My husband is retired from the military and my family and I have lived in many different locations. I am certified in elementary education and exceptional student education (grades K-12). I have experience teaching science and social studies to students in grades six to eight at an alternative school. I have also tutored students in psychology, reading comprehension, and math. In addition to my teaching experience, I have also worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse and a victim advocate. I am a very caring and compassionate person who loves to teach and learn. Furthermore, I want to get students excited about learning and to show them that learning can be fun. I believe that all students deserve an excellent education. I think that parents and teachers need to be role models for students. Although I am very detail oriented and organized, I have learned how important it is to be fle

I've always enjoyed the opportunity to explain things I'm familiar with to people who need it explained. That said, I prefer a teaching environment in which the student has the opportunity to discuss the subject, and I like to keep examples practical if at all possible. As an aspiring psychologist, I also understand the value of positive reinforcement for good work, and try to use it whenever I possibly can. As a student of psychology, I have always been interested in using my knowledge to help others improve themselves. My experience teaching academic subjects is fairly limited, however, for the past four years I have volunteered as an assistant instructor at my martial arts school whenever my sensei has needed the help, which has given me ample opportunity to work on my teaching techniques with a wide variety of students. Currently I am working with a group of younger children on their

As a proud graduate from Florida State University, I have earned a BS in Psychology, with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis, along with a minor in Criminology. While studying these disciplines, I have developed an extremely strong background in researching scientific data, a great repertoire of communication skills due to my multiple presentations, and the ability to properly produce exceptionally technical reports and proposals. I have used my wide range of knowledge gained from my various studies to tutor a now senior in high school for over a year, as well as helping others with high school to college level work in the fields of English, literature, psychology, music, math, and science. By having a strong background in an analytical approach to studying human behavior, I understand the process of not only how we learn, but also how to effectively teach. This specific training wo

I believe in a positive environment. All children have a potential to do well in school, they just need someone to take a true interest in them and be proud of their acheivements. Patience is the key. I received an AAS in 1984 at Alfred State College and was a nominee for Reatial Management Student of the Year. I worked full time and part time while obtaining my BA from Troy State University while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.

I approach teaching in a way that is very versatile and I am willing to adapt to accommodate a variety of learning styles. In general however I tend to back up and work on the material that the student already is familiar and comfortable with. Once some review on the known material has been done I like to begin moving toward the material that is currently being reviewed. The length of time spent in the "review phase" is completely dependent on the student's current situation. Some situations might require a mere problem or two in this phase, while others might require additional time understanding the fundamentals before moving to the more complex current problems. As a student attending Florida State University's Civil Engineering program I was required to regularly learn, understand and apply complex mathematical equations, and scientific concepts to both hypothetical and real worl

I taught preschool for 5 years and had a home day care center for 4 years.

Children are individuals and you must find their style of learning and be able to adapt your teaching style for that child. I believe that you must geniunely love children and teaching to be able to reach children. They can sense when someone really cares. I have a passion for learning that I believe translates to the children I work with.

My teaching style consists of being a facilitator and demonstrator. I like to encourage my students to use their problem solving skills with creative and active learning/teaching. I also like to encourage my students to take some responsibility for learning their material and asking for help or additional instruction when they do not understand something. I am always open to new styles and like to explore all areas of the teaching spectrum. Knowledge is power! I have over 10 years of tutoring experience in the areas of English, psychology, mathematics, and sciences. I also served as the Math Lab Coordinator/Lead Tutor at Wallace Community College, Dothan, AL for two years and volunteered at several after school programs to tutor elementary, middle, and high school students in general studies.

There is no feeling like the joy felt once a student grasps a concept you're trying to share. For that reason, I attempt to explain things in multiple ways. I also believe in honestly letting students know why and how their studies will benefit their future. Another thing I stand behind is students learning to also teach their new concepts once they have mastered them. My overall goal is to empower them to be thinkers, doers, and to expand their feeling of self-worth. My college experience in the subjects of Economics, Government, Language, Math, Science, and Social Studies was rigorous. After finishing undergraduate courses, I worked for a program that sent college students out to public schools to be Teacher's Aids. We were expected to help any students who were falling behind in a subject. The experience was so rewarding that after graduation, I took a position working with troubled s

I truly enjoy working with students and helping them find that "eureka" moment when understanding a new concept. I am patient and really easy going when it comes to tutoring because I understand everyone learns in different ways and at different speeds. My teaching method involves teaching by basic building blocks and then using many real world examples so that a student can understand how a subject applies to their lives. I deeply believe nothing in the world is more important to success than a good education. I am a Harvard graduate who has always sought academic excellence. I have a bachelor degree in Government and a secondary degree in Economics. I have a lot of experience in research and writing as my first career after college involved business planning.

I enjoy working with adolescents. Each individual has their own learning pace and I attempt to teach at a level where each person is able to understand and effectively learn. I believe that every child has the ability and it just takes someone to motivate to achieve a successful outcome. As a Prevention educator I have the ability to communicate well. In college I completed all required english courses. I have tutored friends in English and sociology.

As a graduate of a private college, I have always been driven to perform at the top of my game. I have received two Bachelors degrees in both English literature and theater. Early in my collegiate career I gained a position as a teaching assistant (TA) and taught a required first year course for 3 out of my 4 years of college. In this position, I noticed that a lot of writing skills were missing from first year students that I felt that they should hav possessed and created and implemented a collegiate level writing and researching workshop that the college still uses. In addition to my TA position, I tutored nursing students in anatomy and physiology and biology classes. I love teaching and learning.

My teaching style is positive, resourceful, and uses multi-media whenever necessary. I encourgae my students to seek their own answers and guide them on how to reach their learning goals. I combine learning with an increase in self discovery and self - esteem that stays with them beyond our present lessons. I believe learning should be presented as an ongoing, positive process that one never stops marveling at. My students know I believe in their successes which they enjoy reaching. I am a bilingual teacher/ therapist who has had wonderful successes in the teaching field. I have taught adolescents, and adults english, G.E.D., career planning, basic math, and social sciences.
