Sign Language Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sunset Beach, NC

My philosophy on education is much like my philosophy on people in general. I believe in a very person-first approach to people in whatever situation I meet them, whether it be socially or educationally. Therefore, my philosophy centers around the idea that all students are unique individuals, with unique gifts, skills, talents, and styles of learning. All students, regardless of their age, need to be respected for their individuality in a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere. Such an atmosphere positively fosters the opportunity to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. As an educator, I see teaching as an opportunity for continual learning and growth. I am a certified teacher, with 25+ years experience as a special ed teacher, tutor, and homebound instructor for PK- grade 12. I have a B.S. Degree in Special Education K-12, an M.Ed. degree in Early

My teaching style is adaptive. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn. The approach to learning is what makes the difference. Being a mother, I love children and am very patient. I also know that kids have their own distinct personalities and I address each child as an individual person, with their own talents and ideas. There is nothing better than when a person's face lights up, young or old, when they "get it." Knowing you have impacted a person, potentially for the rest of their life, is a reward in and of itself. The pay that comes attached to it is the bonus. Since graduating with my Chemistry degree in 1997, I have volunteered off and on within the classroom, mentoring and tutoring children of all ages. I have several younger siblings and children of my own, so I have taken the many opportunities to go in and out of the classroom as a classroom parent, after school program

I am very patient. Before every lesson I review past lessons to ensure we are not building a castle on sand. I pass on to the student the ability to convey his acquired knowledge under test conditions. I try to make a difference in each student’s life. I hope to leave the student satisfied and happy at the end of each lesson and eager for the next lesson. A successful lesson takes away the student’s fear of his or her classroom. I take great satisfaction from successful tutoring. I earned my BA in Political Science and graduated from one of the best state schools in the United States, then went to law school and graduated near the top of my class. Both degrees involved large and complex amounts of reading and writing as well as excellent study habits. For the past five years as part of my job I taught reading and writing to individuals with developmental disabilities. I am the e

As a graduate from western Carolina University, I earned my BS in Criminal Justice in three years and am close to gaining my MS in Human Services. I have been working in the human service field as a case manager/community support worker. Although it is not thought of as a teaching job, I have had the pleasure of teaching children and adults basic skills, academic skills and assisting with homework. The homework assistance ranged from 3rd grade to highschool. I was able to assist one of my students with improving his reading score in a semester. I would like to think that my education and experience with research, reports and studies could verify my qualifications. I love everything about working with children. I believe that everyone can learn if taught in the manner in which they can understand. I believe a teacher/tutor should try to adapt and change their methods to assist and engage

I enjoy working with students, especially middle school and high school, and seeing them have a "lightbulb moment". This is the moment they finally realize that they understand what they have been struggling with. I pride myself on my ability to provide students with various learning experiences for all subjects. I believe this is what makes the most difference in gaining subject knowledge. I am a recent graduate of UNCW with a BA in English and a teaching certification in Secondary Education. Currently interning in the Wilmington area, I have been working with 9th and 10th graders in English, developing basic writing and critical reading skills. Over the last four years, I have also tutored in Algebra I, Geometry, History and Science for grades 6-12.
