After watching a documentary on teachers teaching in the inner city, I decided to switch my major from Pre-Law to Elementary Education. I've always loved learning and I wanted to be able to convey that same message to my students. In college, I majored in Elementary Education with a minor in Psy. of the Exceptional Child. This minor allowed me to study children who are gifted and children with special needs. I am currently working on a Masters in Special Education because I've learned an extensive amount of knowledge on this subject working for the Early Intervention program in my area. I've always believed that children learn by doing. I would rather have my students get real hands-on experience because concepts can be better attained and understood if children get real experience with it. I also believe that children learn differently from one another and a teacher should be able to ac

I began 'teaching' as the head wakeboarding instructor at Coble Ski School in Lillington, NC, when I was a junior in high school. Shortly thereafter I took a position working at a beach resort in Pensacola, FL, where I spent an entire summer instructing surfing, kayaking and sailing. At Duke I tutored during each of my four years, either biweekly at a local Durham elementary school or at the Emily K Family Life Center. It is there where I tutored once weekly as a senior, up until I graduated in May. I have tutored in all subjects and all ages up through 22. When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their favorite

Although I started my association with education as a teacher assistant for special education, I quickly grew to love the field and pursued my licensure in special education. I have worked as a teacher for learners with autism within the self-contained setting and I currently provide special education services for students in a resource setting. While the majority of my instruction is direct and explicit, I find that many times, my students thrive on working problems out by indirect questioning. They find themselves empowered and feel a part of their own education when they are led to the correct response.

I enjoy being with people! I envision our discussions as part of an exciting collaboration to capitalize upon your strengths and learn in the most effective, efficient, and fun way. We will learn collaboratively to insure you understand what WE have talked about before I leave. I will break down abstract concepts into simple examples and respond to your feedback immediately in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere. During my time at Duke I enjoyed rigorous pre-medical subjects like biology and chemistry, but my interests also include English and psychology. I graduated cum laude in May 2009 with B.A. degrees in Pre-Med and English/History/Psychology. More importantly, I have tutored biology, writing/grammatical skills, English, psychology, and chemistry to a wide range of students—from college to elementary aged. I hope to put my 4 years of tutoring experience to work for you!

Since I am an engineering student, I have always been interested and excelled in math and science, so I have tutored many kids in all areas of science and mathematics. I have also tutored in Spanish and French. Last year, I worked with a young man who had dyslexia. I have helped kids of all ages, whether at the elementary, high school, or collegiate level. I am a very patient person, a trait which I believe is very beneficial for a tutor to possess. I am always patient when teaching, and in doing so have succeeded in getting my point across. I like to pass on small tricks and acronyms that I have came up with for many things, some of which I have still retained to this day for my own personal use, not just for school work.

I believe that teaching children is a noble job. I realized that children have an instinctual readiness to learn quickly, but they need someone who knows how to approach them well and efficiently. Presenting the information in the easiest way possible and in an illustrative way was the method that made my students very satisfied with my tutoring During my housmanship in Omdurman Hospital in Sudan I was assigned the task of tutoring medical students during their clinical clerkship period. It was a rewarding experience as it boosted my skill in teaching what I had learned. I enjoyed working with children during my pediatric rotation back in Sudan and I gained a lot of skills for how to best approach them. After I came to the USA and during my preparation to qualify as a doctor, I gained a lot of extra knowledge in biological sciences.

When I completed my degree in English, I happily took on every challenge set before me as a teacher. Therefore, I have a plethora of experience to offer any student who needs extra assistance in both English (literature and writing) as well as literacy and ESL. Due to my diverse skills, I not only teach AP English IV, but I also teach the decoding strand of SRA's corrective reading program which can provide instruction for a diverse population of students. Additionally, four years prior to becoming a teacher, I was a tutor in the English department at North Carolina Central University. I tutored in all aspects of writing and literature. In fact, I also became a literacy tutor in several communities in both Durham and Raleigh, NC. I enjoy both teaching and tutoring. I have a passion for helping those who require multiple levels of assistance with sever facets of the English language. Whet

I bring my sincere and unique compassion for seeing young people succeed. I believe that education is the key to success for young students. It is important to motivate children in utilizing their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. I believe students should have a positive influence and it’s important to provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions, while fostering confidence in order for students to reach their full potential. Bridging the achievement gap is a significant part of my life’s mission.
