EXPERT TUTOR-MultiSubject; Home/ONLINE; +WRITING instructor

I am a Cum Laude graduate with a B.A. from Belmont University, and I have been an educator for more than a decade since. My experience includes classroom teaching, small group instruction, and individualized tutoring (in person OR online via Zoom, email, FaceTime etc.) I specialize in English, Language Arts, writing composition, Latin, and other Humanities subjects. But I am also an effective & experienced instructor of Maths or Sciences. Outside of subject-specific tutoring, I offer assistance with academic advising, study skills, test prep, daily homework, and any written assignments. A lot of my clients are seeking instructional guidance through the essay writing process - outlining, paragraph drafting, content development, research/source usage, grammar/mechanics, sentence structure, etc. My students have ranged in age from preschool through college, and I have a very strong record ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching should be an engaging process between both the teacher and student. When students are not only able to comprehend concepts, but to fully explain the concepts to others, true learning has occurred. My goal is to strive for true understanding and to ignite a passion for knowledge that will fuel the learners for years to come. I believe that all students can learn and education holds the key for future success in life. I facilitate the learning process through the use of differentiated instruction and Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory. I believe in the constructivist model of education and knowledge seeking which focuses on a facilitation of the learning process and allows students to construct their own learning.
I have 7 years of teaching experience in the public school system. While certified in Tennessee and Florida in the areas of the social sciences (History and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After finishing my undergraduate work, I was a substitute teacher for 7 months. I then went on to Belmont University where I recieved my Masters in Education, which required a one year student teaching placement. I have also served as a TCAP interventionalist where I helped students prepare for the statewide achievment test.
I love to work hands- on with children. I believe in meeting a child at their individual level, both emotionally and academically. I want to make my students believe in themselves in order that they one day meet their full potential.

More About This Tutor...

I hold two bachelor's degrees from Mississippi State University. Both degrees were award under an International Business Major. I have taught German labs at the University level and can teach math whether geometry, trigonometry, algebra or pre-calculus.
My teaching style is facilitative. I ask a lot of questions and require my students to practice a minimum of 3 examples in front of me for every technique I explain. I have a fun style and enjoy watching the confidence grow in my pupils. The only child that ever lost interest in what I had to say was my own. :)

More About This Tutor...

My interest in mathematics is what originally fueled my desire to pursue an accounting degree. My work ethic and study skills are what have allowed me to earn both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in this field. My greatest strengths, however, are writing and composition, which is why I minored in English. I've tutored in English, math, and accounting (jr high, high school, & college-level) for the past 8 years.
My teaching style varies depending on the needs of my clients. Typically when I tutor more than one student at a time, I like to give frequent assessments (verbal or written). These "quizzes" aren't to punish the students; I use them to assess the needs of the students and the strengths and weaknesses of my teaching methods. The results allow me to adjust my style accordingly and focus on the areas in which the students need the most help.

I have a deep passion to share my knowledge with people(all ages). I've developed my teaching style to be proactive towards a students needs, goals and commitment. I treat all my students with respect, patience and consideration, with the idea being to help each one work towards maximizing their fullest potential. I also believe it is important to be sensitive to the students ongoing needs as people, to determine the approach best suited to a students learning needs. I would work to employ a different strategy if the current one was not yielding the desired result. I want to make a difference in the lives of the students I teach, and that requires a constant dedication to the discovery of the means to that end.
Teaching has been a productive and varied part of my life. I've worked as a substitute for nearly 18 years(1974-1992) in the Champaign-Urbana area school districts in Illi ... read more

The greatest benefit of teaching, to me, is seeing the look in a child's eyes when he or she finally reaches that understanding of what you are teaching them. The challenge of finding a new way to help a child reach this understanding is what drives me to teach. As each child learns differently, a teacher must be constantly brainstorming new teaching methods in order to reach every student and address each of their individual learning styles.
Growing up with more than five teachers in my family, I have always had a deep understanding of the importance of education and a drive to teach others. I recieved my Bachelor's in English from the University of Southern Indiana with the intention of completing a Masters and becomming an instructor at the college level. However, upon completion of my Bachelors, I immediately began teaching at Nashville State Community College as an adjunct ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From an early age, growing up in a loving & driven environment, it became overwhelmingly apparent to me that, just as food & exercise nourish the physical body, education nourishes the mind, spirit, & soul. Thus far, I have earned two bachelors degrees: a BS in Spanish & a BA in Finance, which have both been a tremendous advantage in this progressive, global economy. I did not realize how qualified I was to teach/tutor until this past year when I worked with inner city youth, as a part of the NCLB program here in Metro Nashville. I worked with children from any & every ethnicity, background, & culture. While my actual title as a "tutor," has only been present about a year, I have always been a mentor, kindred spirit, & positive influence to my family, friends, & on occasion, the lonely passer-by.
Family & friends have expressed to me that my open-mindedness & clever & creative na ... read more

I have always had a passion for educating children. I attended two different colleges and I value the experience and skills provided by both institutions. I spent two years at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, where I studied elementary education. I interned in a second grade classroom where I provided lesson plans and support to the head teacher. My favorite part of this experience was when I had the chance to sit with the children who were struggling and help them understand the subjects better. I also attended Berklee College of Music where I developed the skills to be able to teach private instruction in voice and piano.
I love to work with children because it allows me to use my creativity. I tend to use a more kinesethic, hands-on approach in my teaching. I believe that when children are able to have the subject matter displayed to them in a 3D format, they are ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that the most important characteristic that a teacher must have is consistency. The teacher must develop a system of rigorous work with ample support. I believe that it is imperative to possess an in-depth knowledge of the subject which one teaches, not just be a few pages ahead in the book. In order to achieve this high level, I prepare meticulously for each session, reach the student on his or her level and help guide them to where he or she needs to be.
I have had the opportunity to work and help develop young minds for a few years. After college, I tutored full time at a high performing urban charter school where I worked on basic remedial skills with students. I have continued to work with young people to build confidence in their skills and improve their performance in school and on tests. I have tutored students from 5th grade through 12th grade, focusing mostly on ... read more
