More About This Tutor...

As a graduate with a BA in English Education, I received the most up-to-date and professional instruction in education. I specialize in secondary education but have tutored elementary students in reading as well as testing skills. As a high school English teacher I work with young adults every day in the classroom as well as after school in the tutoring program. While completing my degree, I also tutored students in basic psychology, history, and in writing labs. I have taken part in SCETA sponsored SAT preparation professional development courses to better prepare me in SAT tutoring.
With regards to my teaching style, I am a pragmatist. I believe that every student has the ability to learn if given the proper instruction, attention, and feedback. As a classroom teacher in public school, I try to create the kind of learning environment that will not only nurture creative and free t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a hands on kind of teacher. I like to find ways to make teaching come to life and be a fun and enjoyable experience for the student. The more one on one I can be the better. I think you can be a better teacher when you know and understand your students more. I still maintain a great relationship with girls I counseled at camp back in 2001 and 2002. Many of my students from Korea also still keep in touch with me. Building a relationship is very important to the learning process. I like to take students to places they've never been before. Teaching them about how the world works and showing them things outside of their normal world so that you can foster a quest for knowledge they will carry throughout their life.
In the summer time during my undergraduate career I worked as a camp counselor and coach in Colorado for children from the ages of 6-18. After completion of my ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe everyone has a gift from God. My gift is working with children, it brings joy and peace to my heart.I have a passion for working with children who really can not help themselves because they are either lost, not motivated, or scared.I just want to be an inspiration in their lives.
I am very patient and humble young lady. No child is the same as another, so therefore; they are unique in their very own way. I believe that every child can succeed, but they just need to be instructed in the right direction. I can provide that direction because I will be their compass to the world of understanding, knowledge, and discovery. Learning should be fun and exciting, but not tedious and boring.My students will be outgoing and will be the future lawyers, doctors, firefighters, and the best teachers.

A Little Bit About Me...

One year prior to my doctoral degree I began teaching at the University level. At the same time I was teaching as a substitute at the elementary, middle school, and high school level, while acting as Superintendent of the preschool education program at our church. Throughout my career I have chosen to work with organizations focused on collaborative scientific efforts across disciplines to discover cures for diseases, to understand the mechanisms behind those diseases in order to improve health and prevent disease, and that allowed me to continue teaching. My most recent position allowed me to accomplish all of these. In addition, I have many years of coaching in sports to various age groups and mentoring with middle and high school students.
My teaching style is diverse and dependent on the group with which I am working. I believe that different people learn in different ways, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Upon my graduation from UNC Chapel Hill, I worked various jobs; however, I could not find fulfillment in what I experienced. I decided upon moving to Charlotte in March 2006 to go into Secondary Teaching in English. I gained an excellent education at UNC Chapel Hill and UNC Charlotte. I have one year of public teaching experience and two years of tutoring experience.
I have been told often I am especially patient, which I believe is one of the most important qualities for a teacher to have. I know from experience that not all children learn in the same environment, so I would love work one-on-one with a student to help him or her to gain the experience that may be lacking. Each person has different strengths, and those strengths may not always be recognized in the classroom setting. Many students have unrealized strengths and abilities. My license is in English, but I also e ... read more

My method of teaching varies with the subject. A spanish tutor and a chemistry tutor can go about things quite differently. I like leading students to find answers on their own so that they understand the paths they are taking. That method is especially helpful in hard sciences and math. In the liberal arts (poli-sci, literature, religion, philosophy, etc.) I like to work in the Socratic method. I'll challenge the students on topics and concepts with questions that need some thought. I want them to discuss issues with me, and that allows me to help expand their understanding and discover weak points in their knowledge.
Since high school I've been working with my peers to help clarify subject matter, as that was my favorite method of study. In college I tutored under-classmen in Spanish, chemistry, and political science. Since graduating, I've worked with college freshmen as a writ ... read more

I would love the opportunity to teach grade school children. It was during my formidable years that I can recall a young lady who impacted my education in a very significant way. Additionally, I also have very fond memories of several children who I mentored through tutoring. My innate enthusiastic nature has facilitated a strong desire with the children to participate in the learning process in many unique ways. I gain tremendous joy and satisfaction through observing this process.
Earning a degree in Communications accelerated my skills in writing through Journalism, research papers and Rhetorical studies. Additionally, writing is something I enjoy and practice on a daily basis. It has been a number of years since I have tutored a child however, I would like to incorporate my vocational experience as well as my collegiate studies into my teaching practices.

More About This Tutor...

Through my experience working with students, especially as a substitute teacher, I have learned that each student has unique and individual learning needs. Some students are able to retain and comprehend information when presented orally; others are visual learners, while some students work better by learning through example. My goal is to discover what learning style best meets the needs of each student and then utilize the appropriate techniques to reach the highest possible success rate. I am a patient teacher who understands the importance of consistency while remaining flexible. I also understand how frustrating learning can be to struggling students and try to make learning fun and applicable to everyday life. Students need to know that others believe in their success in order for them to achieve success.
Graduating from a liberal arts college, I had the benefit of studying v ... read more

My philosphy of education is that children learn through real-world experiences and tapping into their interests will foster their educational development. Another key factor in helping students achieve academic success is assessment and observation of individual learning styles and multiple intelligences. Honing those positive features in students will inspire and motivate their learning to new levels. I believe strongly in problem-solving and hands-on learning to promote higher level thinking skills. I feel children have just as much to teach as they do learn, and that cooperative learning will benefit them not only academically by teaching themselves and their peers, but also socially to promote and build self-esteem.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe students have the potential to master anything they find interesting. It is my job, as a tutor, to engage each student in a way that motivates them and helps them believe in themselves. I look for experiences in each student's life to help them connect with the learning process. As I teach, I look for ways to help students develop many skills and talents. I have spent many years researching, writing, and presenting Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. I model my teaching style in a way that reflects my student's development across all of the intelligences.
In addition to earning an MBA and a BA in Political Science, I have just completed my Doctorate in Education. I have extensive writing, grammar, and reading comprehension skills from writing and researching my dissertation and numerous research papers. I have worked in government, education, and bus ... read more
