It takes two to tutor...and tango!

I am an English major at the University of South Carolina Beaufort in my final semester of study and will be graduating in December with a BA and a concentration in writing. Though I have never formally been a tutor, I have always been the person that my friends have gone to for help with composing papers, interpreting and analyzing passages of literature, and general study skills for how to improve their writing and/or reading abilities. I am a member of my university's varsity softball team, and I have helped a lot of my teammates on long bus rides to games delve into a passage of Shakespeare or see the beauty behind Wordsworth's lines. English, particularly writing, is something I am very passionate about, and I love being able to help others in any way that I can in that field.
I am quite flexible. I think every person learns differently and no singular method should be applied ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have nearly 7 years of experience in tutoring and teaching. I love tutoring and find it to be the most rewarding job. I love seeing individuals advance in their writing. I think my level of education speaks a lot. I have two Bachelor's degrees, one in English Language and Literature and the other in Creative Writing. I am also pursuing my Master's degree in Creative Writing with emphasis in film script writing. I am the chief editor of an online magazine that I have started, and have several years of experience in administrative and secretarial work that has required professional writing skills and techniques.

Prior to earning my J.D. from the University of California, Hastings and admittance to the California Bar in 2008, I received my B.A., Cum Laude, in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2005. My experience at Penn as a writing tutor for two years, enabled me to assist both University and high school students with organizing, revising, and editing their writing assignments in a wide variety of subject areas. During law school I honed my legal writing while working for two Bay Area District Attorney offices where I wrote several motions.
My time in the Ivy League and legal world has cemented a desire to help youth enter the professional sphere via strong academic performance. I am particularly interested in tutoring because it is, in my opinion, the process of making our future professionals. It is also a process by which I became a professional; one which I am gratef ... read more

I have always had a passion for teaching and have always sought in all of my past positions to implement programs where I can help enhance the performance of the department through various new hire and recurrent training. i always volunteer at my kids' schools for any programs where I can help educate the students in my areas of expertise. As a father of five kids both teaching and relating with kids have become second nature I recently walked into my seventeen year old daughter's high school and whilst walking through the hallways and visiting the various teachers I felt the burning desire to seek a change in career and become a teacher and I sincerely would love to be given an opportunity to do so.
I have a record of outstanding success in academics, I have always been at the top of my class and very strong and flawless grades in English and Literature as well as other subjects. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned a bachelor of science degree in Adolescent/Young Adult English/Language Arts Education from Miami University in December 2008. I then taught tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade English for six months, from January to June 2009. During the 2009-2010 school year I have been substitute teaching in both middle and high school. I am currently in a freshman English classroom for seven weeks while the full-time teacher is out on maternity leave and I will be in an eighth grade English classroom for seven weeks for another maternity leave until the end of the school year.
I enjoy working with middle and high school age students. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time teaching and I love helping students understand more in their English classes. I am very passionate about reading and proper grammar and get so happy when I see a student's face light up in understanding of a new concept. If ... read more

As a recipient of an Associates Degree Summa Cum Laude; I have and more importantly my students have experienced success within and outside of the classroom. Twenty-one out of twenty-four 4th graders under my tutelage increased MAP scores by over 20 points on average when the objective was just for 8 points. My proficiency in instructing in reading, writing, English Language Arts, and comprehension led to me being entrusted with conducting an enrichment program at my school over 1,300 students that led to me receiving 2 awards of Excellence of Service Award and Paraprofessional of the Month. My PLT scores were in the top 15% with 190 out of 200 that led to a Recognition of Excellence Certificate indicating this proficiency.
The type of instructor I am working to become and remain does not view teaching as a job but, views teaching as an ongoing mission. My job will be to ensure th ... read more

