More About This Tutor...

During my high school career I was frequently called upon to be a teacher's assistant. This was over fourth, fifth, and sixth graders the majority of the time. I also tutored a fellow classmate in Algebra q, chemistry and biology. I also currently have a job tutoring two sixth graders in math and english. They were at a third grade level when I began and are now into the beginning of fifth grade work. I have only been working with them for approximately two months.

I tend to prefer a Socratic method of teaching where the student discovers the answer through discussion, reading and research. I will use direct instruction on occassion when the need arises but my classroom is typically humming with group work and whole class discussions.
I have been teaching social studies in Cabarrus County for the past 12 years. I am nationally board certified and have my AP certification in World History. This summer I will be receiving my IB training and will begin teaching AP world history in the IB classroom. I am interested in tutoring specifically in world and AP world history, which I consider my speciality, but am proficient in all social studies classes and can help at any level. I am familiar with the set up and requirements of the AP World History exam and am willing to learn all there is to know about the other social studies AP exams in order ... read more

Geography is one of my top subjects!

Since coming to the Charlotte region in 1996, I have had a wide variety of experiences as a language teacher, having taught in public, private, homeschool, summer school and tutoring situations. Although my primary focus is teaching French, I have also had the opportunity to equip students in Spanish I and II to continue with their language studies. Passionate about providing students with cross-cultural experiences, I have been the lead teacher on five different homestay trips to France with students from grades 5-11, as well as coordinated homestays for visiting French students with families in the Charlotte area. I have also coordinated five different "immersion camps" for students, ranging in age from 5-17, creating for students a more "hands-on" approach to learning language.
I believe every student can learn, and as a result incorporate a variety of learning techniques to ... read more

I am currently a college student in South Carolina. I have a 3.4 grade point average while also being a student athlete. I enjoy math and social studies. I take a lot of pride in low level English due to the amount of time I had to put into my own education to better myself in the subject at a young age.

Teaching social studies for so many years has allowed me to implement a great variety of teaching strategies, such as graphic organizers, cooperative learning, note-taking guides, debates, Socratic seminars, gallery walks, dramatic presentations, roundtable writing, independent studies, multi-media presentations, etc. As a middle school teacher, I learned quickly how to relate subject areas to the everyday lives of middle-schoolers. I am able to create assignments to cater to all of the multiple intelligences. I have an ability to break down abstract concepts in ways an early adolescent can understand. I strive for excellence in teaching, and I expect the same from my students, regardless of background. Most of all, I have discovered that it is true that students "don't care what you know until they know that you care."
I have taught or tutored students in preschool, middle sc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

After I completed my degree in Psychology, I took up a tutoring job with autisitc children. Although originally intended as "just a summer job," before I knew it it had become my passion. I feel that I have an ability to empathize with children, which truly helps me to understand why he or she may not understand a particular topic. I believe that education is the key to an open mind. Although most of my tutoring experiences have been with academic skills, I believe that I have an ability to help with everyday struggles as well.
I am very task-oriented, but I have learned that you cannot teach a concept, you must teach a child. In teaching a skill, a tutor's job is to make it significant to the child's life. I really love and enjoy my students and strive to make sessions entertaining, while we are learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

The sense of achievement that can be seen on a child’s face after mastering the unknown is why I am passionate about teaching. I am flexible, understanding, and compassionate. I believe that surrounding the child in an environment that is conducive to learning is important. In addition, I believe it is important to teach multiple styles. For example, I like to make sure that my student has an opportunity to learn a lesson not only hands-on but also visually. I am a strong believer in the saying that, “Practice Makes Perfect.”
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice with minors in African American Studies and Sociology from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. While studying at UNCC, composing papers on a variety of subjects enhanced my grammar and sentence structure. Being a Lead teacher at Dixon Academy, supplied me with experience in interacting w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I truly believe that all children can learn with the right motivation. I have learned that it takes time to find the right strategy for some children, and not all children have the same strategy of learning. I enjoy working with children who others have given up on or can't seem to find the way to get to them. To me there is no greater joy than see the light in that child's eye, when someone has taken the time to help them get it...and they do get it. I love giving confidence back to a child who has lost it.
I am a highly motivated and results oriented professional with exceptional leadership and communication skills. Experience in leading and motivating students, parents and collegues.

My teaching philosophy is ever-changing and growing and has developed over the years from teaching children and adults. It is my goal to build a community of learners, whether it's one by one, in a small group, or a whole classroom where literacy in all subject matters is achieved. I've found that having a balanced approach to teaching by addressing different learning styles, continually assessing students’ progress and needs, and integrating curriculum whenever possible, helps to achieve this goal. Teaching my students to become autonomous learners by taking responsibility for their learning, feeling comfortable to take risks and exploring new skills and strategies, as well as learning how to respond to and reflect on their work, is essential. Showing them how reading, writing, math, social studies, science, language and more, can relate to their lives, their community, and the real ... read more

My teaching style ultimately depends of the student. I work much better with an individual or small group than with a class because I can find the angle that works best for each student. For younger children, I like to make learning into different games to keep their attention. For older students, I think it is important to establish some level of confidence early on within a subject so that they do not get too discouraged while new material is presented.
I have always had a good ability in math and sciences. I obtained a BA in Psychology from the University of Rochester, with a minor in Brain and Cognitive Sciences. I tutored college students in Psychology and Chemistry during my time there. I have also worked with all ages of children while working as a ski-instructor.
