More About This Tutor...

I greatly enjoy teaching and developing children of all ages. As a teacher I am constantly challenged to understand each student’s individual needs and to present the material in a way that produces the most joy and therefore increases material retention. I have high expectations for all of my students and make sure they know I believe in them. Filled with confidence and introduced to the right learning experiences, all students have the ability to succeed.
With a BS in Physics and a Masters in Business I greatly enjoy the challenge of academics. I have been a classroom teacher for over 6 years and have tutored students from Pre-K through college age in areas of English and math. I enjoy seeing my students excel.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from the University of South Carolina in 2004. I was a member of the Psi Chi National Honors Organization for psychology and received a Dobson Scholarship. I was included in the Dean's Honor List and Who's Who of Colleges and Universities. I have received Honorary Mention in poetry contests and have CPR, Wildland Fire Certification, and Emergency Training for Professionals. In my second year of college, I tutored children in English and history at the Greenville Community Center. As a graduate in Experimental Psychology, I have experience in writing and editing lengthy research papers. Previously, I was a Follow-Up Coordinator and Rape Crisis Counselor. During that time over a span of 7 months, I supervised and taught over 12 volunteers to respond to CODE 40's at the emergency room. Throughout training, I taught volunteers the mandatory information required for them to be cer ... read more

I have learned many different theories and ways of teaching, most of which I incorporate in my style of teaching. The ones I really believe in and use most are using a hands on approach using the ideas of inquiry and real life experiences in order to make learning the most meaningful and interesting. All children are different therefore individualized programs are needed in order for the child to succeed. I also believe that children learn both socially and indiviually and that it is important for children to learn in many different ways. To see that I have made a difference in a childs life or to hear them talk about something they learned from me, is not only exciting but makes me want to make a difference in as many children's lives as I can.

More About This Tutor...

Earning a degree in Communications accelerated my skills in writing through Journalism, research papers and Rhetorical studies. Additionally, writing is something I enjoy and practice on a daily basis. It has been a number of years since I have tutored a child however, I would like to incorporate my vocational experience as well as my collegiate studies into my teaching practices.
I would love the opportunity to teach grade school children. It was during my formidable years that I can recall a young lady who impacted my education in a very significant way. Additionally, I also have very fond memories of several children who I mentored through tutoring. My innate enthusiastic nature has facilitated a strong desire with the children to participate in the learning process in many unique ways. I gain tremendous joy and satisfaction through observing this process.

I find teaching a privilege in which students are able to feel confident that what I teach and recap is reliable and accurate. I plan to teach in a comfortable setting in which students are not intimidated but embraced with their desire to learn. Teaching individuals who are hungry to advance their knowledge and careers is my desire and objective.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Art and Design and have used my degree in the fields of Photography and Graphic Design. I am currently getting my teaching certificate for Art Education K-12 so that I will be able to pass my passion of Art on to others. In my spare time I enjoy painting along with some figure drawing. I have a website where you can check out some of my work www.lmpaintings.com. When I worked as a Photographer a lot of my work was based around school systems so I worked closesly with students ages K-12 on a daily basis. I also worked as an intern at an after school art studio for high school students when I was in college. So, I have had lots of experience being around students.
I believe in a very hands on teaching style. Learning form experience is the best way to learn. Especially in visual arts, the more you dive into a medium the better versed you can become in it ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an honors graduate from the University of South Florida, I grew up with a strong foundation in education. I spent my senior year of high school (when most people are occupied by senior year activities and proms) in college doing the Early Admissions Program. I graduated early from both high school and college with honors. During my college career, I held three internships - two of which were in education and the arts.
I am dedicated to enthusiastic and dynamic teaching as a means of creating and nurturing a lifelong love of learning for students of all ages. I will use a wide variety of teaching aids and implementation strategies to engage and enlighten students in active learning. It is important to encourage youth and adults to express their talents in a moralistic and life-changing manner.

I am a huge proponent of the dialectic and Socratic methods of teaching, while recognizing the need for the didactic to learn the basic methods of academics. My own experience, as well as my background in Psychology, helps me recognize that learning must be relevant, interesting, and conducted in a highly accepting and supportive environment. I am keenly aware of the sense of inadequacy of students who come to tutoring services (I have been one myself in the past) and make special care to make all my students feel that improvement is possible for anyone. The knowledge and strategies that high performers utilize are not exclusive; anyone can learn with patience and the right tutor!

As a cum laude graduate, I have always strived to achieve the high goals I set for myself. During my student teaching semester of college, I managed to obtain a 4.0 grade point average while I performed every teaching task that was set forth for me. Before graduation I was offered a full time position teaching third grade with Cumberland County schools. During my year as a third grade teacher I became well versed in differentiating my teaching style to meet every student's needs. My students consistently did well on both standardized and classroom tests. Their scores were consistently the second highest in the grade level. I was also kept abreast to the latest theories and studies throughout the year as I attended several staff development courses.

I have recently graduated from Kent State University. I have earned a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. I have completed over 1000 hours of field experience in various early childhood classrooms, including two semesters of student teaching. One semester of student teaching was in a Head Start Pre-kindergarten classroom in Akron, Ohio. My final semester of student teaching took place in a second grade classroom in Charlotte, North Carolina. While at Kent, I participated in two semesters of small math group instruction, as well as one-on-one tutoring over the course of eight weeks with a first grade child focusing on reading strategies and comprehension.
I believe that children learn best through exploring their environment and seeking out answers to their own questions. I believe curiosity drives a child's desire to learn and that inquiry based instruction allow ... read more

Teaching gives me a feeling of joy, and when I think back to my younger years and those days in the classroom I remember the teachers who made a difference in my life and I've always wanted to do the same. The reward I get from teaching is feeling like I've made the difference. I love to motivate and challenge students to learn, since I myslef am still a student the freshness of information and knowledge is at my fingertips.
As a substitute teacher and an aspiring full-time teacher I've been on a journey to obtain my Master's in Education. I have earned my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. While completing my undergraduate studies I was a tutor for the Omega C.H.A.M.P.S program, tutoring in mathematics. Upon graduation I assumed a position as an academic assistant in the Trio Upward Bound project. I have experience with students of all ages.

I strongly believe in differentiated learning. Each student, with the help of a qualified educator, should discover which learning style (or combination of styles) works best for them. They can then employ techniques to make learning and retention of information learned easier for them. I am a "hands on" teacher...research has proven that we remember what we have physically or manipulatively participated in. I have a great sense of humor, which serves to make learning a fun journey! And when I say journey, I do mean that the trip to the desired end location (tutoring goal) should be fun, exciting, and enjoyable! I do not pass judgment on any student; each student is different and worthy of reaching their full potential.

More About This Tutor...

I recently relocated to the Huntersville area. I recently graduated from UNCW with a degreee in Psychology with a focus on children. Since middle school, working with children has been my passion. I realized my dream after some of my cousins came over to America from the war torn country of Liberia and were having a very hard time adjusting. I was accepted to UNC Chapel Hill's Master's Program for Rehabilitation but declined after fearing it would take me down the path of working with the elderly instead of working with children. I have very extensive experience working with children at camps, researching at UNCW, tutoring foster children, and special needs with Lindley Habilitation services in Wilmington (mainly working with a client having Hunter's syndrome who was learning sign language, etc). I am both CPR and first aid certified. I have used all my knowledge of math (especially st ... read more
