Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Waverly, GA

Over the years (as undergrad and graduate), I have tutored middle school and elementary age students in various subjects. I have also been a resource for undergrad and graduate health science students while serving as a graduate assistant (public health master's program). I proctored exams and held tutoring and review sessions prior to testing. I have two master's degrees, three undergraduate degrees, and experience as a paramedic, nurse, and substitute teacher. I believe in completing an individual needs assessment and designing a study approach around that assessment. I believe in constant reinforcement and reassessment. I also believe it is useful to utilize as many and as varied forms of instruction as possible (written, audio-visual, demonstration, etc.) to solidify a concept. Promoting thorough understanding rather than route memory and recognition skills is paramount.

I am a Systems Engineer with a BS in Business and a MS in Computer Science. Systems Engineering involves getting disparate systems, equipment, and/or people to work together to accomplish a goal. It requires broad knowledge of many subjects and the ability to communicate that knowledge, clearly and unambiguously, either orally or in writing, to others. I am a former naval officer with a current TS/SCI clearance. To maintain this clearance I must remain above reproach in all conduct, public and private. I am currently writing a Science Fiction novel for publication. I am a regular public speaker. The method of teaching used will depend on the subject and student. As a general rule, I prefer method of explanation, demonstration, and drill. The person being tutored must have a desire to learn. This can be fostered in children by explaining how they will benefit from learning the mat

Through my extensive coursework and research and practical application in the classroom, I found quite quickly that there are several different learning styles. It is important to create lessons that they are approachable for visual learners, auditory learners, kinesthetic learners and so forth. It is vital to get to know your students from the start and to see how they learn and operate best, hence making instruction to overall fit their needs making them perform better academically. I am responsible, highly organized, and driven. I am patient, as is necessary when teaching elementary students, and I take my work to heart. I greatly care about what I do, as hopefully all educators do. I have seen the great impact that kindness and extra help can have with young students, and I hope to bring these qualities to your company though tutoring.

My teaching experience began in high school, when I would review and edit my classmates essays. On several occasions, I also went through essays line by line. In addition, I taught swim lessons to preschool aged children, and helped coach crew to high school aged students. Throughout college, I continued to aid my peers with their essays, and often participated in workshops outside of class. As a writer, I have extensively studied methods of teaching to English Language Learners, and native speakers alike. I have also conducted research in rhetoric studies and language acquisition. In short, I love English written and spoken, and I have a passion for teaching. Everyone's teaching style is an accumulation of the teachers they have met. My favorite teachers were tough, they pushed me to do my best, and encouraged me to draft, edit, and to have high expectations for myself. The

Throughout college I was a tutor with a Learning Center. I worked with children in grades K-12. At this center, we helped build reading and math skills individually and in groups. I was also a private tutor for a high school student. Together we improved her study skills and organization. I assisted her with writing assignments, projects, and daily homework. I also worked in the Camden County school system as a substitute teacher and secretary. At Mercer University, I earned my BA in Communications and Theater Arts, and an English minor. I also hold certifications through GACE (Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators) in Early Childhood Education and Middle Grades Language Arts. The most important element of achieving success in school is self confidence. The way I help build that in children is by being extremely positive, supportive, and full of praise. I observe their

I believe the greatest asset to learning for anyone at any age is learning "how" to learn. I like to use modern techniques and ideas to creatively teach a child or adult a new concept. I am patient and unique. I have a passion for teaching and as such opened a tutoring service that I ran for four years. I hold a Bachelors of General Studies from Valdosta State University and will graduate with my Master of Business Administration in May 2010. I excel at tutoring in English, sociology, psychology, mathematics, science, literature, and social studies.

I believe that each child has the ability to succeed as long as they are given encouragement and the opportunity. It is my goal to give each child my personal best and to provide an environment in which they are free to learn, grow, and express their creativity. I would be honored to assist your child in their unique journey. I have an understanding of the Sunshine State Standards and will use the benchmarks to establish goals for your child. I will meet every child on his or her own level and use differentiated instruction to help them learn the skills they need. The child's needs will determine my teaching style. I enjoy working with children and I am fully committed to making a difference in your child's life. I have worked with a wide range of students: from Kindergarten to training adults in the workplace.

My teaching style is one of encouragement and positive reinforcement. I always conveyed the importance of good study habits and how vital it was to their success. I taught them that education is an ongoing process with failure as well as successes, but whatever the outcome, they must always put forth their best effort. My primary purpose in this diverse teaching style was to establish a positive rapport the students and be able to bring out their hidden potential. In my experience as a substitute teacher in the Irving Texas School District I gained a new passion for the struggle that children face everyday. To actually see first hand that no child is left behind was not only challenging but rewarding. During my two years of service I learned that it not only takes a commitment of time beyond measure but also a great responsibility of the heart to continue until you make a difference.

Teaching, in general, has always been a passion of mine. I received my BA in Elementary Education in May of 2007. My internship experience was teaching Language Arts in a middle school in Chicago, IL. Upon moving to Fernandina Beach, I became a teacher for Catapult Learning in Jacksonville. During this time, I provided supplemental Reading/Math instruction to students in the first through sixth grades whose test scores were below grade level. I have also provided a six week tutoring service for the FCAT at Yulee Elementary. With my experience in teaching, I have realized that students are like snowflakes- all unique and they learn in different ways. I always pay attention to the different ways they learn and incorporate that into my lesson plans. As a tutor, I will discover the way your child learns to satisfy their academic needs. I am a firm believer that teaching is a career choice th

I have experience in working with children and young people in my missions and humanitarian work. I have lead teams of teenagers and worked with children in local schools, orphanages, and community organizations. I also worked at a daycare during my internship in 2004. Everyone is special and unique in how they learn and incorporate new information. I like to get to know people to understand how they can learn on their skill level. Patience and understanding is key when working with students and young people because everyone is different and special.

Throughout my teaching, I have adapted the classroom to complement and enrich each student’s learning style, a challenge I thoroughly enjoy. I believe in considering the needs of the whole child, so life lessons can become tools and participation in the journey of learning becomes key towards a measureable outcome of success. I have always attempted to connect with students in a unique and significant way, challenging them to them to expand and believe in their capabilities. With nurturing support children will strive for their potential, and if I can make it fun along the way, then everyone enjoys themselves, all the while important learning and growth has taken place. My B.S. in Elementary Education has provided twenty-five years of teaching in a wide range of experiences. I have taught K3-8 grade students, including those considered “at-risk” due to emotional and behavioral diffi

While I was attending classes at Florida Community College in Jacksonville (FCCJ), I worked as tutor at their learning center. I choose to be a physics tutor because I enjoy tutoring science and Physics is my favorite subject. Due to shortage of man power, I also help tutor mathematic such as College Algebra and Calculus, and aided students who need help with computer programming such as C++. I have been tutoring in FCCJ for 2 years till I obtained my A.A.Degree. As a tutor, students come to me for help if they are not sure about sections that the teacher had taught, and I will re-explain it to them till they understand the concept. I normally begin helping the students by working out some samples in the textbook and show them how the questions are being worked out. Than I encourage students to work on the questions in their homework or pick out some questions from the textbook to work o
