I was an English teacher in China, and I am fluent in both English and Chinese. I can help tutor people who are dyslexic and people with learning disorders. I can teach basic math, typing, as well as reading and writing English. As my mother could not speak English well, I've had lots of experience helping her with reading, writing, typing, as well as how to use a computer. I have a B.A. and can work with people who are preparing for their GED or ASVAB.

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must

After high school I achieved a BS from George Peabody College for teacher, however did not teach for money until many years later after I received my MS. My work in clinical psychology has been mostly with children, the severely mentally ill, and abuse cases. My last full time position was teaching high school material in a one room school to students who were wards of the state. I taught anger management for the local courts for eight years. Now I teach parenting classes for divorcing couples for the Giles County court. I also occasionally teach a seminar for attorneys on body language. As both a teacher and a counselor I have worked to develop a teaching style that is student focused. In order to do that I want to inspire and challenge the student to reveal their abilities and interests and track them as they develop. The student and I will set specific goal areas with attai

I have loved education and the process of learning since I was a child. Due to family issues, I dropped out at in the 9th grade but due to extensive reading most of my life on many subjects, and being gifted intellectually, thank God, I was enrolled in college at the age of 16. Due to my age, I lacked the discipline needed to succeed then so joined the Army at 18 and finished first in my class in their HS program. I continued going to college in the evenings an weekends until I completed my Master's degree, meanwhile raising 3 children and running a certified home daycare. I am currently a Realtor but am looking to enroll in a Doctoral program in Education. I am a "people" person as they say and get refueled helping others learn and figuring out a way for it to make sense students to overcome their barriers. I am comfortable with all subjects except the higher maths (trigonometry/ge

As a special education teacher, I am highly motivated to see all students succeed both inside and outside of the classroom setting. I have earned a bachelor degree in Political Science with a minor in History and a master's degree in both Elementary and Special Education. I am currently finishing my certification in working with English Language Learners and receiving my ESL endorsement. I have worked extensively in the core classes in a high school setting but have worked and trained with all subjects in elementary and secondary settings. Teaching is my passion. Students need to be challenged, engaged, and eager to learn which is fueled by the enthusiasm of the teacher. I recognize that not every student in my classroom learns in the same manner. Various teaching methods need to be combined so that students have the opportunity to learn in multiple ways. The more opportunities that are

I love teaching and interacting with willing minds. Teaching "runs in the blood", where my mother is an excellent teacher in the Huntsville City School District, my father was a former teacher and all of my aunts and uncles functions or functioned in some teaching capacity. I believe that teaching should be made enjoyable and not laborious. The goal of teaching is to relate concepts and principles in such a way that a pupil is able to apply appropriately those principles in any situation that he/she may be confronted with whether in life or in a test. My joy is seeing a student excel and gain confidence in their ability to learn and to be tested on what they have learned. My experience ranges a great deal and encompasses a lot of subject matter from K-12 Math to English and Literature. My wide range of expertise is indicative of my schooling where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in

My teaching style centers around the idea that every kid learns differently. Some understand pictures better some words. Either way someone learns, they stay focused through fun, enthusiastic teaching. Ironically I believe its not always a childs intelligence level that holds them back, its often more the attention the receive from teachers and the style that they filter through. With that in mind, I believe in empowering students to believe in themselves and get excited to achieve goals they never have before. I'm passionate about helping people become who they're made to be and that defines my style best. Graduating from Alabama with a BS in Finance, I have a strong grasp of math concepts. I finished with a 3.83 and excelled in history, math, computer, economics, and business classes. After graduation, I moved to China to work with college students in the non-profit sector a

I am a recent college graduate who has demonstrated academic excellence in all subject areas. Particularly, I excelled in mathematics and became a math tutor while completing my AS degree. In doing so, I discovered a genuine love for the subject and an enthusiasm for teaching others. I recently obtained a BA in psychology where I learned a great deal about human behavior that will assist me in relating to other students. As I also completed a minor in mathematics, I understand the patience required in learning complex topics, and have empathy towards those having difficulty with subject matter. I feel prepared to encourage and motivate students if they become frustrated. While I consider mathematics my forte, I feel confident assisting students in most subject areas. Often students claim to "hate" a particular topic, which can arouse a certain amount of anxiety, hindering the learn

As my experience at college drew to a close, I found that the most rewarding activities I participated in were centered on education. I am a lifelong learner, and I love participating with others in the learning process. I set a relaxed atmosphere that fosters the students drive to ask questions and seek answers. I am comfortable with taking control of a session and speaking throughout (Lecture) or allowing the student to come up with their areas of difficulty and ask questions (Synthesis). I believe that educators frame the future of the young people they contact, and I want to help others as I have been helped in the past. I also would like the opportunity to learn by doing, and see if this field is the one for me. As a college student, I was convinced early that I would become a doctor or scientific researcher. About halfway through my college career, I decided that while science was

New research studies in neurogenesis now conflicts with studies that once believed that knowledge was predetermined. I am a living witness that knowledge is not predetermined. Failing is an option and exceling is a choice. My primary goal as an educator is to teach the student how to approach problems in any subject matter by using a systematic approach. Learning is akin to building blocks; meaning that you can not move forward until you have a foundation to start with. I have a degree in Liberal Arts from Aquinas College and a Chemistry degree from Tennessee State University. After I graduated in 2006 from TSU, I taught science and chemistry courses for Metro Nashville Public Schools for three years. I have been tutoring students in the MNPS since 2006 in middle school courses such as math, science, and physical science. I also taught high school chemistry for those students attending M

My goal is to provide the best tutoring environment and help your child reach the highest grade in their subjects.

Teaching is gift and I enjoy being able to make a difference in a child's life. Even though my experience only comes from substitute teaching, our goals for students are similar to a permenant teacher. I don't just believe all children can learn, I know all children can learn. I am more than happy to help your child achieve in any subject that they are lacking in. Being a mother myself, I understand how important education and academic success is to a parent. I am a compassionate, patient and understanding individual who's goal is to provide your child with the best education possible. As a recent graduate, I am eagered to learn all that I can to reach the highest level of experience in education.
