More About This Tutor...

I earned a degree in biology with a minor in forensic Psychology. Although Biology was my major, I took math classes from Pre-calculus to differential equations although i did not need it but because I loved math. I am preparing to take my GACE certification, which is a licence to teach. During my undergraduate years, i volunteered at peach county high school in the city of Fort valley; I taught high school students math and science courses and i also tutored math and science courses during my undergraduate years in college. I have currently gotten a job with a tutoring company, all this I know has equipped me to become a better tutor

Summa Cum Laude | University of Michigan | You can 4.0 too!

While I was a Rotary Exchange Student – South Africa | 1999-2000, I volunteered to tutor students of various ages every subject, except Afrikaans, and was very pleased with their progress, and enjoyed it. I excel in the Arts (Creative, and Graphic), English, Statistics, French, Social Studies, Reading/Writing (especially essay) and would be best for college prep (Highschool ages grades 9-12), as well as Creative Arts for all ages. Please see my profile for everything I feel confident to be at expert level of. I am confident I could dramatically improve any student's writing skills as well as their art abilities.
I adjust to the learner and speak their language, establish rapport through mutual respect, and try and make it as fun as possible.

Individualized Instruction for Unique Learners

varies depending upon student's needs
16 years of Public School Teaching Experience 15 years of Preschool Education Teacher I taught students with various special needs in a public school system for sixteen years. I left teaching to raise my son and then to raise my step children. I decided to re-enter the world of work and began to work part time in various offices (insurance, real estate, small business, clothing store and landscaping/gardening center) so that I could have the experiences outside of a classroom environment. I decided to work with children and began to pursue a position as a preschool teacher.

A Little Bit About Me...

My focus in tutoring is on the student. I adapt myself to the learning styles of the student(s), building on their skills and talents. I recognize that some students retain information best by teaching to others what they learn immediately. So I avail them of that opportunity by encouraging them to actively be involved in making up notes, choosing homework questions and rephrasing content based on their understanding. To me, each tutoring session is about embracing my personal responsibility of helping a student take significant progressive steps toward his/her academic goals.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Marymount University. My cumulative GPA is 3.91/4.0, science and Math GPA 3.93/4.0.

When you teach someone, you actually learn a lot yourself.

- I tutored young kids (6-9 years old) when I was in high school and more recently when studying at NYU. It was essentially a nanny job but it involved giving homework support and helping them with French. - I helped a native German high-school pupil (9th grade): maths, French grammar, biology. - I am currently enrolled as an E-mentor to support students from the American-Afghan university of Kabul achieve their academic and professional goals.

Prior Planning Prevents Pitifully Poor Performance!

I am flexible and adapt to the students ability to learn. Some people are auditory while others are visual and after an assessment, it is best to know which approach to take to best help someone learn.

I like to take the "mystery" out of the subject. Math can be especially scary to students who don't have a strong foundation in general mathematics and reading comprehension. I am currently volunteer tutoring an adult friend in general math and I am proud to say that her understanding of the basic principles have increased dramatically in only a couple of sessions. I like to teach students how to take each problem apart into its seperate components. Once they can understand each individual component and how it works, they are able to see the entire system much more readily.
I have assisted a number of students; Grades 1-12 as well as college-aged and continuing education in various math and science courses. My previous career included 27 years in the television industry at various local production facilities in Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland as well as the Washington DC bureau of the A ... read more

As a holder of a Bachelor's in Social Work, I have a great deal of experience mentoring and tutoring students of various ages and abilities. I have worked with adult learners and high school age students with disabilities. I have a strong background in English and Grammar due to an extensive amount of college level paper writing.

I love teaching and interacting with students of all ages and ability levels. I believe that each person is unique and receives information in a unique way.

A Little Bit About Me...

After evaluating over 7,200 college English papers, I know the language skills that students need to develop in high school. I have taught college composition courses full-time for five years and part-time for nine, helping a wide variety of students become better readers and writers. During both my M.A. and Ph.D. programs in English, I was awarded a graduate teaching assistantship allowing me to study Composition & Rhetoric pedagogy while teaching one or two freshman-level classes of my own. I have conducted hundreds of individual writing conferences, and I have experience with gifted students, ESL students, remedial students, and students with learning difficulties. I enjoy helping people become more effective, confident writers.
Although some students are naturally gifted in reading and writing, I believe every student can learn strategies to strengthen their language abilit ... read more
