I have tutored students in reading programs from first grade to the High School Equivalency program. I also have a B.S. in broadcast journalism and currently am a literacy teacher in the fifth grade at LaFollette Elementary School in Campbell County. I currently tutor a fifth grade student and a first grade student after school but have plenty of time to add to my schedule.
I have training in the Balanced Literacy program in which the word study, reading objectives, and writers' workshop are combined in a one and a half hour block of student driven, teacher facilitated activities. These are ultimately shared in a whole group and or one on one setting. When tutoring, I do a very brief mini lesson on the objective and we go immediatley into the task at hand with instant feedback and adaptation between the reader or writer and myself as we progress through the lesson. If the student ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have 30 years experience in Elementary Education. I have taught grades 2-8 in a self-contained and block scheduled school. I served as Asst. Principal for 2 years and then moved to a district coordinator's job emphasizing curriculum. I have designed standardized tests for my district using Tennessee's new curriculum standards. I tutored students after school hours for many years with an emphasis on Language Arts and Elementary Math.
I believe all students have the ability to learn. It is my job as the teacher to find out what makes a student "click". I have learned through my experiences that connecting subject matter to a student's interests will ensure the student learns. All students need to feel successful!

I love working with Children. I believe each child learns differently, and that a teacher/tutor needs the patience to find the unique learning style of each student. I believe in disicpline and responsibilities, but I believe that a child needs to feel comfortable in a learning setting.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. My goal is to work with your child where they are and help them find academic success. I am patient, understanding, and compassionate. I understand that when students struggle, they become frustrated. My goal is to find what method will work with your child so that learning becomes fun. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences.

I believe in using technology and tools to keep students interested in understanding what is being taught. I have many nieces and nephews that I work directly with to help them grasp and understanding of what is being taught and applied. I believe if I show real aspect of a job, or application will help them visulize the solution and problem.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a special education teacher, I have a passion for students who have more specific challenges or needs related to the learning process. Thus, I am an advocate for differentiated instruction and have experience meeting the challenges of these students. My delivery has provided multi-modal instruction to students with special needs both individually and within classroom settings. Students’ disabilities ranged from severe to mild. Support was provided in both small groups and in team taught classrooms. I have experience teaching and tutoring students in Language Arts, Literature, Social Studies, and Math based on students’ abilities.
I have a comprehensive background in both early childhood, elementary, and secondary schools. As a special education teacher, I am familiar with a vast range of student needs and current research-based practices to be used within the classroom. T ... read more
