Experienced, Inspirational Teacher and Student

Critical thinking is nourished so well-considered and studied opinions are more than welcome; they are essential. Students have conveyed to me that my style is one of "relaxed intensity" with a flair for the dramatic laced with a sense of humor and a genuine appreciation and respect for the views of others. Focused creativity is required.
I am a career educator who has taught English and other Humanities based courses extensively since 1988. My primary experience is on the college and university level but I also have a high school and middle school background. The educational and pedagogical philosophy I hold is this: The ability to communicate effectively remains the most vital of skills and is crucial to academic and career advancement. It is with a sense of privilege and honor I teach and with a sense of urgency as communication skills continue to evolve in a quickly changi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I generally teach through visual aids and through very thorough explanations. If the student doesn't understand the first time I explain something, I will explain it in a different way and will keep explaining it in different ways until he/she fully understands what's being taught. I try my hardest to teach by explaining concepts logically and showing WHY and HOW, rather than simply saying something is what it is "just because."
I have always been an honors student and am currently taking the highest levels of math (AP Calculus) and spanish (Spanish 5) at my high school. I am involved in Peer Mentors at my school and have tutored multiple students in a variety of subjects. I have also tutored students outside of school, mostly in math. I love teaching others and helping them to understand concepts that they previously were struggling with. I am very patient and will work my hardest ... read more

Gastonia, NC area tutor

I have 12 years experience in the healthcare/mental health field and a lot of that experience has been working with children and teens. I work well one on one with children and feel individualized attention provides the structure and support that many kids need. I am available to come to your home as this would minimize distractions too.
That depends on the student. Styles can be adapted to meet the needs of the student

A Little Bit About Me...

I have enjoyed all of my experiences working, teaching, and tutoring individuals. While I was in college I worked as a preschool teacher. Then into the public school system in New York and North Carolina, both being very different from one another. And finally on to tutoring. All facets of educating others is an amazing feeling and accoplishment for me and for the individuls I am working with. I was born a teacher and am a teacher in all aspects of my life- even out of the classroom. Always encouraging others with patience and positive feedback, just as I do in the classroom or home setting. I am a teacher at heart and cannot imagine doing anything else. I look forward to educating and improving the lives of many other individuals as I continue my tutoring career.
I attended a state college in New York where I was a dual marjor in Literautrue and Education. It was during thes ... read more

I have been interested in tutoring and mentoring elementary students since I was a senior in high school. My college experience includes coaching junior high kids, tutoring 1st through 8th grade students in math and reading, and observing veteran teachers. My years at Michigan State University taught me a lot about planning and curriculum, as well as the importance of hard work. Michigan State required every student to complete a year of student teaching. After I completed the year of student teaching, I took a 5th grade teaching position in Gaston county where I taught for 2 years. Last summer I decided to make a move to 3rd grade which where I am presently teaching.
I enjoy working with students in my school. Every day presents different challenges with students and it takes a great listener and problem solver to help students who do not learn material the first time. I p ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am grateful that school was easy for me, but I also know that for many children the task of discovering, understanding, making sense of, and retaining information can be tough and may seem almost overwhelming. All children can learn and there is no better way to instill that desire in them, than to work one-on-one or in small groups. All subjects can be made interesting, and I feel I have a knack for making the "boring" material come alive with relevance and excitement.
Upon graduating from Johns Hopkins with a degree in writing, I substitute taught full-time at the high school and the middle school levels in the small upstate New York town where I grew up. Since my days as a substitute teacher, I have worked as a freelance writer, Senior Editor at a major publishing company, Senior Copywriter at an ad agency, and attended grad school.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style has been to make learning fun and easy to remember. When I have taught I've been very interactive with the students and have gotten many compliments from students and patients as well, on my ability to communicate on almost any level.
In Medical School, Residency and practice I have always been expected to be in the simultaneous role of student, teacher, mentor and tutor. I can say I have a vast amount of training and expereience in science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, as well as the liberal arts. I score as an ITSP on the Myers-Briggs evaluation which means I am not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, I am also directive and attentive in teaching settings. I have done a small amount of teaching at the junior college level and am comfortable giving oral presentations to groups of people.

A Little Bit About Me...

My career path has been filled with various tutoring and teaching activities. I taught high school English for three years and am currently teaching community college English. I began tutoring on a volunteer basis for fun in college and continued to do so during graduate school on a paid basis. I am also a published freelance writer with three years of corporate communications experience.
My tutoring and teaching experience has introduced me to Derek who has no surviving family members, Mike who has abusive family members, Paul who has been tracked inappropriately, and many others with discouraging situations. Rather than let their hardships be crutches or barriers, I approach their capabilities no differently than the highest academically tracked students with pleasant home lives. I just adjust to their paces. I believe that, as Mike Rose says, “Students will float to the mark you ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a college and high school English teacher, I stress the importance of reading and writing in every class I teach. I earned my MA in English in 2006 and have been tutoring others in writing since I was an undergraduate student at UNC-C. I can also tutor in subjects such as US and World History, psychology and the arts.
I like to help students find something relavent to their everyday lives in anything they are studying. I do my best to simplify ideas so that students can comprehend and build on a solid foundation of understanding.
