Dyslexia Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Littleton, NC

I have been providing tutorial services for more than 10 years. My first tutorial assignment was at Edgecombe Community College in 1993. I worked one-on-one with students that were having difficulty in College Mathematics, Computer Technology, and Chemistry. Within the same year I also worked at Nash Community College tutoring students in Electronics Technology and Mathematics. In 1999, I taught middle school math. Based on my college transcripts, which displayed my engineering math courses, I was immediately promoted to teaching high school mathematics. Most of the students I taught where underachievers, repeaters, or transfers from AP courses. The school’s guidance counselor recognized my ability to inspire and motivate these students to become successful. After which, I was given the opportunity to work in developmental mathematics. In conjunction with my high school teaching

I feel as though every child can achieve the impossible, and with the help of someone giving them the attention that they deserve and need, they will feel better about themselves as well. I want to get a child in a learning mood where they'll want to go to school everyday and learn something. I want to be an inspiration to them or a role model or someone they can look up to for advice so that they can follow in my footsteps as far as finishing high school and continuing education to strive and be the best that they can be. As an graduate of Elizabeth City State University, I have done exceptionally well. I learned so much through tutoring other students. When I tutored in the Business Department for Accounting and Finance classes, I gave some students hope, and some students even looked up to me. That they made me feel great and it really made me enjoy what I did because I helped a lot o

As a graduate from the University of the district of columbia with an associates in mortuary sciences I feel that I am well equipped with the skills to assist the students with science, mathematics, chemistry, and pathology. In addition, my bs in psychology has prepared me to help students in writing research papers, english composition, and problem solving. These degrees have served me well in the past. I would be very eager to pass these skills on to a willing student. I have a passion for teaching. It is my understanding that all children can learn. However it is crucial that students know that it is ok if they learn at a different pace from others. Through patience and compassion on the part of the tutor almost always results in a heightened level of confidence in the learning process as a student. Facilitating their performance in the classroom bringing about a higher self esteem a

My teaching style is geared towards the needs of each student. It is my belief that every child can learn, and that it's important to build on their successes and strengths. It is my goal to teach students how to use their strengths to be successful in all that they do, and establish connections between new information and prior experiances. Having grown up with a brother with a learning dissability, I was inspired to persue a degree in which I could assist people be successful and realize their potential.

During college I studied Electrical Engineering for 7 years where I gained an extensive background in mathematics and science while obtaining my Masters Degree. During my Masters program, I composed a 150+ page thesis, which refined my writing, organization, and research skills. During my senior year in undergrad, and throughout my advanced studies, I worked as a math and science tutor, where I taught all maths from algebra to Calculus 3 for the college. In addition, I also worked externally as a middle and high school math tutor. After graduating, I became a Mental Health Therapist for 3 years, where I assisted kids with behavioral disorder such as depression, attention deficit disorder, and adjustment disorder.

Teaching to me is about relating the information to the students in a way they can understand. It is very important to make the material relevant to their lives somehow. Therefore it is important to get to know your students and their hobbies and interests. Another key thing needed to teach is patience. You cannot expect them to race through anything. Everyone has their own pace. It is also important to make the information interesting and entertaining to some extent, Especially for younger students. Sometimes an educational game is just as good at getting the information across but at the same time engages the students and keeps them interested. I have been tutoring since I was 13 years old. Parents of my peers always approached me to teach their son or daughter. After I completed high school with a 4.0 GPA I was hired at a professional tutoring school. There I worked for near

For over twenty years I have taught at the college level, with extensive expertise in teaching the liberal arts to engineering majors. Much of my work is directed towards teaching research, writing, editing, and analytical skills. I have expertise in writing, editing, research, and most importantly, synthesizing information. While in college, I tutored for three years at a home for 'wayward' boys. My own daughter had some learning disabilities (auditory dyslexia) and though I would not take full credit for this, she is now a successfull first year college student (with a 3.75 average her first semester) and an avid reader. I feel strongest about my skills in teaching students who 'hate' school; writing; alternative ways of looking at math problems. I assume even the 'worst' student wishes to learn, has the means to do so, and will direct me in how to help him or her discover

For my first experience in teaching, I worked with both high school and elementary school students who were learning disabled and in need of help. I used the Orton-Gillingham method for dyslexia and found that it really seemed to work well to suit the student’s needs. From there I went on to work two years in resource rooms working with middle school and high school students in a one-on-one and group setting for intense tutoring. I am now working as an elementary school teacher and I miss being able to focus on giving my full attention to students one-on-one. My teaching style is adapted to meet the student’s needs. I firmly believe that each child learns differently. I think students either learn kinesthetically, visually, or auditorally, for the most part. I think it is my job as a teacher to find out which style best suits the student and adapt my style accordingly. I also think that

I am very passionate about teaching and working with young people. I believe that creativity, patience, and excellent communication are vital to finding ways to help students learn and understand what they are learning. I believe that building a good relationship while maintaining an effective learning environment is also critical. Ultimately, I feel I am a good teacher because I respect all students and accept them positively and unconditionally. While obtaining my Master's degree in Accounting, I worked as a Professor's Assistant which involved substitute teaching, research, and grading exams and homework. I have a natural ability in working with young people as well as exceptional communication, organization, presentation and people skills. As a Team Lead at IBM, I had many opportunities to train and teach others on computer systems, processes, policies and procedures, and many o