I firmly believe that I am a student-centered educator. My ego is not involved in what I am doing. Each child learns in a different manner. A teacher's job is that of finding out how each student learns and then developing lessons that benefit each student. The same applies to tutoring. It is my job to find out how this person I am tutoring learns. Then I get after assisting this student to learn as he or she learns best. Most people learn by doing - in some way. It is simply finding that way that is the key. In the past I have been able to get this done and my students have succeeded.
As the child of college educated parents who themselves were educators, I was drawn to education early in my life. I love to read and to help others to read. I have a Masters Degree in Reading Instruction. I also like to write. Wherever I worked as an educator, I always emphasized developing writin ... read more

I have been a camp counselor, tutor, coach and teacher. I have taught English in Ghana, preschool in Argentina and special education in the Bronx. I have taught and worked with children of all levels, ages and backgrounds. I am very strong in writing and communication, but have also taught math up to fifth grade. I have taught science and social studies up to fifth grade as well.
I believe all children can learn, but that all children learn differently. Having taught special education, I had a range of grade levels in my class. Very often the students would be spread out over three grade levels. Because of this, I am extremely good at tailoring my instruction to different levels and learning types. I try many different approaches to cater to different learning styles. Ultimately, I choose the method based on it's success and also how much the student enjoys it. Ultimately, the stud ... read more

I majored in English from a very good school, Wofford College, and used the skills learned in undergraduate studies during the Master's program in Public Administration at the University of Tennessee. I have used my language skills for grant writing in the public sector for years. I also taught ESOL students n Gainesville, GA as well as gifted middle school students in Hall County Georgia.
i match my style to the student. I challenge them without overwhelming them, and encourage them to build on their strengths. As an example, I frequently had to change my style with students of multiple cultures. I am very patient and easy going, and see the best in everyone.

A Little Bit About Me...

I always make the attempt to reach the individual, and praise each of my students, even in a classroom setting. I explain that I only know the person/student that he or she shows me. I have had tremendous success with, and great feedback from, my students. I believe that providing a positive, comfortable atmosphere, the student is better able to focus on the subject.
I seem to have worked in the education field from the very beginning. I started out in preschools, and most recently have been teaching at the college level. I have taught every age in between. I am very skilled at not only grammar, but also the elements of composition.

I enjoy teaching and working with students from age 4 through 40 and have worked with students throughout that range. I believe that patience, integrity and compassion are the best communicators to students, particularly in subjects they struggle with, and I believe that every student can succeed, if they are willing to make the effort. My goal is to adapt material and present information in the method the student can best understand and I strive for the flexibility to create a learning environment that is comfortable for each, individual learner. I am dedicated to providing the best possible learning experience for every student I work with, and to helping each student reach their full potential.
Since childhood, I have worked to help students improve their skills at reading, writing, public speaking or any other subject I could offer help with. In May, 2009, I received my BA in E ... read more

Hey there. I am a medical school drop out. I have my bachelors in biology, with minors in botany, chemistry and economics. I wandered through many subjects and interest in school. I have tutored fellow students in my undergrad and in med school. I have a good understanding of algebra, economics, chemistry, physiology and writing papers. I cannot tell you I will be the best tutor on your roster, but I have crossed paths with many students that were ready to throw in the towel and have helped them bring their average to a b level before the semester was out.
I do enjoy helping students with their problems. I have a technique of visualization. for example, which is the first example I use. I tell the student to think of a tree. in the seconds you think of a tree, you don't think of just the tree. you think of the roots, the trunk, the limbs, the branches, the leaves. then you think o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated with a Bachelors degree in English from the University of South Carolina. Throughout my studies, I explored various literature and produced many pieces of writing, both analysis and creative. After moving back to Atlanta, I was a Reading and Writing teacher at a successful education center in Marietta, Georgia. While being an instructor at the tutoring center, I had the opportunity to teach children of all ages. My role at the tutoring center led me to my pursuit of a M.A.T. in Secondary English at Mercer University in Atlanta, Georgia. I will graduate from Mercer in December 2009. During my time as a graduate student at Mercer, I had many opportunities to participate in classroom instruction and classroom management.
I believe that a teacher should teach because he or she possesses a quest for learning, a passion for a particular subject, and is driven by a true c ... read more
