Sculpting Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Startex, SC

Patience and understanding are the keys to success! All students must feel important and that the instructor is sincerely interested in them. Hands-on activities are stressed in my every day teaching--flash cards, games, puzzles, internet activities, and other manipulatives to get the students involved are critical! A creative environment with many different types of activities lends itself to positive reinforcement. I am currently employed as an ESL Instructor (Adult Education) with focus in reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. This instruction emphasizes hands-on activities for success in vocabulary, grammar, dictation, and Internet. I also have workplace experience involving Work Core curriculum as well as Palmetto Youth Connections. These both included resume writing, career assessments, role play, and life skills with emphasis in training youth for workplace readiness.

I love helping children improve academically. All children can realize success if given the opportunity and right tools. Realizing that all children learn differently, I employ a variety of teaching styles to help each child understand in his or her own way. I believe that all students deserve individual attention from a caring educator invested in his or her success, a belief that I encompass in my teaching. I have 4 years of tutoring experience in a variety of subjects including reading, writing, math, science, and study skills. I have experience working with students of diverse ages and backgrounds, and enjoy helping these students excel in their education. I graduated from an Ivy League school with a BA in government with a GPA of over 3.8.

Art is my passion! In 2008 I obtained a degree in graphic communications at Clemson. My major required creativity to design certain types of print; such as labels, books, t-shirts, and brochures. I also took photography and art history. Although these classes required artistic talent, my true art education began in high school. I attended the SC Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities in Greenville for two years. There, I took classes in painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, jewelry, photography, and art history. Since then, I continue to paint, draw, and make jewelry. I have taught friends and family the basics of painting and jewelry-making in the past few years and really enjoy teaching my passion to others. As a hands-on learner, I really believe in active, “learn by doing” teaching. When it comes to a subject like art, there is no better way than to practice

I enjoy working with all ages. Having a BS in Elementary Education has taught me that all students are different, and need individualized instruction to help them succeed. I believe that every student succeed that is given the appropriate educational experience. My goal is to make a difference in each students life by giving them the tools to be successful on their own. I recently graduated from the University of Minnesota, where I earned my BS in Elementary Education. During my education, I had the opportunity to work with many different backgrounds, and in different school subjects. I have a strong understanding in science and math. I currently hold a teaching certification for Early Childhood, Elementary, and Middle School Science, for both Minnesota and South Carolina. Currently, I am substituting in the Greenville County Schools.

As a graduate of a prestigious University, I was challenged to get into the competitive program and motivated to earn a bachelors degree in the field of Graphic Design. I have always had a passion for art and literature. I have always excelled at writing and pushed myself to obtain a Minor in English. This greatly improved my grammatical skills, vocabulary, and time management skills. During the last seven years I have tutored students and peers in English. I have plans to attend college to obtain a MAT in the future in the hopes to become an English or History teacher. I love teaching and am passionate about literature and art. I believe that all children have the ability to learn, and it's a teacher's responsibility to engage each student in the subject matter. I am patient, organized, and caring.

I feel that I am very much a hands-on learner, but I also enjoy engaging the minds of those that I educate. I enjoy researching new and more relevant ways to teach the applicable generation under my watch. Also, I feel that learning occurs outside of the classroom/main learning environment, and that as a mentor/teacher, I am able to pass on various types of lessons. My current place of study models this truth for me; by opening up their lives to their students. This shows them that life is a series of lessons; one that must be taken just as seriously. When engaged in a teaching opportunity, I attempt to be pleasant, passionate, and humorous. Above all, I desire those listening to enjoy the privilege it is to learn. I've always known that I wanted to work with children and adolescents. Prior to college, I was chosen to enroll in a course that helps those desiring to work in education or a

Most of my teaching experience has been with the Detroit Board of Education in the area of art and humanities which includes history and english. I am certified and capable of teaching any subject in elementary and jr.high school. I am gifted and talented in art and communictions at the high school level. I am able to tudor in geometry at the high school level and all math classes before advanced trigonometry. I have advanced abilities in the area of commmuniication and reading. I am direct, concise, technical and communicative in my teaching style. I desire a two-way communicative approach, allowing the student his/her input. First of all with tudoring, the tudor must know where the students weaknesses are and then develop an individual program to stream-fit the students needs for educational development and personal progress.

