I truly believe that every student has the opportunity to perform well academically. While school comes naturally to some, others need someone to come beside them to help them learn. The best educators create an environment where students discover and explore. I will strive to create that environment by asking questions that allow students to come to answers for themselves. I also have the personal qualities that are necessary to tutor successfully. I understand how frustrating struggling academically can be. I can be patient empathize with students. I love seeing individuals succeed. Learning not only provides students with knowledge, but also can provide the self-confidence that will allow them to be successful in life.
As a recent graduate from Clemson University's Calhoun Honors College, I deeply believe in the importance of education. I graduated high school with a hi ... read more

I have always been a very driven and accomplished student, so I feel that I should use my gift to teach others how to become great students. My goal is to work off of the strengths of the students I tutor and build their confidence so that they will have a greater desire to learn. I am an excellent listener. I am also quiet and patient. I think that the best tutors show the students how to do the work, then give them time to try it on their own. I teach students to be able to become independent learners. I also focus on positive reinforcement. I have worked with children with learning disabilities and children from low-income homes and have helped them achieve their academic and personal goals.

I recently finished my BS in English Literature at Towson University in Maryland. In the years I spent at Towson, I built a portfolio to include samples of my writing. I am interested in helping others build their writing skills to communicate creatively and effectively.
I enjoy helping students build on their strengths and overcome weaknesses in writing. I believe the key to a stimulating composition stems from the interest the writer has in the subject. Equally important is technical aspect of writing. Using a subject of interest to apply the rules of writing is the best way to shake writer's block and increase a student's comfort in English composition.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of a prestigious University, I was challenged to get into the competitive program and motivated to earn a bachelors degree in the field of Graphic Design. I have always had a passion for art and literature. I have always excelled at writing and pushed myself to obtain a Minor in English. This greatly improved my grammatical skills, vocabulary, and time management skills. During the last seven years I have tutored students and peers in English. I have plans to attend college to obtain a MAT in the future in the hopes to become an English or History teacher.
I love teaching and am passionate about literature and art. I believe that all children have the ability to learn, and it's a teacher's responsibility to engage each student in the subject matter. I am patient, organized, and caring. My goal is to provide a constructive learning environment and have fun with the sub ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Originally trained as a teacher of Drama and English, I subsequently spent many years working in the theatre, not only in educational situations but also as an actor, director and writer. I am now semi-retired, but still enjoy working as a teacher, and I currently teach animation and drama. I would welcome the opportunity to do some tutoring in language skills.
I have always found that the first and often most important thing a teacher can do is find the obstacles to learning that we all suffer from and seek ways to remove them. These may be the so called "blocks" that may develop after negative early experiences, preconceptions about the subject, or simply lack of confidence. Replacing resistance with enthusiasm and interest, and then providing expert guidance can then lead to acheivement.

I will tailor my teaching to the individual student. One thing I've learned in my education program is that some kids learn visually while others learn auditorily, and so on. I believe in critical thinking; that is one skill that is lacking in school and in society generally. The task of the teacher, ultimately, is to get their student to that point, where he or she is challenging his or her mental models or basic assumptions concerning reality, with the tools the teacher has given the student.
I've been teaching informally most of my adult life. I earned a 193 out of a possible 200 on a Praxis test that covered content knowledge of my subject area (English literature), and 179 in a comprehensive middle school language arts test, and am enrolled in Capella University, where I'm currently pursuing a master's of science degree in K-12 studies. Teaching has been my passion for a long ... read more

I love English, and am comfortable with literary theory, paper writing, literary research, and topic evaluation. I like to share this passion with my students and show them ways to relate to the material they are studying. I enjoy helping others learn and showing them how to use their abilities to excel. I am easy to get along with and encourage students to view learning as fun and interesting. I am able to explain things in a variety of ways depending on the student's personality, age and learning style. I hope to share learning techniques that students can take with them in the future. Overall, my goal through tutoring is to show a student that with self-knowledge and confidence, they can conquer any assignment with ease.

My teaching style is one where I combine the approach that best suits the individual’s personal learning style with proven sound educational best practices. I have had successes with motivating students who usually do not like to read. I have been able to help them by meeting them where they are and then helping them to formulate and meet their own goals. I have high expectations of students; however, those expectations are tempered with a realistic assessment of what the student is actually capable of achieving. I find oftentimes that students are capable of doing a great deal more than they thought they could originally.
I am a knowledgeable, experienced and well-trained educator. Students appreciate me because I am firm but fair and down to earth. Co-workers and administrators have described me as caring and creative. I have become highly effective in teaching strategies ... read more

I love helping children improve academically. All children can realize success if given the opportunity and right tools. Realizing that all children learn differently, I employ a variety of teaching styles to help each child understand in his or her own way. I believe that all students deserve individual attention from a caring educator invested in his or her success, a belief that I encompass in my teaching.
I have 4 years of tutoring experience in a variety of subjects including reading, writing, math, science, and study skills. I have experience working with students of diverse ages and backgrounds, and enjoy helping these students excel in their education. I graduated from an Ivy League school with a BA in government with a GPA of over 3.8.

My background consists of more than twenty years in the accounting field. Currently, I work as a payroll, accounts payable and general ledger accountant for a nonprofit organization in downtown Greenville. Some people wonder why an accountant would have an English degree. Well, English majors make great accountants because they possess excellent analytical and conscientious problem-solving skills. Last year, I worked as an English and math tutor for the No Child Left Behind Program and was thrilled to watch my students improve two or more grade levels.
As a tutor, I find it very important to display compassion and patience as I help my students understand their subject. If the student does not understand a particular aspect of a subject, we work on that aspect until clarity is achieved. Each individual possesses his or her own, unique learning style. I have found that appl ... read more
