Desktop Publishing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pelzer, SC

My teaching style is very hands on. I like to work the problems out with the students and show them how to do each step. I love questions and I love for the student to fully understand. I want the student to fully comprehend what they are doing. If not, they will never be able to do it without me there. Confidence is key and that can be achieved through repetition and a full understanding. As a college student, I wanted to help other struggling students as well as polish my own skills. I decided that tutoring students would be a great job to earn money and achieve some personal goals. In addition, I played college sports so my students were other athletes. I have tutored students in math, accounting, finance, English, and various other business classes.

I not only enjoy educating students, I have compassion for students who struggle to succeed. I have learned that every child is unique and all have different learning styles and perhaps, that is why they are struggling with learning some information. I am a strong believe in mulitple intelligences and I strive to help the student learn which is the best way for him or her to learn. I am not only an effective teacher because I give the student a different way of learning, but I also care about the students. I believe, before all learning begins, the student needs to know how much the teacher truly cares. I am a strong believer in the popular quote, "They don't care about how much you know, they care about how much you care." I have three years of experience working with students with special needs in the classroom. I also have personal experience helping those with special needs. My y

I recently graduated from the University of Minnesota, where I earned my BS in Elementary Education. During my education, I had the opportunity to work with many different backgrounds, and in different school subjects. I have a strong understanding in science and math. I currently hold a teaching certification for Early Childhood, Elementary, and Middle School Science, for both Minnesota and South Carolina. Currently, I am substituting in the Greenville County Schools. I enjoy working with all ages. Having a BS in Elementary Education has taught me that all students are different, and need individualized instruction to help them succeed. I believe that every student succeed that is given the appropriate educational experience. My goal is to make a difference in each students life by giving them the tools to be successful on their own.

As an adult graduate of a local university, I believe that everyone has their own learning style. Not every teacher recognizes that students learn differently, and I have been successful helping others with hands-on, re-teaching, and verbal skills. Sometimes it helps to just review information, but in the end doing my best to help the student learn. I am currently employed as a Regional Revenue Manager responsible for daily functions of increasing revenue for hotels that I serve. I have to utilize various levels of math everyday to be successful, through this employment and working in banking and as a treasurer for a church, I believe my expertise will help me be a great tutor for you and your student.

Being that I work in a Title 1 school with a high ESOL population, I give my students as many hands-on experiences as possible. I use a lot of differentiation to meet the needs of all academic levels in my classroom (emergent readers-9th grade level). ELA, and especially writing, is my strongest subject, though I teach all subjects to my 5th graders. I believe in the power of encouragement, and that by having faith in a child, they in turn, will learn to have faith in themselves. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Clemson University in May of 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. I completed a wide variety of methods classes and classroom observations, as well as practicum and student teaching in 5th and 2nd grade respectively. Through these experiences, I learned to develop ADEPT lesson plans that are content and developmentally appropriate for the age group I am teaching

I have worked at summer camps for children ages 8-16 throughout my entire life, and love making a difference in a child's life. I am very patient and have a positive attitude. I believe that students learn in different ways, and it is our job as educators to help enrich them for the future. When given the proper instructions and guidance I firmly believe that any child can succeed if just one person believes in them. I believe in all of my students, and do my best to help them reach their goals. I have earned two bachelor degrees, one in Information Systems and Business Processes and the other in Communications and Media. I believe that education is very important and am now continuing my education, I plan to receive my Masters in Higher Education in May 2012. I have worked as a counselor at a young female enrichment program for the last two years, and enjoyed tutoring in Math, Scien

I love to teach and work with young children. I believe that all children are eager to please us, we just have to be available to hear them. All children are different. We don't expect them to be carbon copies of one another, so why should we expect them to learn the same way? I feel that it is my job, my mission in life, to strive to reach these children on THEIR level. I am a firm believer that children learn by doing. I like to find creative ways to teach "the boring stuff." I graduated from Clemson University in 2005 with a BA in Early Childhood Education. After my first year of teaching I began earning my Masters in Education from Southern Wesleyan University. I just finished in December 2007! I have been a kindergarten teacher for the past two and a half years in Laurens District 55. Currently I am teaching 4K at a HeadStart school in Greenville County. During the past f

