Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Dixons Mills, AL

My involvement in a Tutor/Mentor program at an international high school was an experience that was invaluable. What I learned is that education becomes a form of symbiosis. While I taught students how to peer review drafts, articulate ideas, pronounce words, read books; they actually taught me little bit about my own customs, values and beliefs, being an ‘American’ student. It is through teaching others that I learned how I taught myself. As a result of this epiphany, I am propelled to make a career out of a similar role, the role I had as a tutor, mentor, role model, and friend. My forte is in volunteer work, teaching and literacy; traits I’ve acquired both in and out of the University. With more than 3 years of experience as an assistant to the Dean of Graduate Psychology at the University of Saint Thomas, as well as my experience working for a Coldwell Banker/Burnet realtor, and my

I'm a firm believer that all children are different, yet, all are capable of learning. It is the responsibility of the teacher/tutor to identify the specific learning style of the students they are responsible for. Once this has been established, there should be a lot of motivation from both, teacher/tutor and the student. I practice one-on-one and hands-on strategies with students so that they may feel at ease, and to relax as they learn, and then I gradually allow them to become more engaged on their own. I'm very soft spoken and patient. I have made a difference in the lives of many students, and plan to keep on making a difference. I am a high school teacher of 25.5 years. I graduated from Mobile College with a Bachelor of Science degree, and from Alabama State University with a Master's degree, both in education. My experience has been working with students that are academica

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.

I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. For me, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students as I share my own passion for learning with them. These children are our future. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students not only to receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individua

I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology. As a Biology/ Pre-Med student, I have extensively studied the many aspects of biology, from general biology to the difficult areas of immunology and histology. While in college, I held the position of peer tutor in the areas of biology and some chemistry. With my future plans of becoming a medical student and eventual a practicing physician, biology is a large part of my learning. I am a true believer that learning is one the most rewarding and exciting aspects of an education. Being a peer tutor and having other leadership positions, I am aware that people are individuals and therefore will have diverse learning styles. Through my rigorous studying for enterance into medical school, I realize that the most effective way to determine if a student is truly comprehending a concept is to get them to "teach" or explain the conc
