Drama Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Austin, KY

I believe each student can learn and it’s my responsibility to find how each one learns best. So much of it is about instilling confidence in the student that he or she is intelligent and capable of mastering the subject. I have been very successful at this and have often had short tutoring assignments: once we discover what is keeping a student from grasping the subject, fixing it is easy and then the student can proceed on their own with or without the help of a parent. The younger the student, the more I appreciate having the parent involved in what I am doing, and the results we are achieving, so they can actively participate with their child, especially once I am no longer needed. I am a 60-year old man who has taught every subject at every grade level as an artist in the schools for over 35 years. I currently substitute in all the grades in Hart County so I have had to demonstrate

I also have volunteer expereince as a Arts and Crafts Teacher and a volunteer reader for Louisville, KY's every1read programs. I graduated at Atherton High School with honors and I consider myself a results-driven achiever with exemplary planning and organizational skills along with a high degree of detail orientation. The key to being a good teacher is being patient. I believe children learn best in a positive and stress-free environment. When a child does good on the work then I praise them and if they make a mistake then I explain to them

It has been said that no one rises to low expectations. I believe that every child CAN learn, but that the process of teaching each child must vary depending on their learning style. Tutoring gives teachers the unique advantage of having students one on one, and allows us to truly discover what methods work best for those students. I have been teaching and tutoring students of all ages for the last ten years. Having graduated with a BA in English, I have learned much about writing and the writing process that I believe could help students at all levels. I have tutored students in English, reading, science, social studies, math, music, and French.

I have loved teaching and working with children and youth all my life. I worked for 4 years at Easter Seal Camp, helping with people of special needs; The YMCA, as day camp counselor, and upon entering into the ministry felt that I have been teaching children, youth, and adults for the past 40+ years. My goal is to help a person discover their gifts and potential and then help them move forward in their learning and living so they can make a contribution to society. Every experience can become a positive learning experience. Upon completing a BS in Education (Dual Certification), I decided to go on for a MDiv in Theology. I was ordained a minister, and thus spent 40+ years teaching, counseling,and preaching. I feel that I have dedicated my whole life to teaching others. I am committed not only to religion, but enjoy teaching basic living and social skills. My wife and I have raised

My life has been changed by art. As a child I took art lessons and learned that creativity is much more than making art. Creativity is a way to train your mind to think outside the box. Creativity can be applied to communicating and problem solving in many areas. I come from a family of educators. As a member of the Art Alliance I mentored fellow students on their work and helped them create a cohesive body of work and their artistic voice. I applied this knowledge in instructing the Model United Nations course. Although not directly art related, teaching the same critical thinking skills involved with debate helped me strengthen my skills in teaching and understanding education. I hold a Bachelors degree in fine arts with a Painting emphasis and a double minor in Sculpture and Political Science. Both were received from Middle Tennessee State University. I was a senior member of the Mid

I have an adaptive teaching style. I know that everyone does not learn the same way and has different levels of understanding. Therefore I try to incorporate fun and innovative ways to teach children. I talk with the students to learn their interests and hobbies and try to incorporate these things in examples. I believe the key to sucessful teaching is to make the subject matter interesting and fun for the student. Educational excellence has always been a priority in my family. It was not something that was asked for, it was expected. I have a BS in Economics from Vanderbilt University and I have achieved many certifications in my professional career. I have been tutoring with a non profit organization, A to Z Tutoring for almost four years and it has been very rewarding. The majority of clients are social services clients and No Child Left Behind students. My main area of exper

I have tutored many years in Calif., but have not done so since arriving in Madison, TN. I have Canadian credentials, but the JD enabled me to quickly acquire a college position in Nashville. I taught English, which is my major from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. I know I am an excellent tutor, having taken several children from D's & F's to B's and A's. I have a reputation for being a lot of fun, as I play both guitar and piano and am quick to arrange little ditties to help kids remember rules - especially grammar and punctuation. I am a fun teacher and enjoy tricking students into learning. I have developed games, songs, and various devices which attract attention and result in learning, regardless of whether the student even notices. I have a knack for revising sentences or instructions to captivate attention which encourages the student to answer or start writing im

Family & friends have expressed to me that my open-mindedness & clever & creative nature allow me to have an almost sixth sense-like intuition. Through the NCLB program, I put this theory to the test, & to be perfectly honest, I feel as if I lived up to this supposed “inherent capacity” to touch & better the lives of underprivileged, neglected, inner-city youth. As an educational activist, I REALLY, REALLY try to get & know each child on an individual basis. I want the child to become comfortable with me in their immediate environment: if a child cannot trust, respect, & admire his or her educator as a mentor, how can we truly expect the child to take his or her education seriously? Can we expect a progressive future if our children’s latent potential is never tapped into, & only remains dormant? I’m here to make that possibility less likely. From an early age, growing up in a loving
