Drama Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Naples, NC

I completed my undergraduate degree in Dramatic Arts in 2011. I have directed several theatrical production and dramatic scenes. Additionally, I have worked 1 on 1 with many students on dramatic pieces and monologues for auditions and competitions. I also have served as a judge for several speech and drama competitions (including the National Forensic League). I currently teach Public Speaking on the college level. For drama and public speaking, I prefer to be highly interactive and enable the student to discover and create his/her own art with knowledgeable guidance and lots of discussion and performance experimentation. I like to use a series of techniques and exercises to build confidence and creativity in the performer.

Education, teaching in particular, gives individuals the opportunity to give back what they have received. It is communication on a broader level than just simply putting forth information to whomever chooses to accept it. I started my career in education before I set foot on a college campus, through a peer-tutoring program in my high school. This experience allowed me to work with severely disabled peers learning functional skills for independence. Since then I have worked as an aide in emotional/behavior and multiple-disability middle school classrooms, as well as LD-resource, ED self contained and SC occupational diploma program. In addition I have earned a degree of distinction with the National Forensic League, been name a scholar-athlete in South Carolina and a host of other accolades in scholarship. I have experienced both urban and suburban school settings and have had inc

My philosophy has always been, "make it interesting and they will learn." However, what is interesting to you and I may not be interesting to the next person. Therefore, I listen to the child and figure out their learning style and interests. Only then can I properly teach and know they understand the subject matter. It is always exciting to see a Childs face when something clicks and they have that, "I understand what she is talking about moment." Having taught high school in both affluent and underprivileged areas I strive to make sure that every student has a positive learning experience. My degree is a BS in Communication/Business with a minor in education. Language has always been my first love and I continue to take classes related to this field. The past few years I have worked in sales but I continue to tutor.

I understand that any child can run into problems with schoolwork. I try to find out why the child is having a problem before trying to help them. Did he miss something and fall behind? Is she simply bored with the subject? The approach I take with the child depends on the answers to these questions. I feel it is important for the learner to understand that there is a reason for making the effort to learn each subject. In math, I like to assign the numbers and equations to subjects the learner likes, such as pizza, sports or music, for example. I also find it is beneficial to make references to the different careers one might use the knowledge learned in the child's classes. I am a mother of 3 children who are all very successful students. My eldest will graduate a semester early from college this month. My middle child is a junior in college and my youngest child is a senior in hi

The visual-auditory-kinesthetic or VAK method of instruction is a hands-on, child-involved method that reaches students with all types of learning needs. It is my primary teaching strategy utilized. I find it important to match reading material,(utilizing both student ability and interest levels,)to promote maximum reading success. I offer flexibility and much enthusiasm for each subject that I teach. I am a life long learner, as conveyed in countless ways to my students. I'm caring, kind, patient and understand my students' needs and abilities. I find it imperative to not only applaud my students' strengths but also to encourage the "weaker" skills that they possess. I have good rapport with students and their families as well. The last six years I have taught using a most effective multi-sensory method of instruction for children with language-based differences, both as a full-tim

Every child deserves an education and the opportunity to fulfill their goals and dreams, both large and small. I deeply appreciate the mentors and educators in my life and believe giving back empowers all of us. I am both enthusiastic and patient and teach others according to self-discovery, encouragement, and practice. I am a creative and effective communicator with an excellent background in integrated marketing communications. I am passionate about working with children and young adults, especially using writing skills and techniques, grammar awareness, knowledge of the English language, and creative projects. I have a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication with an emphasis in public relations and English, as well as a Master's degree in Communication Studies. Additionally, I have leadership experience with a mid-size consulting company and a large corporate firm.

After working with adults and my peers in Boston, I've come to appreciate how rewarding teaching is. I believe that not all students learn the same way and thus aim to be as flexible as possible with each new pupil in order for them to get the most out of our time together. This may include physical expressions of a concept, pictures, or well-organized notes gone over orally. People learn well through positive reinforcement and helping children feel good about themselves while learning will not only provide a strong foundation for self-esteem, but also promote a positive connection with knowledge for years to come. I hope to help shape the future generations to be as aware about the world as they can. Through the experience of pursuing my degree at Boston University, I was exposed to many different styles of learning and teaching due to my interdisciplinary concentration in Latin America

In order to effectively teach, I feel it is important to recognize and understand each student's metacognitive learning style. Once that is understood the material can be introduced to them in a way that they can perceive. I also feel that it is important to empower students to have the confidence to think for themselves and understand their own ability to make connections about the material. Therefore, when I teach, I think it is important to constantly ask the students questions and direct them towards the answers as opposed to feeding them information that they memorize. Putting meaning behind the information is crucial for effective learning. After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill, I spent 8 months working at a wilderness therapy program. At this school I taught students life skills in a wilderness setting. After leaving this school, I spent the summer teaching art at a small su

I earned my BS in Biology at a liberal arts school. My education has given me a scientific training that is bolstered with an in depth knowledge of the humanities. Through my education and personal interests I have studied music, poetry, literature, math and natural history. I have striven to integrate these arts with my scientific background. My interests and education have given me extensive training in both math and english; including practice in scientific writing (lab reports and grant writing) and artistic writing (poetry, poetry analyses, and music analyses. As a liberal arts student, I was taught to pursue the bridge between science and understanding. My education has fostered in me an appreciation of learning, and a belief that comprehension is attainable through multiple avenues. If a student struggles by one avenue, then I believe it is my job to pave another. A student must b

I received my B.A. in English from Appalachian State University where I also received training in education. Afterward, I became an instructor at Richmond Community College, teaching basic reading and math to adults with learning disabilities as well as a course on PC literacy & business training. In addition to classroom instruction, I've had one-on-one experience tutoring university students in English and Learning Skills. I strongly believe that the success of education depends on how well it targets a student's learning style and values. Everyone can learn, but individual attention is a vital part of that. We don't all learn the same way or at the same speed, and these differences should be addressed in a positive and creative way to both convey the subject material and strengthen a student's ability to learn in the future.

As an undergraduate student, I became a substitute teacher for Fulton County Schools and taught in this capacity for four years K-12, focusing on primary grades. Prior to that I taught in adult private, health related programs for another four years. Since 2000, I have taught high school and undergraduate students in the subjects of wellness education and English (as a second language, writing, and reading). My teaching style is holistic, relying upon the philosophy of Dr. Parker J. Palmer who attempts simultaneously to maintain humility, keep the focus less on himself and the students, and more on the subject. With the subject at the center of the room, I prepare myself beforehand to fan the flames of interest as needed to keep the students engaged. This works by first encouraging students to focus on themselves and using their own experience or questions as the best approach to the

Identifying a person’s learning style is the key to successful comprehension of a given subject matter. My teaching style involves recognizing concepts that the person does find interesting to help them relate to and understand what they are trying to learn. I am patient and diligent, and I will help you understand and enjoy the subject. I have led reading groups and Language Arts classes. I have taught music lessons to a variety of ages and I have taught Music Theory and History at the collegiate level. My mother has been a teacher for 35 years and I have always enjoyed helping her in the classroom. I have a Master of Music and Professional Artist Certificate from the North Carolina School of the Arts.
