My love of the French language led me to pursue my BA specializing in the language and culture in college. After college I immediately traveled to France on a very generous scholarship from Rotary Foundation. This permitted me to live and study at a very old and prestigious university in Poitiers, France. I also tutored the children of my host family in English to earn a bit of extra money for traveling. I learned Spanish while in the Army for the purpose of intelligence gathering. I was an avid student and easily acquired a high rate of proficiency in both of these languages. It is a pleasure for me to share my knowledge and skill with motivated students. Since I acquired language using primarily the conversational method, that is my basic approach to teaching. Of course there are the basics of grammar and syntax, style and such, all of which are necessary, but if you cannot open y

The importance of education has always been clear to me. I was born into a middle class family without a lot of resources. It became obvious to me that if I desired to pursue higher education I would have to qualify for scholarships and grants. I earned a bachelor degree in Mass Communication with an emphasis in Radio and Television. I was able to do voice over work at area radio stations. I wanted to earn a graduate degree so I applied to and was accepted into a gradaute program. I chose to study Education and Theology. I completed my degree in 1996. I have taught on both the high school and collegeiate level. I love to be in the classroom. I love the process of learning. It is important to understand that children learn at different paces and in different ways. It is important for us as instructors to recognize this dynamic. I particularly believe that we have a responsibi

As a recent CofC graduate attaining my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology, I have a vast knowledge of Biology and Chemistry courses. I also attained minors in Chemistry and Psychology. In high school I completed Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Biology, English, and Calculus and placed out of 21 college credit hours. With this experience, I gained knowledge about the arrangment and expectations of these classes and examinations. During High School, I tutored Middle School aged children in all subjects in an after-school program. Currently, I work as a Patient Care Technician at the MUSC's Children's Hospital. This position has allowed me to gain experience in communicating effectively and purposefully with children of all ages. I love working with children. I especially love teaching them about science and mathematics because I find these subjects so interesting. There are f

I have taught 29 years in public and private schools. I have home schooled. I have been a teacher evaluator and a mentor of first year teachers. I have been on the Berkeley County Teacher Forum. I have taken many in-services. The last couple I have taken were Math Solutions and Smart Board Notebook. I am Reading Recovery trained. I am working on a dissertation and hope to finish in December. I believe students need to be encouraged by giving them successful experiences. As a special ed. teacher I find that many of my students have experienced failure and it is my job to show them that they can learn and be successful. I believe all students are unique individuals who need a secure, caring, stimulating environment in which to grow and mature. I strive to create a safe environment that supports risk taking and invites the sharing of ideas while developing a deep love and respect for them

I enjoy teaching very much. My style is based on discovery method. I use a series of questions and hints to help the student probe the mind to find the answer that the student may already know. Learning needs to be fun and exciting and I try to make learning fun. I want the student to be excited and have a sense of accomplishment that the student has learned a lesson well when the lesson is finished. This sense of accomplishment is what will lead to further academic successes in the future and help the student be successful in later life. Currently I am the three to five year old Sunday school teacher for my church. I enjoy this age group because they surprise me every time with their knowledge and insight. They are an enthusiastic group who want to learn and share what they know. In the past I worked as a high school history teacher, I tutored another student in US History in h

I meet this qualification because I have had the opportunity of working with a diverse background of all type of students ranging from gang affiliation, developmentally delayed, emotional disturbed, attention deficit disorder, and incarcerated students. I have served in the position as an Autism Teacher, Paraeducator (Behavioral Management), Substitute teacher, Special Education and Regular Education. I also am currently a Chaplain Eagle with the Los Angeles County Probation Department. I have volunteered in this program since 2003 and worked with incarcerated juveniles from a spiritual perspective as well as academically. Within all of these positions I understood the background of what type of students I am working with and I would go meet with them outside of the classroom in their assigned probation camp dorms after school hours, so that I could get to know them as an individual

From my early days in High School, excellence in writing has always been a top priority. Throughout my teaching career, both in High School and University, I have asked from my students nothing less than excellence in reading comprehension and writing regardless of the specific course. I have taught in a variety of fields within the "soft" sciences, each demanding the ability to read with understanding and to articulate clarity of thinking through the use of writing skills. Each semester, the body of my preparation has involved reading students' papers, helping them learn to write/edit with a view of accepting nothing less than excellence, essential in creative and productive participation in the "real" world. My teaching style is basically Socratic, using questions/responses in order to explore and to understand the subject at hand. Active involvement by the student is important, as

