I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in accounting. I have very strong math skills, especially in Algebra, which is what my daughter is learning now. I excelled in grammar, art, health, and science as well. I was a teacher at a private school for a year after college before I started a family and began home schooling. My daughter is now in the 8th grade and tests at the college level in reading and high school levels at most other subjects.
I have a daughter in the 8th grade and a son in the 6th. I have home schooled them the past 9 years. They have very different learning styles which has helped me to learn to teach in different ways to accommodate their needs. I am patient and easy going and I love helping kids.

I believe that education should be a voyage of discovery for both the student and the teacher. All too often students become demotivated and demoralised, losing faith in their instincts and abilities. Through sensitive tutoring I aim to reawaken an enthusiasm for learning in my students - to tap into their natural curiosity and resourcefulness to enable them to take ownership of their education and meet their potential. I have a strong working knowledge of different learning styles and teaching theories and am careful to tailor lessons to learners' specific needs and aptitudes.
I have a First Class BA in English from Oxford University and a Masters in Film. After graduating I worked with an educational consultancy where I helped to create learning materials for numerous children and adults, many of whom were learning English as a second language or had dyslexia. This sparked my int ... read more

I hold a bachelor degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I majored in Elementary Education for two years before I switched majors.

I have experienced various types of teaching styles while in school. I have learned a long the way every student is different and learns in a different way. In high school and all even through college math had always been my hardest subject. My second year in college I had a math professor that had a different approach to teaching math and for the first time in my life I finally understood math! Findi ... read more

I believe that a great educator is a great learner. I am always up for learning new things, so that I am able to teach someone else my new skill. I believe in a hands on approach to learning. The more that can be discovered by doing is much more beneficial than just reading from a text. I am a patient and caring person who is dedicated to taking the time to make sure that your child receives the attention that he or she needs.
I have wanted to work with kids all my life. I love the way that they learn and think, and how different it is from adults. I studied Biology at Warren Wilson College in hopes of becoming a high school biology teacher. While at college, I did over one hundred hours of service tutoring and mentoring high school and middle school students in Buncombe County. Since graduating in 2009, I decided to take a break from school, and figure out where I wanted to go in ... read more

Throughout my graduate studies I have thrived in the studio. I have also gained experience teaching at a college level. My studies in undergraduate and graduate school have led me to my ultimate goal of being an art educator. Some skills I have learned include classroom management, building of syllabi, grading, creating valuable assignments, as well as proctoring exams. My passion lies within fine art and I am very privileged to have had such a wonderful education.
A teaching philosophy that I subscribe to is that the best way of learning is through experience. My assignments are designed to help students explore their creativity as well as teach valuable artistic principles upon completion. I am very well aware that different students have different learning styles. This is why my assignments are multi faceted and contain a variety of approaches.

I believe that the best way to learn is by repetition and not being afraid to make mistakes. This is especially important in language acquisition as many students are afraid of making pronunciation errors. I believe in making this practice and experience enjoyable so that both student and teacher can put in the necessary hours for real learning to happen.
As the founder and president of UNCA French club 2008 until 2010 I enjoy helping others with the French language. I am also a member of Pi Delta Phi, the National French Honor society's chapter at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. I now hold a bachelor degree from UNCA with a major in French language. This language experience makes me a capable instructor of English as well as French.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a liberal arts student, I was taught to pursue the bridge between science and understanding. My education has fostered in me an appreciation of learning, and a belief that comprehension is attainable through multiple avenues. If a student struggles by one avenue, then I believe it is my job to pave another. A student must be able to not only know an answer, but also understand how they themselves got to that answer. I strive to nurture a love of learning, and try to pass on that passion. I have ADHD and dyslexia, and as such have an understanding of the difficulties that a student can have when trying to learn. For some students, it is not enough to merely teach them, but they must be taught how to teach themselves.
I earned my BS in Biology at a liberal arts school. My education has given me a scientific training that is bolstered with an in depth knowledge of the humanities. T ... read more

I believe in listening and taking the time to figure out what works well and what doesn’t work for each student. I believe that people have many different learning styles and it is important to get to know the student in order to teach them well. I am very patient and comfortable with a diverse group of people. I also think that in order for people to learn, material must be presented so that the student can internalize the ideas and express the new ideas by reflecting on their life and their experiences. In order for many children to want to learn, ideas and educational materials must fit their identity so that they are not as threatened by them. Education should be fun; growing is a wonderful experience and children as well as adults can be re-awakened by it and motivated to be the best they can be.

A Little Bit About Me...

Having a clear set of expectations for students establishes a good learning environment. When a student has a goal to strive towards, borders are established and the spontaneity of my teaching style serves to keep my lessons lively. From my experience as an apprentice and from my tendency towards the hand made, I try to use physical examples as I teach in an effort to help a student retain information. Through experience we learn and I feel it is always important for a student to be encouraged to desire learning as a life long goal.
Studying art has made me a keen observer of both the the human condition and the world that surrounds us. There is a complexity in this experience that involves aesthetic decision making, technical applications of craft and an underlying philosophy that serves to communicate my ideas. Much of my knowledge comes from hands on learning and through appre ... read more
