Economics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Bethania, NC

I graduated from Ronald Reagan High School with a 4.6 GPA in the second graduating class ('08), then went on the NC State University to study Engineering, where I jumped in between various Engineering programs for three years before simply deciding to take a break and truly figure out what I want to study. While this may deter several people from choosing me, I know that if you met me and/or any of my teachers from any grade level, they/I could certainly set the record straight, as I am quite a smart person, I have simply struggled with getting my life into an appropriate schedule. This is because between high school, my extra curriculars (captain of the drumline for three years and a captain of the lacrosse team for three years), and my parents, my life was completely structured for me, so what little free time I had was easy to budget, this is not the case in high school.

As seen from above, I have valid tutoring experience in both middle grades and HS. I was in the student teaching program at Wake Forest and upon graduation, I was a substitute teacher in the Winston-Salem, Forsyth County School system. I also participated in the Junior Achievement program in the Piedmont NC region for over 5 years. I am currently a tutor with the "No Child Left Behind Program." I am a disciplinarian. I have an excellent ability to gain a students attention, keep it and the results of my students have been well above average. I have a knack to bring into the classroom, outside events (latest ball games, Olympics, etc.) to establish a 'bond' between myself and the student. This allows me to gain their confidence as well as not create a bored atmosphere. I find this very important, especially with the more difficult students.

I am hands-on and usually try to relate the material to the students in fun/meaning ways. I feel that education is key to a successful working career. If students need help with a subject, then I am more than willing to help - either through students seeking me out or analyzing their work for areas that need additional attention. I have served moderate and low income students through AmeriCorps. My duties included running the after-school program in addition to helping student with their homework. I have also managed a multi-state campaign, and served as Vice President of an organization representing nearly 10,000 graduate/professional students.

I graduated high school in 2003 as the valedictorian of my class. I maintained my high level of academics in college but didn't know what I wanted to do for a career. I graduated in 2007 with my business degree and moved to NC. I worked for a mental health agency helping children in broken homes with school work and being a positive male role model as well as taking pre reqs to return to school for my masters degree in physical therapy. I am currently in my 2nd year of PT school and have always helped others learn throughout my life. I love working with children and had around 9 different children for a two year period while working at the mental health agency. They ranged from 3 years old to 16 years old. I am patient when teaching new subjects and very empathetic to different situations and needs. I have always worked to do the best and be the best and make a positive impact alo

It is my belief that one should be a "professor". That is one who professes to know about the subject at hand. Teaching can take place each and every day, but learning is a rare and precious thing. Only the individual can learn, but the road to that learning experience can be greatly enhanced and a firmer foundation built with the guidance and hope of an experienced mentor and guide. With several years of practical experience with both profit and non-profit clients, and a background in college accounting and computer software instruction, I am blessed with having great insight into both theory and practice. I am confident I would make a valuable and immediate contribution to your operations. My greatest strengths are those most necessary to continued, consistent growth and prosperity: *Strong leadership and the ability to deliver difficult topics to the client’s level of unders

Through my previous experience my teaching style is focused on a strengths prospective. Factors such as motivation, encouraging discussion, critical thinking, challenging perception, and providing time to process the problem and initialize forming a conclusion on their own is imperative! My style would include lecture, reading, audiovisual, and learning by practice! I believe that patience is a necessity,as well assisting the child in improving their self esteem and self worth, by that they are motivated to improve. Also, the learning process has to be fun and enlightening! Currently pursuing a Masters in Public Administration, education has continuously been the forefront of my life. In matriculating towards my educational endeavors i have emphasized great importance in assisting youth at multiple levels, including voluntarily and as a profession.

I like to take some time to find out how each student learns. I like to connect the subject matter to real world examples or how they can use it the next day. I like to explain the subject matter in several different ways so it is easier to understand. I don't think my job is done unless the student walks away with the knowledge and how to use it.

I am patient but firm. In order to be a success in the business world, one must be able to write and speak the English language correctly. If the student knows English, everything else in general business can be taught. Thus, in a tutoring environment, I try to make learning fun and make a game out of speaking and writing proper English. I believe that every child can learn even those that are handicapped. My mother was a specialist in teaching trainable children and got them jobs after graduation. Being around children with IQ's around 60 gave me special insight and understanding.

I love working with children. I believe that all children can learn, but each child learns in a different way. In order to help a student, you must find out how they learn. You also must find their passion. With this information (passion and learning style), you can help any student succeed. Many of my students have been considered as slow, but once I began working with them, I realized that they just lacked the basic skills. This past year, all of my students have increased at least one grade level in reading and math. Many have achieved grade level performance. I am always driven to do my very best. This has been indicated as I earned mostly A's in all subjects. I have worked in the business world in marketing and I know the value of education. I have a Masters Degree in Teaching. I am currently an EC teacher. I am shocked at the number of students who do not have the basic

I am a senior in the Education program at Appalachian State University. As an Elementary Education major, I have worked closely with children from many age levels. I have participated in an after-school tutor/mentor program at Appalachian State in 2008. In 2009, I completed two internships while in the Education Program. One working with 2nd grade students and the other with 5th grade students. I have also taken many courses to understand context and teaching strategies in all subject areas. I believe that children must be engaged in the subject matter before successful learning takes place. Finding fun, interesting, and personal ways for the child to connect to the topic will truly allow them a chance to learn and retain information. I love finding different ways for individual learners to understand what they are being taught.

My teaching experience/background began in 1976 when I enrolled in the Teacher Corps-Peace Corps program at Texas Southern University in Houston, TX where I pursued a masters degree in secondary education (math). The program included university course work at Texas Southern University, student teaching at a local high school in Houston, and a two-year overseas commitment as a Peace Corps Volunteer teacher. I completed all of the requirements except returning to Texas Southern to complete the remaining course for my degree. From about 2003 to the present, I have tutored students in English as a second language and mathematics. My teaching style/approach is to promote a environment-friendly setting so that student can feel at ease and not threatened or intimidated. This is in line with my philosophy of putting a premium on treating everyone with the respect and dignity they deserve. Ultim
