I enjoy teaching and do my best to make learning fun and easy for my pupils. I approach lessons by letting the student realize how and why the lesson is important and how it relates to their lives. I firmly believe everyone can learn; the style in which they learn may differ from others, but given the correct approach, all teachers/tutors can be successful. With my Bachelor's degree, I began tutoring through Reading Success and conducted private tutoring of Georgia History. I progressed to teaching English, Spanish, and some Special Education Resource classes at the High School level, and continued to teach lower level English classes at a local college along with reading in an Adult Continuing Education program through another college. My writing skills have been sharpened as I edited and wrote articles for newsletters, newspaper releases, and in an administrative capacity.

My teaching style is highly interactive and engaged. The relationship between student and teacher is based on mutual respect for our respective capabilities. An important first step in teaching, and particularly in introducing new material, is to construct a frame of reference familiar to the student, and then begin to expand that frame to enhance conceptualization and mastery of new skills and knowledge. As a parent of four, educator,education advocate and mentor, I have spent most of my adult life working with young people in various learning enviroments. I have a love for and commitment to educational preparedness for students of every learning level.

I graduated suma cum laude from Claflin University with a bachelor's degree in elementary education in 2004. From there I took a long term substitute position in an elementary school. During this time, I became a tutor in the school's EAA after school program where I worked exclusively with at-risk readers. Upon leaving that position, I was hired to teach a group of at-risk sixth graders. I taught ELA and a reading recovery class. I also tutored in the EAA after school program. I held this position for three years, and then I became the EAA coordinator. During this time I also received a Master's degree in education focused on divergent learning, or the different ways that students learn. Collectively, I have taught and tutored 5th grade math, 3rd grade all subjects, 6th grade all subjects, and 7th grade ELA.

I am a patient, understanding, and considerate person. I love the sight of a child learning something after a person takes the time to show the steps. At the moment, I am unemployed throughout the week so i can meet with a child/children whenever they need me. I also can help a child through their personal problems because it is not always that a child does not understand the information; sometimes they have other things affecting their lives. I want to be able to make a difference in a child life forever. I have earned a BS in Physical Education. My major was Athletic Training, which has prepared me to gain extensive knowledge in Biology and Anatomy & Phys. I also have prior tutoring experience helping with students at my church and family members who were younger than me. I have helped tutor students with all major subjects.

I absolutely love working with children in an attempt to help them to realize the value of a quality education. I have worked with children with psychological and behavioral issues and have helped them to thrive in an educational setting and to strive towards changing their own circumstances to create brighter futures for themselves. I am extremely creative and am always trying to find ways to help the children learn through experience and action, instead of rote memorization. I think of myself as having a lot of patience and compassion for individuals needs for a variety of teaching styles. I am a graduate of the University of West Georgia Psychology department, with a focus on humanistic and holistic ideology. In January I began my second Bachelor's program in Studio art, and eventually plan to pursue a Master's degree in Art Therapy. I have experience working with teenagers in a resid

I believe in consistency in my approach to classroom management, behavior support, and with instruction. Direct Instruction is proven by research to help students who are significantly behind in academic performance. I like to incorporate modeling, giving examples, engaging students, and guided practice before independent work. These strategies enhance student performance. It is also essential to continually check for understanding throughout the lesson. Repetition is pertinent. Without repetition there is no retention. I try to make sure the child is confident about his own ability to achieve or behave. Without motivation and esteem, there is no success. I enjoy working with youth. I consider myself to be an advocate for the rights and needs of youth. My bachelor's and master's degrees are both in special education. I went into the field of special education with the heart t

Boy's Academy. As a teacher, I also tutored students after school in writing and reading. As a teacher I witnessed first hand the challenges students face in public schools. Due to the importance placed on standardized tests, students are often taught with a single focus in mind. Often times the different needs and learning styles of students are overlooked or ignored completely. I, on the other hand, prefer to t
