Learning as an Individual, Believing in Your Value

Have worked with elementary age children and have tutored/mentored in the workplace. With many years of work experience with employees of varying skill levels, I understand what it takes to be a valued contributor and understand that students learn in very different ways. Creating a relationship with information that is meaningful to the student is the best way to help them learn a concept or process. Most learning focuses on information assimilation while I focus on applying the concept or process to a real work situation that has meaning to the student.
Discovery with emphasis on individual learning style - for instance tactical or visual instead of instructional - also have worked with kids who have emotional issues or self image issues that hold them back from learning - interested in working with kids who are in need of a someone who sees them as an individual

Learn real problem-solving from real-world experience.

I consider myself more of a facilitator than a dictator but I do expect my students to show initiative. My goal is for every student to succeed.
I have historically been a sketch artist. This talent led to me into graphic design for advertising. I later majored in advertising and worked several internships and practicums with a variety of ad agencies and publication, including Southern Living. Over half of my 24-year is comprised of creative management positions. Recently, I decided to get back into higher education to earn my Masters degree in graphic design.

I have a natural passion for educating youth of all ages and find joy in helping them succeed. No child is unreachable when it comes to connecting with them. The only true difficulty may be finding their learning style. Teaching is easy when you know your audience. Our country has put our youth in a state of desperation with regard to their level of education, desire to obtain higher levels of education, and the ability to compete internationally. I want to be a part of the solution in reaching our youth and reassuring them that they can still be and achieve anything they seek.
Education is the central focus of my everyday life. I have obtained a BS in Management-Health Care/HR and 5 Associate degrees in Business Administration, Administrative Office Technology, Medical Office Technology, Legal Secretary, and College Transfer. I have been homeschooling my son since 2006 and mentori ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and enjoy working with all types of students from remedial to enrichment as well as at-rist, non traditonal, and college students. I have a very interactive teaching style. I enjoy getting the students involved in the learning process. I encourage students to be active rather than passive learners. I also do my best to relate whatever subject I am teaching to the real world. In doing this, students have a better understanding of why it is important to learn such subjects as History, Algebra, and Foreign Languages such as Spanish. It is my goal to instill a sense of accomplishment, pride, and intrigue into the minds of my students.
As a graduate of an excellent liberal arts college in DeLand, Florida I am committed to academic excellence. With a Bachelor's Degree in History with another major concentration in Spanish along with a minor concentration in General B ... read more

As a staff accountant for a large, global corporation (sales revenue approx. $250 million/yr) I have very much experience in all areas of finance and accounting. I specialize in journal entry writing and reconciliations. I reconcile both bank account statements and account balances with my master bank reconciliation having approximately $40 million debits and credits monthly.
I love teaching and showing people how easy accounting can be and how much it helps you in real life situations. Most students get overwhelmed easily with double entry accrual accounting. I find it best to relate the material directly to the students personal life purchase and income habits. This way they can have a hands on approach and hopefully find the rules easy and helpful in daily financial situations.

I have been teaching since 1990. I spent one year teaching English and Women's Studies at a private high school. At the college and high school level, I have taught dance which includes writing about dance, dance history, arts administration classes and theory classes. I also have extensive experience teaching and tutoring ESL students in the US and abroad.
I view teaching not only as an extension of my creative work, but also as a continuation of my research of composition and performance. A good teacher is like a skilled composer, arranging and presenting ideas, crafting and shaping an environment where a student can best be challenged, and learn to challenge themselves. I teach in much the same way as I improvise; I bring to each class, indeed each student, an openness, compassion and commitment to the present moment. I am charismatic and inspire a joy and excitement about ... read more

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 while I am trying to help students develop skills in their weak areas, I need to be focusing on their strengths and building their self-esteem. I think tutoring gives great opportunity for me to achieve this goal.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My academic and professional histories champion my lack of formal teaching experience. Upon graduating from NC State with Psychology and Journalism degrees in December 2005, I was employed as an editorial and production assistant at a national consumer magazine; Child, in New York City. My roles were exhaustive of both skills I am trained in, and the quality of my writing and grammatical abilities improved greatly. I have been tutoring undergraduate students in writing and aiding with their writing assignments for roughly three years. Notwithstanding the fact that I currently am a research assistant at NCSU's social psychology stress lab, I am confident that my contribution to Advanced Learners' students will be par none.
I see the role of the educator as a pivotal element in not only academic success, but social and cultural success as well. Therefore my teaching skills often i ... read more

I believe that information accessibility should be emphasized and placed in bold. I would consider my style personable, compassionate, and driven to excel. I like to bring humor and discussion into the arena. If it's just me talking, how does it benefit the student if they do not feel they have the ability to rebut or 'think out loud?' New ideas and processes of interpretation are enabled in both the student and the teacher through a live and ever-changing dialogue. I realize that in the 'classroom proper' not everyone will have the 'eureka' experience. That is why the teacher must enable the students to make the connections themselves through collaboration, small projects, various 'out-of-the-classroom events/activities, and self-motivated inquiries. Once the information has been perceived by the student as important, he/she will want more to do with it. The information age has brought ... read more

I have an MBA with 14 years experience in various industries utilizing my financial experience and educational background. I have two children and have been very involved with their learning. I have taught computer classes at a local private elementary school and have substituted when teachers were absent.
I enjoy seeing children discover their own potential. I encourage students to become inquisitive about their learning and become confident in themselves. I provide the support while they explore new concepts and use them in their everyday life. I make learning fun by applying learning to the daily lives. They can use the concepts immediately and gain confidence in themselves.

I have graduated from North Carolina State University and earned a bachelors degree in Chemistry. While studying I have learned math and science as my forte but have also taken English, Spanish and history courses. I have written many reports in both my major classes and outside of them. I have been involved in many programs that help enhance children learning. I have worked diligently in the community specifically with underprivileged children to give them hope and show them that if they can believe it they can achieve it!
I love working with all children. I enjoy changing my style to fit the specific need of the child and helping them in the way they learn the best. I want to be able to help them learn to become independent problem solvers. I want to help them become an asset to the team even when they are in the classroom and I am not there to coach them through that prob ... read more
