Economics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Union Mills, NC

I believe in good classroom management and organized lesson plans. I set appropriate boundaries and expect the students to follow the rules that are set before them. That being said I try to make the learning as fun as possible but organized. I also try to bring in anything that they are interested in to make them enjoy the subject they are learning. If I can find an example in life they can relate to that will help them learn something I will find it and bring it in. I love working with children and really love math. Although I have been self employed for the last 6 years, I went back to school last year to add Science and Math for middle school to my certification. I passed the Praxis for both of those subjects spring of 2010. I was not able to get a full time teaching position this year. I went back to working for myself but would love to tutor. I have tutored for 3 years whi

Teaching style depends on the subject, the type of material, and the student’s level and ability. The goal is to inspire a student to learn the study skills necessary to excel on their own. In a tutoring situation there is usually the immediate need (to pass a test) and the long term need to be able to succeed on their own. I try to balance these two goals but the guidance of the parents is most critical. I use a combination of repetition, memorization, quizzing, recitation, and problem solving to challenge a student’s thought process so that they may grasp the material. My learning philosophy is that the most successful learning is demonstrated when the student is able to explain the material being studied. I have worked and volunteered to teach or tutor students in academic and physical training. I understand both the desire to learn and the resistance to it having three of my

I have over 30 years of diverse accounting experience. Over this time I have been responsible for the timely preparation of financial statements, tax returns, bank reconciliations, and budgets.

I performed training in the accounting function for my staffs at the various insurance companies I was employed at. This enabled the staff to perform their job functions in a more efficient manner and with limited supervision.

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 absolutely enjoy working with students of all ages. I place a high value on education because there is no replacement for this key component in a student’s quest for success. I have several years experience as a volunteer coach and understand all too well the delicate balance that exists between teaching, encouragement and constructive analysis. I am a hands-on teacher and firmly believe that clear instructions unified with connected repetition are vital for material comprehension. All students can not only meet, but exceed their academic expectations when given the right tools combined with positive reinforcement I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Information Science and a BA in Political Science. My graduate work is in Policy and Management from the College of Information at the Florida State University. I have been a substitute teacher for Hillsborough County, Florida and a

As a graduate of Northern Illnois, and with currenty enrollment in NC Teach at Western Carolina a commitment to excellence in education would be an understatment. With twenty-one credit hours in education related course from Illinois, I wanted to further perfect my teaching talents by getting a Master's in Teaching through the NC Teach Program. I teach in a style that relates to the students current conditions. Each lesson is tailored to bring reality, and importance to their lives while not challenging their autonomy. It is critical to get each student to understand the far reaching importance of historical events, and how they still effect today's atmosphere. I use various graphic organizers to break down each historical event we talk about, and candid discussion gaging the depths of comprehension.

I have worn many hats and done many things that all apply to the classroom and teaching young people. I believe that education is the key to life and living. But a person has to believe they can do it first and I believe everyone can learn and should be given the opportunity I ask a lot of questions to get the students thinking. I believe in teaching young people and the adults I have worked with to think critically fist. Then I work with them on being able to articulate and write their ideas down...subject matter follows naturally if they have the confidence and can just think for themselves not just spit back facts and what others want to hear. I would travel and relocate for a job.

I have experienced various types of teaching styles while in school. I have learned a long the way every student is different and learns in a different way. In high school and all even through college math had always been my hardest subject. My second year in college I had a math professor that had a different approach to teaching math and for the first time in my life I finally understood math! Finding the right teaching approach is the key to success! I hold a bachelor degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I majored in Elementary Education for two years before I switched majors. I started a master degree program in International Relations in 2009 and decided to return to school in the fall for a master's degree in social work. I have experience in private school and public school systems. I completed course hours for college in public school systems as

Due to the fact that I was born and raised in Germany and have since lived in various foreign countries, I have adopted sensitivity when it comes to culture and characters. As a teacher I learned to be very observant before implementing a specific teaching strategy. Not only does every child have a different character, but they are all brought up in different surroundings and family constellations. Through my involvement in the Big Brother's Big Sister's program I learned that private family matters are directly related to acedemic success. As in my case tutoring involved building the child's confidence and self-esteem which ultimately had a positive effect on academics. While working on my Management MBA in Largo, FL I was elected head of the English Learning Center, and held this position for two years. The purpose of the center was to tutor international students in the English langua

I am very positive and motivated. Realizing that everyone does not learn in the same way I believe in tailoring learning to the individual. Some are visual learners while others may need to have something explained to them with several different examples based on their individual needs. I believe learning, while requiring hard work, can also be fun. In addition, children and adults are motivated through different means. While an adult may gain a sense of satisfaction from their accomplishment, a child may need something like a "sticker" as a reward. As a Financial Analyst with 15 years of experience, I've worked in many different industries and have gained an in-depth knowledge of Finance and Accounting. In addition, as a Sr. Financial Analyst I've been required to communicate with all levels of Sr. Management. As a manager, I've also trained new employees in many of the positions

Teaching is my passion and the greatest teachers are those who are able to adapt their teaching styles to meet the needs for different students. I like interactive teaching because it better instils the principles explained and also helps keep students focused. I take theories and break them down into day to day activities which the student can relate to. I do not just provide material for the students to pass but help them to see the overall importance of the subject and its impact on the community. I believe all children can reach their potential if they are give the right tools, encouragement and conducive learning environment. As a USC graduate, I have a passion to teach and help other students to achieve their academic goals. Tutoring is my passion and as an undergraduate, I found my self always walking towards students if I noticed that they needed some help. I was not paid to do

An HBCU graduate, I was exposed to diversity across the board and competitive atmosphere to achieve. I have earned my bachelor degree, BS in Accounting that has given me the opportunity to utilize my dexterities in various areas. Furthermore, I have gained a sharper analytical persona, to be able to develop and process solutions that may occur in the day-to-day assignments in small and large corporations. Throughout the past 2 years I have tutored students in mathematics, English, Global Studies, and psychology. Theirs no better is feeling that I get from teaching children. Each child that I encounter learns in different ways and environments, but they crave for that knowledge. I am patient, easy going (also assertive), and tactful. My objective is to give my best teaching to a child that is hunger. I believe that a pupil learn well by constructive illustration and experiences that can

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. 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 attended Furman University on a full academic and golf scholarship where I majored in Health and Exercise Science. My strengths during school were math and science subjects. Because I attended a Liberal Arts school we got a very well rounded education so I also have experience in subjects such as literature, reading, religion, economics, political science, computer science and history. I've played professional golf for the last 8 years and currently work as a public speaker talking with high school athletes about the college recruiting process. This new position of working with high schools kids got me interested in tutoring and it allows me the freedom of being flexible with my schedule.