What I have discovered about myself is that I learn differently from other people. I am the kind of person who prefers to set aside that assembly instruction manual and put together that Christmas toy by laying out the pieces in an orderly fashion. There is so much pleasure in problem solving. I learn by asking myself questions. I have little patience for mundane drills and memorization if they can be avoided. Each child is different. It is meaningless to say that a child is intelligent. There are many kinds of intelligences. Some children are more intelligent in memorization. Others are intelligent in solving problems. It is best to discover the child's strengths and weaknesses and adapt a program to each and every child. I love learning and the precision arts such as mathematics. This has driven me to begin in a computer career. I spent almost two decades applying my com

I feel that I am very much a hands-on learner, but I also enjoy engaging the minds of those that I educate. I enjoy researching new and more relevant ways to teach the applicable generation under my watch. Also, I feel that learning occurs outside of the classroom/main learning environment, and that as a mentor/teacher, I am able to pass on various types of lessons. My current place of study models this truth for me; by opening up their lives to their students. This shows them that life is a series of lessons; one that must be taken just as seriously. When engaged in a teaching opportunity, I attempt to be pleasant, passionate, and humorous. Above all, I desire those listening to enjoy the privilege it is to learn. I've always known that I wanted to work with children and adolescents. Prior to college, I was chosen to enroll in a course that helps those desiring to work in education or a

I love working with children and young adults. My challenge as a tutor is to take something that is difficult and make it fun and understandable. Too often students look at teachers or adults as enemies, and I try to take a very laid-back, conversational approach when tutoring. Obviously if the child is being tutored in a particular subject, there is an obstacle or a problem in that area so it is important to build the child's confidence and show them that they can succeed. There is nothing more satisfying. I have always had a desire to teach and be involved in education. After earning a degree in Broadcasting, I decided to change fields and get into teaching. I earned a CELTA (Certificate in English Teaching to Adults) from Cambridge University in 1999. Upon receiving that certificate I immediately began teaching English to adults. I first worked in an on-site language school en

I have seven years of teaching experience, five of those in Texas and two in South Carolina. I also have three years of substitute teaching experience. I have taught 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, and I have substitute taught all elementary grades and some middle and high school grades. I am strong in both mathematics and language arts. I enjoy working with children and have wanted to be a teacher since I was in the fourth grade. My favorite part about teaching is when I see the "light bulb" go on in a child's mind and there is excitement about learning. I think every child can learn and that children need structure and guidance in the learning process. I also believe that children can do more than what we often think they can so they need to be encouraged to stretch their thinking, to use their imaginations, and to not give up when something is difficult or challenging.

I am very positive and motivated. Realizing that everyone does not learn in the same way I believe in tailoring learning to the individual. Some are visual learners while others may need to have something explained to them with several different examples based on their individual needs. I believe learning, while requiring hard work, can also be fun. In addition, children and adults are motivated through different means. While an adult may gain a sense of satisfaction from their accomplishment, a child may need something like a "sticker" as a reward.

As a liberal arts college graduate, I was educated in multiple subjects, with a focus on the importance of integrating curriculum. I have earned two bachelor degrees, one in Visual Arts and the other in English with Academic Honors. Being an English major, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing and editing four years worth of literary and expository research papers. I have experience tutoring students from elementary to college levels in English and literature, music, visual arts, mathematics, social studies, and history. I pick up tutoring in new subjects quickly and easily. I love working with all age groups. I have three younger siblings that I have helped tutor through all levels of their educations. I have also tutored on a college level while in attendance at Presbyterian College. I am very patient, easy-going, and considerate. I emphasize the personal nature of
