Have fun learning and reach for excellence!

My personal style of learning is to learn by doing. I get my students involved in any process and get them to actually do the work so they learn it from experience, not just reading about it and taking for granted they know what is going on. Seeing the steps in action and seeing the final result brings a sense of accomplishment, which helps a student learn the correct way of doing whatever it is they are trying to learn.
I have lead many training sessions dealing with a multitude of different topics. I do my homework, and make sure I am fully prepared before any training session. I want to make sure I know the answers to any possible question before the questions are asked. I have tutored students one-on-one and in small groups from different levels of math to every aspect of English, grammar, and writing. I have taught many classes in painting and drawing, and I am a constan ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every student has the ability to learn. Teachers must take the time to discover the individual needs of students in order to help all students be successful. I strive to provide individualized instruction in all areas and for all children. I firmly believe in involving a child's parents in all aspects of their education. Parents are a child's first teachers!
I have been teaching students with special needs for the past 14 years. I have experience with preschool through 6th grade. I also worked at Sylvan Learning Center, where I worked with students through 12th grade. I especially enjoy working with students with Learning Disabilities, lower cognitive abilities, and children on the Autism Spectrum. I am trained in a reading program for children with Dyslexia. Contact me for more information.

As a graduate of Auburn University, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood. I have 10 years of teaching experience ranging from Kindergarten to 4th grade. Through the years, I have tutored children in various subjects, so I know what it takes to be a successful tutor.
I love to teach and to work with children. I understand that children learn differently so I teach children on an individual basis. I decide what each child needs to be successful in their learning and base my lesson plans on the individual child. I am a very patient and outgoing person therefore I will be patient with your child as they go through the learning process. I believe that all children can be successful if given the right circumstances. I believe in setting the child up to succeed. Being successful increases the child’s confidence in themselves therefore making them more successful in the ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since I have completed degrees in English, and Education with a Literacy specialization, I am more than qualified to teach/tutor students in English/LA and Reading. Additionally, I've passed the Praxis II Exam that the State of Alabama requires to "highly qualify" teachers. Moreover, I have spent four 1/2 years working directly with students in Special Education and ESL. I have extensive experience with inclusion, differentiated instruction, and accomodating lessons.
I believe all students can learn any material, but it’s up to teachers, parents and schools to work together to come up with the best educational plan to make sure that they do. Therefore, I prefer the collaborative and community language learning model. Since all students possess many different levels of strengths and weaknesses, I demonstrate several strategies, and allow them to choose the one that works best f ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

At Birmingham-Southern College, I was the News Editor for the college newspaper for two years. In addition, I have a minor in Journalism. I love to write and I feel that this is one of my strong points. I also tutor two young girls every Wednesday afternoon at Girls, Inc. of Central Alabama. I help them with everything from writing, to reading, to math and history. I am also working on my Masters Degree and will graduate with a Masters Degree in Counseling in 2011.
Before I start tuoring a child, I like to get know them first. I think it's important to build trust with a child before jumping in and telling them what to do. A child will be more likely to accept help from someone they know rather than a total stanger. I like to make learning fun.

For twenty-five years I successfully taught a comprehensive curriculum to elementary students (grades three through eighth). My areas of academic interest are: Language Arts, Mathematics and Social Studies. I had an opportunity to visit several countries I taught in social studies (i.e., West Africa (Ghana and Guinee)& South Africa (Botswana, Cape Town,Johannesburg and Soweto) ; China(Beijing,Xian, Shanghai, Shenzin and Hong Kong)and Europe(Czech Republic, Krakow Poland, Berlin, Germany and Liverpool).

My desire is to help students reach their full potential. I make an effort to communicate with students, parents, and teachers to identify a student's weaknesses and assess their style of learning. I strive to make learning fun and enjoyable by giving encouragement and praise. I struggled in some math classes as a child, so I also seek to serve as an example that with hard work, determination, and dedication, academic success be achieved. Lastly, I am patient, kind, and enjoy working with students of all ages.

I do not have a particular teaching style because I don't believe that a single method works for everyone. Therefore, I operate from an Occam's Razor perspective -- whatever is the simplest solution is the best. I believe I am very empathetic and perceptive, which would enable me to determine what works best for each student.
Admittedly, I have no direct (structured) teaching experience. However, I have nearly five years of experience in the journalism field, and during that time I've mentored a number of fledgling college and high school journalists. And while journalism and political science are my two specialties -- given that I have degrees in both -- I also have a fair amount of expertise in the tangential fields of English and History.

I feel very fulfilled when I help students to reach their academic goals. Even though I do not have my BA degree in Education, teaching comes naturally to me. I feel comfortable relating to all children and have taught students from various socioeconomic backgrounds. I am a nurturer who shows respect for each and every child. My teaching approach combines a relaxed and easy going attitude with an agreed upon commitment between the student and myself to strive to reach their educational goals. I find this method crucial for their learning.
My tutoring experience started 4 years ago, in November 2006, at a local Jewish Day School where I worked as the lead teacher for the after school program. I assisted students ages 6-9 with their homework. I also worked as a substitute teacher where I taught grades kindergarten through 8th students math, English and vocabulary.

A Little Bit About Me...

1) I like to help the student define our goal: "What is it we are trying to achieve?" 2) "How do we get there?" Here I am open to suggestions from the student as to how we achieve that goal. This gives me clues to his/her learning style. 3) I try to help the student break down each problem or project into small, managable steps. If practicable, I prefer the use of physical objects or sketches to visually drive home geometric concepts, or use them as examples of "engineering problems" met and conquered by someone before them. I am very patient and think each child is gifted in unique ways by our Creator. And seeing a child learn, to see things "click" is one of the greatest experiences in life. That is my goal and passion.
After High School, I taught Sunday School at the small church I attended. I was co-teacher with an older gentleman, and the students were 12-15 years old. ... read more
