Teacher of the Year has tutoring availability!

I am a certified English and ESL teacher with more than nine years of formal experience. I've taught students who range from five to sixty years old in a variety of settings including public schools, private schools, and community outreach programs. I was recently recognized as the Teacher of the Year for my school and district. Also, I've studied, taught, and given teacher trainings around the world. I am very passionate about what I teach and what I do, and I bring this energy to my tutoring sessions.
I tailor my teaching to the learning sales and needs of my students, but I personally like to make my lesions Nd sessions as realistic as possible. If the lesson's goals allow for it, I involve reading, writing, listening, and speaking in an authentic way. I also try to begin lessons with a formative assessment to gauge prior knowledge. This allows me to incorporate the right amo ... read more

I know what it takes to teach and learn a foreign language because I am fluent in French. I was inspired by watching the great teachers that I had in high school and college. I have taught English as a second language, so I have classroom experience to add to my general knowledge of the language and culture.
I believe in letting the child set the pace when it comes to private tutoring. I would listen to child to learn what truly interests them and inspires them. I would then use this is my lessons so they enjoy the learning process. Children enjoy learning anything when it is taught in the appropriate way. I learned this very quickly teaching English to French elementary age students.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is more than passing on information. It is a dynamic process of inspiring a love for learning and equipping students with the tools to learn successfully. It is important to provide students with structure, engaging activities and lessons, and opportunities to integrate and synthesize that which they are learning into 'real-life' experiences. Also, I know each student learns differently, thus I am prepared to vary my approach to meet the needs of each student. I am confident in each student's ability to learn and be successful, and I am committed to achieving those goals.
Successfully earning both my Bachelor's and my Master's, Magna cum Laude, from reputable universities only dimly begins to communicate my passion for learning and for teaching. Further, my experience has developed competencies in oral and written communication, social sciences and humanities, religio ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began teaching at the University of Florida (where I earned an MA) as a Teaching Assistant for large lecture courses. I did have my own students whom I interacted with in a more personal environment. I taught philosophy there. Before this, I earned my BA in English and Philosophy, so I have substantial experience with not only philosophy but also literature. In working with students over these four years and doing my own research, I have become very familiar with proper grammatical form and what makes writing good. In addition to being a Teaching Assistant, I was a philosophy tutor as well. More recently I taught English to students and adults in Madagascar with the Peace Corps. This has given me good experience teaching English as a second language. Thus, I am comfortable tutoring Philosophy, English, Writing, Reading and English as a second language.
I try to be as prepared as ... read more

As a tutor, I try to identify the learning strategies of my students and then build off of those. For example, if I notice that a student is a visual learner, then I will try to incorporate diagrams, models, and schematics that can assist the student in understanding the subject matter or solving the problem. If, on the other hand, a student learns best by reading, then I will provide step by step instructions of how to find answers to various problems, or provide guidance as to how to identify important elements from a text. In any event, I try to show students several different strategies for learning or for approaching a given problem and let them determine which one makes the best sense to them.
During my doctoral studies at UCSD, I began to tutor professionally as a way to earn extra income. It seemed like a logical choice for a part-time job as I had been helping friends ... read more

I evaluate each child during my first session to determine their learning style and their level of need. Once we establish that, I tailor a program of study designed to improve not only the current subject at hand but also to provide long term study habits they can take into their future learning experiences. I use various methods of oral, written and guided reading, memorization and visual learning to reach as many of the brain's centers of learning as possible to truly help the child retain the information long term.
I have a long history of tutoring experience along with substitute teaching at The Baylor School in Chattanooga from 2000 until 2008 and prior to that at various private homes for 2 years. I have a BA degree in Economics/International Studies/French from the University of TN – Chattanooga, a certificate in French from the Sorbonne in Paris and 23 hours in English fro ... read more

Though I am a student of Biotechnology, helping others in the field of mathematics has been of interest in that its a common “language” worldwide. Prior to completing my General Arts degree, I had aided two individuals in math, an adult and a high school student in college algebra; and recently aided a coworker this past year in the same subject. In addition, I had later acquired 70+ credit hours towards an Electrical Engineering Degree, which further honed my math skills into the range of college level calculus, trigonometry, differentials, and basic statistics. Furthermore, I have experience in working with the public for 10+ years in customer support/service environments.
All who wish to learn have but to ask for help. I believe anyone can learn anything they want and that no one deserves to be told otherwise. In tutoring math, the individual needs to have their homework pr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer to engage students as independent agents in their own learning experience. While I recognize the need to provide structure, I also like to allow students the space to more openly explore new concepts and ideas.
Most of my experience has been with secondary and primary school students. I have tutored in the subjects of math, writing, reading, and Biology.

As a Theater Arts Educator, I have worn many hats. It never ceases to amaze me that each lesson I prepare for my theater classes also includes a grammar, math, science and history lesson too! Theater works on building one's self-esteem. I feel that self-esteem is a crucial building block for all learning. In addition to theater, I have taught public speaking, speech and debate as well as reading. I have experience teaching students of all ages.
I feel I am a quick and good judge of what style teaching helps a student learn. I am very hands-on and very willing to adapt my teaching to meet the needs of the student. I am able to explain things with ease. It want to help students build their self-esteem as well as their education.

As a UCSD student, I was required to excel not only in my degree specified area, but in areas not related as well, such as math, science, and American studies. I graduated Summa cum laude from the university, and wrote an honors thesis in creative nonfiction which received highest honors. I am a member of Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. I have been an avid reader my whole life, and began tutoring younger students in reading and writing skills in high school. In college I spent one summer teaching at a summer science camp, and this summer I worked as an education intern for the Smithsonian, where I taught about the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. I was also a student teacher in a lower division creative writing class, where I was in charge of five students, and led group discussions about each student's short story.
My views on education have not changed all these years: I feel that hands o ... read more

As a graduate student I had the pleasure to both teach and tutor. I was a Teacher's Assistant for the Politics of the Policy Process for two semesters. As a TA, I led 20 students in section meetings, focusing on writing and communication strategies. Additionally, I tutored student athletes at Duke University for one year. I tutored students in numerous subject areas, including statistics, public policy, economics, basic writing, and political science. Finally, I have recently begun volunteer tutoring for 6th-8th graders in Durham.
My experiences as a tutor and instructor have given me some of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I believe that tutoring provides a unique opportunity for an instructor to help a student with not only the subject matter, but also with study strategies, priority setting, and building self confidence. I have tutored a wide range of students, ... read more
