As a graduate of an elite Independent High School, I strived to be the best at every subject I pursued in college. I started my Bachelors of Music as a Music Education major, but changed to Music Business in my sophomore year. Both of my majors gave me the knowledge skills to understand many different areas of the arts. I also excelled in my English classes, where I learned great skills in grammar, research papers, and sentence structure. Over the last five years I have tutored students in Music and English. I enjoy working with children of all ages. I feel that no two students are alike and it takes a compassionate and focused instructor to figure out the best way that a student will effectively learn. I am a very patient, kind, yet firm teacher, and I believe that gentle constructive criticism is the best way for any student to learn, regardless of their age. It is my personal goal tha

I believe that teaching should be student-directed. Teachers should pique the curiosity of their students, and act as a resource for the acquisition of knowledge. Whenever possible, education should be hands-on, interactive and should always stimulate -- not bore -- the student. I started out doing nanny work in college. After graduating in 1998, I moved to Detroit, Michigan to pursue a career in language studies. I became the Language Training Director for a language services company. I supervised a teaching staff of 150 instructors who gave language instruction to businessmen and women who were relocating for business purposes. We gave instruction in language and culture, while providing relocation help to families who were settling in the US. In 2002 I taught American Literature and Conversational English classes at Oral Roberts University's University Language Institute. In 2003, I w

Something I have always enjoyed while tutoring is the moment that the student 'gets it'. In order to properly prepare the student for their future education, you must show them the importance of the process of learning. The idea of the process builds the student's ability to work independently, thus giving them a valuable life lesson. I believe every student is special and learns in different ways, and I try to adapt quickly to their learning style. I also incorporate a wide variety of methods to keep the student's interest and excitement in the subject. If the student can see how the subjects can relate to their future and everyday life, it will increase their desire to learn. A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Contemporary Writing and Production, I used my AP-level English background to tutor international students at the college in English reading, writing, and speaking.

I have taught 5th and 6th grade ESL students for this semester, and I have taught English two summers in Korea at intensive English immersion camps. I have also tutored adult and college level students in English at UT while obtaining my degree and enjoyed it the most. Having quality one on one or small group time is the best for students to acquire the knowledge they need, and have instructors that can focus on their individual needs. Not only did I tutor students, but I also helped colleagues whose first language was not English with assignments and my college roommate who was from Taiwan. I enjoy writing and enjoy helping others express themselves in writing. I would love to continue helping others and become a tutor. People have all different manners of learning information, and most people need a lot of visuals and real life experiences, especially if their first language is not Eng

I believe the best environment for growth is a safe environment. My teaching style communicates clear expectations while at the same time allows room for the growing pains of learning new information. Encouragement and positive reinforcement can go a long way in motivating students. Some people learn best through seeing, some people learn best through hearing and some people learn best through doing. I want to creatively incorporate teaching styles that best fit the needs of my students. I am 31, a Nashville native and recently married. In 2001, I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Social Work. In 2008, I earned a Master of Divinity by studying theology and translating ancient Greek and Hebrew. This required writing many research papers. Last year I lived in Turkey, located north of Egypt. Now I enjoy being back in Nashville. Over the last several

My experience working with children and adults with Communication Disorders/Cognitive Deficits has provided me with an understanding and experience to assist others in many areas. I have an MS in Communication Disorders. This includes learning disabilities that involve language comprehension and expression, and problem solving deficits. I have also worked extensively with children and adults who have vocabulary deficits as a result of learning/language disabilities. My background and training has also equipped me to assist individuals who are not native English speakers in the areas of reading, writing, vocabulary, and accent reduction. I enjoy working with children and adults. My teaching style is tailored to the individual, as individuals learn differently and at various paces. I am very patient, and flexible. I believe that structure is necessary, without sacrificing creativity.

I never thought about teaching, but as the oldest girl of 15 grandchildren I have been teaching someone something my whole life. I believe in positive reinforcement and repetition. Each person has their own learning style. You just have to find it. Nothing is too hard for anyone to comprehend. You must believe in yourself, once you do that, you can do anything whether you like it or not. As a honors graduate, I have always loved sharing knowledge with others. I have worked hard and earned the distinction as an affable and thorough teacher and tutor. Throughout undergrad, I tutored grades 3-6 in Math, Science, and Writing at F.L. Stanton Elementary in Atlanta, GA. Upon graduating, propelled by wanderlust I ended up teaching English to Japanese students, 0-45 years, in Japan for three years. All of my students showed progress and a genuine appreciation for the materials. Having secured a B

At the age of 24 already possessing a bachelor's and master's degree illustrates my efficiency and determination. I have taught English as a second language at the high school level and politcal science at the university level. I am very personable and able to relate to various types and education levels of students. I have tutored in history, english, spanish, italian, social studies, civics, and the arts. I enjoy enabling students to discover the abilities within themselves. I excel at being able to get students to find answers to their struggles by asking them the right questions, leading them in the right direction instead of doing the work for them. I have an uncanny ability to see the best in all students, patience, understanding, and flexibilty are virtues in tutoring. Each student is unique and needs an individual style of assistance.

In May of 2010, I will be graduating from the State University of New York at Oswego with a BS in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). In four years, I have gained valuable experience in working with children of all ages through tutoring programs and coaching. I have also been extremely fortunate to have gained experience through Practicum and student teaching assignments. I am extremely motivated to teach and learn myself and this attitude is carried out in my classroom. I believe that if I am enthusiastic and have a positive attitude, then my students will, too. As an ESL teacher, I have learned that differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students is an absolute must. Every child is unique and learns at a different pace or in a different way, and therefore, I find it necessary to change lessons and activities to meet the needs of every individual
