Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Skyland, NC

Personal, humorous, and energetic. I tailor games and activities to each class and do not think teaching directly from a text inspires many to learn. Typical key elements of my courses include flexible lesson planning, personalized tests/quizzes, adding cultural content, and incorporating student ideas as much as possible. I have over 20 years of experience working as a university instructor and private teacher for students ages 11-50. Most of my experience has been in English as a Second Language programs for community colleges and research universities, including M.I.T. and Tufts University. For the past several years I have been assisting middle and high school students with Latin (I have studied over 11 years of that language) and have also tutored beginning German and English writing.

I am originally from Japan, have experiences in teaching English in Japan, which I loved, so as I relocated here I decided to look for an opportunity to teach Japanese. After graduating from high school in California, I went back to Japan to go to 4-year college. While I was in college, I tutored some kids for their English, and after I graduated from college, I worked at an English conversation school as an English teacher where I taught English to kids and adults. I had so much fun teaching them, I am here to fine an opportunity to teach again. If you are interested, please contact me. I would like to have a textbook to stick with, but depending on what you want to learn, I am pretty flexible when it comes to studying materials. I want to help you out for what you need/want you to learn!

On the professional end, I was an accountant (CFO type) for a very long time. My most recent "job," though, was publishing a natural health magazine (4 years). I walked away from it all late summer 2011 to work my spiritual path and providing patient and heart-centered tutoring to elementary children works well with this path. Children can feel that I enjoy them so they like me. I am a grandmother of two (2 and 6). I live in Black Mountain area. Contact me at CarolinaLightWave@gmail.com to set up a meeting.

I am a native German with conservatory training in theatre. Both my training and subsequent career in Europe were of the highest caliber. I studied acting in Berlin at the Ernst Busch Hochschule für Schauspielkunst, and while still in my third year, I was recruited by the Berliner Ensemble, where I worked successfully as a company member for two years. Thereafter I joined Berlin’s Schaubühne, where I worked for another two years, again at the highest level of European theatre. My approach to teaching is informal and fun, with an emphasis on conversation, including diction and pronunciation, colloquial speech and idioms, as well as public speaking and culture. What I have to offer would be especially useful for anyone with a working knowledge of German who wishes to improve his or her conversation skills, or who wishes to gain a deeper knowledge of the culture--in particular the key diffe

My mother is Japanese and I grew up in Japan so I am fluent in Japanese(oral and written). I moved to the United States seven years ago to finish high school and attend college. I graduated from Western Carolina University on May 5, 2012. I worked as student assistant for Professor Ono for a year and a half to learn how to teach Japanese to students. While I was a student assistant, I was responsible for grading homework assignments and was a tutor to students who needed additional help. I also made lesson plans and taught the classes on numerous occasions. Throughout my experience of teaching Japanese I realized that this is something I enjoy greatly.

I like to use examples and cater my lessons to what the student needs to work on (i.e. homework, test-prep). I also differentiate my style based on whether the student learns best through audio, visual, or kinesthetic means. I am a great listener and am able to identify where the student needs help and how to best bolster their academic ability and confidence. I am employed as a Math Tutor at a company in Asheville. Before this, I lived in Raleigh where I worked for several distinguished companies as a Math Tutor. I have taught SAT Math prep at Cary Academy during the last two summers and at Roxboro Community School where I worked primarily as a Spanish Teacher.

Motivation is the key to everything we do in life. I use this to drive my students to excel beyond what they think they are capable of accomplishing. I utilized experiential theory and real-world experiences to drive my education to make lessons relevant, fun and interesting. I utilize the constructionist learning theory where I establish where my students are with the given subject and attach new knowledge structures to support continue growth where they build their overall schema and level of understanding on a given topic. I utilize positive reinforcement and humor to keep them excited about the task at hand. I have my Pre-K through 8th grade elementary education credential from West Virginia, California and North Carolina. I have also taught High School classes and worked as a guest lecturer for college level courses. I have 10 years of experience as a teacher and I have my administr

Engaged style that is geared towards personalization to the student. Teaching method can range from following along in the book, or with working on problem areas (depending on needs). I enjoy not simply teaching how to do it, but the why and how it works. - Five year tutoring experience. - Tutored all ages, from basic arithmetic to Algebra 2. - Taught several math classes, but majority of experience with one on one tutoring. - Taught a variety of students with numerous math needs, helping achieve better test scores, easiest and faster homework, quicker arithmetic calculation, and helping math to not be such a daunting subject.
