Diverse background with ability to adapt learning

I believe that a lack of success in academic's is usually attributed to one of two things; a lack of motivation(it's not fun enough) or a misunderstanding of the fundamentals(which brings a feeling of hopelessness). This is particularly true in foreign languages. Many times a person must rewire their brain when it comes to learning a new language. My goal in tutoring is to help students not just fix a problem but create an overall understanding of what they are learning. I also like to focus on making goals and increasing motivation to learn. It is important to me to teach not only those skills but work on life values like respect, curiosity, creativity, and comprehension.
I have always been a very curious and academic person. I love to learn and like to pass that on to my students. It makes it easier because I have really lived a lot of the things I teach. I grew up ... read more

Ready to love learning

I currently work as a substitute teacher at Riverside Military Academy. I've worked with elementary children and teenagers extensively. My most recent position serves twenty and thirty somethings in their personal and spiritual formation. I have published my writing, acted on stage, spoken before thousands and mentored dozens. My personal intent is to explore life, discover new things, tackle hard challenges and inspire others to do the same. I believe in the value of the individual and don't believe one-size-fits-all.
Adaptive. I have a background in experiential education and believe that the method is not as important as the end result of having assimilated, understood, and taught back the information. I believe in creative learning techniques and hope to inspire a love of learning alongside the discipline of learning itself.

Creative tailored ways of learning based on students' needs!

I like to start the initial session by evaluation my student's strengths and areas needing improvement. I like to offer editing assistance and answer questions in every session. I like to make the tutoring sessions to be as relaxed and comfortable as possible. It is a learning environment, not a lecture classroom.
Hello! Thank you for your time. In the summer of 2002, I tutored children from ages 6-12 years at an educational camp. I usually tutor young adults, focusing on conversational English, as well as grammar and writing. In addition, I am an editor/consultant for many professionals in writing composition, speeches and presentations, and editing documents. Although my experience is mostly with older students, I absolutely love children and get along with students of all ages. I have a very creative approach to teaching English, coming up with fun and visual methods of u ... read more

young tutor that works well with children

I have 5 nephews and a daughter of my own shop I'm great with children. I was an honors grad and I also became a certified nursing assistant before I even graduated high school. I'm great in public speaking and have had many speeches myself with an audience of over one hundred. I do know the main signs as well as the alphabet for sign language because I have a brother and sister whom are deaf. Also I have always been great in mathematics. I keep an open mind to the various ways a student may learn because everyone is different.

I have over six years of experience in corporate training, consumer sales, and delivering high quality service. I have developed and been the leader of numerous customer initiative programs. After the birth of my son I took time off from the corporate world to dedicate all my time to his early childhood education. Since staying home with my son to make sure he was developing correctly, I developed a sincere passion for childhood education. As a result I have returned to finish my bachelor’s degree in business management arts and am scheduled to graduate May 2012.
I absolutely adore children and love watching them grow intellectually. I have a passion for teaching and thoroughly take pleasure in working with children of all ages and all levels.

I have a passion for words, for communication and above all, for understanding.
I am energetic and relevant. I feel personal wins when my students grasp an idea or concept I am trying to get them to understand. I choose to work creatively and effectively. I embrace challenges and love investing my life into the education of others.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a native Russian speaker and I hold a teaching degree from Russia with extensive courses in linguistics, philosophy, political ans social science and mathematics. I hold an MBA degree from Georgia State University. I pursued several opportunities to tutor undergraduate students in various subjects including statistics, finance, sociology and political science while obtaining my masters degree.

Understanding and learning quantitative subjects involves great deal of organization and regular application. Nevertheless generating child’s int ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I use positive motivation with my students, explaining how subject matter being covered should relate to them and their future successes. I try to link the subjects with current events and how lack of knowledge on specific subjects can cost them either financially or impact their health and well being. For example, when I encounter a senior who is not participating in class, I give them an employment application to fill out, explaining if they have difficulty completing it, they better join the class.
I graduated LSU and was commissioned as an officer in the US Air Force. I completed Transportation Officer courses on vehicle fleet management, commercial transportation, and staff logistics officer training related to airlift terminal management and operations. I also attended and graduated from the Traffic Accident Investigation and Traffic Control course. I have been a business con ... read more

I feel that teaching will not only inform young minds to think differently or make them more motivated to learn. But to allow one to master his or her knowledge in general, teaching allows oneself to fully understand the subject in their own minds. Young minds such as children are easily impacted by an adult, which I feel that that should be influenced with positive, enjoyable learning. Allowing a young mind to like learning or studying will allow them to become very motivated individuals in life. I will only strive to make a positive difference in a child's life and let them enjoy the simple discoveries of learning.
Being a Georgia Southern graduate, I learned to enforce high level thinking and appreciation of education. I received a bachelor degree in Civil Engineering Technology, which has enabled me to get a feel of hands feel in the area of math and science. With previou ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My training in Law School allowed me to be proficient in writing, as well as my practice, which included writing various legal documents including briefs and motions. As such writing and grammar are areas in which I excel. Additionally before Law School, I served as the Director of an Adult Education Program. In that capacity, I created the curriculum for the program whose focus was Reading Comprehension, Social Studies, Language Arts, Vocabulary Building and Spelling. Moreover, I am fluent in French and I have privately tutored individuals.
I understand that individuals' learning styles vary. As such, I try to adapt my teaching method to the individual with whom I am working. Generally, however, I combine using visual, auditory, as well as written tools to teach my students.

Even before I became an educator, I had the heart of a life-long learner. I believe I was called and gifted to be a teacher and to try to impart a love for learning to my students. I have a BA in English and French, and an MA in French Literature. In my 18 years of teaching experience, I have taught a wide variety of subjects (English, Spanish, French, Social Studies, Math) in mostly small school settings at both middle and high school levels. In addition, I have taught elementary students in various subjects. Much of my teaching has been in school settings which required individualization for my students, in effect, a tutorial model. I have tutored, as well, outside of my teaching experience.
My goal for all my students is to achieve success in their learning and to recognize in themselves that they are capable of that success. With that in mind, I seek to lead and guide the stude ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children because they have such a youthfulness that is full of life and ready to take on new challenges. I have worked in numerous leadership roles and One of the aspects I try to instill within the mindset of children, is that English is not as boring as they may think. I believe that if you capture a child's mind by relating the core subject to something similar they are interested in, then you can teach them anything. I want to show students a new way of learning through hands on methods. I am patient yet firm.
I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in English, with a Concentration in Creative Writing. As a student of Kentucky State University, I have explored my passion through words (i.e. Poetry).The Education that I've received from my University, allowed me to not only be successful in my field, but I have written over 100 Poems; which I'm in the process of ge ... read more
