As a graduate with a BA in English Education, I received the most up-to-date and professional instruction in education. I specialize in secondary education but have tutored elementary students in reading as well as testing skills. As a high school English teacher I work with young adults every day in the classroom as well as after school in the tutoring program. While completing my degree, I also tutored students in basic psychology, history, and in writing labs. I have taken part in SCETA sponsored SAT preparation professional development courses to better prepare me in SAT tutoring.
With regards to my teaching style, I am a pragmatist. I believe that every student has the ability to learn if given the proper instruction, attention, and feedback. As a classroom teacher in public school, I try to create the kind of learning environment that will not only nurture creative and free t ... read more

I love teaching and working with all chldren.

My goal is to teach in a way that makes learning fun and exciting. Some children learn by listening, some by seeing and touching, but all children can learn. You just have to take the time to find out how they learn.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is diverse and dependent on the group with which I am working. I believe that different people learn in different ways, so I prefer to employ a wide variety of teaching methods in a group. With individuals, I tailor the teaching method to that individual's strengths. I believe strongly that anyone can learn any topic given the right instructional methods and enough time to process the information.
One year prior to my doctoral degree I began teaching at the University level. At the same time I was teaching as a substitute at the elementary, middle school, and high school level, while acting as Superintendent of the preschool education program at our church. Throughout my career I have chosen to work with organizations focused on collaborative scientific efforts across disciplines to discover cures for diseases, to understand the mechanisms behind those diseases i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been told often I am especially patient, which I believe is one of the most important qualities for a teacher to have. I know from experience that not all children learn in the same environment, so I would love work one-on-one with a student to help him or her to gain the experience that may be lacking. Each person has different strengths, and those strengths may not always be recognized in the classroom setting. Many students have unrealized strengths and abilities. My license is in English, but I also enjoy Math and History. I have a classical music background as well.
Upon my graduation from UNC Chapel Hill, I worked various jobs; however, I could not find fulfillment in what I experienced. I decided upon moving to Charlotte in March 2006 to go into Secondary Teaching in English. I gained an excellent education at UNC Chapel Hill and UNC Charlotte. I have one year ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Since high school I've been working with my peers to help clarify subject matter, as that was my favorite method of study. In college I tutored under-classmen in Spanish, chemistry, and political science. Since graduating, I've worked with college freshmen as a writing tutor and with middle school students to teach algebra and pre-algebra. I'm a very strong writer, and I've got a broad background allowing me to tutor in any subject through freshmen year to college.
My method of teaching varies with the subject. A spanish tutor and a chemistry tutor can go about things quite differently. I like leading students to find answers on their own so that they understand the paths they are taking. That method is especially helpful in hard sciences and math. In the liberal arts (poli-sci, literature, religion, philosophy, etc.) I like to work in the Socratic method. I'll challenge the stude ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a BS in Elementary Education and a MAEd in Curriculum & Technology. I am a K-6 certified teacher in North Carolina, and I have taught second, third, and sixth grade. In sixth grade I specifically taught mathematics. I also have experience as a teacher assistant in first and fourth grade. I have three years of experience teaching summer school to at-risk students, and I have tutored privately for four years. I am highly trained in mathematics, literacy, and writing instruction.
My philosphy of education is that children learn through real-world experiences and tapping into their interests will foster their educational development. Another key factor in helping students achieve academic success is assessment and observation of individual learning styles and multiple intelligences. Honing those positive features in students will inspire and motivate their learning to new levels ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Earning a degree in Communications accelerated my skills in writing through Journalism, research papers and Rhetorical studies. Additionally, writing is something I enjoy and practice on a daily basis. It has been a number of years since I have tutored a child however, I would like to incorporate my vocational experience as well as my collegiate studies into my teaching practices.
I would love the opportunity to teach grade school children. It was during my formidable years that I can recall a young lady who impacted my education in a very significant way. Additionally, I also have very fond memories of several children who I mentored through tutoring. My innate enthusiastic nature has facilitated a strong desire with the children to participate in the learning process in many unique ways. I gain tremendous joy and satisfaction through observing this process.

More About This Tutor...

Through my experience working with students, especially as a substitute teacher, I have learned that each student has unique and individual learning needs. Some students are able to retain and comprehend information when presented orally; others are visual learners, while some students work better by learning through example. My goal is to discover what learning style best meets the needs of each student and then utilize the appropriate techniques to reach the highest possible success rate. I am a patient teacher who understands the importance of consistency while remaining flexible. I also understand how frustrating learning can be to struggling students and try to make learning fun and applicable to everyday life. Students need to know that others believe in their success in order for them to achieve success.
Graduating from a liberal arts college, I had the benefit of studying v ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In order to be an effective teacher one must possess the ability to create an engaging, positive classroom that not only focuses on the major subjects but incorporate the arts as well. I feel that children learn in various different ways and incorporating different methods of effective instruction students will gain the knowledge they need to succeed. I will use new and innovative ways to instruct each and every child in the classroom. Teaching in an environment that possesses a positive energy as well as an active learning environment is the key to successful education. They will be able to incorporate what they learn each and every day in the classroom and apply it to everyday life.

I am able to assess and work with children based on their individual needs. All children can learn, and they all have the potential to succeed!
I worked as the artistic program director of a community based non-profit agency for children ages 3-18. I taught theater and tutored core curriculam to children in the after school program. I also created and conducted literacy and arts training for the resident Americorps Program. I was the director and artist for Wolf Trap Early Arts Learning, which is a program developed to teach early childhood instructors how to use the arts as a vehicle to teach core curriculam. I learned head start curriculam, and the Connecticut Framework in order to design relevant training.
