I thoroughly enjoy teaching students at various ages and stages of development. I consider myself to be very creative, and I try to give the students as much hands-on experience as possible. I am constantly seeking feedback from the student in terms of how well I am presenting the subject matter, so my methods of teaching will vary. I am always open to new ideas. Failure is not a word in my teaching vocabulary. I will always find a way to reach and teach my student in such a way that learning and application are maximized. After graduating from Virginia Tech in 1973, I decided that I would enter the field of public education. After 6 years of successful and rewarding experiences in secondary education, I decided to return to college and obtain a Masters Degree in Education. Upon receiving my Masters in 1984, I taught at the post secondary level in both Virginia and North Carolina.

I am a Certified Public Accountant with over 30 years of accounting and finance experience. Although I have no formal teaching degree, I feel that I would be an excellent tutor. First, I have successfully trained many employees over the years. Second, my two sons, ages 21 and 19 graduated numbers 2 and 1 in their high school classes, respectively. Now, both are "straight A" students at the University of Tennessee. Here, I feel that I have lead by example. Finally, my personality, while being friendly and patient, is also that of a highly motivated "over achiever" who loves to help others. I feel that I offer the best of both worlds, a love of learning in an academic environment as well as real-life experience in the business world. I love teaching and helping others, especially children. I believe that there are "no stupid questions" and that all children can learn. I think that one of m

First and foremost, I love working with students. I believe all students have an ability to learn once you find the way to connect with them. I think the key is in finding that particular connection because each student is gifted in his or her own special way. All people learn differently, and I approach teaching with this understanding and appreciation of the differences in all students and their backgrounds. I think students benefit from a sort of structured guidance that sets them on the right path to learning the material but gives them the room and freedom to feel a sense of empowerment through their own discovery of the embedded lessons. I believe this sense of empowerment and the building of self-esteem through successful learning is a key factor in helping students reach their full potential academically and in life. In my educational and professional life, I have focused on achi

Ever since high school, I have always spent my time helping children doing their homework and studying for their exams. I really enjoy teaching children and over my many years of experience I have been able to quickly figure out how each and every child should be handled to be most efficient. I am really patient when it comes to dealing with children. I love to see the outcome of a children’s success after helping them progress. I believe every child should have opportunity and deserve the best education possible. I graduated May of 2010 from Guilford College with a BS in Business Management. In addition, I started my MBA program that has aided me to expand my knowledge in a variety of areas. Throughout my last two years of education, I have tutored students in mathematics, English, sciences and Arabic.

I have served moderate and low income students through AmeriCorps. My duties included running the after-school program in addition to helping student with their homework. I have also managed a multi-state campaign, and served as Vice President of an organization representing nearly 10,000 graduate/professional students. I am hands-on and usually try to relate the material to the students in fun/meaning ways. I feel that education is key to a successful working career. If students need help with a subject, then I am more than willing to help - either through students seeking me out or analyzing their work for areas that need additional attention.

My years of extensive involvement in school and community service activities along with my academic success have all played vital roles toward instilling my value of a higher education. Through out my academic history, I have always excel in the comprehensive subjects of English, from Creative writing merits to Advance placement courses throughout high school , to advanced electives in college. As a Business Management Major with an intended minor in Computer Science, I am well equipped with the skills of writing professional proposals, portfolios, presentations, and memos. I have acquired 12 college credit hours in English; only 6 hours short from converting them to an additional minor. I also have excessive hours and advance training in Microsoft Office components. I believe that a successful instructor is one that can appeal to the senses of the students through methods that tweaks

I graduated from Liberty University in May 2009 with a BS in Accounting. I am currently and have been a substitute teacher in Bedford County for the 2009-2010 school year. I have substituted for grades 6-12. I have been a football coach at Liberty High School for 3 years and I have been a track & field coach at Liberty High School for 5 years. I have helped different types of students away from school in various subjects. I love math and I am in the process of completing the requirements to gain a teaching license to teach high school math. I really enjoy being around kids and helping them learn new things. When you teach a kid something and they finally get it, the sight of their face lighting up is priceless. I believe that one should teach using a variety of methods because all kids do not learn the same way and each individual method shows something new each time. I believe that all

I graduated high school in 2003 as the valedictorian of my class. I maintained my high level of academics in college but didn't know what I wanted to do for a career. I graduated in 2007 with my business degree and moved to NC. I worked for a mental health agency helping children in broken homes with school work and being a positive male role model as well as taking pre reqs to return to school for my masters degree in physical therapy. I am currently in my 2nd year of PT school and have always helped others learn throughout my life. I love working with children and had around 9 different children for a two year period while working at the mental health agency. They ranged from 3 years old to 16 years old. I am patient when teaching new subjects and very empathetic to different situations and needs. I have always worked to do the best and be the best and make a positive impact alo

Hard work and dedication have paved the way for my upcoming graduation at Ferrum College. I am a double major in Accounting and Finance, which gives me some experience in tutoring both. Along with the many projects I have done in both subjects, I have been able to volunteer as a tax preparer for economically disadvantaged families and for the past two years I have had the honor of tutoring Accounting. My tutoring experience has mainly been with college students which I have become very fond of doing. I look to this an advantage because I believe it makes me better able to work with high school students since the high school students will learn at a slower pace than most college students. I am a patient person and I know that by pacing yourself a person can learn much better. I love for people to ask questions when I tutor because this lets me know they want to learn and I can better

Teaching through positive re-enforcement. Present concept, allow student to demonstrate understanding, and then use a step-by-step approach to find out where lack of understanding occurs. The instructor should always be as positive as possibe and try to make learning as enjoyable as possible. I taught Physics, Algebra and Trigonometry for a local high school. From that point, the bulk of my career was as an engineer, nuclear, mechanical and electrical. I have a number of years in Project Management. I also have four years of experience teaching at a Technical College, where taught College Math, Computer Science and Accounting.

I have mentored and taught students in different settings for at least 8 years. I have a BS in Technical Management. Basically I am a business manager that is also a computer expert. I currently work as a contractor for a company in Chapel Hill. I am also pursuing my MBA in Finance. My teaching style varies depending on the level of the student and also the students approach to learning. I mostly believe in an interactive way of teaching. I like this style because it engages the student and keeps them interested in what you are trying to teach them

What works for one student may not work for the other. One-on-one instruction is a great opportunity to find out which learning-teaching style works best for the individual student. I am patient, friendly and flexible. At the same time, I am driven to see tangible progress in my work, so that, ultimately, the student achieves his or her goals. Being a teacher is not a job for me; rather, it is who I am. Teaching is my service to others. If you looked over my resume, you would see that I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, a year of experience as an adjunct instructor at a medical career college and two years teaching English as a Second Language at a private institution. However, if you looked over my life, you would see that I have been teaching, tutoring and mentoring my entire life. I have volunteered as a mentor, a tutor, and a teacher in community organizations, in l

I love teaching and working with young people. I am patient, laid back, and use humor wherever possible. I seek to utilize real world examples to relate to the subject matter with which the student is struggling. I try to show support to the struggling student. I believe a few good caring teachers can make a world of difference in a young person's life. I have earned two bachelor degrees (computer science and secondary education) and an MBA with an emphasis in Accounting. I possess 8 years of total teaching experience, as well as over 16 years of relevant work experience in business and accounting. This has enabled me to gain superior understanding in many areas of business and finance. I have trained numerous staff members and subordinates in private industry. I believe teaching come very natural to me, and I love to see young people excel.
