More About This Tutor...

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. Since the high school was so small, (30 students), much of my teaching was one-on-one instruction. I have strong English skills, as well as a minor in history and a diverse liberal arts undergraduate education. Currently I am working on my Masters of Education degree, through a distance education program.
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 unders ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my time at Duke I enjoyed rigorous pre-medical subjects like biology and chemistry, but my interests also include English and psychology. I graduated cum laude in May 2009 with B.A. degrees in Pre-Med and English/History/Psychology. More importantly, I have tutored biology, writing/grammatical skills, English, psychology, and chemistry to a wide range of students—from college to elementary aged. I hope to put my 4 years of tutoring experience to work for you!
I enjoy being with people! I envision our discussions as part of an exciting collaboration to capitalize upon your strengths and learn in the most effective, efficient, and fun way. We will learn collaboratively to insure you understand what WE have talked about before I leave. I will break down abstract concepts into simple examples and respond to your feedback immediately in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere.

After graduating from Purdue University I wanted to challenge what I had learned and how I would apply that in my own classroom. I was driven to find myself as an educator and a professional. I thought a great place for a small town Indiana girl to do that would be in New York City. I found a job in Queens and never looked back. Teaching is my passion and it shows in my lessons and dedication to all of my students learning. I have been a teacher for five years now. In all five of those years I have worked for after school programs in both New York and North Carolina. I have taught test preparation classes and intervention classes. I have learned to design individual lessons that will allow each student to reach their highest potential.
I believe that creating a warm learning environment and a good relationship with a student is the first step to successful learning. When a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began 'teaching' as the head wakeboarding instructor at Coble Ski School in Lillington, NC, when I was a junior in high school. Shortly thereafter I took a position working at a beach resort in Pensacola, FL, where I spent an entire summer instructing surfing, kayaking and sailing. At Duke I tutored during each of my four years, either biweekly at a local Durham elementary school or at the Emily K Family Life Center. It is there where I tutored once weekly as a senior, up until I graduated in May. I have tutored in all subjects and all ages up through 22.
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 fav ... read more

First and foremost, I love working with students. I believe all students have an ability to learn once you find the way to connect with them. I think the key is in finding that particular connection because each student is gifted in his or her own special way. All people learn differently, and I approach teaching with this understanding and appreciation of the differences in all students and their backgrounds. I think students benefit from a sort of structured guidance that sets them on the right path to learning the material but gives them the room and freedom to feel a sense of empowerment through their own discovery of the embedded lessons. I believe this sense of empowerment and the building of self-esteem through successful learning is a key factor in helping students reach their full potential academically and in life.
In my educational and professional life, I have focused o ... read more

With a bachelor degree in Child development and minor in psychology. I have learned a great deal about children and how they learn. In addition, to studying the field I have had over 6 years of experience working with the educational needs of children. I tutor students K-8 in math, reading, social studies, and science.
I have a deep passion for tutoring. Education in my opinion is an opportunity for children to learn problem solving skills that are necessary for everyday life. I have a strong belief in self discovery and I think that every student should be given the opportunity to discover things for his/her self. Teachers and tutors are there for guidance through the process. As an experience tutor I will bring a positive attitude to your company. Children pick up on the attitudes of the adults around them and its important as a role model for them to see that you enjoy ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For the last 3 years I have worked as a Full time teacher for Brevard and Port St. Lucie counties. I have taught all subjects in including reading, math, science and social studies. My first year I taught Middle school reading which included one advanced class , three on level classes and one below grade level class using a program called Read 180. Before I was a teacher I tutored peers in school and elementary students. I have a BA in Psychology an AAS in Business. I have many certification include Prk-3, K-6, middle grade social science and Health k-12.
I believe all children can do well at school if they are taught correctly. Every child learns differently and it is the job of the teacher to find the style that works for the student. Some students use verbal cues to learn while others visual, hands on or a variety of other approaches. The better we teach the children today the b ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my college career, I worked in lower income elementary schools to provide students an extra opportunity to heighten their reading skills through direct instruction. Through this experience I have gained new insight into teaching reading. I understand the importance of using small groups and one-on-one instruction. I have also had the chance to use Success for All, a different type of reading instruction. It is also used in a small group setting, but is very interactive using letters cards, puppets, videos, and chants.
I love working with children of all levels. I firmly believe all children can learn if given the proper opportunity. I am a very hands on teacher, giving all students an opportunity to really connect with the concepts they are learning. I do focus on incorporating the different styles of learning because I understand all students learn differently. During lesso ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a published writer, experienced editor, children's camp counselor and mom, I welcome the opportunity to -- once again -- share my skills. After being sought out as a trusted source for my expertise by professional copywriters as well as family and friends, I look forward to helping students of all ages. When not writing or editing, I am also a classically trained pianist. I've played for hundreds of shows, singers and dancers, including camps, schools, and the North Carolina Theatre.
I take pride in my own writing style as well as my patience and a sense of humor. All enable me to empathize and better understand the needs of the individual seeking my help.
