Geometry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Oak Island, NC

As mentioned in my earlier description, I have eighteen years experience as an educator. I have taught students of all ages from early childhood through college and non-traditional adult education. I believe in making learning fun and engaging by relating concepts to points of interest for the individual student. Tutoring differs from teaching in that "style" is replaced by method. Some of the methods I have used in the past are rhythm and music, neumonic devices, and of course, drill and practice. I have been told that I am gifted with presenting material in novel ways.

Most of the struggling students i have encountered seem to have a low confidence in themselves that interferes with their studies. I believe this is due to the manner in which students are tested; in order to fully understand a concept, the student has to be able to explain the concept and its application in his/her own words. By starting from the basic concept of the field of study and working up, the student can acquire real knowledge of the subject. This practice involves patience and kindness on the part of the tutor as well as a certain measure of creativity and flexibility in the teaching approach. I started my college education in a community college, where i met many struggling students trying to improve their career opportunities. As a peer tutor at that school and in the jobs i have held since, I have developed a appreciation for the satisfaction that comes from assisting p

My teaching style is adaptive. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn. The approach to learning is what makes the difference. Being a mother, I love children and am very patient. I also know that kids have their own distinct personalities and I address each child as an individual person, with their own talents and ideas. There is nothing better than when a person's face lights up, young or old, when they "get it." Knowing you have impacted a person, potentially for the rest of their life, is a reward in and of itself. The pay that comes attached to it is the bonus. Since graduating with my Chemistry degree in 1997, I have volunteered off and on within the classroom, mentoring and tutoring children of all ages. I have several younger siblings and children of my own, so I have taken the many opportunities to go in and out of the classroom as a classroom parent, after school program

I make a point to have fun with my students, and my teaching style relies heavily upon real world examples that my students can both relate to and enjoy. I stand firmly against simply giving my students answers, but rather employ a strategy of leading my students to discovering their own answers. I find that this not only boosts my students' confidence in their subject, but also gives them the tools to succeed in the classroom during tests or quizzes, where I will not be around to help. And, most importantly, I never give up on a student, regardless of their initial ability. Through patience and creative problem solving, I have been able to help all of my students succeed and become independent learners. I first started tutoring while attending NCSSM, a state funded boarding school for the "best and brightest" students in North Carolina. I went on to continue tutoring at NC State Univers

I am a dedicated graduate student at the Univeristy of North Carolina Wilmington, where I earned a BS in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and am finishing my MS in Chemistry. I have had over two years experience tutoring in the sciences and leading my own classroom through general chemistry and organic chemistry lecture briefings and laboratory experiments. I have utilized my background in the arts (BFA in Dance) to present complicated material in numerous ways, to reach the broadest range of students. I have also had extensive experience teaching and mentoring local highschool students in NYC and NC in the art of movement and dance. I encourage learning by incorporating class discussions, including multiple visual aides as well as circulating continuously to offer individual assistance and provide an opportunity for students to ask open ended questions. I am very comfortable in both a

I finished high school with a high aptitude for Math and Science. I enjoyed AP Calculus, Ap Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Advanced Chemistry. After a year as an Engineering Major, I decided to switch to Music Education. I have a degree in Music Education. In Arizona I received my teaching certification in Secondary Methods and K-12 Music. In North Carolina I am certified K-12 Music. This past year I have been tutoring a Homebound student in tenth grade English, Earth Science, and World History. I have a healthy knowledge and fascination with all subjects with an aptitude for each one as well. I have found a great place in teaching, especially tutoring, due to my desire to help other people. I enjoy walking students through new information and giving them a firm understanding of the concepts and facts. I believe that there is nothing outside of a students grasp. I present

I believe that every child has a different manner of obtaining and learning information and it is the instructor's duty to identify each student's learning style and to teach accordingly. Think of a key ring with all sorts of different keys on the ring. As a teacher you must try one key on the key chain at a time. Sometimes the first key will open the door to a child's success and other times it could be the fifth or seventh key. Teacher's need to be patient and work with their student's to best identify their learning styles and needs. I currently have five years of teaching experience. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS degree from the University of South Florida in the fall of 2005. When teaching first grade, I was responsible for educating children ages 6-8 in all of the fundamental areas. I managed to create a loving, encouraging and educationally exciting learning environment fo

I have a B.S. in Chemistry from West Virginia University. Throughout my college years, I helped friends and students understand concepts they were having trouble with, and frequently participated in study groups. I am thorough and try to relate subject matter to the unique individual being tutored. It is sometimes necessary to the present the subject material differently than the child's teacher has. I will be patient and willing to stay until the child understands.

I love everything about working with children. I believe that everyone can learn if taught in the manner in which they can understand. I believe a teacher/tutor should try to adapt and change their methods to assist and engage the child in a productive learning enviornment. I believe that everyone has a role in the growth and success of a child's education. My goal is to provide the child with adequate resources and guidence needed to gain academic greatness. I am a hands on teacher because I believe individuals learn better when they are engaging in that which they are learning. As a graduate from western Carolina University, I earned my BS in Criminal Justice in three years and am close to gaining my MS in Human Services. I have been working in the human service field as a case manager/community support worker. Although it is not thought of as a teaching job, I have had the pleasure of

I am a high energy type teacher. I like to do creative things to motivate my students and make them realize that learning math can be fun. Since I have tutored for many years I have a lot of patience and understanding for students that have difficulty understanding the material. I believe that anyone has the potential to learn, they just need time and a different approach to master the material. Everyone has different learning styles, it is just a matter of finding what works best for them. I have taught mathematics for over 23 years. In Ohio I taught at a middle school for 2 years and then at an all boys high school for 17 years. At the high school I was the math tutor and worked with the students in all areas of mathematics from prealgebra to calculus. Curently I am teaching at Wallace Rosehill High School in North Carolina. I have been there for five years and teach algebra an

My aim is to provide the best education possible and thus help the student find academic success. I have gained much knowledge and appreciation for the English language, mathematics, and sciences while I earned The BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical and composition skills while writing numerous instructions, reports, and procedures as part of my work life. I have tutored my friends, my own children, and my relatives as students all my life in English, mathematics, and sciences.