I have tutored college students while obtaining my BA and my MA in Sociology. I was given the opportunity to tutor when a number of professors asked for my help. I also helped to tutor high school students while I substitute taught. While trying to obtain my MA in Ed. I worked with 8th graders when working on my student teaching. I have tutored on a wide range of subjects. Everything from basic skills to anthropology and sociology. My many degrees help me to understand the basics of a variety of subjects. I am curently teaching Soc 101 at TTC. I love working with both children and adults. I think that everyone has the ability to learn ,but teaching styles need to be geared toward the individual. Some seem to learn more through doing while others from lecture. Everyone has the potential to learn just at different paces. I believe that everyone has potential and it is our job as tutors and

As a recipient of an Associates Degree Summa Cum Laude; I have and more importantly my students have experienced success within and outside of the classroom. Twenty-one out of twenty-four 4th graders under my tutelage increased MAP scores by over 20 points on average when the objective was just for 8 points. My proficiency in instructing in reading, writing, English Language Arts, and comprehension led to me being entrusted with conducting an enrichment program at my school over 1,300 students that led to me receiving 2 awards of Excellence of Service Award and Paraprofessional of the Month. My PLT scores were in the top 15% with 190 out of 200 that led to a Recognition of Excellence Certificate indicating this proficiency. The type of instructor I am working to become and remain does not view teaching as a job but, views teaching as an ongoing mission. My job will be to ensure that all

My teaching style is extremely dependent on the individual student, and what their particular situation calls for. As someone who struggled at the beginning of their academic career myself, I am very sensitive to such situations. I take incredible joy in learning, and I believe that any student can achieve this given the right approach. I have earned my BA in English Literature, which gave me amazing professional diversity, as well as exemplary writing skills. These skills were indispensable during my postgraduate work in Archaeology. During a five year career as a professional archaeologist I have authored many reports and presented academic papers at conferences. I have a keen awareness of how to introduce new students to complex information because I've had the opportunity to participate in teaching high school students and undergraduates about field archaeology and artifact analysis.

I enjoy teaching very much. I think a strength trying to use a student's active content or prior knowledge to connect to material. My attempts are always to make the student feel empowered by the education process. If you can connect to way what they are into, either cartoons, hip-hop, popular culture, with conservative humor, then sometimes you can gain their understanding much quicker. In math I try to use a very simple, step by step process and continue until they "Get it!" I earned my undergraduate degree of History at The College of Charleston. From there I have been teaching various subjects such as math, Algebra, Geometry, World Geography, U. S. History, Economics, Government. I have taught in many middle and high schools throughout SC and NC. During the last five years I have tutored part time while I taught. As a published author, I have extensive grammar skills due to the vario

I graduated from the College of Charleston with a degree in Sociology. Almost immediately I went to work in the behavioral health field. While there, I found an ability to connect with, and build a rapport with the residents at the facility. After a year, I took a position as a Clinical Counselor at the Medical University of South Carolina, working with emotionally disabled adolescents and putting together "groups" or behavioral classes in the hospital. I have taken and passed PRAXIS examinations in the field of Special Education, and am now a highly qualified Special Education teacher. I have taught Special Education in three Counties, and absolutely love teaching. My teaching methods are rather basic. I respect the student, and I encourage the student. I have found that reward goes much farther than ridicule or punishment when motivating a student to believe in themselves, and thus exc

I have more than nineteen years of professional communications experience in the public and private sectors, and have excellent verbal and written communications skills. I have been involved with tutoring and mentoring programs in the past, and have been a volunteer tutor at my daughter's school for 4 years. Though I help tutor students in all areas (e.g., math, science, social studies, English, etc.), I consider my strength to be assisting with writing and English skills. I also pride myself with being able to "connect" with students, even those who are considered "difficult", because I strongly believe in positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement is the key. When a student sees that an adult is taking an honest interest in them, then they are not only more willing to learn, but more able. Telling a child "I know you can do it" instead of "you can do better than that" is imp
