A Little Bit About Me...

I have over 21 years of experience in law enforcement. In each of those years I was required to instruct others in numerous subjects. Those years gave me a sense of discipline and motivation which I applied to my students learning experiences. During my lifetime, I have experienced a wide variety of professional exposures, and I did my best to master each one. This gives me a tremendously broad base of practical knowledge to impart to others. Currently, I am an adjunct professor for basic law enforcement training at Brunswick Community College in Supply, NC.
I have learned several teaching techniques, but the one that I prefer is the military training style. I tell them what I am going to teach, then I teach them, and then I tell them what I taught them. Finally, I require a practical application of the skills they have learned. Your child will find learning from me t ... read more

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 pr ... read more

I have served over 10 years in private Christian education as a principal, business and operations manager, and teacher for both middle and high school. In addition, I have taught adults in a variety of organizations over the last 20 years. I am also a professional magician and have instructed adults and children in this fabulous art form.
I believe in trying to incorporate each learning style into my teaching plan. This means that I use lecture, reading assignments, and hands-on learning to accomplish this. My main focus is to make learning matter. I have often been heard using the phrase..."So What?" I ask that question because I firmly believe that effective learning not only teaches the what...but also the why. I want students to be able to apply their learning. That way, ownership for the learning has taken place and it will "stick" with the student for a life-time.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching and working with students of all ages and education levels. I believe that all students are able to learn if given the right tools and exposed to the correct style of learning that they need. No one individual learns at the same pace or in the same way so I believe in a customized approach when trying to instruct and tutor a student in a particular subject. I am a strong believer in a hands-on approach to teaching where the student learns by activity based methods. I encourage my students to look for solutions and come up with answers to problems through their own reasoning with guidance from myself or other teachers. I strive to be a positive influence and advocate for students that reach out for guidance and support.
As a graduate of three university programs, I have a strong drive and desire for fostering learning in myself and in others. I have a doctorate degr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a substitute teacher in the New Hanover County school system. I have 4+ years teaching in middle school and high school classes. I have prepared and taught classes during my previous career with the Federal Government to adults. My major in Biology gave me a strong background in the sciences and math. I have always found these subjects interesting as well as essential for success in work. I try and communicate my enthusiasm for these subjects to my students. I relate well to youngsters and teenagers and they respond by treating them as responsible young people.
As a parent of two adult sons, I have had the opportunity to work with youngsters at all stages of their development. In addition, I have always been involved in various young activities including Little League baseball, cub scounts, youth soccer etc. I believe that setting a good example of approp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have completed all courses for my Associates Degree and was a trainer at my previous position. When in high school, I was a college preparatory student and graduated with a high school Diploma as well as 12 Advanced Placement courses and completed my International Baccalaureate diploma.
I love teaching all grades and levels. The most important aspect of teaching is to know your student. Each individual learns in different ways, some are tactile learners, some are visual, and some are auditory learners. Incorporating all aspects into my teaching style assists the retention of the material. It also has to be relatable to the student, so we have to use relevant examples that they understand. All children can learn any subject if you can spark their interest. There is no better feeling than seeing the light turn on and the sense of accomplishment in a child's eyes.

For me, there's nothing better than seeing that light of understanding and excitement come over someone's face when they solve a problem (like math) or suddenly comprehend a subject they were having trouble with (like how to write a paper). And it doesn't matter what the age is; anyone can learn. I'm very patient, but I don't take nonsense from anyone either. They have to be as serious about learning as I am about teaching.
My educational background (I’m an Ivy League grad), high levels of achievement, work experience, mentoring and teaching activities gave me the skills to be an effective tutor. As a senior employee, I mentored new employees. As a graduate teaching assistant, I worked with college students in helping them understand complex subjects. At my daughter’s elementary school, I worked with students on improving their reading skills. My strongest skill set is in English c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having wanted to teach since I was a child, I pursued my degree at UNC Wilmington and graduated magna cum laude in May 2010. I now teach at Duplin Early College High School and am finishing my first year of teaching. I cemented my desire to teach through various part-time jobs as a college student: tutoring special needs, substitute teaching, tutoring in writing, mentoring middle school students, and as a camp counselor. I have extensive knowledge and practice of grammar, writing skills and forms, literary analysis, history/social studies, general music, general theater, and general film through my experiences teaching or through the aforementioned part-time jobs.
I not only believe that all students can learn, but that all students learn in various methods. My preferred teaching method is a combination of Constructivism (hands-on, inquiry-based learning) and Behaviorism (rewar ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style would best be described as conversational at best, drawing out of the student, their knowledge or lack of knowledge. I have taught my two honors student sons that I add to their body of knowledge and they are to coalesce the information to their understanding.
Having a degree in Philosophy & Religion has many advantages in teaching. I have found to better understand a subject it is best to go and study many different resources for that subject, a macro-view. However the complicated subject is, a person who knows that subject will be able to present it in a simple concise manner. With this approach I am able to study and present a variety of subjects in a concise but exciting manner. The full grasps of studying P&R encompasses many sub fields of study : i.e. history, psychology, sociology, pretty much all the liberal arts.

More About This Tutor...

I have completed both an MBA and bachelors degree in business and during that education I studied a wide array subjects. Marketing, Finance, accounting, HR, and economics. The cumulation of all this experience has taught me well and now I would love the opportunity to pass on this knowledge to others and help them get through challenging times.
I am very open and ask for a lot of participation on behalf of the student. I feel that if they get involved and ask lots of questions that they will learn better. I love helping children and try and find creative ways to help them learn and remember their work at hand.
