English and literature major. I work in the medical field but continue to use my journalism and proper grammar, as well as, use spelling and encourage the hobby of reading and comprehension to my own children. I believe that every child learns at different speeds and in different ways. My goal is to find the best way for each individual and continue to use positive influence to encourage growth and interest in reading and spelling. Every child learns in a different way. It is important to find a way to help them interpret and learn so they will stay interested and encouraged.

Throughout my grade school experience I never obtained anything below a 3.0 GPA. As a college student I have acquired a 4.0 GPA and feel confident I can assist with any educational needs. I have never made anything less than an A on any paper I have ever written. I have experience in all fields as I have already completed the basic requirements for my degree in Psychology. English, Science, and History have always been my chosen subjects in school. Math was not my favorite but with time and dedication I overcame any “additional” problems. I coached cheerleading for 5 years as I cheered for 16 years. I feel that experience alone has provided me with an adequate way of teaching. I understand what it takes to aid an adolescent in understanding their goal and exemplifying how to reach it. My goals now are currently bachelors in Psychology, masters of Theology, and doctrine of Divinity. I

Variety is good! I enjoy working with students of all backgrounds, personalities, and academic levels. I have come to realize that we learn differently. What works with one student may not work for another, so I try to stay as creative, open-minded, and instructionally flexible as possible. I have also realized that most students want to do their best but find it difficult with the distractions and hindrances of everyday life, so I strive to engage students' full attention though a variety of games, activities, and projects. What I love about tutoring (that traditional classroom teaching doesn't always offer) is that I am able to give my students 100% of my attention for the duration of the study period. Though I graduated with a BS in Secondary English Education, I have tutored and worked with students from elementary to secondary levels. From 2003-2008 I taught English and a littl

I would describe my teaching style as "motivating." I believe in encouraging students to perform their best at all times for all assignments. Effort is the most important ingredient to success.

Both my parents are educators and have instilled in me the fundamental importance of education. I enjoy working with children and seeing them succeed on their own terms. I am willing to work diligently to see a child meet his or her educational goals. I believe that a comfortable learning environment makes learning fun for a child and also makes material retention longterm. I also encourage critical thinking and personal relationships to the material. Having moved between English, History, and Anthropology during my undergraduate years, I've surveyed quite an extensive portion of the social sciences. I have earned a major in Anthropology and a minor in History. The workloads for these courses included several 50+ page ethnographic reports in addition to the basic course curriculum. I've previously worked with children at the Kids on Campus program at OWC, teaching Songham Taek

During and after completing my undergraduate and graduate degrees, I spent eight years as a volunteer tutor and three years as a paid tutor. I worked for Sylvan Learning Center in Melbourne, Florida and, most recently, as an AVID tutor for a school district in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have worked with students in grades K-10 in all subject areas. I earned my BS in Elementary Education from Eastern Michigan University and my MA in Curriculum and Instruction from The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Both, along with my hands-on experience, have equipped me to be a competent and attentive tutor. I have always loved working with children, in any capacity. Tutoring has not only combined my skills as a teacher but allowed me to work one on one with students in a way that is not possible in a classroom setting. I have had great success tutoring students of all backgrounds and ac

In the past, my classes have lasted up to three hours at a time. Thus, I have been forced to implement new methodologies in order to not only keep my students focused and interested, but continually learning as well. I incorporate fun activities such as creative writing and music into my lessons while still closely following the curriculum. I believe that education can be both entertaining and beneficial, just as I believe that all students are capable of reaching new heights of academic excellence. All it takes is a little bit of patience and creativity on both sides, the teacher and the student, to have an unforgettable experience. I have two English-related degrees from the University of Miami, Print Journalism and Creative Writing (Poetry Focus). Since graduating in 2005, I have worked as a teacher in South Korea, Miami Beach, FL, and here in the greater Pensacola area. My classes ha

I have always had a strong desire to learn and to teach. I work hard and I am diligent to complete a task. My joy is to work with children of any age to help them grow and develop and learn. I believe it takes love, grace and patience to teach a child. The student must not only be expected to learn from the tutor, but the tutor must also learn from the student. Learning can be made enjoyable when a teacher has an encouraging spirit and does not give up on their student. I believe that any child's capacity to learn is no different than my capacity to learn, however his or her learning style may be different than mine. I desire to teach and learn and to positively impact my student's life. I have a BA in Philosophy/Religious Studies and I also studied Environmental Science with over 40 credit hours. Due to this wide range of studies, I have strong skills in both reading and writing, as wel
