Young grandmother with open heart and open mind

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). Contact me at CarolinaLightWave@gmail.com to set up a meeting. With gratitude, Barbara

Over twenty years success in teaching, including homeschooling my own four children, has made me an exceptional tutor.

HELPING CHILDREN REACH THEIR POTENTIAL!

I've earned several awards for my work with dyslexic children including an award from the past governor of Michigan. I've also been honored by parent groups in the Dearborn Public Schools in Michigan. I've had several articles published on the topics of juvenile delinquency, learning differences, early recognition of learning differences and many others. I've been an adjunct professor at The University of Michigan, guest speaker at local and national conferences, and a teacher consultant for many years. My passion for helping children reach their potential is met through using the Orton-Gillingham Approach along with other multi-sensory approaches like The Wilson Program Project Read. I've been in the field of education for over 45 years and absolutely love what I do. To experience the thrill of success with my students is wonderful!
I use multi-sensory programs like Project R ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently in school to become a middle school language arts/social studies teacher. I am about to enter my junior year of college. I have volunteered in middle school classrooms. I have been doing one-on-one care with individuals with mental/physical disabilities for the past year and a half working for the Arc of NC. I have volunteered as a tutor at the Pullen Hope Center in Raleigh, tutoring adults trying to get their GED's.
I am all about positive feedback. I think it is extremely important to point out when people do things right, and not just when they do things wrong.

Learning is a life-long endevour.

I try to meet the needs of the prospective student, and teach them in a way that will be beneficial to them.
I have taught Spanish as well as tutored people in Spanish, music (guitar) and English composition. Also, I have some experience with teaching English as a Second Language. I taught beginning level Spanish to 8-12 graders for one year. I have tutored three different individuals in music (guitar) and love helping people to find out how to be creative in their pursuit of music. And, with English, I have tutored one individual with grammar and composition. I thoroughly enjoy writing, and have an eye for good writing.

Reading is one of my top subjects!

I am a very hands-on teacher. I try to help students by showing them how it is done and then letting them practice.
I have experience in all of the fields that are listed. Most of the skills I have acquired were either through learning them during my time at school or through doing personal research because they interested me. I have done some tutoring in the computer/i.t field as a side job. Chess has been one of my favorite things to learn. My experience with chess has been a regional tournament where I made it to the last-round of the semi-finals.

More About This Tutor...

I have wanted to work with kids all my life. I love the way that they learn and think, and how different it is from adults. I studied Biology at Warren Wilson College in hopes of becoming a high school biology teacher. While at college, I did over one hundred hours of service tutoring and mentoring high school and middle school students in Buncombe County. Since graduating in 2009, I decided to take a break from school, and figure out where I wanted to go in life. I have been working at a local after school for elementary aged kids. This experience has taught me a lot about working with younger children and patience.
I believe that a great educator is a great learner. I am always up for learning new things, so that I am able to teach someone else my new skill. I believe in a hands on approach to learning. The more that can be discovered by doing is much more beneficial than just re ... read more

After finishing my Bachelor of Arts in English, I decided to teach English as a Second Language in China. I enjoyed my time there but returned home after a year to be closer to my family. The bulk of my classroom experience comes from teaching high school English in Charlotte, North Carolina. I spent five years teaching at Dore Academy, and I learned a great deal about teaching and tutoring students with a wide range of abilities. I then decided to once again teach abroad. I briefly moved to Seattle, Washington to complete a graduate level certification in Teaching English as a Second Language. From Seattle I accepted a position to teach at a university in Oaxaca, Mexico. About a year ago I moved back to North Carolina to begin working on my M.A.ED. in school counseling. I am also teaching undergraduates in a counseling class that includes lessons on study skills and test taking.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that education should be a voyage of discovery for both the student and the teacher. All too often students become demotivated and demoralised, losing faith in their instincts and abilities. Through sensitive tutoring I aim to reawaken an enthusiasm for learning in my students - to tap into their natural curiosity and resourcefulness to enable them to take ownership of their education and meet their potential. I have a strong working knowledge of different learning styles and teaching theories and am careful to tailor lessons to learners' specific needs and aptitudes.
I have a First Class BA in English from Oxford University and a Masters in Film. After graduating I worked with an educational consultancy where I helped to create learning materials for numerous children and adults, many of whom were learning English as a second language or had dyslexia. This sparked my int ... read more
