More About This Tutor...

Education, teaching in particular, gives individuals the opportunity to give back what they have received. It is communication on a broader level than just simply putting forth information to whomever chooses to accept it. I started my career in education before I set foot on a college campus, through a peer-tutoring program in my high school. This experience allowed me to work with severely disabled peers learning functional skills for independence. Since then I have worked as an aide in emotional/behavior and multiple-disability middle school classrooms, as well as LD-resource, ED self contained and SC occupational diploma program. In addition I have earned a degree of distinction with the National Forensic League, been name a scholar-athlete in South Carolina and a host of other accolades in scholarship. I have experienced both urban and suburban school settings and have had inc ... read more

Literature is one of my top subjects!

Over twenty years success in teaching, including homeschooling my own four children, has made me an exceptional tutor. I love children, care about their lives and academic progress, and have the experience of classroom teaching to help me relate to students' needs. I am equally at home in the classroom, in groups, in person one-on-one and online.
Caring, concerned, earnest, fun, relaxed

I am currently in school to become a middle school language arts/social studies teacher. I am about to enter my junior year of college. I have volunteered in middle school classrooms. I have been doing one-on-one care with individuals with mental/physical disabilities for the past year and a half working for the Arc of NC. I have volunteered as a tutor at the Pullen Hope Center in Raleigh, tutoring adults trying to get their GED's.
I am all about positive feedback. I think it is extremely important to point out when people do things right, and not just when they do things wrong.

More About This Tutor...

I have experience in all of the fields that are listed. Most of the skills I have acquired were either through learning them during my time at school or through doing personal research because they interested me. I have done some tutoring in the computer/i.t field as a side job. Chess has been one of my favorite things to learn. My experience with chess has been a regional tournament where I made it to the last-round of the semi-finals.
I am a very hands-on teacher. I try to help students by showing them how it is done and then letting them practice.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an graduate of Illinois, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned these degrees, which has enabled me to gain an understanding of my own children as well as other children I serve. Although I am a Language Arts and History major, I am fluent in French and am learning Spanish. I have a natural gift for languages and numbers and wish to pursue putting these abilities to practice. I have learned extensive Mathematical skills due to tutoring in afterschool programs, working closely with the Math Investigations resource books and the North Carolina Standard Course of study. During the last 8 months I have tutored children in math through geometry, algebra I and basic computation.
I love working with all children. I believe all children have the capability to learn math and put it to use in everyday life, but in a variety of method ... read more

As a graduate from an accredited college, I have learned and excelled as a science major. I have earned a BA in Biology, which has enabled me to obtain a well rounded education, which focused on math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills throughout my educational experience in writing laboratory reports, research papers, and on my own study I, myself conducted. For the past six years I have worked with challenged children and adults all subject areas. I am very hands on, so I like to take my students outside and let them touch and feel things we are learning about. I can teach all subject areas and will probably begin a Masters program for teaching next fall.
Since working with the disabled folks I have learned patience is a virtue. I also learned that each person is very unique and learns in different ways. I will meet your child's individual ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having taught high school in both affluent and underprivileged areas I strive to make sure that every student has a positive learning experience. My degree is a BS in Communication/Business with a minor in education. Language has always been my first love and I continue to take classes related to this field. The past few years I have worked in sales but I continue to tutor.
My philosophy has always been, "make it interesting and they will learn." However, what is interesting to you and I may not be interesting to the next person. Therefore, I listen to the child and figure out their learning style and interests. Only then can I properly teach and know they understand the subject matter. It is always exciting to see a Childs face when something clicks and they have that, "I understand what she is talking about moment."

More About This Tutor...

I have taught in a variety of environments, from one-on-one to teaching a class of 37 eighth graders at once. I believe that having high expectations for students and exuding confidence in their abilities results in strengthening their own self-confidence and performance. My students have continually thanked me for my patience and willingness to explain concepts in different ways in order to suit their individual learning style. Teaching and tutoring are the most rewarding activities I have ever taken part in and I look forward to continuing to help students become proud of their abilities.
I have extensive experience teaching students of all ages. I was a middle and high school math teacher, and have experience in curriculum development and teaching in Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra II, and Geometry. I have lived abroad and speak Spanish fluently as well. In addition, I am familiar ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that education should be a voyage of discovery for both the student and the teacher. All too often students become demotivated and demoralised, losing faith in their instincts and abilities. Through sensitive tutoring I aim to reawaken an enthusiasm for learning in my students - to tap into their natural curiosity and resourcefulness to enable them to take ownership of their education and meet their potential. I have a strong working knowledge of different learning styles and teaching theories and am careful to tailor lessons to learners' specific needs and aptitudes.
I have a First Class BA in English from Oxford University and a Masters in Film. After graduating I worked with an educational consultancy where I helped to create learning materials for numerous children and adults, many of whom were learning English as a second language or had dyslexia. This sparked my int ... read more
