Read More About Tanya S...

I have been a Literacy Coach for 6 years. I am trained in a variety of reading and phonics programs. I have taught grades K-4, reading, and have tutored students Pre-K through 5. I have taught in Florida, Wyoming, and South Carolina. No matter where I have taught, my students have been successful, because I take them from where they are to where they need to go!
I make learning fun! I try to make it as practical as possible. I realize I may need to teach a skill in a couple different ways for the student to grasp it.

Certified Elementary Education teacher

I have tutored students for at least 4 years. I worked at an after school program while I was getting my degree and helped students in their studies. My passion is to work with children as most of the time I end up learning from them just as much as they learn from me. I would love to work with your child.
I like to meet the students first and then together we can work out a method of learning that is best for that student.

More About This Tutor...

I began tutoring as a volunteer with the America Reads program in high school. I continued volunteering with the Boys and Girls Club during college. After an opportunity to assist a professor in administering a freshman course, I applied to teach high school in Pasco County. I taught world history and psychology for one year before returning to school for my Master of Arts degree in History. I continued tutoring on the side, but spent most of my time assisting professors in the Department of History at Winthrop University as a Graduate Assistant where I edited exams and papers for undergraduate students. During the last year of my program, I worked with an SES program in South Carolina, tutoring both reading and math.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a passion for education and learning. I have always excelled in mathematics from elementary to collegiate levels. I LOVE math. I love to do math and I love to teach math.

A Little Bit About Me...

I tutor based on the individual's learning needs. I have encountered some that were visual learners ad everything had to be drawn/written out. I have also tutored students that can have me explain it and they grasp it easily. My teaching style changes according to the needs of the student because not every one learns the same. I do believe Accounting is a complex field and the student has to have an interest in the field to truly be successful in retaining what they are taught.
While earning my Masters in Accounting, I voluntarily tutored Undergrad students that were earning their Associates or Bachelors in Accounting. The students were enrolled in the local community college (Central Carolina Tech) as well as the University of South Carolina. I have earned an Associates, Bachelors, and Masters which all have concentration in Accounting.

More About This Tutor...

I prefer to use a hands on approach to education. I like to have the kids get engrossed in the subject matter by reading aloud and taking part in discussion sessions. It is my belief that all children have the capacity to succeed in school with the proper tools. The tools that I provide are first and foremost, respecting the students without any bias. Secondly, I have worked with and have the capability of working with children of all ages. This allows me to relate to and effectively educate all students. A competent teacher makes a lasting impact in a child’s life which is why my favorite quote is as follows. "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." ----Henry Adams-----
I am adamant to maintain a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a B.A. degree in history and an M.A. in secondary education with a concentration in social studi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love to help others to get ahead in life. I am a recent college graduate, so I can communicate effectively with younger students. While in school I worked full time and went to school full time, this has taught me how to use time management skills effectively. I have eight years of military leadership experience and I am currently employed by Wells Fargo.
Every student is different. It is up the instructor to identify these differences then tailor their teaching styles to what best helps the student. I believe that patience is the key and using positive reinforcement to create a positive learning atmosphere is the key to success.
