Teacher with gentle touch - Very good at explaining new subj

Web manager and usability analyst as well as instructor. I have been asked at various jobs to teach training classes to my peers because of my ability to deliver an easy to understand lesson. I've been told I am very good at explaining a topic that someone has no experience with at all. I am on contract with NC States Computer Training Unit.
I try to find the teaching style that is going to work for the student. Are they visual? Do they need to touch to learn? Finding out how to teach them and then helping them learn skills for independent study are just as important as the material.

Learning as an Individual, Believing in Your Value

Have worked with elementary age children and have tutored/mentored in the workplace. With many years of work experience with employees of varying skill levels, I understand what it takes to be a valued contributor and understand that students learn in very different ways. Creating a relationship with information that is meaningful to the student is the best way to help them learn a concept or process. Most learning focuses on information assimilation while I focus on applying the concept or process to a real work situation that has meaning to the student.
Discovery with emphasis on individual learning style - for instance tactical or visual instead of instructional - also have worked with kids who have emotional issues or self image issues that hold them back from learning - interested in working with kids who are in need of a someone who sees them as an individual

Local marine biologist with experience in genetics.

I prefer a relaxed atmosphere of one-on-one teaching with a hands-on approach. I feel that part of the problem, for so many students, is that they are not comfortable approaching their teachers and asking questions. I want to create an atmosphere where there is no hesitancy to ask any question. The student's progress will determine the pace.
I successfully completed a B.S. in Marine Biology from the College of Charleston in 2004. During my undergraduate career I was able to participate in a research cruise at sea and conduct independent research. I later worked for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Marine Resources Division, conducting research in a variety of fields including mariculture and stock enhancement. In 2006 I began the graduate program in Marine Biology at the College of Charleston. While there, I taught two semesters of Molecular Biology Lab as ... read more

Education is the central focus of my everyday life. I have obtained a BS in Management-Health Care/HR and 5 Associate degrees in Business Administration, Administrative Office Technology, Medical Office Technology, Legal Secretary, and College Transfer. I have been homeschooling my son since 2006 and mentoring students through a local church for just as long. In addition, I tutored in 1990-1991 and 1994-1997 while in college to earn extra money. I have assisted students with Mathematics, English, Science, Social Studies, and Mental Health issues. I have published my own poetry and have written a novel which I will publish soon. I am very well-spoken and do well correcting grammatical and spelling errors of students.

I was part of an intensive course of study which prepared teachers for real world experience from the first year of study. After graduation, I taught for four years in the California public school system, one year of a third/fourth grade combo class and another three years of third grade. I then moved to Central Asia and spent a year homeschooling the children of an American family who lived there. For the next two years, I, along with two other teachers, began a small school for the children of American and Canadian parents living in that city. I am now working on a masters degree in Christian School Administration to better continue this work that I love.
I love teaching, sharing great stories, interesting information and different ways of looking at problems with students. I am patient and willing to go over a concept with a student until he or she understands it. I am a fi ... read more

I believe that a solid education is something every child should have. All children learn in their own way. It is the responsibility of the teacher and parents to determine the way of learning that is most beneficial to the child. It is also the job of the teacher and parents to set their child up for success by helping them gain the knowledge they need. Children should feel they are in a safe environment as they learn. I am dedicated to helping students reach their potential and to teaching them the joy of learning.
Helping others learn has always been a joy of mine. I have a BS degree in Elementary Education. I also hold a current Professional Teaching License. I am certified to teach kindergarten through eighth grade and highly qualified for kindergarten through sixth grade. I also have the experience of being a classroom teacher for three years.

I love to help students become over achievers. I discovered that my success is directly related to how I overcame my past challenges with math, particularly Algebra. Reflecting back on the years when I attended high school, I struggled with math. Once I was accepted to NC A&T, I realized that I had developed a fear of math and did not understand basic algebraic concepts. After being assigned a peer tutor as a freshman, I overcame my fear of math. Due to his mentoring I was successful at conquering math concepts and performed well in all other academic courses. I successfully completed my degree in 1993 graduating with honors. This success has inspired me to teach and tutor math. I am committed to teaching and tutoring students. This is my way of giving back what was given to me, the opportunity to achieve academic success.
I have been providing tutorial services for more than 10 y ... read more

As a graduate with a BS degree in Elementary Education, I have gained knowledge in the practice of teaching elementary school. I have been able to observe classrooms as well as student teach. I was able to put my knowledge to use while I student taught by planning all lessons, implementing fun and relevant activities as well as integrating subjects. I am more knowledgeable in reference to teaching elementary students and implementing useful plans to not only teach them the needed information, but to make it fun and in a way that all students would be able to learn.
I believe that all children can learn and all children are capable of learning. But, all students learn differently, so, I feel that by changing lessons and incorporating different things into each one to accomodate most, or all, students is necessary. When children are able to learn and gain experiences on their own, wi ... read more

I believe that there are lots of different ways to learn, and I like helping people figure out what works for them. If someone wants to be successful and is willing to put in the work, I will find a way to help them achieve their goals.

Facilitating their performance in the classroom bringing about a higher self esteem and a willingness to learn.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have wanted to become a teacher all of my life. I believe that teaching is a very rewarding career. It is amazing to see a child's face expression after they have learned something new or something they thought they could never learn. In my teaching style, one will find a very diverse sense of teaching. Every child is not the same and therefore not every child can learn the same way. I demonstrate and incorporate different teaching strategies in all of my lessons. I modify my lesson based on student academic performances. As a teacher, I have learned that it may take one child a little longer than another to understand a concept, but if I do not give up on the child, then he/she will not give up on me. I strive to make a difference in every student I pass along the way.

During high school, college, and as a working professional, I have taught students voluntarily and professionally in various subject matters. I worked at Sylvan Learning Center tutoring students in mathematics, reading comprehension, vocabulary, and phonics. Also, I've taught high school chemistry and biology at a small private school in Raleigh for two years. I have learned excellent grammatical skills through advanced English courses I took in grade school and have worked with many individuals on their proofreading and editing needs. I, also, have an extensive music background and work with students on vocal technique, keyboard basics, and music theory.
My experiences working with students of all ages and skill levels have allowed me to understand the importance of discovering what each individual needs to be successful. First, I believe in establishing strong foundations, s ... read more

I have had almost 10 years of experience tutoring students at the elementary, middle and high school level in teaching math and science. Before this, I went to local Wake County Public Schools to demonstrate science subjects such as ocean waves, ground water pumping, nutrient contamination and water quality in fresh water lakes. Finally, I was a hydrologist, geologist, and geophysicist for the U.S. Geological Survey for over 30 years before I retired. During my tour with the U.S. Geological Survey I authored 18 journal articles and publications.

Students in a one-on-one coaching environment are more likely to succeed than those in a group tutoring setting. This environment often times gives the teacher the ability to uncover the learning style and needs of the student more quickly in a personal, relaxed fashion. My academic experience coupled with my Montessori classroom experience has made me a keen observer and troubleshooter. In order to guide or teach a child we must learn about "them" first. Then a course of action can be tailored to their needs. I have studied child development, behavioral psychology, and alternative education and methodology. During the last 3 years I have worked with students in K-4th grade in language arts and math utilizing manipulatives, games etc.
