recognize in others, especially young people. While I am passionate and enthusiastic, I am also self controlled and gentle in my teaching approach as it is called for. My life mission is to benefit every person I have an opportunity to spend time with. I am a passionate mentor of youth and children in a church setting. For 5 years I have mentored a youth group of 12-25 junior high and high school students. As a Sunday School teacher and Youth leader for ten years, I am experienced with group teaching and specialize in one-on-one tutoring/teaching. I have successfully homeschooled my own 3 children and tutored publ

I have experience with teaching having completed three semesters of internships through my undergraduate and graduate programs; I taught Kindergarten, First and Seventh grades. In said roles, I was given full control of the classroom by my mentoring supervisors. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and impacting young lives (most of these students came from low socio-economic backgrounds and were gravely in need of guidance). I generated creative lesson plans and taught according to state standards. I also successfully dealt with behavioral issues and worked closely with not only the students, but with the parents and fellow faculty. In college, I tutored in Biology and Health/Medicine classes for one year. Through my extensive coursework and research and practical application in the classroom, I found quite quickly that there are several different learning styles. It is important to create lesso

My teaching experience began in high school, when I would review and edit my classmates essays. On several occasions, I also went through essays line by line. In addition, I taught swim lessons to preschool aged children, and helped coach crew to high school aged students. Throughout college, I continued to aid my peers with their essays, and often participated in workshops outside of class. As a writer, I have extensively studied methods of teaching to English Language Learners, and native speakers alike. I have also conducted research in rhetoric studies and language acquisition. In short, I love English written and spoken, and I have a passion for teaching. Everyone's teaching style is an accumulation of the teachers they have met. My favorite teachers were tough, they pushed me to do my best, and encouraged me to draft, edit, and to have high expectations for myself. The

Throughout college I was a tutor with a Learning Center. I worked with children in grades K-12. At this center, we helped build reading and math skills individually and in groups. I was also a private tutor for a high school student. Together we improved her study skills and organization. I assisted her with writing assignments, projects, and daily homework. I also worked in the Camden County school system as a substitute teacher and secretary. At Mercer University, I earned my BA in Communications and Theater Arts, and an English minor. I also hold certifications through GACE (Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators) in Early Childhood Education and Middle Grades Language Arts. The most important element of achieving success in school is self confidence. The way I help build that in children is by being extremely positive, supportive, and full of praise. I observe their

Everyone is special and unique in how they learn and incorporate new information. I like to get to know people to understand how they can learn on their skill level. Patience and understanding is key when working with students and young people because everyone is different and special. I have experience in working with children and young people in my missions and humanitarian work. I have lead teams of teenagers and worked with children in local schools, orphanages, and community organizations. I also worked at a daycare during my internship in 2004.

With my experience in teaching, I have realized that students are like snowflakes- all unique and they learn in different ways. I always pay attention to the different ways they learn and incorporate that into my lesson plans. As a tutor, I will discover the way your child learns to satisfy their academic needs. I am a firm believer that teaching is a career choice that involves passion for success. I have the passion and dedication that will make all the difference in your child's academics. Teaching, in general, has always been a passion of mine. I received my BA in Elementary Education in May of 2007. My internship experience was teaching Language Arts in a middle school in Chicago, IL. Upon moving to Fernandina Beach, I became a teacher for Catapult Learning in Jacksonville. During this time, I provided supplemental Reading/Math instruction to students in the first through sixth grad

My B.S. in Elementary Education has provided twenty-five years of teaching in a wide range of experiences. I have taught K3-8 grade students, including those considered “at-risk” due to emotional and behavioral difficulties or learning differences, in traditional and outdoor classroom settings. I was able to integrate numerous evaluation methods and projects, including construction of 3-D artistic replicas, and student written, directed and acted skits. In addition, I incorporated the Internet and other news sources to further current event discussion. The emphasis of my work has been on teaching critical and effective reading and writing skills in regards to all subjects. A thinking student is a student who understands. Throughout my teaching, I have adapted the classroom to complement and enrich each student’s learning style, a challenge I thoroughly enjoy. I believe in consideri

My greatest teaching philosophy (though I cannot claim it to be original), is "Can't never could!" This is such an important concept, for students as well as their teachers and tutors. Without belief in the student on the part of the teacher or tutor, I feel that a student is more likely to fail. I believe in optimistic approaches and positive reinforcement in the teaching process. This tremendously helps a student succeed. I understand that it is not always possible for a student to gain understanding of a concept in one sitting. Every child should be given opportunities for expansion and growth. I will help every child I work with in every way I can towards their goals. I am currently attending ITT-Technical Institute in Jacksonville, Florida for an A.S. in Computer Aided Drafting and Design. I currently have 72 completed credit hours.
