More About This Tutor...

I am a pragmatic, conscientious, enthusiastic and energetic team-player, believing passionately in empowerment and particularly enjoy supporting others in their personal and professional development and the achievement of their full potential. My teaching style can be described as student-centered and experiential. The relationship between student and tutor needs to be one of confidence, trust and understanding – this is crucial to the learning experience. I believe learning needs to be fun and enjoyable and that this leads to greater chances of success. I have worked as an ESL tutor and mentored a student with learning difficulties.
My whole career has been connected with education and the successful development of individuals, teams and organizations. As Principal Training Officer I was responsible for the provision of the full range of training programs for 25,000 ... read more

Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or toddler a "functioning human being" until the child can speak. This is so inaccurate! I taught one of my daughters to read at age four.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a demonstrative teacher and leader. I believe in the theory of "model, action, and talk" style of presentation of concepts. My creative background lends itself well to keeping a student's initiative and inspiration to a high level so that they are actually motivated to perform at their best. My personality traits are that I am disciplined and a believer in seeking the truth. My personal goals at this point are to inspire other children to want to learn so that learning and writing are not perceived as boring and meaningless and that through writing, the student will want to continue past the assignment and invoke writing and communication through creative channels into their daily lives so that this becomes a "life-skill."
As a recent college graduate of Savannah College of Arts and Design, I have extensive experience with writing skills, leading and directing project based ... read more
