EXPERT TUTOR-MultiSubject; Home/ONLINE; +WRITING instructor

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must ... read more

My comments on tutoring Geography : Highly qualified k-8

Constructivist, multi-sensory, inquiry-based.
For 20 years I worked for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, as a fifth through 7th Grade classroom teacher. I taught all of the academic subjects in various combinations, sometimes all at once to a self-contained class. The State of Tennessee recognized me as "Highly Qualified" in all subjects, from Kindergarten through 8th Grade. I served on the district's math council for 5 years, helped direct the district's science fair one year, and worked extensively in the field of arts-based curriculum development. I also was trained in the IB curriculum, and implemented it for 10 years.

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently graduated with my Bachelors from the University of Tennessee. My degree is in English, but I have tons of experience tutoring in just about everything. The ages I have tutored most is older elementary, middle, and high schools as well as college. I can especially help prepare students for college and help them succeed in college. Since I am closer to the age of the older students, it is much easier for me to connect with the students as well as help them with their needs. Thanks for the opportunity and consideration. Heather

Giving students the tools to fulfill their life's potential!

I like to give students the tools and watch them practice using those tools for themselves. I encourage two-way communication.
I have been a substitute teacher and tutor for general education and special education students of the Williamson County School District. Before that, I was working with adults and students in a ministry environment back in Texas as a worship leader and music teacher. My education has centered around music, theology, and literature primarily (with a general exposure to various other sciences).

I love to work hands- on with children. I believe in meeting a child at their individual level, both emotionally and academically. I want to make my students believe in themselves in order that they one day meet their full potential.
After finishing my undergraduate work, I was a substitute teacher for 7 months. I then went on to Belmont University where I recieved my Masters in Education, which required a one year student teaching placement. I have also served as a TCAP interventionalist where I helped students prepare for the statewide achievment test.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching should be an engaging process between both the teacher and student. When students are not only able to comprehend concepts, but to fully explain the concepts to others, true learning has occurred. My goal is to strive for true understanding and to ignite a passion for knowledge that will fuel the learners for years to come. I believe that all students can learn and education holds the key for future success in life. I facilitate the learning process through the use of differentiated instruction and Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory. I believe in the constructivist model of education and knowledge seeking which focuses on a facilitation of the learning process and allows students to construct their own learning.
I have 7 years of teaching experience in the public school system. While certified in Tennessee and Florida in the areas of the social sciences (History and ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a 10-year plus educator with experience in Elementary Education and Early Childhood education. I earned two Bachelor degrees from Tennessee Temple University, BS in Elementary Education and BA in Psychology. Both of these degrees have allowed me the opportunity to teach a variety of elementary education classes, primarily in 3rd-6th grade.
I believe all children have the right to a quality education and, as an educator I have a responsibility to provide education and skills to all students. All children have a different way of learning, for this reason instruction needs to be differentiated. I believe that all children have potential and need access to the tools to achieve their goals.

My teaching style is facilitative. I ask a lot of questions and require my students to practice a minimum of 3 examples in front of me for every technique I explain. I have a fun style and enjoy watching the confidence grow in my pupils. The only child that ever lost interest in what I had to say was my own. :)
I hold two bachelor's degrees from Mississippi State University. Both degrees were award under an International Business Major. I have taught German labs at the University level and can teach math whether geometry, trigonometry, algebra or pre-calculus.

I try to communicate concepts in a simple and organized way and provide "shortcuts" whenever possible. I also try to keep in mind my own feelings and experiences as a learner of a foreign language (for me, Japanese). This helps me to be patient and understanding of the pressures and difficulties my students face. I use my own experiences as examples when trying to illustrate a point and give advice as a friend would. Hopefully this injects some humor and reality into my classes. I think I have taken my cues from the Japanese kindergarten teacher model, which is that of a big sister. I take responsibility for my students and serve as their role model; I am understanding and patient. I care about the progress of my students because in a sense they are my family and reflect back on me.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored many years in Calif., but have not done so since arriving in Madison, TN. I have Canadian credentials, but the JD enabled me to quickly acquire a college position in Nashville. I taught English, which is my major from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. I know I am an excellent tutor, having taken several children from D's & F's to B's and A's. I have a reputation for being a lot of fun, as I play both guitar and piano and am quick to arrange little ditties to help kids remember rules - especially grammar and punctuation.
I am a fun teacher and enjoy tricking students into learning. I have developed games, songs, and various devices which attract attention and result in learning, regardless of whether the student even notices. I have a knack for revising sentences or instructions to captivate attention which encourages the student to answer or start writ ... read more
