Elementary Study Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Canton, GA

My approach is patient, and I delight in allowing students to make discoveries with purposeful guidance. The overarching goal is to show students that they are capable of doing great things and achieving what they may have doubted was possible for them. That is what truly gives me joy in the tutoring process; not merely instructing, but empowering students. First and foremost, I am passionate about helping children and youth learn, overcome obstacles, and believe in themselves, whether that be academically or otherwise. Over the years, I have learned and had the opportunity to work with and encourage children and teenagers with various behavioral issues, ranging from Aspergers Syndyrome to anxiety and anger issues,so I have a great deal of patience with students whom others consider difficult to work with. Having graduated from the University of North Georgia with a degree in Writing & P

Along with a Bachelor's Degree in Business, I have many educational experiences in the area of science, math, history (to name a few). And in all levels of the educational process; from elementary through high school and even collegiate. My previous experience has included high school students and many college undergrads. My personal style varies on the pupil. These may vary from simply being frustrated with the curriculum to a myriad of influences. My style is considered out of the box, meaning that if the standard method does not "click" with him/her, then I enjoy finding something of interest to them, to relate that to the subject at hand. Keeping a students interest is paramount to keep them enthusiastic about learning.

I have been a certified teacher for 10 years. I have worked in preschools and substituted prior to returning to college for a teaching degree. I have worked with children since I was a child including those with disabilities both physical and learning. I have a son with a learning disability. I have worked with children with Autism. When substituting, I worked at all Elementary grade levels and all special classes (PE, Art, Music, Sped). The last 2 years I taught English as a second language to pre-k and kindergarten students in the Middle East. I am well organized and creative. I will take into account the interests of the child to make learning personalized and fun. In a classroom I try to balance teacher directed and child directed instruction and all learning styles. As a tutor, I will determine how the student best learns to personalize their learning.

I am patient, go at the students level, and believe in the use various types of visual aids and hands on to keep my students engaged. Students learn and retain information quicker with continual repetition; however each student will grasp the information different from another and some will take more repetition than others. I have been working with special needs students with various disabilities for 10 years. I have worked with students ranging from ADHD/ADD to those who are bed ridded and need toileting assistance. I have also had to accommodate with feeding and those who are transitioning out of high school.

I am a former teacher with 24 years' experience in the classroom. I have taught Georgia Pre K, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades. My Master's in Reading and Literacy enabled me to elevate my Reading instruction. From personal experience with my own children, there seems to be very little differentiation or additional help in the higher grades, so I got my certification in English Language arts grades 6-12. In order to make my own classroom more rigorous, I earned my Gifted endorsement. One on one allows me to target desired expectations while group allows students an opportunity to work with me and have discussion among each other.
