Certified Teacher with Years of Experience!

My expertise is teaching writing. If you need help with college applications, excelling in a writing intensive class, or just want to improve your writing skills, I can definitely help you. I taught in California for 7 years, and now I have been teaching in North Carolina for 8 years. I have taught 5-8th grade, but I am certified to teach English up to 12th grade. I have taught math, science and language arts and am certified to teach multiple subjects at the k-6 level.
I am very encouraging and positive. I will always tall a student what they are doing well before telling them what needs improvement. However, I will be honest and push students to achieve more then they think they can.

My comments on tutoring Composition : I was an English major in college and writing is one of my passions. When teaching 4th grade, narrative writing was one of my favorite things to teach, and it showed in my students' performance.

Tutoring differs from teaching in that "style" is replaced by method. Some of the methods I have used in the past are rhythm and music, neumonic devices, and of course, drill and practice. I have been told that I am gifted with presenting material in novel ways.
As mentioned in my earlier description, I have eighteen years experience as an educator. I have taught students of all ages from early childhood through college and non-traditional adult education. I believe in making learning fun and engaging by relating concepts to points of interest for the individual student.

Learning is fun. I promise!

I approach teaching creatively and encourage a student's involvement when creating their lesson plans. My background in psychology provides a unique perspective on effective teaching techniques for different personality types. Everyone learns differently and teaching should reflect this principle.
I studied Political Science, Psychology, Literature, and Creative Writing at Boston University. I have extensive research experience and am a skilled editor and proofreader. High School AP exams are easy if you know your material! I took the exams in the following categories with scores of 4s and 5s: Literature, Psychology, Composition, European History, and American History. I tutored elementary students in math and reading for a community service program during my time in Boston and still edit research papers for friends and acquaintances.

Composition is one of my top subjects!

I am a retired college English professor who taught several college transfer courses at the community college level. I also worked as a tutor for several years at the college. I hold a master's degree in Creative Writing and English Literature. My undergraduate degree is in Speech Correction. Currently, I am writing screenplays and making short films.
Because I have been teaching since the 1970s, I have extensive experience in several teaching styles and have a creative sensibility. I prefer to assess the student before making a determination as to the choice of learning strategies. I work well in a one-on-one approach.

A Little Bit About Me...

I make a point to have fun with my students, and my teaching style relies heavily upon real world examples that my students can both relate to and enjoy. I stand firmly against simply giving my students answers, but rather employ a strategy of leading my students to discovering their own answers. I find that this not only boosts my students' confidence in their subject, but also gives them the tools to succeed in the classroom during tests or quizzes, where I will not be around to help. And, most importantly, I never give up on a student, regardless of their initial ability. Through patience and creative problem solving, I have been able to help all of my students succeed and become independent learners.
I first started tutoring while attending NCSSM, a state funded boarding school for the "best and brightest" students in North Carolina. I went on to continue tutoring at NC State U ... read more

I have completed all courses for my Associates Degree and was a trainer at my previous position. When in high school, I was a college preparatory student and graduated with a high school Diploma as well as 12 Advanced Placement courses and completed my International Baccalaureate diploma.
I love teaching all grades and levels. The most important aspect of teaching is to know your student. Each individual learns in different ways, some are tactile learners, some are visual, and some are auditory learners. Incorporating all aspects into my teaching style assists the retention of the material. It also has to be relatable to the student, so we have to use relevant examples that they understand. All children can learn any subject if you can spark their interest. There is no better feeling than seeing the light turn on and the sense of accomplishment in a child's eyes.

I have over 21 years of experience in law enforcement. In each of those years I was required to instruct others in numerous subjects. Those years gave me a sense of discipline and motivation which I applied to my students learning experiences. During my lifetime, I have experienced a wide variety of professional exposures, and I did my best to master each one. This gives me a tremendously broad base of practical knowledge to impart to others. Currently, I am an adjunct professor for basic law enforcement training at Brunswick Community College in Supply, NC.
I have learned several teaching techniques, but the one that I prefer is the military training style. I tell them what I am going to teach, then I teach them, and then I tell them what I taught them. Finally, I require a practical application of the skills they have learned. Your child will find learning from me t ... read more

My educational background (I’m an Ivy League grad), high levels of achievement, work experience, mentoring and teaching activities gave me the skills to be an effective tutor. As a senior employee, I mentored new employees. As a graduate teaching assistant, I worked with college students in helping them understand complex subjects. At my daughter’s elementary school, I worked with students on improving their reading skills. My strongest skill set is in English comprehension, composition, grammar, punctuation and spelling. I can also tutor in basic math, social studies and biology. I have related skills in study tactics, test preparedness, research strategies, and using the computer.
For me, there's nothing better than seeing that light of understanding and excitement come over someone's face when they solve a problem (like math) or suddenly comprehend a subject they were having tro ... read more

Since graduating with my Chemistry degree in 1997, I have volunteered off and on within the classroom, mentoring and tutoring children of all ages. I have several younger siblings and children of my own, so I have taken the many opportunities to go in and out of the classroom as a classroom parent, after school program teacher, guest speaker, and mentor and judge for the Future City competition (an annual engineering competition for middle school children). My industry is nuclear. I have taken many opportunities to speak with students about considering the nuclear field and sharing my own experiences in the industry.
My teaching style is adaptive. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn. The approach to learning is what makes the difference. Being a mother, I love children and am very patient. I also know that kids have their own distinct personalities and I address each chi ... read more
