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

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, practice, practice! I also feel that art comes more easily when inspired. I like to utilize art books, magazines, and trips to galleries to observe different techniques and create ideas to for artwork. Additionally, an objective eye can make all the difference when creating art; having unbiased input or critique always helps with improvement and learning. 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 Hu

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.

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. My goal is to provide a constructive learning environment and have fun with the subject m

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.

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 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 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 take with the child depends on the answers to these questions. I feel it is important for the learner to understand that there is a reason for making the effort to learn each subject. In math, I like to assign the numbers and equations to subjects the learner likes, such as pizza, sports or music, for example. I also find it is beneficial to make references to the different careers one might use the knowledge learned in the child's classes. 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 hi

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 any filed working with young people. Also, I worked as a Substitute teacher and Paraprofessional Teacher for a special needs classroom over the course of a school year; which include the areas of reading, mathematics, science, and language arts. I received my Bachelor's of Science degree in Child and Adolescent Psychology with a minor in Sociology in May of 2009, and I am currently working on my Master's of Counseling. Lastly, I am employed (currently) as a Resident Assistant, where I get to oversee and mentor approximately 70 girl residents.

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 maximum reading success. I offer flexibility and much enthusiasm for each subject that I teach. I am a life long learner, as conveyed in countless ways to my students. I'm caring, kind, patient and understand my students' needs and abilities. I find it imperative to not only applaud my students' strengths but also to encourage the "weaker" skills that they possess. I have good rapport with students and their families as well. 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-tim

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

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 reading from a text. I am a patient and caring person who is dedicated to taking the time to make sure that your child receives the attention that he or she needs. 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.

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 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. 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.

Being an English major, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing and editing four years worth of literary and expository research papers. I have experience tutoring students from elementary to college levels in English and literature, music, visual arts, mathematics, social studies, and history. I pick up tutoring in new subjects quickly and easily. I love working with all age groups. I have three younger siblings that I have helped tutor through all levels of their educations.
