My comments on tutoring Psychology : I took Psychology at an advanced placement level and maintained an A average throughout the course.

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.

I have discovered that every students is capable of achieving greatness if someone will take the time and effort to learn their learning style. I pride myself in being able to break things down to the most basic levels if necessary in order to reach a student. Often you have to know a child's personality, background, and home life in order to understand what he or she relates to. I don't believe in teaching a subject, I believe in teaching a student. I also do not believe in giving up. If the first method doesn't work then we will continue to try until something clicks and that child grasps the material and excels at it.
I have a BA in History/English from the University of Mississippi. I have been a teacher for the past year in Tate County Mississippi. This experience has allowed me to develop a teaching style to reach all types of learners. I have also been a tutor in English ... read more

After graduating from Vanderbilt University I taught 5th grade for 2 years while working on my Master's at TSU. I then moved to the Knoxville area and taught K until my son was born in 2000. We then moved to Wisconsin where I taught in various after school programs until my 2 children were old enough for preschool. I then went back part time and taught 4 K until my 3rd child was born in 2005. Throughout this entire time I tutored various children ages 8 - 15 years if age.
My teaching style can best be described as varied! I believe that children learn in numerous ways, so as an educator it is my responsibility to provide multiple experiences - visual, oral, tactile, etc. A person walking by my classroom would see children smiling, working in groups, accomplishing projects, and would hear noise.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am certified to teach in both California and Texas in a K-8th grdae classroom. In California I taught in a self contained 5th grade classroom. In Texas I taught 7th grade math. I also hold a supplementary credential in California for Business.
I am a strong believer in teaching a student how to learn. By that I mean, students not only need to know a specific subject matter but also how to aquire and use knowledge. My background is mostly in math and it is what I enjoy teaching the most. I like to use manipulatives to teach. I think students learn better if they have a "hands-on" approach.

More About This Tutor...

I have been tutoring and teaching for many years now. I started out on a small-scale in high school, without any experience, doing community service hours tutoring children at the TN Baptist Home. While I was studying for my undergraduate degree, I did scholarship hours doing private tutoring in English for International Students. I had so much fun I decided to get my Master's in English so that I could become a teacher. While in graduate school I came to know a local community center where I have been teaching now for quite a few years. Between Grad. school and now, I have taught ESL classes for various schools, centers, and companies as well as tutored in after-school programs in Language Arts and math. I have even tutored my own co-workers in pre-algebra in preparation for nursing certification tests. My speciality in tutoring/teaching has been English but I've also enjoyed tut ... read more

My passion is teaching, encouraging, and motivating students. I believe that all students have the potential to succeed in life and reach their dreams and goals. I feel that education is the key to success. I am aware that not all students learn the exact same way.

At present, I have been teaching basic reading, writing, and math in both private and public school sectors throughout the State of Tennessee since the Fall of 2006. My first formal experience was as an undergraduate Reading and Development coach for recent high school graduates entering junior college. This position consisted of leading two one-hour recitation sessions per week for two groups of 'high needs' students. During these recitations, I answered questions about the material and gave weekly quizzes that I wrote and graded. As a Coach/Tutorer, I have had full responsibility for lecturing, writing and grading midterm exams, and assigning final grades. These teaching experiences as an informal educator, teaching assistant, and a preceptor, honed my skills as an educator and a lecturer. I am confident that I will be able to teach students at all academic levels in various areas of s ... read more

I have extensive experience in human development and learning. I understand as an educator developmentally appropriate practice must be used to ensure success of a student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas in 1980 with a BA in psychology. Hoping to go further with those studies, I took the GRA exam and planned to begin the Master's Degree program that fall. However, I was married when I was in college and by graduation, I found out I was expecting our first baby in the coming fall, so I laid those plans aside to be a stay-at-home mom , and once she was ready for kindergarten, I had researched all the school/education options thoroughly and decided with my husband that we should homeschool. Since then we have had 7 more children, with the last being born in 2000, and have homeschooled all 8 of them the whole time they have been school age. The oldest two are now graduated from college with Master's Degrees and one is a college speech/communications/drama professor and the head of the college drama department as well. The third oldes ... read more
