I have worked with children in various settings since 1974. My experience began working as a summer camp counselor in different residential camps for those with special needs from 1974 - 1980 inclusive.

I can relate best with the student/youth.

I attended Rufus King World IB High school in Milwaukee, Wi, one of the most prestigious inner city high schools in the country. I excelled in IB Geography, Chorus, and Theatre. I was one of those kids who never did any homework, but passed my tests. Everyone came to me for help on projects, homework, ect. I feel that I didn't fully utilize my strengths in school as I could have, so I would love to share that with those who need it now.
Very relaxed, easy going, friendly. I feel less pressure and non stressful settings help students learn better. They can relate to a younger person who is more in tune with youth and someone who understands them.

I have a long history of tutoring experience along with substitute teaching at The Baylor School in Chattanooga from 2000 until 2008 and prior to that at various private homes for 2 years. I have a BA degree in Economics/International Studies/French from the University of TN – Chattanooga, a certificate in French from the Sorbonne in Paris and 23 hours in English from Arizona State University. I also have graduate work in non-profit management with a concentration in fundraising. Most of my tutoring experience is with high school students and lies in French, writing skills, and general life/study skills for boarding students. I have also worked with elementary students in all areas of study.
I evaluate each child during my first session to determine their learning style and their level of need. Once we establish that, I tailor a program of study designed to improve not only the cur ... read more

I believe in letting the child set the pace when it comes to private tutoring. I would listen to child to learn what truly interests them and inspires them. I would then use this is my lessons so they enjoy the learning process. Children enjoy learning anything when it is taught in the appropriate way. I learned this very quickly teaching English to French elementary age students.
I know what it takes to teach and learn a foreign language because I am fluent in French. I was inspired by watching the great teachers that I had in high school and college. I have taught English as a second language, so I have classroom experience to add to my general knowledge of the language and culture.

More About This Tutor...

Successfully earning both my Bachelor's and my Master's, Magna cum Laude, from reputable universities only dimly begins to communicate my passion for learning and for teaching. Further, my experience has developed competencies in oral and written communication, social sciences and humanities, religion and culture, and foreign languages, most notably Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Finally, the opportunities to teach and tutor for four years included two years of teaching classical languages and two years of tutoring middle and high school students in language arts, social studies, and foreign languages.
Teaching is more than passing on information. It is a dynamic process of inspiring a love for learning and equipping students with the tools to learn successfully. It is important to provide students with structure, engaging activities and lessons, and opportunities to integrate and s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching students at all ability levels. I have the expertise to challenge and assist the most advanced learners, and the skills and teaching strategies to lead struggling students to high levels of success. While all aspects of English came easily to me as a student, I have had other courses that challenged me, so I understand the frustration of encountering difficult material and assignments. I bring this understanding - and a kind and patient personality - to each tutoring opportunity.
I have had many years experience teaching students at the middle and secondary levels. I have an exceptional knowledge of all areas of English - American and British literature, composition, and grammar - demonstrated in part by my perfect scores on the teaching professional test, the Praxis. Additionally, I have had five years experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) at all ... read more
