In the meantime, I am passionate about writing. I have been a writer for

Assists in a variety of musical areas I believe that every student learns in their own unique way and at their own pace. I try to cater to that thought when teaching and encourage each student to become his or her own teacher. I think it is important to have a strong fundamental base, but music is more than notes and fingerings. The study of music can give one the power to look at life’s problems through a different lens and give a fresh perspective. Now that I am out of school I see more clearly that there is never an ending point to education. All of those years of studying are not just to pass a test or earn a degree. The purpose is to apply the lessons we learn and create the best life possible. To quote the great Willy Wonka, "we are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams." I have taught private flute lessons for 10+ years from beginners to advanced and children

I have had the unique opportunity throughout college to tutor in various areas. I was very active within a vocal performance group and had the opportunity to assist in public speaking venues frequently. I got the opportunity to assist in a fourth grade classroom, emphasizing the importance of public speaking. I just returned from a semester teaching (English) in Seoul, South Korea. I have a passion for words, for communication and above all, for understanding. I am energetic and relevant. I feel personal wins when my students grasp an idea or concept I am trying to get them to understand. I choose to work creatively and effectively. I embrace challenges and love investing my life into the education of others.

I believe that I am a very good teacher. I love teaching and I love children. I am an encourager. I believe that if I do my teaching job well, the student will learn incredibly well and incredibly quickly. I believe that all children learn differently and the teaching must be tailored to their particular strengths and interests and be taught in a way that they can be the most successful. Students need someone who believes in them and their ability to learn. They need to feel that the person working with them is very much interested in them and their success. They need to feel safe and supported as they move forward in their educational experience. Again, I am an encourager who believes in helping all my students to achieve their own personal best! Upon graduating from college, I began teaching as a music teacher for one year and then a middle school band director for three years in Talla

I enjoy catering to various learning styles, and do so with passion and fun! If you have a student that is frustrated or bored with the classroom environment, and you feel that they have not received enough individual attention, I will help them succeed. I believe in education of the student as a whole, and will use your student's hobbies and interests to make things interesting and more applicable. I think that fun has a lot to do with a successful learning environment. With me, your child will be challenged to reach their fullest potential and think outside-the-box. I enjoy working with all learning styles, and have had training in working with many types of exceptional learners, including those with various learning disabilities, ADD and ADHD, ASD, blindness, and giftedness. I am certified to teach both music (PreK-12th grade) and mathematics (6th grade-12th grade). I utilized my posi

I have over six years of experience in corporate training, consumer sales, and delivering high quality service. I have developed and been the leader of numerous customer initiative programs. After the birth of my son I took time off from the corporate world to dedicate all my time to his early childhood education. Since staying home with my son to make sure he was developing correctly, I developed a sincere passion for childhood education. As a result I have returned to finish my bachelor’s degree in business management arts and am scheduled to graduate May 2012. I absolutely adore children and love watching them grow intellectually. I have a passion for teaching and thoroughly take pleasure in working with children of all ages and all levels. I sincerely believe that each child has the capability to learn and each child has his or her own personal learning style. I believe that it is my

I believe in short-term goal attainment. I first assess what the student feels they know, then look at what needs to be learned and from that I build a goal-oriented task set that should result in a learned skill set. I am also very good at thinking outside the box in order to get the skill set learned and to effect "true learning" as opposed to parroted learning. I taught college-level students in the classroom and in an aquatic environment for three years. I also taught aspiring instructors on an ad hoc basis during that period. I have classroom experience with high school children in a special education setting, involving an extreme amount of patience and a willingness to find different ways in which to impart learning on non-traditional students.

During my undergraduate studies, I was selected the Departmental Tutor for French language by the Converse College Foreign Language Department. I also taught an entry-level French "drill" class for four years throughout my undergraduate experience. For three years after my graduation from college, I worked with at-risk youth as a wilderness instructor, and also a behavior modification specialist. During my work with at-risk youth, I also tutored such subjects as science, English, algebra, and foreign language. Education is of utmost importance to me, and I believe that all children can learn, but some lack the study skills necessary to succeed in school. While in pursuit of my psychology major at Converse College, I attended various classes and seminars on learning styles. I feel that each child has its own potential, and if we as educators can empower students to feel as though they

The method of teaching I prefer is maieutic, i.e., one which draws knowledge from the student, rather than attempts to place it in him/her from without. To me, the process of asking questions and allowing the student's curiosity and intelligence to reach conclusions is far more effective than one-sided lecturing. I am endlessly creative, coming up with myriad examples to illustrate concepts. In 2006 I taught graphic design topics at Westwood College. In 2007 I taught the same subject at The Creative Circus (roughly equivalent to an MBA program for designers, writers, photographers, and art directors). In 2008 I taught in the design department for Georgia State University. This summer I traveled to a remote region in India to teach English. I have taught GRE prep for the past 3 years, covering the verbal, quantitative (math), and analytical writing (essay) areas. As a test prep teac

I'm a recent college graduate, soon entering into a Secondary English education program. I have extensive experience with academic writing and research during my undergraduate career. I have engaged in informal tutoring with my peers and have gained excellent writing skills in particular. I am particularly skilled with one-on-one communication and will be developing my teaching skills this coming year through the MAT program at Agnes Scott. I concentrate on each student's unique strengths (as opposed to weaknesses only) in order help students their own skills. Students must feel personally invested in their education, and I hope to be able to instill that in all students.

I enjoy helping student evolve by providing a different way of receiving information and simple follow up techniques to assure reception and retention of information. I have worked with children and adults and enjoy the opportunity to encourage a student who feel that all hope is loss. We can all do better when we have the support of someone who recognizes our frustrations yet redirects our attention to smaller areas of strength that we can build on. For the previous 12 years I have enjoyed a career in education. I have taught a variety of subject matter from Reading, History, Science, Math and even Spanish for grade levels ranging from Prek to 11th. I am currently certified in 2 states for Elementary, Middle School and High School grades for Special Education and Language Arts and History. Over the past 10+ years I have tutored both privately and for agencies such as princeton review.
