Composition is one of my top subjects! I have taught composition for grades 7-12 and on the university level.

Student centered instruction is the approach I use in my instruction. That means that the student's needs and learning style direct the way the information will be delivered and activities that will guide the learning. Students learn best by doing, so I only lecture for small amounts of time.
I have taught for 12 years in both a private and public school in Greenville, SC. I am currently teaching at Anderson University but in the classroom and on-line. In grades 7-12 I have taught English literature and writing as well as drama courses. At Anderson University I teach English 101, 102, and 205.

Teacher Who Can Teach Any Student!

I do not ever yell or scare my students into behaving the way I have seen many teachers do. With many students this does not work. I respect my students and in turn they respect me. This creates an atmosphere where students want to behave for me.
Taught in Greenwood and Greenville county schools 12 years. I taught reading recovery, resource, and self contained classrooms. Before that I was an ABA line therapist for students with autism. I have a degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Special Education. I am certified as a Elementary and Special Education teacher through the SC state Department of Education. I now own my own tutoring business Shining Stars Tutoring LLC.

As a mechanical engineering graduate from Penn State, I have vast experience with the principles of physics and mathematics. As a junior and senior in high school I tutored students in algebra and trigonometry. In college I tutored students in my own physics classes as well as volunteering my time as a tutor for engineering students in statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, basic electrical circuits, and heat transfer. I believe my tutoring experience up to this time has prepared me to be an effective and helpful tutor to help students reach their full potential.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is very hands on. I like to work the problems out with the students and show them how to do each step. I love questions and I love for the student to fully understand. I want the student to fully comprehend what they are doing. If not, they will never be able to do it without me there. Confidence is key and that can be achieved through repetition and a full understanding.
As a college student, I wanted to help other struggling students as well as polish my own skills. I decided that tutoring students would be a great job to earn money and achieve some personal goals. In addition, I played college sports so my students were other athletes. I have tutored students in math, accounting, finance, English, and various other business classes.

A Little Bit About Me...

I personally prefer one on one interaction for tutoring . I would first determine areas which need to strengthened. ThenI would emphasize these areas in the instruction process.Then I would assign work (exercises,problems,questions). These would then be reviewed to determine the students grasp of the material.These areas would be worked on until the student had an adequate grasp of the material. Accounting is a subject that is learned by doing.Certainally a student has to read the material,but actual hands on doing is where real learning and retention take place.Most of my tutoring hs been volunteering , but generally with minimal instruction those I have assisted have increased there scores 15% to 20%.

As an Furman graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree in elementary education and a MA degree in School Administration. My experience working as a school principal for two years has given me the opportunity to provide leadership on a schoolwide level and has afforded me te privelege of being able to shape the educational experience of the students and teachers at my school.
I enjoy working with students of all ages. I believe all students can learn given the proper time and methodology. I have spent twelve years in the classroom as a teacher prior to becoming an administrator and have taught students with all kinds of challenges and gifts. I am a creative teacher who believes in providing students with a hands-on approach to learning by creating engaging experiences with real world applications.

Although I believe there are many strengths in both NATURAL READING programs and in ORTON-GILLINGHAM approaches, I believe that the best teaching style incorporates a variety of methods and taylors them to the individual. I also believe in strong encouragement and measurable progress so that the student can map his own improvement and obtain confidence in his abilities.
After ten years of teaching English and special education (resource and self-contained classes), I have a renewed passion in helping students enhance their reading competency and confidence. My classroom experience and my recent training in Orton-Gillingham reading instruction have equipped me with sharper tools and diverse techniques to help students at any level to become better readers.

I have worked at summer camps for children ages 8-16 throughout my entire life, and love making a difference in a child's life. I am very patient and have a positive attitude.
