Poetry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Okatie, SC

I am an English major at the University of South Carolina Beaufort in my final semester of study and will be graduating in December with a BA and a concentration in writing. Though I have never formally been a tutor, I have always been the person that my friends have gone to for help with composing papers, interpreting and analyzing passages of literature, and general study skills for how to improve their writing and/or reading abilities. I am a member of my university's varsity softball team, and I have helped a lot of my teammates on long bus rides to games delve into a passage of Shakespeare or see the beauty behind Wordsworth's lines. English, particularly writing, is something I am very passionate about, and I love being able to help others in any way that I can in that field. I am quite flexible. I think every person learns differently and no singular method should be applied to wh

I can teach in a variety of ways. mainly by using ways to relate to the students understandings. I dont like the costant drilling techniques many people use.

I enjoy working with middle and high school age students. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time teaching and I love helping students understand more in their English classes. I am very passionate about reading and proper grammar and get so happy when I see a student's face light up in understanding of a new concept. If the first method I use to teach a new concept doesn't work, I try a different approach to make sure all students are able to understand. I earned a bachelor of science degree in Adolescent/Young Adult English/Language Arts Education from Miami University in December 2008. I then taught tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade English for six months, from January to June 2009. During the 2009-2010 school year I have been substitute teaching in both middle and high school. I am currently in a freshman English classroom for seven weeks while the full-time teacher is out on maternity lea

As the child of college educated parents who themselves were educators, I was drawn to education early in my life. I love to read and to help others to read. I have a Masters Degree in Reading Instruction. I also like to write. Wherever I worked as an educator, I always emphasized developing writing skills, whether I was teaching middle school students or high school students or community college students. I also did homebound tutoring for a few years when I was a dean and then assistant principal. I firmly believe that I can assist any student in learning the skills of reading and writing, or in anything involving high school or college literature, or in preparing for various standardized tests. I firmly believe that I am a student-centered educator. My ego is not involved in what I am doing. Each child learns in a different manner. A teacher's job is that of finding out how each studen

I have been a camp counselor, tutor, coach and teacher. I have taught English in Ghana, preschool in Argentina and special education in the Bronx. I have taught and worked with children of all levels, ages and backgrounds. I am very strong in writing and communication, but have also taught math up to fifth grade. I have taught science and social studies up to fifth grade as well. I believe all children can learn, but that all children learn differently. Having taught special education, I had a range of grade levels in my class. Very often the students would be spread out over three grade levels. Because of this, I am extremely good at tailoring my instruction to different levels and learning types. I try many different approaches to cater to different learning styles. Ultimately, I choose the method based on it's success and also how much the student enjoys it. Ultimately, the student ne

As a recipient of an Associates Degree Summa Cum Laude; I have and more importantly my students have experienced success within and outside of the classroom. Twenty-one out of twenty-four 4th graders under my tutelage increased MAP scores by over 20 points on average when the objective was just for 8 points. My proficiency in instructing in reading, writing, English Language Arts, and comprehension led to me being entrusted with conducting an enrichment program at my school over 1,300 students that led to me receiving 2 awards of Excellence of Service Award and Paraprofessional of the Month. My PLT scores were in the top 15% with 190 out of 200 that led to a Recognition of Excellence Certificate indicating this proficiency. The type of instructor I am working to become and remain does not view teaching as a job but, views teaching as an ongoing mission. My job will be to ensure that all

I have had the opportunity to observe a variety of teaching styles and widely varying curricula and philosophies. I have benefited from the advice of teachers, learning specialists, and administrators in very different classroom environments. Aware that students respond best in a multitude of different settings, I have learned how to incorporate a variety of approaches into my teaching: personal reflective and writing time, collaborative group work in brainstorming, compiling, and organizing information, class discussions, and most importantly time management. I have a very strong interest in pursuing a teaching career. The opportunity to teach and inspire students is an exciting prospect that I feel fully able to undertake.

Hey there. I am a medical school drop out. I have my bachelors in biology, with minors in botany, chemistry and economics. I wandered through many subjects and interest in school. I have tutored fellow students in my undergrad and in med school. I have a good understanding of algebra, economics, chemistry, physiology and writing papers. I cannot tell you I will be the best tutor on your roster, but I have crossed paths with many students that were ready to throw in the towel and have helped them bring their average to a b level before the semester was out. I do enjoy helping students with their problems. I have a technique of visualization. for example, which is the first example I use. I tell the student to think of a tree. in the seconds you think of a tree, you don't think of just the tree. you think of the roots, the trunk, the limbs, the branches, the leaves. then you think of what

I believe that a teacher should teach because he or she possesses a quest for learning, a passion for a particular subject, and is driven by a true calling and desire to inspire young and diverse minds. I believe that the learning environment is crucial for students’ understanding and intellectual growth, and I believe that teachers must contribute to the development of students’ curiosity and creativity. Teachers must always be open to new and improved forms of instruction, and he or she must explore various ways to inspire students. A teacher must also incorporate culturally responsive teaching into his or her instruction so that all students are capable of receiving similar instruction that respects their differences. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in English from the University of South Carolina. Throughout my studies, I explored various literature and produced many pieces of

Since childhood, I have worked to help students improve their skills at reading, writing, public speaking or any other subject I could offer help with. In May, 2009, I received my BA in English, which allows me to assist with all English subjects, including writing, grammar, public speaking, and literature. I am also comfortable tutoring in Music Theory, Vocal Performance, and Basic Piano and am able to work with beginning French learners on grammar, vocabulary, and reading skills. I have worked as an undergraduate teaching assistant for a Sophomore-level writing class and helped students to improve their grade up to 18 percentage points. For the last five years, I have tutored in English, Music, and Beginning French. I enjoy teaching and working with students from age 4 through 40 and have worked with students throughout that range.

I always make the attempt to reach the individual, and praise each of my students, even in a classroom setting. I explain that I only know the person/student that he or she shows me. I have had tremendous success with, and great feedback from, my students. I believe that providing a positive, comfortable atmosphere, the student is better able to focus on the subject. I seem to have worked in the education field from the very beginning. I started out in preschools, and most recently have been teaching at the college level. I have taught every age in between. I am very skilled at not only grammar, but also the elements of composition.
