I tend to prefer a Socratic method of teaching where the student discovers the answer through discussion, reading and research. I will use direct instruction on occassion when the need arises but my classroom is typically humming with group work and whole class discussions.

My teaching style is based on reading then reviewing. At that point in time ask questions to see if the student has grasped the information being given. If not, answer questions then clarify. When reviewing information it is important to make sure the student knows reasoning behind subject matter so that they are understanding logic and not just memorizing information. In subjects that invloves math such as probability, chemistry, or statistics, I would do a few examples followed by letting the tutee working a few problems.

A Little Bit About Me...

In my 2nd year of teaching, I have enjoyed the experiences that have came my way due to my students. I enjoy going to work daily and leave almost everyday with a sense of gratification because of the accomplishments I help my students achieve. I currently teach 4th grade and feel this grade level has helped me fine tune my writing skills due to the demanding pressure placed on my students to pass the 4th grade writing test. I feel that I am already a good teacher, but know I can be better. Therefore, I will be starting my master’s degree in the summer of 2006 in hopes to become a more effective teacher.
Teaching is an art that needs to be perfected based on each individual child’s needs. I am a very demanding teacher, but at the same time always fair and give positive reinforcement while the student is learning and of course, when they have obtained their goals. I teach using a va ... read more

I love to teach, period. I believe that as a humanistic educator, all children can learn if given the right attention and the right motivation to succeed. In the past, I have worked with students from all backgrounds and economic strata-AG students, "At-risk" students, and they taught me to be deligent but not gullible, firm but not overbearing, and to always give a calm and penetrating judgement in times of crisis. In the interim, I am pleased to say that I have taught over five thousand students in the state of North Carolina that are presently giving their major contributions to the building of the state and country. I am very proud of that. I am a firm believer in teaching through experimentation, discovery and in providing challenging opportunities for students to grow. My goal is to proide the best education money can buy. I believe children learn by doing, and not by spo ... read more

As a tutor at my alma mater, I had the opportunity to work with students who learned at different speeds and who required different teaching techniques in order to grasp the material. Although patient and flexible by nature, this experience served to increase these traits, as well as to hone my communication skills. My aim as a tutor is to empower the students and heighten their confidence level. I believe that students should not just learn but also be able to analyze and explain what they are learning. Learning should be enlightening as well as enjoyable.

I describe myself as someone with a broad knowledge base and a solid understanding of a number of disciplines. Part of the reason for my diverse academic background is an appreciation for learning. As someone with a passion for the learning process and an excitement for learning, I believe that I exude this excitement when communicating information to others. In dealing with anyone, I believe it is important to communicate in a respectful manner and to make the other person feel as comfortable as possible. With children, I believe it is important that each child develop a proper knowledge base, however, I also believe it is important that the child understand how to think and understand the reason for learning particular subjects.
I have a broad and diverse educational background which includes a BS in Engineering, BS in History, and a JD. In addition to my educational backgro ... read more

I have had several educators make a large impact on my life and seen others impact the life of my learning-disabled brother. Learning has never come easily to him, but patient educators have helped him succeed. I am one of those patient educators.

More About This Tutor...

I have taught or tutored students in preschool, middle school, high school, and college. I have 10 years of successful teaching experience in Charlotte. I am currently in a university position to help prepare students/teachers seeking initial or advanced licensure in education. I have a particularly in-depth understanding of the middle school child. Most of my tutoring experience took place during my college or early teaching years. I returned to tutoring a year ago when a friend was seeking a qualified professional to tutor her middle school son in science. Because social studies and science are interdisciplinary subjects by nature, I am able to teach other skills as well, such as reading, writing, and study skills.
Teaching social studies for so many years has allowed me to implement a great variety of teaching strategies, such as graphic organizers, cooperative learning, n ... read more
