More About This Tutor...

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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children of all ages. I understand that all children have a different way of learning, which does not make them "special", but unique as individuals. I am very patient, considerate, and understanding of each child's differences. My aim is to provide a safe atmosphere for each child so that they know they are not being judged for what they do not know, but are being praised for their uniqueness, perseverence, and innate intellegence. I believe that given the proper opportunities, every child can discover a love for learning, despite any setbacks they might have had previously. I also believe that one great teacher can make a difference in a child's life; I would love to be that teacher for as many students as I can.
Since elementary school, I have known the value of a good education and I have always had a strong drive and love for learning. I have earned a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began tutoring in the third grade after I was accepted into Independent Study Classes. I was selected to tutor my fellow classmates in spelling and reading comprehension. My volunteer tutoring continued throughout my grade school years and into my higher education career. Once in college, I was hired as a mental health worker and tutor to austitic children. I have always excelled in reading comprehension, writing skills, and English communication classes. These skills have aided me in my pursuit of higher education with a focus on the Psychology and Sociology disciplines. The duties for my current position at the Medical College of Georgia Cancer Center include reading new research studies, writing descript summaries of new research studies, and preparing various documents to submit before the Institutional Review Board of the Medical College of Georgia.

I have some student teaching experience from 1992, but I did not complete school then. I recently graduated two years in a row with an English and an Art degree, respectively. I feel my life experience will allow me to relate to the student, allowing for personalized analogies in order to more effectively communicate complex ideas and relationships, particularly within the grammar and mechanics of the English language.
As I stated previously, it is my ability to effectively and enjoyably communicate abstract concepts within English grammar that is of primary value.

I enjoy teaching children and get great pleasure from helping them to learn new concepts. It is very exciting to see the glow in the eyes of a child when he has realized that he understands what we are studying. I believe each child is an individual and learns in his own way. There is no set way to teach a child. Through many years of working with children, I have been able to adjust my teaching style to fit that of the child or children with whom I am working. I believe all children can learn and should be given the opportunity to grow intellectually. Children should see learning as an enjoyable experience and not just something that has to be done.
As an Early Childhood teacher, I have chosen what I believe to be a very important position in society. I have both a BA and a MED in Early Childhood Education. I have taught school for 27 years. During these years I have taught Pre-K ... read more

I believe that every child has a natural desire and ability to learn. When I teach I focus on the students' interests and give them as much free choice as possible in order to encourage their natural sense of wonder and to maintain a warm environment. That said, I consistently expect high standards of achievement and behavior. I also endeavor to use different learning methods incorporating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic tools, which allow for the varied learning styles of different students.
My goal is to teach high school English. I have several years experience working with youth in teaching roles, including tutoring both math and english. For 11 months in Ecuador I taught English, Health, Phys. Ed., and career skills to elementary school working children and literacy to their parents. Other experiences include 6 weeks teaching project management and career skills to h ... read more

When teaching I like to put myself in the child's shoes and think "how can I make this understandable?" When teaching you must make the materials interesting and enjoyable for the learner. I enjoy bringing hands on materials into my lessons whenever possible and use positive feedback to encourage the child.
I recently graduated from the University of South Carolina-Aiken and hold a BA in Early Childhood Education. I am a certified K-3 teacher and I am currently pursuing my MAED online. I have obtained great experience working with children of all ages for 5 plus years, including teaching and tutoring.

As a highly compassionate teacher, I am confident in my ability to deliver an excellent education to each student. I believe all children can learn. I support each child at their level.

You will find me to be a dedicated, flexible, and nurturing educator who is well qualified to provide the motivation and direction students need to successfully learn. My greatest capability is facilitating all styles of learning. I develop multi-sensory lesson plans to keep students motivated and focused.

As a recent college graduate, I was very determined to be one of the first college graduates in my family. I earned my BS in Psychology with a minor in Sociology in three years due to my determination, focus, and dedication. I am currently persuing my Masters in Education. I have also learned extensive grammatical and syntax skills due to a large number of research papers and essays in many various areas of study. For the past four years, I have tutored students in English, mathematics, sciences, and history.
I enjoy working with children of all ages. I believe that because each child is different, they learn differently, and therefore I must find a teaching style that helps that particular study achieve their maximum ability. I understand that some students are more visual while others may be auditory. I consider myself to be patient and understanding, and I believe that all child ... read more

I have been working with youth, especially "at-risk" youth, for over ten years now. I believe all children can become the best, but the individual has to be creative. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the proper experience as well as the appropriate surrounding to learn in. I am dedicated and in love with making a change in all my student's lives.
As an Georgia Southern Univesity graduate, I always had a passion for enabling our youth to become the best that they can be.

I tend towards a style of teaching that is animated yet personable; I firmly believe that quality instruction should be interesting and invigorating while providing a student with comprehensive knowledge of the curriculum. Jokes are not out of place, but the primary focus is on the subject matter, of course. I am particularly concerned in my classes not only with helping students to learn the material itself, but also with helping them develop strategies for learning the information. To this end I keep myself as available as possible to speak with students individually; my experience is that the most effective teaching, especially with students who may be struggling, is in a one-on-one situation in which I can focus on a particular student's strengths and weaknesses as a pedagogical tool rather than hoping that he or she is able to process the general information presented in class. ... read more

If students don't learn the way we teach, we must learn to teach the way they learn. I believe in Orton-Gillingham's philosophy of teaching everything using as many senses simultaneously as possible. Thus, I introduce and teach using manipulatives so lessons are hands-on and active. We move at a brisk pace and do not waste precious time! I love children and want what is best for them. They recognize this very early and work hard in return. It is especially rewarding to watch their confidence and self-esteem soar as they gain academic competence!
I have expertise in teaching reading and math from infancy to grade 8. I have successfully tutored college math and English. I have taught 6th, 1st, 4th and 2nd grade in SC and GA public schools.

More About This Tutor...

During my course as a math tutor, I’ve found one on one tutoring to be most effective. Each child presented different needs and was receptive to different teaching methods, so I would meet with them individually. I believe each child is just as likely to succeed as the next one, and as a tutor, it is my job to encourage and instill confidence in them.
As I approach my college graduation, I have realized how fortunate I am to have been given the opportunity to attend college. I understood the importance of understanding math in life early on and my Finance degree only validated that notion. Early this year, I began tutoring advanced math to middle school kids and found it to be a rejuvenating to see young minds eagerly waiting to be academically challenged.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked in the private sector for over 28-years. During that time, I have earned Associates Degrees in Business Administration and Mechanical Engineering Technology. I have also earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. The majority of my career has been spent working with un-skilled laborers, which has afforded me the opportunity to teach as well as learn. Not only have I developed training programs and materials for employees but written procedure manuals and field installation guides for my company. I have two children of my own and have spent many rewarding hours tutoring them in their studies.
Every teacher must recognize that individuals learn at their own pace. I try to begin at a pace that the student feels comfortable with while gradually challenging them to improve their performance. My technical background makes me a very visual person. I like to incorp ... read more
