I am a College Student studying English and Politics

I am a very firm believer that each human being has a different way of learning. I also believe that each subject has a different way to be taught. I teach based off of my students, as well as the subject.
I was a tutor in high school for many elementary and middle school aged children. I am also experienced with writing papers, so I can help anyone who is writing for a college application or essay. I am a very quick learner, so if there is a subject I am not as familiar with I am willing to study it to help a student. My goal is to help students understand the context being taught, as well as teach them the importance of this knowledge. I have often used the phrase "When will I ever need this?" and I have learned later on in life that each subject is important. This is the messageI want to get across to children, that learning new things is a very important aspect of life.

A Little Bit About Me...

All of my pedagogical strategies are dedicated to interweaving my professional and academic experiences with my innate passion for making history come to life while simultaneously empowering students with the tools to succeed in their lives, academically and professionally. In my professional employment as a certified paralegal, I often taught paralegal interns and new attorneys hired by our firm. I created materials on policies/procedures and, in the case of paralegal interns, an overview of the law practiced by our firm. I made the process interactive by using case materials to demonstrate the impact of the law on the client’s life, demonstrated how the law might impact their lives, and provided the opportunity for constructive feedback in Q & A sessions.
I use innovative methods based upon my own research in teaching the historian’s trade to guide and empower my students. I foc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my high school career I was frequently called upon to be a teacher's assistant. This was over fourth, fifth, and sixth graders the majority of the time. I also tutored a fellow classmate in Algebra q, chemistry and biology. I also currently have a job tutoring two sixth graders in math and english. They were at a third grade level when I began and are now into the beginning of fifth grade work. I have only been working with them for approximately two months.

A Little Bit About Me...

Education, teaching in particular, gives individuals the opportunity to give back what they have received. It is communication on a broader level than just simply putting forth information to whomever chooses to accept it. I started my career in education before I set foot on a college campus, through a peer-tutoring program in my high school. This experience allowed me to work with severely disabled peers learning functional skills for independence. Since then I have worked as an aide in emotional/behavior and multiple-disability middle school classrooms, as well as LD-resource, ED self contained and SC occupational diploma program. In addition I have earned a degree of distinction with the National Forensic League, been name a scholar-athlete in South Carolina and a host of other accolades in scholarship. I have experienced both urban and suburban school settings and have had inc ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all students can learn. I am a very patient and easy going teacher. I use humor to break the tention when the stress gets to high for students. I do however set very high expectations for my students. But they always seem to achieve the goals that have been set. I know they can work to or serpass their potential. Teaching students is the key to change in the world because we can only change through being educated. So I work hard for my students and expect the same in return.

I find nothing more exciting and rewarding than teaching a topic or subject to an individual and seeing the expression and excitement on their face when they truly begin to understand the material. I was motivated by several gifted teachers while I was in high school and I believe that patience during the process of teaching, coupled with conveying your belief to the student that they in fact can master the material is incredibly important and crucial to the success of the student-teacher bond. You are not just teaching a particular subject, but a 'process' that will prime the student for further academic growth in the future.
Attending and graduating from Davidson College, a small liberal arts college in NC, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry was an extremely rewarding experience. I found that the college groomed their students by emphasizing analytical skills--both ... read more

My teaching style is the same as my parenting style. Establishing high expectations and an environment where students are provided the academic tools they need, as well as care and concern, have been the keys to my success. I have learned that all children strive to please their parents, and their teachers when they know that the teacher is invested in their success. I also seek to instill an "I can do it" attitude in my students because many have struggled and developed a negative attitude about academics. The student and I work together as a team. When one succeeds, so does the other. I include parents in each success so that the student is supported across all settings.
Throughout my years of teaching I have taught students with a broad range of abilities and needs. At the middle school level I have provided instruction in math, English, science and social studies. In high sc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

What I have discovered about myself is that I learn differently from other people. I am the kind of person who prefers to set aside that assembly instruction manual and put together that Christmas toy by laying out the pieces in an orderly fashion. There is so much pleasure in problem solving. I learn by asking myself questions. I have little patience for mundane drills and memorization if they can be avoided. Each child is different. It is meaningless to say that a child is intelligent. There are many kinds of intelligences. Some children are more intelligent in memorization. Others are intelligent in solving problems. It is best to discover the child's strengths and weaknesses and adapt a program to each and every child.
I love learning and the precision arts such as mathematics. This has driven me to begin in a computer career. I spent almost two decades applying ... read more

During the four years that I spent at UNC-Charlotte pursuing my double undergraduate degrees I gained a broad array of knowledge and skills. I graduated in 2004 with a BS in Economics and a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. In both of my degrees I graduated in the top of my class due to my desire to learn and my dedication to my commitments. Through my studies, extracurricular activities, and my work experiences, I have developed a good understanding of various subject matters. Some of these subjects include finance, economics, accounting, calculus, statistics, computers, study skills, time management skills, and interpersonal skills. During my time as an undergraduate I also was involved in mentoring and tutoring freshmen and other students in various subjects.
I enjoy teaching other people because it gives me a feeling of success and joy. It is a good ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My background includes 25 years in upholstery manufacturing and also honorable military experience. I have worked for many years to complete my degrees, and they are very valuable to me. My skills include computer proficiency, grammar,math, and communication. I pride myself in having a well prepared plan for any project I am involved with. I have led major projects for my church such as the Call Committee to hire our new pastor and the Family Fun Day for our community outreach. I relate to young people very well and feel confident I can help with their studies.
My approach is to establish a relationship with small talk and introductions. A parent must be present at all times. I will keep up with the child's work load in the respective subject and also be in contact with their teacher. But my inital style will be repetition, which I found to be most productive during my time in the ... read more

I believe that involving the student with as much hands on learning as possible, helps them in being able to relate with and withold what they are learning. Also paying attention when there are areas of struggle for the student and focusing attention on them. I like to have fun while teaching in order to take some of the pressure of learning off of the mind.
I have had 7 years of life experience teaching both of my daughters and their friends about the world around them. I teach them about the basics of geology and life science including plant life. English and spelling. Also I teach them about the basics of freehand drawing. We work on line spacing and using geometric designs in their drawing. And using negative space in their drawings.
