A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught public school in the Montgomery County School System for 26 years. I retired May 2010. I have taught grades 1-6 in All subject areas. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Education in 1983 from Auburn University. I received my Master's Degree in Education from Troy State University at Montgomery in 1990. I have worked extensively with children in many areas due to the No Child left Behind Act. I have been to a Reading Academy, workshops, on the job training, and have been given title of model teacher. This is where new teachers come to observe my teaching of new programs that were put in place.
I believe all children have potential to learn. I always try to find the best approach for teaching each child. I believe in positive reinforcement and giving a child a feeling of accomplishment after they have experienced so many feelings of failure. Teaching a child o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have had over 15 years of tutoring and/or teaching experience. I have worked with different age groups, my preferred and primary being adults. I am currently working on my master’s thesis in mathematics, by which I expect to graduate fairly soon. I am patient, creative, and thorough in my interaction with students. I am also flexible to manage different learning styles while effectively achieving the learning goals of the student.
I start off with the student displaying what they know and/or don't know. I give an example and and encourage feedback in order to guage the student's understanding. Finally, I have the student to show their understanding. Sometimes, it may take different methods because people learn differently.

My comments on tutoring Life Science : GED level

My teaching style is determined by the needs of my class. Each person learns differently. I have found that a teacher must provide visible, hands-on, lectures, and kinetic teaching styles to meet the needs of a class. At some point every student must learn to work independently.
Adult Education Instructor for 9 years. I have taught in community GED classes in Georgia also. My experience in Alabama has been with the penal system. This has been a rewarding place to work. We are responsible for over 100 GED's each year. In Georgia, I also taught basic computer skills. Reading was the main focus of this promgram. I taught mothers to read to their children. I also teach voice privately.

Life Science is one of my top subjects! I have completed coursework in all types of life sciences classes.

Visual.
I completed coursework in several biology and chemistry classes. This coursework included labs and field work. The biology labs I have experience in include: Zoology, Ecology, Freshwater Biology, Insect, and Fish Biology. These labs were highly detailed and included all levels of dissections, identification of species using taxonomic keys, and microscope work. The field work included species colllection, mapping, and sample collection. Lab reports and field notes were required as part of the labs. The seminars for these courses involved all aspects of biology and life sciences. The exams for these courses were involved and would require 2-5 page essays on biological systems. I have experience in writing term(research) papers in all subjects relating to biology. I successfully maintained an A/B average in my biology courses. The chemistry coursework required for my de ... read more

I firmly believe that all teachers need to do the following things in order to be a well-rounded and thorough instructor: * be acutely aware of the core concepts to be taught * have deep knowledge of facts * organize related features and skills * activate learners' prior knowledge and experiences * design lessons based on national and state standards * connect curriculum to other content areas * Always provide accommodations in order to meet the needs of all students * Work well with other faculty members. In order for a successful teacher to accomplish the above, it would definitely take more than just a "little bit of knowledge," - rather, it takes thorough planning, conceptualizing, and calculating to be the best.

A Little Bit About Me...

I just recently graduated with my Master's Degree in Biomedical Sciences from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Suwanee, Georgia. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Biology with a Chemistry Minor in May 2007 from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I enjoy the sciences very much. I have tutored before with Kumon in Birmingham, AL and Basic Learning Center in Lawrenceville, GA. I tutored children from the ages of 5 to 13 in Reading and Math. I tutored various high school students in Math, Biology, and Chemistry. Before all of this, I also tutored family friends as a part-time job throughout high school and college in various subjects.
I am great with kids of all ages. My future goal in life is to become a family dentist. Therefore, I have grasped the act of patience very well, and nothing pleases more than helping others in any way possible. All my students wo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I truly enjoy teaching math and enjoy watching the 'click' when a student begins to understand the concepts. I believe many students have been erroneously convinced that "they don't get math" or that math is too hard. I believe in not just working through the problems at hand but in trying to help each student gain a better understanding of the thinking process involved in solving problems. Although proficiency comes through practice, there is more to math than just rote repetition.
I began tutoring students in 1984 while working in the math lab as an undergraduate student at the University of Southern Mississippi. After completing my Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics with a general science minor, I had the opportunity to teach college algebra as a graduate teaching assistant. I have been tutoring/teaching mathematics and some sciences ever since. I have experience tu ... read more

I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned an associates degree, in Business Administration, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of interpersonal Communication and entrepreneurial skills. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last five years, I have built a small business from ground up, watched it flourish, hired five other employees, and trained them.
I love teaching and working with all children. I am a mother myself! I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success.

