Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Thomasville, GA

I place a high value on formal education and believe strongly in lifelong learning, for the betterment of the individual and, ultimately, for society. While raising three young children, I obtained my undergraduate degree in business administration. In later acquiring a law degree, I was introduced to the rigorous demands of such study and to the fascinating arena of reasoning and analytical thinking required by this discipline. I have tutored young children intermittenly over several years, with one stint of four years length as a Literacy Volunteer teaching English to children of war refugees. I enjoy teaching and observing my students' different learning styles. I respect each student's individual method of assimilation. I work hard to accommodate his or her particular needs. I delight in the dynamics of the classroom and strongly believe that I can make a difference in whether the s

Teaching has long been a passionate calling of mine. I am motivated to help students of all ages to succeed academically and to overcome learning obstacles. I am patient, and simply cannot be discouraged in my efforts to make any topic understandable and enjoyable. Math is my particular favorite. I love seeing confidence grow in students as they build their math skills and discover that problem-solving is fun! I believe that every learning setting, whether in a classroom or a tutoring session, should be a safe place that is free from fear of failure. It's important to me to establish a good rapport with my students, and I find this generally comes naturally because I truly care about their success. I have a B.S. in Computer Studies and have spent the last 19 years as a computer programmer. I have great tech skills, including the Microsoft Office applications. I am proficient in Mat

I taught public school for 4 years before getting a masters degree in Religious Education with a Concentration in Childhood Education. I wanted to complement my undergraduate Elementary Education degree. Therefore, I choose the childhood education concentration at seminary. Then I was a Assoicate Pastor for Children for over 13 years where I supervised paid workers and planned activities for a children's ministry at a local church. I had to maintain a budget for this ministry in the amount of $38,000. Over the course of all of these years, I have learned a vast array of skills. I love working with children of all ages. I really like elementary age children. I have a hands-on approach to education. I want kids to get their hands into activities so that they may retain things longer. Now I do realize that not every student is hands-on. That is the responsibility of a teacher or tu

A graduate of Florida State University, I initially started out teaching children and their parents about good eating habits at the Health Dept. I wanted to partake in the school system, so I began teaching as a Title 1 teacher. I was teaching small groups of individuals that needed some extra encouragement to thrive in the general education class. I loved teaching so much that it inspired me to become a Certified ESE teacher. Since my certification, I have enjoyed teaching students in Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Skills. It has been a great reward tutoring and teaching students that thought they never had a chance to succeed! My teaching style is very comforting, fun, and yields results. I know with nurture, time, patience, resources, and love ALL children can learn. I am an advocate of allowing children to try and work independently. I feel giving a child th

My teaching style is very positive and encouraging. Students need to feel safe to make mistakes and learn from them. Students' achievements should be recognized. Children learn through active participation with their environment. I plan activities that provide students with the experiences needed to build on their existing skills. These activities are geared toward giving children the opportunities for growth and to feel good about themselves while engaged in learning. I earned a master's degree in Early Childhood Education K-3 at Florida State University. I taught prekindergarten (ESE), kindergarten, second grade, and remedial reading for first through fifth grade. I volunteered as a reading tutor while working at the Department of Education. I have taken graduate courses in educational measurement and assessment. I also have professional experience as an exam developer for the

I have taught both children and adults private piano lessons. I taught history and other subjects for 2 1/2 years as a daily and long-term substitute teacher in secondary schools. For one year I directed a public library story-time program for preschool children. I worked two years as a middle school Library Media instructor. I wrote curriculum and taught computer literacy for four years in a prison GED program. My undergraduate and graduate degrees conferred honors. I enjoy writing, and I completed a short story correspondence course with Writer's Digest. A science fiction zine published one circa 1997. All learning starts with a question, both by teacher and student alike. My role is both as teacher (coach and guide) and student (questioner). I should employ a variety of questioning techniques to better understand strengths and weaknesses, then prescribe remedies tailored for ind

I tailor my teaching style to the student. Throughout the years I have recognized that each student has a different way of learning and I make it my goal to adapt to them, to try to reach them in a way that is most effective for the individual. I have a strong sense of academic excellence and try to instill the core values of diligence, focus, and perseverance on each student. I also try to make learning enjoyable by providing real world examples and reasons for why we need to learn what we are required to learn. Even though my educational background is in science and math, I place significant emphasis on the importance of having good English grammar, writing, and reading skills and being generally well-rounded academically. I own my own science consulting firm and like to dedicate a certain percentage of my time to education and public outreach projects including teaching, mentoring, an

A significant portion of my professional career has included working with youth in classroom settings, community-based programs, and juvenile detention centers. In addition, I traveled extensively throughout Florida as an Education and Training Coordinator for Service Learning projects. This exposed me to the unique challenges that teachers, school administrators, parents, and students face on a daily basis. As a researcher for gang programs, I developed great empathy for youth desiring to leave gang-related violence and pursue educational goals to improve their lives. During the past three years I have worked with students in small group settings and one-on-one. Specific areas of study have included English, writing, and assisting students with developing critical thinking skills. Last year I taught a six week summer course in English; the target audience was children of migrant

While at Flagler collage I was trained in working with students who struggle with reading as well as working with ESOL students. I interned in a kindergarten class during the fall of 2008 and during my internship I tutored 3 students who were struggling to read.I also worked closely with a student who was from Russia and received ESOL services at the school.

My mission as an educator is to provide all students in my care with the skills and learning strategies that will enable lifelong learning. I feel strongly that students should be involved in this learning process and it is my goal to direct this learning by teaching each one to be a critical thinker, a problem solver and an effective communicator. I also feel it is crucial to establish a trusting relationship with the student, the care-giver, teachers, etc. I believe every child has the ability to learn and the potential to succeed. Every child should be challenged and enabled to feel success. It is my goal to empower each child with skills and resources needed to achieve their academic goals and personal dreams. I strive to provide goal-oriented instruction to help any and all students master the given objective. I have worked hard to excel and earn a BS in Early Childhood Education

While earning my degree in English, I developed teaching and communication skills through both curricular and extra-curricular experiences. As an intended Secondary Education minor, I took many classes in education, including a middle and high school practicum. I also tutored students in grammar and composition, as well as foreign students in conversational English. I strongly considered teaching as a profession after graduation, but I wanted to earn my law degree first. While studying for the LSAT, I took an online course, mastering test-taking skills in all three parts: logic “games,” analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension. Graduating summa cum laude from the University of Florida, with extensive work in research, analysis, and writing, these skills came easy to me.
