An Advocate and Resource. Achieve Your Goals in Writing!

I have taught English full time for two years, participated in numerous writing workshops, and been a fiction editor for CreateSpace Publishing and Pressque LLE from 2009 to the present. My editing work is not proofreading so much as working with authors to achieve their goals and improve their writing in areas of plot, style, character development, tone, and structure.
I learn best by teaching, and there is nothing I like so well as working with people to help them achieve their goals. Writing is, more than anything, a discipline, and I am a source of accountability, encouragement, and instruction as well as a sounding board for my student's ideas. Constructive criticism is essential to build students up, and I avoid all personal or harsh criticism, as well as praise not based in specifics.

Creative, energetic tutor with special needs experience

I homeschooled a gifted third grader, including administering standardized end-of-grade test, for 1 year. I have tutored homeschooled first and third graders in math, reading, writing, social studies, and art for the last 6 months. I tutored a 8-12-year-old with autism spectrum for 4 years. I provided respite for children with disabilities for several years. I have coached Special Olympics swimming for 11 years for teens and adults. I have informally given piano lessons. I teach exercise to kids/teens with diabetes and their families at the Kerr Family YMCA.
I like to get to know the student and individualize the tutoring to his or her learning style and interests. I can incorporate physical and creative activities into the academic subjects if desired.

Providing Tools and Skills for Supreme Success!!

I am not your typical tutor. Rather than doing rote exercises, I focus on methodically helping them develop tools and skills so that they eventually no longer need my services. I do quite a bit of advanced preparation, often with customized activities (that you are typically not charged for) and my time with your child is hands-on and engaging. My style grows their confidence and excitement about the learning process so they can leverage their strengths with new tools and skills to quickly advance beyond any hurdles that have been getting in their way of excelling in school or any specific subject area. I offer a complimentary consultation where ideally we can review work samples / testing results of your child(ren), discuss goals, concerns, etc. and have some time to meet your chid(ren) to learn their personality, interests, preferences and do some quick assessments as to their natur ... read more

Soar to Success w/ an Experienced NC & NB Certified Teacher

My teaching style is very flexible depending on the student. I select programs which best fits the student, rather than forcing a student into a specific program that I prefer. My expectations are high for each student. When the expectations are set high, students tend to reach to meet these expectations. Thus it "stretches" each child to reach their maximum potential.
I began teaching in 1976 in Tarboro, NC. My first teaching experience was in the middle school, grade 8. After that year, I taught fourth grade for 6 years. My next assignment was teaching at a junior high school grade 8 Language Arts, and grade 9 Basic English, and Diagnostic and Prescriptive Reading. This was followed by teaching middle school grade 6 for 5 years. After completing my Masters in Reading, I worked with the UNC-Chapel Hill Professional Development School supervising graduate students in Guida ... read more

English is one of my top subjects!

I am compassionate, enthusiastic, and highly experienced! I possess a professional degree with certifications, and have had over 7 years of experience working with students that have special needs. I serve kindergarten through adult. With my background in Education and my specialization in Special Education, I have worked with numerous children AND adults that have experienced academic frustration.

I combine tactile, auditory, and visual modalities to create a holistic approach that is tailored to your specific needs. I use multi-sensory instruction in everything.

Who Wants To Be A Francophone Too?

Well, I will adjust my teaching style to suit the needs of the student.
I began my French career roughly ten years ago. I knew that French would be at the very center of my existence. Therefore, I decided to dedicate my studies to the language. I even wound up living in France for over a year. I lived in Paris for six months and Montpellier for the rest of the year. It was one of the best experiences of my life; it truly taught me what it means to speak and to understand French, which is why I have made it my goal to aide others in understanding the oftentimes difficult language.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am semi-retired .....moved to North Carolina in 2006.... two children who are college graduates. One, a son graduated from Elon University in 2010 with a major in communications. My daughter is currently enrolled in a masters program at University of Southern california....i know the need for education in North Carolina. I believe so many students are sorely lacking basic english skills. I believe I can help them achieve their goals if they are serious and put the time in.I am available with a flexible schedule and can meet your needs. I also teach Sunday School with my wife and enjoy that environment.

Certified Teacher Looking for Tutoring Opportunities

I have been teaching a total of nine years. I began my career teaching kindergarten for 1.5 years in Maryland.

In the years at this title one school, I have taught first grade, second grade, and third grade. I also have four children at home that I work with, especially in reading, writing, and math.

Although I have never tutored before, I love working with kids and have always had a knack for school, which I hope will translate well into tutoring ability. I feel comfortable stating that I can tutor reading, writing, geography, and history through the high-school level, and any subject at an elementary level. I also have a good deal of experience with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Power Point. I have a little volunteer experience assistant teaching children's art and cooking classes, and some babysitting experience.

English is one of my top subjects!

I tailor my teaching to the learning sales and needs of my students, but I personally like to make my lesions Nd sessions as realistic as possible. If the lesson's goals allow for it, I involve reading, writing, listening, and speaking in an authentic way. I also try to begin lessons with a formative assessment to gauge prior knowledge. This allows me to incorporate the right amount of support at the beginning. As the lesson proceeds supports are lessened to allow the learner to practice and demonstrate the new knowledge or skill.
I am a certified English and ESL teacher with more than nine years of formal experience. I've taught students who range from five to sixty years old in a variety of settings including public schools, private schools, and community outreach programs. I was recently recognized as the Teacher of the Year for my school and district. Also, I've studied, tau ... read more
