A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that the role of a teacher is to capture the curiosity of students by providing them with lessons and activities that require them to think outside of the box. Such activities should be hands-on and encourage the students to use their senses. I agree with John Dewey, the famous education philosopher, who believes that it is beneficial when teachers use experiential learning because it engages students and presents them with direct experience and focused reflection, which in turn, increases knowledge, develops skills, and clarifies values. I believe that when teachers provide students with hands-on activities, they have a better chance of becoming actively engaged in each lesson.
I am an energetic and dedicated teacher who strives to encourage students to go beyond their very best by creating a positive and respectful learning environment. I establish high expectations for ... read more

Read More About Yatanya T...

I really love kids and I enjoy working with them. Throughout my years of experience, I have worked with students of all ages, from pre-school to adults. I understand that each person has their own unique style of learning, and I pride myself on being able to reach each student.
I attended Whitney Young High School and began tutoring while in school as a part of my volunteer service with the National Honor Society. I continued to teach while in college, and in fact, worked as a tutor part time. After college, I moved to Japan for one year and worked as an English teacher. When I returned to the United States, while attending law school, I was employed as a tutor for the LLM students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a dance instructor for almost 7 years, and I have worked with children of all ages, temperaments and learning styles. I believe this flexibility and experience will make me a fantastic tutor, as I can adapt to the various needs of different students. I believe that students should learn through experience. I also strongly believe that every student should be given a chance for a wonderful education and not left behind simply because they are not understanding as quickly as their fellow students might be. I am a very patient, friendly and compassionate person, and my goal as a future educator is to instill a sense of trust and respect between my students and myself to ensure the best possible experience for both parties.
Throughout my life, I have always dedicated myself completely to whatever task I take on. This quality has helped me earn a bachelor degree in Kinesiolo ... read more
