Poetry is one of my top subjects!

I am currently taking the English as a Secondary Language course at Benedict College so, I can be certified in teaching English across the world. In the summer of 2013 I worked at Lanier Technical College/ University of North Georgia as a ESOL Assistant Instructor. I spent my summer translating English to Spanish natives who wanted to obtain their citizenship. That's when I made my decision to go to school for that field. I have been fluent in Spanish since I was a young child. I indulge in English because its a resource that I have that so many world would die for. So I'm choosing to make a difference and travel around to the less fortunate and bless them with knowledge. As a tutor I am very strict and serious because I want to see progression and succession. I do not settle for lethargic work and, I push you to be better. I do not accept "quitting" or "giving up" due to difficulty. I w ... read more

Wildly Experienced Writing and All-Around English Tutor

I have tutored writing at the college level since 1985 when I finished a formal course in tutoring methods. Since then, I have tutored writing and other subjects for people as young as 12 through college-age. For 15 years, I also taught college writing courses including basic writing, English composition, research composition, creative writing, and advanced poetry writing. I am the recipient of a Nation/Discovery award for poetry, and my poems have appeared in many literary magazines and some anthologies. I recently put out a novel. Additionally, I scored 198 out of 200 on the literature Praxis examination, which is a national teacher certification exam. In addition to teaching writing, I ran an interdisciplinary learning center for 11 years. There, I hired, trained and supervised tutors in many disciplines--usually at least 90 per semester. The Center normally made about 5000 tutori ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a hands on kind of teacher. I like to find ways to make teaching come to life and be a fun and enjoyable experience for the student. The more one on one I can be the better. I think you can be a better teacher when you know and understand your students more. I still maintain a great relationship with girls I counseled at camp back in 2001 and 2002. Many of my students from Korea also still keep in touch with me. Building a relationship is very important to the learning process. I like to take students to places they've never been before. Teaching them about how the world works and showing them things outside of their normal world so that you can foster a quest for knowledge they will carry throughout their life.
In the summer time during my undergraduate career I worked as a camp counselor and coach in Colorado for children from the ages of 6-18. After completion of my ... read more

I believe children construct their own knowledge of the world around them. They need to be active participants in their educational process rather than passive recipients. I also believe that learning must be engaging, meaningful, and fun. All children are individuals with their own unique learning styles and developmental patterns. I know that what works for one child may not work for another child, and I generally try multiple approaches until I find the one that works. Most importantly, I believe that all children are naturally curious beings who want to understand the world around them. All children want to learn, and all children can learn. It is my job to help them figure out how to learn.
I have ten years of experience working with all ages of children in an educational setting, including children with special needs. While I am most comfortable with mathematics and l ... read more

I am very patient and humble young lady. No child is the same as another, so therefore; they are unique in their very own way. I believe that every child can succeed, but they just need to be instructed in the right direction. I can provide that direction because I will be their compass to the world of understanding, knowledge, and discovery. Learning should be fun and exciting, but not tedious and boring.My students will be outgoing and will be the future lawyers, doctors, firefighters, and the best teachers.
I believe everyone has a gift from God. My gift is working with children, it brings joy and peace to my heart.I have a passion for working with children who really can not help themselves because they are either lost, not motivated, or scared.I just want to be an inspiration in their lives.

As a liberal arts college graduate, I was educated in multiple subjects, with a focus on the importance of integrating curriculum. I have earned two bachelor degrees, one in Visual Arts and the other in English with Academic Honors. Being an English major, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing and editing four years worth of literary and expository research papers. I have experience tutoring students from elementary to college levels in English and literature, music, visual arts, mathematics, social studies, and history. I pick up tutoring in new subjects quickly and easily.
I love working with all age groups. I have three younger siblings that I have helped tutor through all levels of their educations. I have also tutored on a college level while in attendance at Presbyterian College. I am very patient, easy-going, and considerate. I emphasize the personal nat ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I feel that I am very much a hands-on learner, but I also enjoy engaging the minds of those that I educate. I enjoy researching new and more relevant ways to teach the applicable generation under my watch. Also, I feel that learning occurs outside of the classroom/main learning environment, and that as a mentor/teacher, I am able to pass on various types of lessons. My current place of study models this truth for me; by opening up their lives to their students. This shows them that life is a series of lessons; one that must be taken just as seriously. When engaged in a teaching opportunity, I attempt to be pleasant, passionate, and humorous. Above all, I desire those listening to enjoy the privilege it is to learn.
I've always known that I wanted to work with children and adolescents. Prior to college, I was chosen to enroll in a course that helps those desiring to work in educatio ... read more

I graduated in May 2009 from Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA with a B.A. in English Literature and Language Arts with a concentration in grades 6-12. My senior year I began student teaching and started graduate level courses to begin obtaining my Master's in Teaching for English. While doing so I volunteered in the surrounding public school system for grades 4-12. I was a tutor for the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) Program for Hines Middle School readers in Newport News, VA and for Menchville High School grades 10-12. I currently substitute teach for Oklahoma City Public Schools and would like to continue tutoring and teaching on the coast when I move back to South Carolina this summer (2010).
As a recent college graduate with a liberal arts education, my teaching style is very eclectic. I believe it is most important to be nurturing and more of ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is the same as my parenting style. Establishing high expectations and an environment where students are provided the academic tools they need, as well as care and concern, have been the keys to my success. I have learned that all children strive to please their parents, and their teachers when they know that the teacher is invested in their success. I also seek to instill an "I can do it" attitude in my students because many have struggled and developed a negative attitude about academics. The student and I work together as a team. When one succeeds, so does the other. I include parents in each success so that the student is supported across all settings.
Throughout my years of teaching I have taught students with a broad range of abilities and needs. At the middle school level I have provided instruction in math, English, science and social studies. In high sc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I went back to college to pursue a career in education. While in college I tutored basic math skills to college students and worked with middle school students under a grant program called GEAR UP. I am in my fourth year of experience in the secondary education classroom. The trend now in SC is to hire only secondary teachers with a Masters level of education. Such that, I accepted a position as a teaching assistant to at least stay in education with the intended goal of grad school in the near future. I have experience and am able to tutor in all four core content areas. I am particularly interested in helping students develop and achieve good writing skills and improve reading comprehension.
I strive to work with each student on an individual abilities format. I believe every student with a desire to learn can achieve their education goals. I provide a positive learning environme ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love learning and the precision arts such as mathematics. This has driven me to begin in a computer career. I spent almost two decades applying my computer skills. Learning has never stopped for me. But then I love the outdoors and working with my hands. I have taught myself the carpentry trade and the concrete business. I started out by sitting down with the manuals and memorized the building codes before I built my own house. Recently I applied mathematics to a roof I was building. Simple, yes, but not everyone would take the time to lay it out on paper and get accurate measurements. I hope one day that I will be able to combine mathematics with real life applications as I home school my own son.
What I have discovered about myself is that I learn differently from other people. I am the kind of person who prefers to set aside that assembly instruction manual and ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I set high expectations for my students, and I set high expectations for myself. My strongest assets are my patience and ability to convey difficult subject matter to variant learning styles. I evaluate each student as a unique learner and measure success through achievement of desired outcomes. My students are successful because I prepare efficiently, deliver instruction professionally, and I believe in their ability to achieve their personal goals. I use positive reinforcement to propel the learning process. When students reach their goals, I have succeeded.
With a BA in English Literature from the University of South Carolina and an MA in English Education from the University of South Florida, I have 10 years experience teaching English Language/Writing Skills to secondary students, college students, executives, company representatives, and military contractors.
