GED Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Research Triangle Park, NC

I started tutoring students middle and high school prior to graduating college. I have taught part-time college students at various institutions since 1996. I also have worked as an independent tutor part-time. I have more than 30 years of experience teaching as a one-on-one tutor and as a college instructor. I currently teach at Wake Tech Community College. I have taught at Strayer University, Campbell University, Mount Olive College, Durham Tech Community College, Central Carolina Community College and Vance-Granville Community College. I have worked with 3 other tutoring companies: University Instrcutors, Advanced Learners and WyzAnt. I enjoy teaching any age student, but more than that I get satisfaction when that student attains their goal. I believe in using the Socratic method of teaching and allowing the student to get their own answers rather than just telling them. I seek to de

I am compassionate, enthusiastic, and highly experienced! I possess a professional degree with certifications, and have had over 7 years of experience working with students that have special needs. I serve kindergarten through adult. With my background in Education and my specialization in Special Education, I have worked with numerous children AND adults that have experienced academic frustration. I understand the differences in learning styles and take the time to understand your unique needs. I do not prescribe just one method to teach you; I have the experience to synthesize different methods to create a unique plan for you or your child. I combine tactile, auditory, and visual modalities to create a holistic approach that is tailored to your specific needs. I use multi-sensory instruction in everything.

I enjoy both teaching and tutoring. I have a passion for helping those who require multiple levels of assistance with sever facets of the English language. Whether it be a need in decoding, comprehension, essay writing, creative writing, or even vocabulary, I have the skills to bring out the perfection in any student. I specialize in the education and enhancement of all students and I do so by making learning fun. Additionally, I believe that all children can learn and will learn when given the opportunity. When I completed my degree in English, I happily took on every challenge set before me as a teacher. Therefore, I have a plethora of experience to offer any student who needs extra assistance in both English (literature and writing) as well as literacy and ESL. Due to my diverse skills, I not only teach AP English IV, but I also teach the decoding strand of SRA's corrective reading pr

My students have always found me to be extremely enthusiastic, thoroughly prepared, and genuinely concerned about their progress and success. I am very patient and encouraging, and I will keep working with students until they truly understand the material. I have had great success with students of all ages including those with learning disabilities. I know I have made a difference in my students' lives. One student found me a year after I taught his class and told me, "I would not have gotten my GED if it weren't for you, Mr. Uscher." Rewards like that cannot be measured. I am a very experienced tutor. I have tutored math, reading, writing, history, ESL, and other subjects to students of all ages from elementary school through adult education. I am a specialist in SAT preparation (both math and verbal) with extensive experience helping many students score significant gai

I have always had an interest in English, writing, and Communications. I have tutored students in both English, reading, and writing. In my undergraduate program I earned a BA in English and spent time working as a writer and Sports Editor for my college newspaper, worked as an intern at a newspaper, and worked in Public Relations as Communications Manager for a nonprofit organization. I believe that any child can learn and that we all have various learning styles. We just have to find the style that is best for optimum learning. Some of us are visual learners and some are auditory learners, and many of us learn with a combination of styles. I believe that by working with students to finding their unique and individual learning style a tutor is the most effective.

When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their favorite subjects) to try to encourage them to speak freely with me about what they're thinking. Then, after personal rapport is established, I begin my academic approach to tutoring by finding out how they think based on their interests or common themes, and I try to connect the material to these things. Children have trouble learning, often because the addressed concepts don't relate to their lives. I strive to connect the material to them, demonstrate its influence on their interests, and allow them to greet the academic engagement as some sort of useful tool, not a

As soon as I reached high school, I became interested in mentoring those younger than me and this passion still carries me. With the guidance of my mother, who has been a teacher and tutor for over 20 years, I began to tutor elementary school children in Math, Science, Writing, and oral presentation skills. My mother, as the founder of Gillin Tutoring Services, trained me on how to tutor most effectively. As a graduate of Duke University, I have had education in a number of subjects including, Mathematics, English/Literature, Spanish, Science (particularly, Biology and Chemistry) as well as the arts. I love teaching children through unique and innovative methods, whether it be through songs in order to help with memorization or presenting the students with real life situations to navigate through. I am mainly hands on and very visual. I feel that these are ultimately the best ways to hel

I have done student teaching at the high school level in Math, specifically, Geometry and Trigonometry. I created innovative new ways to use the materials on hand to reawaken students' natural mathematical curiosity and to exemplify the concepts of the courses. I have done one semester of long term substitute work in which I taught underprivileged children Physics and Physical Science. I had to design the curriculum from the ground up because they had rotating substitutes before I took over. Beyond that, I have taught numerous and varied college labs and recitations in the UNC physics department, and I have tutored for those same classes. I have also recently started tutoring high school students in the area. My teaching style is a mixture of direct instruction and discovery based learning whose components depend on the student(s) at hand. I've been known to make generalized lesson

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Biology, Magna Cum Laude. As an undergrad, I also participated in community services to serve the surrounding area. I tutored students after school while assisting with facilitating parenting classes also in a special program. I also served as a Research Assistant for a Professor. I have learned extensive communication and research skills from writing research papers, mentoring notes for consumers, and various classes in psychology and counseling that require extensive writing skills. I have tutored students in mathematics, English, Psychology, Biology, and Algebra. My style of teaching will correlate with the learning style of the student. I love teaching and working with students. I develop a good rapport with the student, am patient, flexible, understanding, and empathetic to the challenges learning in today's soci

I believe my role as a teacher is to establish an environment that promotes the development of students to the maximum extent limited only by their talents and desires. A challenging aspect of this role is helping students identify their talents and encourage their desire for learning. Toward this end, I believe it is necessary to develop a relationship with each student which will allow me to serve in multiple roles: facilitator, adviser, task master, teacher, role model, and friend. As a current tutor for Kaplan, I am involved with teaching future dentists how to prepare for the Dental Admission Test (DAT). Teaching prospective dental school applicants how to master this standardized test involves teaching not only test taking strategies, but also the mastery of large volumes of information. The DAT tests knowledge in the following areas: biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, rea

As a student-athlete at UVA, I learned to balance academics and athletics and achieve excellence in both. I earned a BA in Mathematics and a M.Ed in Educational Psychology with a focus in educational research/statistics. Classroom teaching experiences in both high school and college as well as in small group instruction and 1-on-1 tutoring, have given me a very good grasp of math learning and teaching. Additionally, involvement in competitive sports, tutoring and academic advising after college, has enabled me to see the power of commitment and mental focus in the learning process on and off the field. To teach math, the teacher has to know math and be able to teach it to the students. All learners are capable of learning math. The challenge for the teacher is to connect well with the students and teach in a manner that is in synch with their learning styles. Understanding and striking

I feel very passionate about education and learning. I think the key to teaching is to engage students, and make content interesting and relevant to their lives. I truly believe that the ideal teaching situation is via one-on-one instruction, because I feel students understand the content better, they can work at their own pace, and they feel comfortable asking questions. I am dedicated to providing all students an equal education, and I am comfortable working with students from diverse social and economic backgrounds. I think education is the key to empowerment. For the past two years, I was the high school English teacher in a small, rural Alaskan village located on the Yukon River. This teaching position was very challenging--I had to teach several subjects, such as English, social studies, geography, art, keyboarding, drama, journalism, and digital photography.
