I am an excellent communicator and teacher

I have over fourteen years of teaching experience in the classroom. I have also been a director of education at a Sylvan Learning Center located in Birmingham, Alabama. I have a diverse teaching background from public education, to the private sector as well as inner city. All of these experiences will foster over into a tutoring position. My experience in the career and working world is also a valuable asset to administer.

I have worked in an elementary public school since 1997. The majority of my experience has been in special education. I currently teach second grade. I hold a bachelor's degree and am able to teach any subject necessary in a general curriculum, although my specialty is working with children with disabilities.
I am patient and positive. I like to set goals for my students based on what they feel is important for them to learn and achieve.

I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a B.S. in environmental science and a concentration in sociology and anthropology. I have served as the editorial assistant for the Applied Environmental Education and Communications journal for the last year and a half. I have also worked as a research assistant in the West Office Chair of Excellence in Communications and Public Relations under Dr. David Sachsman. After earning an alternative teaching license this spring, I plan on teaching biology, ecology, and/or environmental science in Chattanooga. In addition, I am working to develop an education and service-based environmental group for children in this area.
I enjoy helping people of all ages understand the complex processes of our natural environment. I believe it is the role of teachers to lead their students to solutions, rather than just prov ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a writing center consultant, I was instructed not to spend much time proofreading student papers or reviewing small minutiae. Instead, my goal was to educate students about the fundamentals of writing papers, such as formulating a clear thesis and establishing a clear paragraph structure. To this end, I usually spoke with the students casually and allowed them to verbalize their thought process, offering suggestions when they struggled with a concept or answering questions about grammar rules. My goal was not to improve the student's paper specifically, but to improve the student as a writer.
The majority of my secondary education has been dominated by the manipulation of words and formulation of arguments. My studies during college, culminating in the achievement of a BA in English, have allowed me to hone my mastery of the English language. Additionally, my four semesters ... read more

I have earned my bachelors in Biology which makes me highly qualified to tutor in math and science. While I was in college I tutored students in 3rd-8th grade with math. I also received a Masters degree in Education which helped me learn different ways to teach subjects for higher achievement.
I love to help children understand a subject better. It is a great feeling to see a student get the idea after being helped. I believe that every student is capable of learning; it all depends on their learning style. In my masters program and while I have been teaching, I have learned many ways to get students engaged in the material they are learning. Some students learn better with one on one and some do better with group work. You just have to try different approaches until you see which one works best. Sometimes it just depends on what is being taught. If you show interest in the student ... read more

I received a BS degree from UTC and taught at DuPont Elementary for 8 years, taught for PC training organizations & then managed a training program at Chattanooga State Technical Community College where I wrote all manuals, taught all classes, & designed all testing. I also tutored for 2 years on a personal level with mostly elementary students in Math & English. I also did training for Erlanger Hospital & Memorial Hospital. I enjoy making a difference in the intellect of students. I have taught many PC software classes on MS Offioe, the internet and these are critical skills in this age also.
My style of teaching is to explain the how and why and then immediately have the student perform a task - hopefully on his own, but with assistance if needed. I then repeat that until a student will take on a challenge and do the tasks solely by himself. I love making a difference i ... read more

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe that the young and former generations are entitled to learn in order to participate in today's society. I am extremely patient, and I am willing to teach according to the child's process of learning. My goal and aspiration is to help and encourage the importance of education.
As a Covenant College graduate, I was eager to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I was able to graduate with a bachelor's degree in Community Development. Due to the different core classes required for the major, I was able to take different Economics classes, History classes, and Social science classes. During my four years at Covenant College I was able to tutor students that were taking Spanish as a foreign language. I also was able to tutor middle and high school students from the community.

The public educational system has provided me with multiple opportunities to expand my knowledge and understanding of the academic process and the challenges students meet. I have been a substitute teacher, para-professional, art teacher, after-school director, speech language aide, and vision aide throughout my early career. The love of children and education was the impetus for pursuing my Early Education Degree. During the last three years I have been in the upper elementary and middle school classroom.
I believe that the opportunity should be presented to every child to pursue an education through their unique learning style. Each child has a ability to gain knowledge and I enjoy the process of aiding that discovery. My goal in the classroom is to help children discover the joy of learning and the connections that make processing the information possible. It is my belief that c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my years as an undergraduate English major, I was drawn to the world of teaching and tutoring through two part-time positions, including one on-campus, with college-aged students, and one with elementary to high school-aged students. I loved seeing my students' pleasure at learning how to comprehend the words they read, to assimilate that information into an in-depth college essay, to finally grasp that one bit of knowledge that so alluded them. I taught students with learning and behavioral disabilities, and was good at my job (and loved it). During the last seven years, I have tutored students in writing, English literature, reading, reading comprehension, psychology, the arts, anthropology, and study skills. I have taught all subject areas to middle school students, grades 6-8, and taught English literature and writing to 9th and 11th graders.
I am a born teacher, and ... read more

I believe that students learn when, and only when, they are willing to make the choice to learn. Therefore, it is not only about providing different methods of retaining information or different ways of taking notes and reading text, but it is also about helping students see the value in their work and the power it has to make them better people and citizens. Students deserve respect, a challenge, encouragement and someone who can be a role model for them. I find that THIS is when students are finally able to live as global learners, not just textbook learners.

I have taught kindergarten for one year and pre-kindergarten for two years. As a kindergarten teacher my DIBELS scores were the highest at the mid year assessment compared to the other two kindergarten classes. As a pre-kindergarten teacher my students scored better in both IGDI's and Bracken testing then the other classroom.
A Chinese proverb states tell me and I'll forget, teach me and I'll remember, involve me and I'll learn. My goal is to involve students in their learning. In my classroom I have a variety of learning centers where students practice the skills that they have learned. Centers are designed for multiple learning levels and interests.

A Little Bit About Me...

Learning is the chance to discover the wonder and wisdom of the world. My aim is not simply to help people learn; I want to help people love to learn and love what they're learning about. If I can nurture a passion in their minds and spirits, they will continue to learn when we are no longer together. My curious mind grows my understanding to become deep and wide, making it easy for me to explain the same idea in a variety of ways. My personality is joyful, energetic, and encouraging.
The variety of my experience gives me a wonderfully personal approach to each student. I have taught Sunday School to all ages of elementary students and have also helped young children appreciate the wonder of learning as I taught them kindergarten basics. I have taught English as a foreign language to adults and children in both group and individual settings. I have also worked with a nonprof ... read more
