Geography Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sevierville, TN

I was a city planner for 5+ years, and understand GIS programs, mapping, and general geography very well. I excelled at this subject while in graduate school, as well as in my earlier studies. I like to use the Socratic method, mainly by asking questions and challenging assumptions. In addition, I like to engage those I teach, challenging them to think about what they previously have not considered. I believe in building on successes, and offering constructive criticism, where appropriate. I have mentored various people since 2000, in all types of subjects, including math, science, social sciences, English, writing, literature, and other related subjects. My academic record is very strong, and I believe empowering those I work with every single time. The only pre-requisites are that you have to be willing to learn, and learn how to learn.

My style of teaching has a practical approach. I focus on what the student wants to get out of our time together and their goals. I have both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Accounting. After receiving my masters in 2005, I went on to work in public accounting for 5 years where I gained experience as an auditor working for a Big 4 CPA firm. Part of my job responsibilities were to develop and coach new staff while on the job. This requires teaching them how to apply their accounting knowledge learned school as well as teaching them accounting principals that were both new or forgotten. During that time is when I discovered that I loved to teach, and I have been tutoring privately ever since. My work experience also includes working as a tax consultant and a business analyst for two different private companies here in Knoxville. That said, I am confident that my background and experience

I teach on a pyramid style. It is necessary for a child to have a very well defined broad base of early skills to build upon. Any child having difficulty in 3rd grade on in reading or math must remediate the early skills to make progress towards the skills needed to advance to the next grade. I have used groupings/workshops in my classroom to both teach the lacking skills and to demonstrate to students why they are important and show how they support the grade skills being taught. Hands-on and interesting projects help to keep children interested in those basic skills. I did substitute work January-June 1992 September 1992 taught Kindergarden at New York City Schools. This proved too far from home, and the teaching market had a glut so found other work. also took graduate course work in mostly reading. In 2004 worked as reading remediation instructor for Mesa Public Schools in A

I like observing students and assessing their needs. Then finding fun and instructive materials to assist them with their learning. With ESL students it is very important to find their areas of weakness and fill in the gaps. Every student has different needs. They need to focus on these areas so they can succeed in the regular classroom. As a teacher with ten years of experience I have taught all ages of students K-12. Most of my experience is in ESL. I am certified Elementary K-6, ESL K-12, Social Studies, Geography, Sociology, American History, and World History all 6-12. For the Past three years I have been teaching ESL for Sevier County Schools. My assignment has given me experience at 5 schools in our district and with students at all age levels every day.

I have worked in management, human resources, and currently I am employed in the technology sector. I utilize math and statistical analysis on a daily basis. I have extensive grammatical skills due to report preperation,presntations, and training. I have presented presentations and training for groups up to 1500 persons and I am very well spoken and articulate.

In May of 2009, I graduated from the University of Memphis with a degree in Communications. Throughout my time as a student, I took honors level classes and learned what it meant to go the extra mile for tests and essays. During my senior year of high school I tutored for the ACT exam and took pride in getting results. More the anything, I feel I am skilled in the preparatory and research process and enjoy helping others achieve. My approach to teaching is to create a step-by-step process, providing the student with constructive feedback at each point. I understand that everyone learns differently and work to provide analogies and stories that make the topics relatable to students. My guiding principle when teaching is to be creative,enthusiastic, and organized in a way that rubs off on those that I teach. While working I strive to be patient and considerate while also being dedic

I have been working with chidlren and older students for a number of years: I started as a sport trainer and I continue as a language tutor. Every one has a different way of learning, to which has to correspond a certain way of teaching: this is extremely easy when teaching one-on-one. I believe in having fun while learning! My teaching and tutoring experience began prior to completing the BA in Foreign Languages: I had been teaching and tutoring English and Latin to a few Italian students. After graduating and moving to the USA, I started tutoring Latin and Italian to American students. I have always been drawn towards languages, and I find it easy to understand not only the different grammatical principles but also the different culture each language represents. Every time I am learning or teaching languages, I find myself to be enthusiast about explaining even the smallest grammar rul

Coming from a family with no prior college education, I made it a point to not only graduate from a four-year university but to work as hard as I could to be the best at what I do. I accomplished what I have set out to do by graduating with a degree at both institutes I attended with a GPA above 3.0. I have tutored my younger brother for several years in the four major subjects. I also worked in high school as a teaching aid for a 4th grade class at Jefferson Elementary School and actually taught math and science to the class. As part of the Jefferson County High Science Club, I volunteered for different workshops for kids that showed them the wonders of science. I like to accommodate to a child's personality and likes to help them to learn through distinct processes. When given the opportunity in the correct manner, children can learn most of what is put in front of them. By using examp

My live for the written word resulted in my acquiring a dual major in both Literature and Creative writing. I have entered the field of education so that I may share this passion with others. For the past eight years I have been working in a Montessori school, first in the early childhood classroom, and now in the elementary classroom, resulting in my having seen children run the gamut of primary education. I am an energetic educator and learner. The best way to teach a student is to provide them with the tools they need to discover the information for themselves. A teacher does no good if they simply feed the student the desired information. When we provide the student with the means of discovery, then what they find, they own. Having worked with children of varying ages, I am adept at problem solving and managing conflict, and I have an abundance of patience. Children are eager
