Learning as an Individual, Believing in Your Value

Have worked with elementary age children and have tutored/mentored in the workplace. With many years of work experience with employees of varying skill levels, I understand what it takes to be a valued contributor and understand that students learn in very different ways. Creating a relationship with information that is meaningful to the student is the best way to help them learn a concept or process. Most learning focuses on information assimilation while I focus on applying the concept or process to a real work situation that has meaning to the student.
Discovery with emphasis on individual learning style - for instance tactical or visual instead of instructional - also have worked with kids who have emotional issues or self image issues that hold them back from learning - interested in working with kids who are in need of a someone who sees them as an individual

Political Science is one of my top subjects!

I started tutoring students middle and high school prior to graduating college. I have taught part-time college students at various institutions since 1996. I also have worked as an independent tutor part-time. I have more than 30 years of experience teaching as a one-on-one tutor and as a college instructor. I currently teach at Wake Tech Community College. I have taught at Strayer University, Campbell University, Mount Olive College, Durham Tech Community College, Central Carolina Community College and Vance-Granville Community College. I have worked with 3 other tutoring companies: University Instrcutors, Advanced Learners and WyzAnt.
I enjoy teaching any age student, but more than that I get satisfaction when that student attains their goal. I believe in using the Socratic method of teaching and allowing the student to get their own answers rather than just telling them. I seek ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been working as a Substitute teacher for the last six years in Georgia as well as in the State of Washington. As my resume will indicate, I have experience at tutoring in the four major core subjects (Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies). I recently moved back home to the Wilson area after more than 30 years. I attended Elvie Street Elementary, 1963-67, Coon Junior High 1968, Darden High School 1970-71, Fike High School 1972-73 and graduated from Elm City High School in 1973. So you see, I am back home to stay and have an invested interest in ensuring that the student in this area get the best educational advice that we can give them.
My teaching metaphor is one of being a person of integrity and honesty. Because of my broad knowledge of the different levels of the educational field, especially special education and early childhood, I feel as if I would be an ass ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Education is the central focus of my everyday life. I have obtained a BS in Management-Health Care/HR and 5 Associate degrees in Business Administration, Administrative Office Technology, Medical Office Technology, Legal Secretary, and College Transfer. I have been homeschooling my son since 2006 and mentoring students through a local church for just as long. In addition, I tutored in 1990-1991 and 1994-1997 while in college to earn extra money. I have assisted students with Mathematics, English, Science, Social Studies, and Mental Health issues. I have published my own poetry and have written a novel which I will publish soon. I am very well-spoken and do well correcting grammatical and spelling errors of students.
I have a natural passion for educating youth of all ages and find joy in helping them succeed. No child is unreachable when it comes to connecting with them. The only t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and enjoy working with children and adults. The only thing I ask is that the student be willing to learn. I love any learning environment. I love to make the most of any learning opportunity. Learning is not limited to the classroom. I learn new things every day. My favorite professor is 76 years old; I want to be just like her. I embrace Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence. The most exciting experience for me is to teach a student and watch that student lean over and help another student. I love the synergy of teaching.
I have spent the last 10 years as a student and as an instructor. I realized that I needed computer skills and decided to get the skills necessary to survive. While I was a student, I acted as a tutor. This reminded me how much I love teaching. After I graduated from Nash, I began working as an adjunct instructor. In this capacity, I have work ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I try to make things as fun as possible, and I try to help the student understand by putting the subject in a way that suits their interests. I like to joke around with the students, because it puts them at ease, and it develops a relationship with them that is hard to come by. Without that relationship, the teaching is harder, and the learning is harder. I still get the curriculum across, but in a way that the student understands.
I have taught all levels of high school English and all types of academic achievement within those levels. I am currently a middle school teacher. I have worked with AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) as well. I have worked with students either one on one or via the whole class to improve reading, writing, and test-taking skills. I am also pursuing a certificate in Social Studies, as I have a degree in Political Science.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began my work, with youth, in 1983 when I worked with incarcerated youth at the Highland Youth Center in upstate NY. I later taught high school social studies at Mount Vernon, HS in Mount Vernon, NY where I also tutored after school. I eventually traveled to Benin, West Africa where I taught at a local British School and taught and tutored at the American Language Center. I have experience teaching diverse populations.
I love teaching and watching students learn and grow. I feel that tutoring gives, a teacher, an opportunity to give a child one-on-one attention, therefore, enhancing one's potential at learning. I believe, that as children are our future, it is our responsibility to prepare them to be productive and useful citizens.

I have had almost 10 years of experience tutoring students at the elementary, middle and high school level in teaching math and science. Before this, I went to local Wake County Public Schools to demonstrate science subjects such as ocean waves, ground water pumping, nutrient contamination and water quality in fresh water lakes. Finally, I was a hydrologist, geologist, and geophysicist for the U.S. Geological Survey for over 30 years before I retired. During my tour with the U.S. Geological Survey I authored 18 journal articles and publications.
I have a high regard for all students and believe that if they want to learn, I will find a way to teach them what they want to know. I am patient with students and will try various approaches to teach these students. I realize not all students learn the same way. I have taken education courses and have over 6 years of experience as a subst ... read more

I have been a counselor in the public schools for the past 16 years, both at the elementary and high school levels. I have tutored students in many subjects; ranging from 3rd grade math to advanced algebra to US History.
I am able to diagnose weak points in the student's knowledge and remedy those weak points so that the student is better able to have a full understanding of the content. I believe that most academic difficulties come from small gaps in knowledge and a misunderstanding of how parts relate to the whole.

My teaching style is very much hands on. I try to re-enforce what is being taught, to ensure that the student understands. Also, I like for the student to see the big picture, that each lesson is a stepping stone and that learning never ends.
I am a graduate of North Carolina State University. I believe that my Computer Science degree, has prepared me to tutor students. At North Carolina State University, we took a variety of classes that made us well rounded. During the past 2 years, I have completed training to become a Substitute Teacher, and I had an opportunity to work for a few schools. I accepted most the assignments. They seemed to be pleased with my work ethic and my commitment to education.

I assume even the 'worst' student wishes to learn, has the means to do so, and will direct me in how to help him or her discover a best method. Learning must be both fun and hard work, until the hard work becomes 'fun'. I have expertise in using the internet well beyond Wikipedia and Answers.com. I have access through the university to a variety of sources not available outside the universty (Elsiver, JStor, ArtStor, etc.) I believe in all sources for encouraging readers: comics, sports bios, the sports page of the NYTimes, magazines from InStyle to the NewYorker. I like 'manipulatives' in math because it makes math visual. Drawing the Pythagorean Theorem is a thrill to even my engineering majors.
