Geography Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Clinton, AL

I am a conversational teacher. I try to always start with where the student is at and build from there. I like listening to students and relating to them at their level and letting them draw from me all that they can take and encourage their learning. I believe the best learning takes place when students are provided the proper atmosphere in which to learn. Also, in order for students to be successful, they must be allowed to deal with things that interest them and that serve more needs than just to fulfill an assignment, so I try to keep it relevant, customized, and, of course, as much fun as possible! I have a very long history in school -- I have been in and out of school for many, many years, staggering my diploma, bachelor's, master's and doctorate across 25 years interspersed with jobs in industry. I believe learning is a lifelong process and that it never ends! I have a diploma in

As a recent graduate from the University of Alabama, I have possessed a passion for learning in hopes to become a doctor. I have earned a BS in Biology and a MS in Human Environmental Science.

I have had numerous experiences teaching over the past few years through my degree program at the University of Alabama. As part of my clinical experiences, I have taught in middle school and high school History and Social Studies classrooms. Last year, I taught for an entire semester at Tuscaloosa County High School in an advanced 9th grade World History class and an AP European History class. These settings have given me valuable experience in working with diverse groups of students with different learning styles. Also, my collegiate coursework has allowed me to gain valuable insight into composition and essay construction. My teaching style exhibits a very individualized, hands-on approach. Even in a classroom with 20-30 students, I attempt to understand individual learning styles and work with students on an individual basis when possible. As a tutor, my approach is not to use a stan

I have taught classes at the college level since 2004. These include U.S. History surveys, the Civil War, African-American History, and others. I have worked mostly with teenagers in these classes. Recently, I tutored high school students at Dr. Linda Pearson's Reading and Math Center in Birmingham, AL. I am very comfortable working with students to improve their reading and writing abilities. I try to set high standards in order to prepare students for future work. I like to ask questions which stimulate students to think about big ideas. I prefer to use Discussion-based teaching when applicable.

I received a bachelors degree in both history and sociology which gave me the credentials to teach Sociology 101 classes at the college level while attaining my masters degree, which I then used to teach as an instructor for nine months at two separate colleges. I am finishing up my second masters degree, and want nothing more than to share the knowledge I have learned with others. I am an active teacher, especially when allowed to create my own curriculum. I love to incorporate lectures with powerpoints, videos with discussions, and book readings with field trips. I think the best way to get young people involved in learning is to keep their minds thinking and never reach the point of predictability. The last thing people accuse me of is monotony or predictability, and it is this very quality that keeps then engaged and makes me a very likable and successful educator.

I am a very understanding and patient teacher. Teaching has always been my passion. I love all levels of education. I do not believe that everyone can teach. I believe that it is a gift. I love to see children succeed and become more confident in themselves. I especially love reading and writing. I am not interested in anything in the field of science. I worked in the public school system for about 11 years teaching grades 8,4, and 5. I worked in private schools for about 4 years teaching 7th and 8th grades. I did private tutoring for 1 year. I have tutored English 101 at the college level. I am currently in a Graduate Program.

I have a great joy working with children because most of them are eager to learn. Along with patience and proper instruction I am a firm believer the scores will be achieved without the child feeling diappointed. I believe through visual picture walks and other techniques children want to be successful and make their parents and teachers happy. Having the right teacher, and right attitude which I have both the tutor and parent along with the teacher can see a change. We must reinforce the education to have a productive citizen for the future. As a graduate of a small junior college I believe one on one teaching gives students the advantage over a large group because the child can receive the necessary attention for learning skills in reading, writing and math. Many children learn differently some are visual learners,some are audio etc. I have been instructed through various techniques

I enjoy working with all students. I believe the greatest experience is learning from the students. All children are unique and have different views of recieving what is being taught. I believe that it is my duty to seek ways to help that child reach his/her highest potenials. I demand high expectations and values from each student. I have a driven determination in providing my best to each student. I may not reach all as desired but, it is my goal to provide my best. I have two years experience as a special education teacher in an inclusive setting and as a resource teacher. I am very compassionate about helping students to achieve and to believe that " if anybody else can do it, I can do it to." I have tutored in my church tutorial program and for the Metropolitian Certified Teachers Program; where we provided services for struggling students to improve their scores on the SAT

I enjoy teaching people of all ages and making the students comfortable helps them remember alot of the material a teacher goes over. So first I like to get my student comfortable and then I start going over the material. I also like to make my class fun and also I like to put the information in terms that the students will understand. I have a BS degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology and with this degree I have learned about many health problems and what they do to the human body. I also learned about the affects of physical fitness on the human body and I also learned how to develop exercise plan for individuals. While I was in college I mentored with the Starkville, MS Boys and Girls Club and I also was a Asst. Pre School Teacher. When I mentored at the Boys and Girls Club I tutored kids between the ages of 11 and 16. I also teach CPR, AED, and First Health for American Redcross at t

I realize that each student has his own unique style of learning and I adapt to that style. This insures that we are speaking the same language and also insures a better understanding of the subject matter. I am patient, easy going and considerate. I believe in constant feedback from my student to insure that he and I are on the same page. It is my goal to help him achieve the highest level of understanding possible within his capabilities. I have not actually tutored students as a professional, but I have a talent for helping others. For example, in my last full time position as a Product Manager for an insurance company, I constantly received requests from fellow employees for assistance. The various requests I received included, but were not limited to, for help learning specific software applications and assistance in completing reports. I have also assisted youths in their readi

As a soon to be graduate of the Counseling program, I hold education to the highest level. I have also earned a bachelors degree in psychology, which has given me an important background in my study of counseling. I have had a lot of general education classes which give me a broad area of study. I have never been a teacher, but I do have a younger sibling. I would like to say that although I have never tutored directly, I do have experience in helping others in many of their life areas including school. In becoming a counselor, I have had a passion for helping others for a long time. It makes me smile and gives me much joy to see someone else achieve thier goals. I am very flexible in teaching because everyone learns in different ways. I feel very strongly about education, so I would like to provide a comfortable and educational environment for students to learn at their full potential.

I have always enjoyed assisting our youth work through various academic endeavors. I have been tutoring grades k-12 for several years now. I have helped all ages with a wide variety of assignments. My teaching style varies based on the age of the student. I like to be a little more animated with my k-6 graders. On the other hand, with my 7-12 graders I focus more so on making a connection with the material--showing them how it relates to them.
