Testing Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Jekyll Island, GA

I believe in completing an individual needs assessment and designing a study approach around that assessment. I believe in constant reinforcement and reassessment. I also believe it is useful to utilize as many and as varied forms of instruction as possible (written, audio-visual, demonstration, etc.) to solidify a concept. Promoting thorough understanding rather than route memory and recognition skills is paramount. Over the years (as undergrad and graduate), I have tutored middle school and elementary age students in various subjects. I have also been a resource for undergrad and graduate health science students while serving as a graduate assistant (public health master's program). I proctored exams and held tutoring and review sessions prior to testing. I have two master's degrees, three undergraduate degrees, and experience as a paramedic, nurse, and substitute teacher.

I have a passion for teaching and as such opened a tutoring service that I ran for four years. I hold a Bachelors of General Studies from Valdosta State University and will graduate with my Master of Business Administration in May 2010. I excel at tutoring in English, sociology, psychology, mathematics, science, literature, and social studies. I believe the greatest asset to learning for anyone at any age is learning "how" to learn. I like to use modern techniques and ideas to creatively teach a child or adult a new concept. I am patient and unique.

The most important element of achieving success in school is self confidence. The way I help build that in children is by being extremely positive, supportive, and full of praise. I observe their behavior carefully to make sure they truly understand what they are being taught. When something is challenging to a child, I try different methods until I know it “clicked”. Another very important part of tutoring is communicating with the students’ guardians about their behavior or any stressors. When I know what external factors are affecting a child, I can be better prepared for our session. Throughout college I was a tutor with a Learning Center. I worked with children in grades K-12. At this center, we helped build reading and math skills individually and in groups. I was also a private tutor for a high school student. Together we improved her study skills and organization.

With my experience in teaching, I have realized that students are like snowflakes- all unique and they learn in different ways. I always pay attention to the different ways they learn and incorporate that into my lesson plans. As a tutor, I will discover the way your child learns to satisfy their academic needs. I am a firm believer that teaching is a career choice that involves passion for success. I have the passion and dedication that will make all the difference in your child's academics. Teaching, in general, has always been a passion of mine. I received my BA in Elementary Education in May of 2007.

The best teachers that I've had and that have made the deepest impressions on me have been kind, generous with their time and understanding, as well as observant. In my experience this has been the type of educator that I've tried to be. I feel that teaching is an exchange. Just as I have information to pass on I know that students do as well. Teaching is the highest of symbiotic relationships. Children have such a unique and simplified way of looking at things I feel as if I have the opportunity to learn something as well. Who knows if you will be that teacher that makes a profound difference in a student's life. We must approach each student as a chance to make a difference. From a young age I've always been interested in helping those less fortunate than myself. I've been a mentor, a tutor, a Peace Corps volunteer, and I've also worked as a Hospice volunteer.

A good description of my teaching style sould be very descriptive, and easy to follow. I break down the math into a series of steps, and practice them until they are mastered. For the students that have already decided that they hate math, I try to excite them with topics that they can relate to, such as sports, or cooking. We both make compromises, and I offer treats, or other incentives. In high school I served as a big sister, and that's when I gained my passion for kids, and the importance of educating others. That experience led me to apply for a service scholarship which I earned to attend Florida State University. In college I volunteered at a local elementary school, following a group of students as their tutor until I graduated college. This service led to the beginning of my teaching career in Broward County. I sponsored an after school step team, and served as a tea