I love working with all age groups. I have three younger siblings that I have helped tutor through all levels of their educations. I have also tutored on a college level while in attendance at Presbyterian College. I am very patient, easy-going, and considerate. I emphasize the personal nature of the teacher-learner relationship. I teach by asking questions, exploring options with learners, and focusing on learner responsibility, independence, and initiative. I like to push my students to their fullest potential and encourage them to take unique approaches to their studies. As a liberal arts college graduate, I was educated in multiple subjects, with a focus on the importance of integrating curriculum. I have earned two bachelor degrees, one in Visual Arts and the other in English with Academic Honors. Being an English major, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing and

I love working with children as well as adults. I am very patient and understand the difficulties of school work. Not all children learn from the same style of teaching or at the same rate, and I believe that a dedicated teacher can make all the difference in a child's education. Because each child is different, I can modify my approach to fit the needs of the child in a fun, productive manner. Having graduated from Appalachian State University in 2009 with a BSc. in Biology/Ecology, as well as an internship at the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, I've returned back to Asheville to find employment. I have had experience working with children and teenagers as a senior counselor at Cedars Camps for over 3 years as well a counselor for children at The Florida Aquarium.

I am a mother of 3 children who are all very successful students. My eldest will graduate a semester early from college this month. My middle child is a junior in college and my youngest child is a senior in high school who will be entering college next fall. I speak of my children because I have helped them whenever they have had problems with their studies. When my older two were in elementary school, I was a coach for their Odyssey of the Mind teams. I pride myself on my understanding of grammar and am very good with math as well. I tutored elementary school students as a part-time job in college and later tutored students in my son's class. I understand that any child can run into problems with schoolwork. I try to find out why the child is having a problem before trying to help them. Did he miss something and fall behind? Is she simply bored with the subject? The approach I t

The last six years I have taught using a most effective multi-sensory method of instruction for children with language-based differences, both as a full-time teacher and a part-time tutor. I possess excellent communication, computer, organizational, and teaching skills. I’ve taught in a variety of situations from elementary to high school levels in both private and public school settings. I have tutored in an after-school reading clinic, as well as in home settings. I've held social work positions working with children considered “at risk,” educationally and/or behaviorally. The visual-auditory-kinesthetic or VAK method of instruction is a hands-on, child-involved method that reaches students with all types of learning needs. It is my primary teaching strategy utilized. I find it important to match reading material,(utilizing both student ability and interest levels,)to promote max

I love working with children and students of all ages. I was a volunteer at Shriners Childrens Hospital for many years in the recreational therapy department. I was a "class teacher" at a friend's daycare part time, and I held a summer job as a lifeguard and swim instructor for many years. I find that when teaching something new or difficult, it is best to find a way it relates to each individual. Once you discover this, you can make it fun and relavent for them. As a graduate of a Health Science program at a competitive public university, Clemson University, I showed an understanding of many science disciplines. In the course of earning my BS in Health Sciences with a Concentration in Pre-Professional Health Studies, I became well versed in biology as well as chemistry. I have also demonstrated a passion for education as I wish to continue my own education in a masters program. I attend

Studying art has made me a keen observer of both the the human condition and the world that surrounds us. There is a complexity in this experience that involves aesthetic decision making, technical applications of craft and an underlying philosophy that serves to communicate my ideas. Much of my knowledge comes from hands on learning and through apprenticeships which laid the foundation for for my later academic degrees (BFA Film making, MFA Sculpture, MA Art Education). Having a clear set of expectations for students establishes a good learning environment. When a student has a goal to strive towards, borders are established and the spontaneity of my teaching style serves to keep my lessons lively. From my experience as an apprentice and from my tendency towards the hand made, I try to use physical examples as I teach in an effort to help a student retain information. Through experien

Since I am an artist, I naturally try to teach in a way that honors intuitive ways of learning. I believe that students can often sense the correct way to do a math or writing problem and should be encouraged to trust their own intelligence. Everyone has his/her own way to get at a particular problem. I think the key to understanding many learning difficulties is respecting the child's own processes. I elected to homeschool my three children who are now teenagers; thus I have many years of one-on-one teaching experience. I feel that some children need to be away from the stresses sometimes experienced at school in order to discover their academic gifts. An individual tutor has the luxury to get to know the student, see thier potential, and cheer them on in a way that a classroom teacher may not have the time to do. In our homeschool we have used a variety of curriculums which have mo

I studied Art History at Florida State University, which required a number of essay and extensive seminar classes, which taught me different ways to complete 10-20 page papers. I have worked teaching children in many different environments, in a preschool, Boys and Girls club, and at their homes. I have worked with children all ages from one to fifteen, with language and basic math skills. I strongly believe in allowing the student to learn through their own will and with their own techniques, I try to just be the vessel that allows them to get to this point. I have worked in Montessori type schools where learning is a self-discovery and a journey. I try to find a way to make the subject interesting in a specific way for the student to allow them to want to learn, and getting excited about succeeding.
