Each student has a different way of learning. This should be individualized to fit the needs of each student to maximize gains. I am a certified teacher, and I am eager to see students make gains in his or her educational endeavors. I tutor students after school during the school year, and I am flexible during the summer. I am passionate about students being able to complete assignments to the best of his or her ability with guidance and assistance from educational leaders. I also spend time completing volunteer activities, a mentor for students in different capacities, and complete training sessions for teachers for workshops.

I took both AP Language and Composition and AP Literature and Composition and was able to keep an A average in both courses. I believe a hands on approach to teaching a subject is the best way for a child to succeed. I believe that flashcards as well as games help younger children succeed in mastering a subject. Making a subject fun is key to helping a child tackle a tough subject. For older kids, practice tests are very helpful as well as flashcards. Encouragement and support is also an important part of mastery. I have been a volunteer tutor at a local elementary school during their aftercare program. I have also been a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Memphis to a first grader who had trouble with math (adding,subtracting, and multiplication). I have also helped fellow peers study for tests and the Reading and English sections of the ACT.

In both undergraduate and graduate school, I worked as a Writing/English tutor at the colleges. I tutored college, masters, and doctorate students in English, Writing, and Grammar. Instead of telling the student the correct answer, I prefer to help them understand why the answer is correct. With writing, there can be better ways to word a sentence or rearrange a paragraph and I try to help them figure this out on their own. That way, the next time they run into a similar issue, they remember how they improved their writing the previous time. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Writing in 2008 and am graduating this May (2012) with a Master's Degree in Journalism. I worked as a English, Writing, and Grammar Tutor for two years at both my college and graduate school. I have had experience tutoring and writing a variety of styles and genres including creative writing, non-fiction, editorials

My teaching style is a combination of visual, and kinesthetic. Most of the students I have worked with in the past who are learning disabled learn best by seeing and doing( hands-on ) It works best for these students if they are able to see the work being presented and then try it themselves. In reading, I tend to like to have the student read a small section of the paragraph and describe a few things that stuck out in their mind. ( Create a picture ) For younger students I may actually have them draw what they read. I have 30+ years of teaching experience. I have worked with a wide variety of students from elementary age to adult learners. I am certified in special education, gifted education, elementary education, and have a master's degree in educational psychology. I have helped adult learners and at-risk youth earn their GEDs. I have worked with autistic, SLD, and ID students as wel

I first discovered my love of teaching when I was in the Boy Scouts teaching younger scouts skills like building a fire or pitching a tent. In high school, I would tutor my classmates in English, a subject in which I have always excelled. I am most interested in studying history and geography, and I long to share what I have learned. I was a student for six months in Germany and the Czech Republic and can speak fluent German. I have experience teaching guitar lessons, and I am patient and understanding.

Today’s fast paced school curriculum overwhelms an alarming number of students, essentially hindering their progress as a whole by failing to make sure one concept is properly learned before the next is taught. But I make sure that they are comfortable with each and every problem before encouraging them to move on to the next. This way they retain essential information that will adequately prepare them for review and lessons to come. They will be grateful to see an improvement in their grades and you will be grateful to witness their positive outlook towards reading, mathematics, writing and study skills. I have helped a number of adults & children improve in math, reading, writing and study skills. Generally a client should meet for three hours a week for best results. Tutoring in most subject areas at all grade levels from elementary through college is available. I can work with t

I have been in educator for over 10 years. I started teaching because of my volunteer work at the Memphis Literacy Council. I love teaching because I believe that education is the key to our country's future in this global competitive marketplace. We must prepare our children for the challenges of tomorrow because we live in such a dynamic world. I believe that every child can learn regardless of his or her situation. When given enough time on task and effective, instruction all kids learn. This is what I do.

Since I have so much experience, I understand that my style must reflect the learning style of the student. I accommodate your child's needs.

I believe that happy people not only learn faster, but they also retain more. Far too much of our kids' lives are spent cooped up indoors. Therefore, I like to take an open-door approach to learning and like to schedule as many sessions as possible out of the house/library/etc. Each session is guaranteed to be filled with fun learning experiences that the pupil will be sure to remember. A session with a child that needs reading/spelling/comprehension, for instance, could very well be done at the zoo. I want my kids to learn, and have fun doing it! Our planet has so much to offer in the ways of educating our children! I never have to look far to find a teaching/learning opportunity! Currently a junior at the University of Memphis, I am seeking a Bachelor's degree in English. I love to write, and have always been the dictionary for people, so my concentration is in Creative Writing. I have
