EXPERT TUTOR-MultiSubject; Home/ONLINE; +WRITING instructor

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must ... read more

My comments on tutoring Earth Science : Highly qualified k-8

Constructivist, multi-sensory, inquiry-based.
For 20 years I worked for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, as a fifth through 7th Grade classroom teacher. I taught all of the academic subjects in various combinations, sometimes all at once to a self-contained class. The State of Tennessee recognized me as "Highly Qualified" in all subjects, from Kindergarten through 8th Grade. I served on the district's math council for 5 years, helped direct the district's science fair one year, and worked extensively in the field of arts-based curriculum development. I also was trained in the IB curriculum, and implemented it for 10 years.

Hello! I am a recent graduate thrilled to tutor others in the exciting world of biology. I understand that the subject matter can at times be intimidating, therefore I am a very patient tutor who will adapt to student's pace so that learning can take place. I am similarly excited about writing, having assisted many fellow students in college with papers on various subjects, as well as earning all A's and B's in every English course taken in college. I have experience working with school aged children as a former Girl Scout Troop Leader, as well as young adults as a former mentor. If you are looking for an energetic, understanding tutor I look forward to working with you.

Education has played a major role in my life. I earned my degree in elementary education because I believe that everyone has the right to learn. I have been a substitute teacher for six years and taught in a fourth grade classroom during my 12-week student teaching practicum. The many research reports and essays that my graduate program required allowed me to sharpen my written and oral skills. I am an advent reader, and this has also helped me with my grammatical skills. During a long-term substitute assignment, I had the opportunity to tutor two first grade students in Language Arts and Math. My degree in business can be used as a tool to help students learn subjects related to business. I was in sales for five years and have excellent computational skills.
As a mind motivator, I am the dynamic teacher that students need in their lives. I love integrating technology, (i.e. Powe ... read more

I have had experience as a teacher for 2 years. My employer was Metro Nashville public school and they certified me to teach mathematics to grades 9th through 12th. As a teacher I taught geometry at Mcgavock Comprehensive High School and algebra and geometry at Whitescreek High School.
I enjoy finding out a student’s area of difficulty and address it directly. Students have different learning styles, it easy for me teach in a variety of styles so that to make sure my students understands. I do also apply almost everything I teach to real world situations, for example most young students may think that learning about triangles will not benefit his/her career in business. As his/her teacher I will show the student how one can use triangles to determine where to built a manufacturing company equidistant (meaning the distant between each raw material supply place to the manufacturing p ... read more

As a undergraduate Biology major and during the last two years I have tutored other undergrad students in English and Biology using books and also handwritten notes from students. Also we have used available internet resources. While tutoring students I have gained a better understanding of course materials because of my having to reexplain in another way for another person to understand. It is said 100% of material is retained from teaching others.
I believe in fully explaining the problem to the student or working out the problem fully. I then let the student work out the problem by him/herself and and then teaching back to me what he/she has done to get the problem right. I strongly believe hands on teaching and visual aids best help a students to understand what they are doing. Being patient as a tutor is key and repetition so the student understands is very important.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a degree in Liberal Arts from Aquinas College and a Chemistry degree from Tennessee State University. After I graduated in 2006 from TSU, I taught science and chemistry courses for Metro Nashville Public Schools for three years. I have been tutoring students in the MNPS since 2006 in middle school courses such as math, science, and physical science. I also taught high school chemistry for those students attending MNPS summer school for two consecutive years. Currently I volunteer once a week and tutor a student at Julia Green Elementary.
New research studies in neurogenesis now conflicts with studies that once believed that knowledge was predetermined. I am a living witness that knowledge is not predetermined. Failing is an option and exceling is a choice. My primary goal as an educator is to teach the student how to approach problems in any subject matter by using a systema ... read more

I have taught 5th and 6th grade ESL students for this semester, and I have taught English two summers in Korea at intensive English immersion camps. I have also tutored adult and college level students in English at UT while obtaining my degree and enjoyed it the most. Having quality one on one or small group time is the best for students to acquire the knowledge they need, and have instructors that can focus on their individual needs. Not only did I tutor students, but I also helped colleagues whose first language was not English with assignments and my college roommate who was from Taiwan. I enjoy writing and enjoy helping others express themselves in writing. I would love to continue helping others and become a tutor.
People have all different manners of learning information, and most people need a lot of visuals and real life experiences, especially if their first language is n ... read more
