GED Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Buhl, AL

I have taught in private high schools and colleges,as well as public high schools and universities for the past thirty years. I have a great passion for teaching and mentoring, with an emphasis on preparing students for college. My thesis in English was on Eudora Welty's fiction; however, my dissertation was on Shakespeare. My minor in undergraduate school was history; thus, I am also qualified to tutor in history. I have assisted editors for university publications and am well-qualified to edit essays. My studies at Montevallo were in public speaking and theatre, and I have taught public speaking on all levels. Guiding students toward becoming capable and polished speakers has also been an exciting part of my career. My teaching style has been part lecture, part class discussion, part in-class assignments, and some cooperative education, with the more advanced students being leaders

As a recent graduate from the University of Alabama, I have possessed a passion for learning in hopes to become a doctor. I have earned a BS in Biology and a MS in Human Environmental Science.

Throughout my teaching career, I have worked continuously to provide individualized, innovative lessons and challenging curriculum designed to empower students to reach their full academic and social potential. I believe that the best way to do this is through first discovering each student's learning style and then tailoring instruction to make full use of those skills. In this way, the student is always involved and engaged in instruction designed just for him/her. I find no greater joy than in witnessing the excitement when a student finally "gets it!" I am currently certified in Mississippi, and I have 5 years of experience teaching in the classroom. I received my Bachelors in Education with an English concentration from William Carey University in Hattiesburg, MS. I have the background and skills necessary to tutor students in English, SAT and ACT prep, ASVAB, and GED testing, along

I believe in personal interaction with students – making them write, making them read – going over every detail, looking at the issues (grammar, punctuation, syntax, coherent structure (logic, unity, transitions, parallelism,)) and then re-writing and re-reading. The key to doing well in English is understanding basic structure and making it become second nature when writing. Through personal interaction, the process can be simplified by working hands on with each sentence and paragraph. A student learns best when he/she actually reads and writes and has someone to work with on the structure – through a workshop type approach – writing and re-writing. I like to have fun, but I want quality work from my students I have spent the better part of the past 12 years teaching grammar, creative writing, literature, and basic English structure. I have my BFA in Creative Writing and my BA in

I love working with adolescents. I believe with all of my heart that each teen has the ability to accomplish great things with the proper motivation. I truly believe that children, teens as well as adults learn best by doing. I do not believe in teaching to a particular topic. I believe in teaching to the student and how the individual student learns. I want each one of my student's to succeed in their school environment as well as in their lives. Since January 2008, I have had the opportunity of tutoring at risk 9th, 10th, and 11th graders at Leeds High School's AVID (Achievement Via Individual Determination). I attempt to teach them critical thinking skills, reading skills, as well as studying skills. I have worked with the AVID program while I completed my Masters Program.

My desire is to help students reach their full potential. I make an effort to communicate with students, parents, and teachers to identify a student's weaknesses and assess their style of learning. I strive to make learning fun and enjoyable by giving encouragement and praise. I struggled in some math classes as a child, so I also seek to serve as an example that with hard work, determination, and dedication, academic success be achieved. Lastly, I am patient, kind, and enjoy working with students of all ages. I am a physician who loves to learn and wishes to help students achieve academic success. In addition to earning a Doctor of Medicine Degree, I also have a B.S. in Chemistry and a M.S. in Clinical Laboratory Science. I have experience in tutoring English, Reading, Math, and Science. While in high school I tutored other students in Physics, and in college, I tutored elementary
