Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Preston, GA

My philosophy of discipline is simple: observe, take data and find the function of the behavior. When a student misbehaves in class there is an underlying reason. Every behavior has a function. The function can be to gain access to an item or person, to avoid doing the work or aggressive behaviors if they do not understand the assignment completely, medicine or personal affects (hungry, sleepy or thirsty). I also believe in “brain breaks”. My students take a break every hour to get up, walk around, listen to music and get the wiggles out. By doing this one simple trick, they are able to concentrate better and have an opportunity to get the wiggles out. I also have “my time versus your time”. Meaning “my time” is a time for the students to learn or pay attention while I am teaching. “Your time is your play time. If my time gets taken away then your time is taken away. It is a

I have a bachelor degree in Early Childhood Education which gave me the knowledge to lead students in succeeding in the classroom. I also have a Masters inn Education with a concentration in Psychology and Counseling. With this degree, I learned how to counsel children in different areas in thier lives. I have taught in early childhood for the past 7 years. I love teaching children. When we see a student struggling, a teacher should go to all ends to the Earth to make sure that student succeeds in the classroom. If students do not feel like they can succeed in the classroom, then they are going to fell like they cannot succeed in life. A teacher’s job does not stop once the school day ends. Whatever we do or say in the classroom stays with those students once they leave the school building. Teachers are planting seeds in these students for them to be able to grow in life. As teachers,

I have taught two years of middle school and home schooled my daughter. I have worked as a substitute teacher on and off for several years. My emphasis in college was English and Math so I feel very comfortable teaching either of these subjects as well as reading. My teaching style is flexible. Students learn in different ways and at different paces. It is my job to discover how the students learn and what they respond best to. For some subjects, repetition is very important and for others a clearer understanding of the concepts involved is more valuable. I like to start with small skills and build on them.

Education, regardless of learning ability, is a constant that shapes and molds the minds of many different age groups. As effective teacher, I am expected to educate students in a variety of ways. It is my job, as an educator, to create an environment that is richly immersed with learning, demonstrates effective knowledge, and teaches responsively. One important aspect of being a positive, influential, and effective teacher is realizing and understanding the different levels of intellectual development, understanding the acquisition of knowledge and how it is used, and possessing the ability to create a curriculum and instruction that can be useful to all types of learners. As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to teach a diverse group of learners, economically, physically, and mentally.

My teaching style varies based on the child's needs. I am very adaptable and willing to provide the best method of learning for each individual child. I am patient and pay attention to the child's attitude and non-verbal cues to see where I need to adjust my teaching, even if that means stopping the session for that moment. I believe that I learn how to teach from the child. While I hold a Bachelor's in English, I have learned more outside of the college setting than I have in the classroom. I have over ten years experience training and tutoring. I have had the opportunity to train individuals at my place of employment. I also have experience tutoring students one-on-one in various subjects ranging from English to Science and Math. I am currently in the Communications field where the majority of my work involves writing, editing, and preparing documents for training.

I enjoy teaching, it is part of what I was born to do. I enjoy teaching children and adults. I have always believed that all people can learn but at different levels and in different styles and the teacher just has to discover the "hook" that helps the student best in succeeding. I believe that it takes more than the teacher; it takes the student and the parents also. I do my best to try any tool available to enable my student's success. My track record speaks for itself. Ninety-five percent of my students have reached their goals and the other five percent shown improvement. I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education based on my own families background and my own. Because I was overlooked it gave me the desire to help those that seemed mostlikely to not succeed.

My passion is to teach and work with children. Although I believe that all students are capable of learning, I am certain that students learn in different ways. As a good educator, I am charged with the challenge of presenting the lesson so that it suits the students individual learning style. I accomplish this by providing a constructive approach to learning. As a graduate of Columbus State University, I have been driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a teacher's certification in Special Education. The certification, along with the experience gained, has enabled me to gain an understanding of the disabled and at-risk student. Over the past eleven years I have learned and employed various teaching strategies that have aided in the success of my students. I would appreciate the opportunity to help your student become successful as well.

During college, I swam varsity, an experience that taught me the patience and time management required to balance a rigorous academic schedule with the physical strain of a full-time sport. Later, I found that my personality and ability to work well with others was more helpful out of the water. During my 4th year, I coached the club swim team, and then moved up to assistant coaching the varsity team during my 5th year. I was able to understand the difficulties students were having and helped them with their work as well as helping them manage their schedules. There is no reason success cannot be achieved if given the proper motivation and the right guidance. Helping students be able to help themselves has been my greatest satisfaction. During high school I worked as a volunteer in St. Petersburg, Florida through All Children’s Hospital. Within the Bedside Buddies Program, I was able to

I also want to guide and direct students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make informed choices. I believe in motivating and educating the welfare of our nations children. Graduating from Fort Valley State University with two degrees in education gave me a sense of direction. I have a sincere desire to help improve the future of our nation's children.

Teaching is my passion and I highly enjoying working and educating others. I believe that teaching should be implemented with enthusiasm, love, passion and innovation. A child should be given the best learning environment that will facilitate exploration, independence and growth. Thus the child will develop a natural desire and motivation to learn with and without the presence of a teacher. My teaching style is that of a facilitator and demonstrator. With my collegiate experience, I have taught as a ESL assistant at school; helped special needs college students through reading and producing Books-on-Tape; and served as an ESL tutor for Inlingua. Indeed I have developed and perfected my communication and writing skills from writing research papers, laboratory reports, essays and public presentations of my work.

I am a firm believer that all children are able to gain knowledge by various experiences. I accommodate students’ learning styles through the use of hands-on activities, technology, and audio/visual stimulators. Sometimes things have to be broken down and sometimes they just have to be fun. I also believe that some students do a better job at mastering skills in a one-on-one or small group setting. My education and work experience prepared me for the position of Early Childhood Educator. I received my B.S. in Early Childhood Education from Albany State University. While attending Albany State, I was also able to obtain credentials as a certified tutor. I worked for two years before obtaining my certification as reading and language arts tutor while working with kindergarten through fifth grade.
