Education is enlightening, enjoyable, and energizing!

I returned to school at the age of 47 to get my degree in history. My experience consists of tutoring from 1 - 60 students (in the same hour), teaching at Greenville Technical College, and creating my own tutoring service. I deeply enjoy all kinds of history and have a passion for teaching others. From my very first job (selling papers at the age of 11), I have used teaching as the medium for interacting with people.
I prefer interactive teaching, including audio, visual, and verbal.

Education, teaching in particular, gives individuals the opportunity to give back what they have received. It is communication on a broader level than just simply putting forth information to whomever chooses to accept it. I started my career in education before I set foot on a college campus, through a peer-tutoring program in my high school. This experience allowed me to work with severely disabled peers learning functional skills for independence. Since then I have worked as an aide in emotional/behavior and multiple-disability middle school classrooms, as well as LD-resource, ED self contained and SC occupational diploma program. In addition I have earned a degree of distinction with the National Forensic League, been name a scholar-athlete in South Carolina and a host of other accolades in scholarship. I have experienced both urban and suburban school settings and have had inc ... read more

I believe all students can learn. I am a very patient and easy going teacher. I use humor to break the tention when the stress gets to high for students. I do however set very high expectations for my students. But they always seem to achieve the goals that have been set. I know they can work to or serpass their potential. Teaching students is the key to change in the world because we can only change through being educated. So I work hard for my students and expect the same in return.

I set high expectations for my students, and I set high expectations for myself. My strongest assets are my patience and ability to convey difficult subject matter to variant learning styles. I evaluate each student as a unique learner and measure success through achievement of desired outcomes. My students are successful because I prepare efficiently, deliver instruction professionally, and I believe in their ability to achieve their personal goals. I use positive reinforcement to propel the learning process. When students reach their goals, I have succeeded.

More About This Tutor...

What I have discovered about myself is that I learn differently from other people. I am the kind of person who prefers to set aside that assembly instruction manual and put together that Christmas toy by laying out the pieces in an orderly fashion. There is so much pleasure in problem solving. I learn by asking myself questions. I have little patience for mundane drills and memorization if they can be avoided. Each child is different. It is meaningless to say that a child is intelligent. There are many kinds of intelligences. Some children are more intelligent in memorization. Others are intelligent in solving problems. It is best to discover the child's strengths and weaknesses and adapt a program to each and every child.
I love learning and the precision arts such as mathematics. This has driven me to begin in a computer career. I spent almost two decades applying ... read more

My teaching style is the same as my parenting style. Establishing high expectations and an environment where students are provided the academic tools they need, as well as care and concern, have been the keys to my success. I have learned that all children strive to please their parents, and their teachers when they know that the teacher is invested in their success. I also seek to instill an "I can do it" attitude in my students because many have struggled and developed a negative attitude about academics. The student and I work together as a team. When one succeeds, so does the other. I include parents in each success so that the student is supported across all settings.
Throughout my years of teaching I have taught students with a broad range of abilities and needs. At the middle school level I have provided instruction in math, English, science and social studies. In high sc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have had 7 years of life experience teaching both of my daughters and their friends about the world around them. I teach them about the basics of geology and life science including plant life. English and spelling. Also I teach them about the basics of freehand drawing. We work on line spacing and using geometric designs in their drawing. And using negative space in their drawings.
I believe that involving the student with as much hands on learning as possible, helps them in being able to relate with and withold what they are learning. Also paying attention when there are areas of struggle for the student and focusing attention on them. I like to have fun while teaching in order to take some of the pressure of learning off of the mind.

My teaching/mentoring style would be to build the child up in everything that they do. Being a positive teacher with an uplifting personality can help a child learn much better than if they are belittled. I believe that there are no “stupid questions” and the only way to learn anything correctly is to ask!
I am a graduate from Winthrop University. I double majored in Business management and financial planning. I have the knowledge to tutor someone in Finance and any other Business related topics. I am currently enrolled in the Masters in Public Administration at Clemson University. I have experience in mentoring programs with previous jobs as well as the organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters.

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.
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.

My teaching style is one where I combine the approach that best suits the individual’s personal learning style with proven sound educational best practices. I have had successes with motivating students who usually do not like to read. I have been able to help them by meeting them where they are and then helping them to formulate and meet their own goals. I have high expectations of students; however, those expectations are tempered with a realistic assessment of what the student is actually capable of achieving. I find oftentimes that students are capable of doing a great deal more than they thought they could originally.
I am a knowledgeable, experienced and well-trained educator. Students appreciate me because I am firm but fair and down to earth. Co-workers and administrators have described me as caring and creative. I have become highly effective in teaching strategies ... read more

I have three years of experience working with students with special needs in the classroom. I also have personal experience helping those with special needs. My younger sister has a server intellectual disability, which was the driving force motivating me to enter the field of education, more specifically, special education. Through my graduate studies, I have worked with a diverse group of students with special needs, ranging from students with learning disabilities to students with severe intellectual and adaptive impairments. I feel as if I am highly knowledgeable and skilled with students struggling to succeed. I can see the potential in them and I help them see the potential in themselves as well.
I not only enjoy educating students, I have compassion for students who struggle to succeed. I have learned that every child is unique and all have different learning styles and pe ... read more
