More About This Tutor...

I have a flexible teaching style. I like to suggest several methods of practice and stick with the style the student identifies best with.
I am currently pursuing my Associates Degree in Journalism. I have had experience interviewing people face-to-face, via email, and over the telephone. I have two boys, age 10 & 7, and have had plenty of experience helping them with homework and studying. Both children have maintained A averages throughout their time in school.

Possession is 9/10 of the law.. Description is 9/10 of saw.

I have been writing for my whole life, and have a love of the art that is description. Since Mich of humanity's understanding is based on metaphor, description and its subtleties is a key part of any writing process, be it creative or instructional.My favorite form of writing is creative, however I also enjoy writing essays and other pieces based on fact. No matter what form of writing you endeavor to do, getting your point across through description is paramount. I have placed and won poetry contests, and have written many essays of undergraduate and graduate levels.

I have spent most of my life in an academic environment. I thrive on success- not only my own, but also the success of others around me. I became a substitute teacher in order to gain experience as a classroom leader. Tutoring is a necessary duty of an educator. I believe a one on one environment is conducive to learning and retaining information; being able to receive direct feedback from an educator is one of the most valuable assets to a young learner.

As a teacher I am proactive and progressive, while also being supportive and respectful within all educational environments. I understand that everyone is unique and everyone has their individual learning styles, therefore, I believe in facilitating student success through helping them find their individual learning strengths. I create curriculum and activities that are relatable and adaptable to a students interests and needs. I urge my students to become learners for life and I facilitate the skills to do so through active, creative, and engaging lessons.

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience is one that has taken me many different places to meet many diffrent people. I have always had a gift of helping others and conveying to them my knowledge. I obtained my BA in English Communication from Talladega College and also i have a minor in History. I have had a great deal of expereince in writng papers, essays, articles ,and reports. During my time in college, I also tutored Spanish speaking students in the usuage of the English language.
I would say my teaching style is more relaxed. I believe this helps one see students weaknesses and strengths better. It also allows one to compare the overall effect of teaching for each student. When I see a student falling behind then thats when I take action and try top get them where they should be in that area.

A teacher must care about people. It is not enough to have the knowledge of the material. You must be very aware of body language and read the group to determine if you need to restate the concept. A good teacher will ask a question and will not answer until a group discussion occurs. A good teacher ensures the group feels comfortable to think outside the box withou fear of embarrassment. Use of several medias in addition to course material is key to keep the attention of the group. However, again, none of this is effective if you do not have a genuine desire to see the knowledge you have of the material transferred to the individuals receiving the message.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy helping children discover new areas, encouraging them to move way from the trite and trivial to new and daring concepts in their research. Often a trivial fact that they never knew will open the doors to opportunities they never envisioned. My son has many interests, and I have always encouraged him to explore them beyond the basics - he can now engage in some amazing discussions with my father, a former Army Ranger, about events in Vietnam that I know were never taught in my history classes. I say that because that is what I believe is my goal in teaching - let the child explore on their own, but be their to catch them when they fall. My duty is to be their guide on the journey; theirs is to show me the uncharted path.

A Little Bit About Me...

For years, my passion has been “to gladly learn and gladly teach.” Since graduating from law school, I coached Cumberland’s National Arbitration team to two consecutive top 20 placements, taught “Criminal Evidence” to Miles College undergrads, and now will being teaching “Research and Writing” at the Birmingham School of Law. I have also taught karate and coached girl’s junior Olympic volleyball, so I’m passionate and energetic, as well.
My teaching style has to do primarily with desire; that is, if you want it and work hard, you can achieve your goals. One cannot teach or coach “heart” or discipline – that is all I require of my students -- the desire to learn, achieve, get better at what it is they are doing. I will work diligently to understand what is blocking that road to success, teach tips, tactics, and shortcuts to understanding theory, and support a love of the subject ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every student has the potential to succeed in the area of learning new knowledge. Therefore I like to use a diagnosis method to find out the best method to reach the student. The most important facet is to build a rapport with the learner. This method has served me and the students I have worked with well through the years.
I have many years of teaching specialised reading to special needs students. I have experience in individual plans, diagnosing reading difficulties, task anaylsis in all areas of education. I have taught both general and special education, as well as youth at risk. I have a proven record of success

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working, teaching, and mentoring children. I have learned to adjust to the different learning styles of children, which makes it easier for the child to feel more comfortable with learning. In order to work with children there has to be a great amount of patience and concern. I have learned patience through working with children from all walks of life and I have come to appreciate each child's story. I belive that reaching out to those in need will not only help someone else to meet their full potential but for the teacher also. I believe in making a difference in other's life because others have helped shaped me into who I am today.
As a recent graduate, I have learned the importance of education. I have earned a Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology and minor in Chemistry. Not only do I contain a strong understanding in those subjects but took several classes in oth ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy the power of teaching and I work well with all types of learners. I am motivated by the mistakes I made because there wasn't anyone to direct me and mentor my decisions. I believe all people have greatness inside of them and I would love to strive forward in helping students decide their greatness. I would love to assist in helping others learn and not make the same mistakes I made.
While attending the University of Mississippi I worked three jobs and finished with a BS in Jouralism. This experience has greatly helped me with my writing and my understanding of words. I have learned how to structure ideas to form a balanced essay and other writing assignments.During the last two years I have worked hard on understanding the principles of writing and different techniques. This has allowed me to finish my first novel and I know look to publish it later this year.

More About This Tutor...

I have tutored students in math and science (mainly math) for over 13 years. I have helped students in various levels of mathematics - basic math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus. After working with me on a consistent basis (2/3 days/week) many of the students have received honors in their math courses, including "Most Improved" and "Highest Average". I am also proud to say that a couple of students have actually decided to pursue careers that require a good understanding of math - i.e. engineering, architecture.
I enjoy working with students of all ages, although most of my experience has been with middle school age and older. I use a couple of different techniques to help students understand math, including using visual aides, problem solving techniques, role reversal (where they explain a lesson to me), blackboard/whiteboard work, and games. I believe it's ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began tutoring when I was a Jr. in high school. I tutored a variety of subjects for grades 5 through 8 during my last two years of high school. During my freshman year of college I tutored a classmate in English Composition I. More recently I tutored a college freshman in Algebra and some of my peers for continuing education credits in Algebra. I have a total of 3 years tutoring experience and an additional 2 years experience from home schooling my daughter for 2nd and 3rd grade.
I try to find out the learning style of the person I am teaching and use that as my primary teaching style. Some people learn better by hearing, some by reading or seeing and some by doing. I think focusing on the style that the person prefers to learn and then backing it up with the other styles to reinforce what they have learned is the best way for the student to retain the information. I think ... read more