More About This Tutor...

As a lifelong learner I have spent the last two years working on my teaching degree in Elementary Education. I have spent many hours working and observing students in all grades from K-6 the in the state of Alabama and in Florida. I have been able to gain a great understanding through a very well rounded Education program at Athens State University. The program has helped me to understand how to apply my studies and hands on experiences within the school systems to become a knowledgeable and professional teacher.
As a teacher I am a firm believer that all students can learn. It is my job to be a positive supportive professional. I want all students to have a comfortable non threatening learning environment that is conducive for learning. I will work very hard to meet the learning needs of all students, if that means making accommodations for their learning needs. I understand that ... read more

After completing my MS in Mathematics from CSU East Bay, I began tutoring high school students privately. Then, I taught Finite Math, Elementary Algebra, and Intermediate Algebra courses at Faulkner University and at Auburn University Montgomery as an adjunct instructor. This past year I taught high school math, science and Spanish at a Success Unlimited Academy (private). I also tutored K-12 students in math and science. I have successfully worked with autistic as well as children with ADD.
I enjoy teaching one-on-one and have found this to be the most effective in regards to my students success. I believe that every student can do well in math but every student has a different pace. I try to adapt to each student's pace/learning style as I explain a new concept.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have many years of teaching specialised reading to special needs students. I have experience in individual plans, diagnosing reading difficulties, task anaylsis in all areas of education. I have taught both general and special education, as well as youth at risk. I have a proven record of success
I believe that every student has the potential to succeed in the area of learning new knowledge. Therefore I like to use a diagnosis method to find out the best method to reach the student. The most important facet is to build a rapport with the learner. This method has served me and the students I have worked with well through the years.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping children discover new areas, encouraging them to move way from the trite and trivial to new and daring concepts in their research. Often a trivial fact that they never knew will open the doors to opportunities they never envisioned. My son has many interests, and I have always encouraged him to explore them beyond the basics - he can now engage in some amazing discussions with my father, a former Army Ranger, about events in Vietnam that I know were never taught in my history classes. I say that because that is what I believe is my goal in teaching - let the child explore on their own, but be their to catch them when they fall. My duty is to be their guide on the journey; theirs is to show me the uncharted path.

I strive to bring my personal level of enthusiasm into the classroom and encourage students to find enjoyment in learning. Several subjects interest me in such a way that I truly love to learn more about them each day. I would love to show even a single student that studying is more than simply memorizing facts to pass a class but that if he/she can see if from an angle that interests them, learning can become a joy for them as well. I discovered early on that I am a very hands-on learner and believe that successful teachers are those that discover what excites their students and builds each individual curriculum from that, shaping the teaching methods to each student. I am convinced that all students can be highly successful if only we can find a way to reach them on a personal level.

I have a degree in Early Childhool however, I have taught Biology for 9th and 10th graders in a private school. My husband, being prior military kept us moving so I have been a substitute for many years. I also taught my son until the 4th grade and he is now attending private school.
I believe that there are 3 types of learners: 1.Oral : learn by hearing 2.Visual : learn by seeing 3.Kinesthetic: learn by hearing, seeing and using their hands The Oral learner is a “teacher’s pet” because they are the students that will listen in class, barely take notes and do quite well in school. The Visual learner must “look on” as a teacher reads, not taking notes but to follow along in a book. The Kinesthetic learner usually has to listen, take notes, read along but will also tap their foot or a pencil.These types of “distractions” actually help a kinesthetic learner.
