Elementary Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Marion Junction, AL

I am a true believer that learning is one the most rewarding and exciting aspects of an education. Being a peer tutor and having other leadership positions, I am aware that people are individuals and therefore will have diverse learning styles. Through my rigorous studying for enterance into medical school, I realize that the most effective way to determine if a student is truly comprehending a concept is to get them to "teach" or explain the concept back to the instructor. If a tutee can properly explain the lesson that was taught, then it is a clear indication the student understands. Discipline is very important to me and I an advocate of always going beyond what is required because the latter reward will always be great. I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology. As a Biology/ Pre-Med student, I have extensively studied the many aspects of biology, from general

As the valedictorian of my high school class, I know that all children have the ability to achieve their highest level of education with proper mentoring, coaching and training. All children deserve a healthy start in school and life. I enjoy assisting children with English, research papers, reading and creative writing, and science. My preference is children who are in elementary to middle school. I truly appreciate helping children, young adults reach their maximum potential and become the best with the gifts they are endowed. I will meet them at their level of learning, assess their abilities and work with them as needed. This requires an assessment of their level of reading, phonics, and analytical abilities. A "good teacher and counselor makes all the difference in a child's life."

I firmly believe that all teachers need to do the following things in order to be a well-rounded and thorough instructor: * be acutely aware of the core concepts to be taught * have deep knowledge of facts * organize related features and skills * activate learners' prior knowledge and experiences * design lessons based on national and state standards * connect curriculum to other content areas * Always provide accommodations in order to meet the needs of all students * Work well with other faculty members. In order for a successful teacher to accomplish the above, it would definitely take more than just a "little bit of knowledge," - rather, it takes thorough planning, conceptualizing, and calculating to be the best. As a graduate student, I tutored 5th graders in Math at Montevallo Elementary School. Through this experience, I learned that all students are different and

I began tutoring students in 1984 while working in the math lab as an undergraduate student at the University of Southern Mississippi. After completing my Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics with a general science minor, I had the opportunity to teach college algebra as a graduate teaching assistant. I have been tutoring/teaching mathematics and some sciences ever since. I have experience tutoring students on skills needed for the ACT and for the Alabama High School Graduation Exam. I truly enjoy teaching math and enjoy watching the 'click' when a student begins to understand the concepts. I believe many students have been erroneously convinced that "they don't get math" or that math is too hard. I believe in not just working through the problems at hand but in trying to help each student gain a better understanding of the thinking process involved in solving problems. Althou
