I strive for efficiency in teaching style, but I realize the importance of studying each student to see what motivates each one to take the next step closer to the goal. It is not enough for me to simply disseminate information. I believe it is vital that the student understands what she or he needs to know. In a tutoring situation, I feel that, within reason, enough time should be taken to allow each student to absorb, apprehend and apply the knowledge in practical ways. My goal is to truly educate, not merely babysit. As a graduate of the Studio Music and Jazz program at the University of Tennessee, I approach every teaching situation with the same level of care and conscientiousness my professors afforded me. Improvisation was heavily emphasized in all my classes, which gave me flexibility and adaptability to a variety of situations. I strive to know the material I am called on to

When getting my Bachelor's degree, English was my chosen major. I chose the subject because I love to read and write, and excel at both of those things. In high school and college, I tutored middle and high school - aged children. I was able to find and help those kids because my parents were teachers; thus, so were their friends who needed tutors. As a professional editor and writer, I have the experience necessary to help these kids grasp one of the harder languages, English. French was my language in high school and I took Russian in college. I plan on participating in an acclerated program to learn Spanish next summer. My teaching style is very matter-of-fact and flexible. Some students learn by listening, others by reading, and still more by doing. It is my job to determine which students need which type of teaching. It's important to never let the student feel I am judging his abil

I believe that patience and flexibility are keys to effective teaching. I practice collaborative learning, in which the student helps to shape and is an active participant in the learning process. Thus, the student's needs become the driving force in the educational approach. This approach is both creative and takes commitment on the part of both teacher and student. I truly value education, and I appreciate the opportunity to help students gain knowledge. As both an undergraduate and graduate student, I was steeped in the process of writing: development, research, writing, and revision. During my graduate years, I worked as a research assistant and editor for one of my professors. In addition, I tutored incoming students in reading and study skills. Upon graduating, I began teaching basic and developmental writing. This experience gave me the opportunity to explain writing and g

I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee with a BA in psychology and a minor in child development. In my studies I have gained extensive knowledge on the growth and development of children and young adults. I have also learned various teaching and learning styles, problem solving techniques, and communication skills in which to facilitate the educational needs of children both individually and in small groups. I recognize that each child is unique and has the potential to succeed, and therefore it is important that they are provided with positive, productive guidance to enhance their learning experience. I understand that all individuals learn in different ways, and that embracing diversity is a key to successful teaching.

I first became passionate about teaching while I was teaching English in China. I received a BS in Bible with a minor in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which has provided me with an understanding of linguistics, teaching methods, grammar, and language acquisition. I also have eleven months experience teaching English in Thailand. While teaching there, I also studied Thai in a Thai language school. During the past six years I have tutored students in English, grammar, reading, writing, history, and the arts. I believe learning should be fun. In my experience I have found that if a student has fun and laughs during a lesson, he/she will remember the contents of the lesson more. I strive to create memorable experiences for my students. I am also patient teacher. Ideally, my students learn by investigating and drawing their own conclusions. I will serve as
