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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I evaluate each child during my first session to determine their learning style and their level of need. Once we establish that, I tailor a program of study designed to improve not only the current subject at hand but also to provide long term study habits they can take into their future learning experiences. I use various methods of oral, written and guided reading, memorization and visual learning to reach as many of the brain's centers of learning as possible to truly help the child retain the information long term.
I have a long history of tutoring experience along with substitute teaching at The Baylor School in Chattanooga from 2000 until 2008 and prior to that at various private homes for 2 years. I have a BA degree in Economics/International Studies/French from the University of TN – Chattanooga, a certificate in French from the Sorbonne in Paris and 23 hours in English fro ... read more

I really enjoy teaching the writing process.I love working with all children, and I firmly believe that all children can learn to become great writers when they find out what the discipline expects of them. I am very patient and considerate of childrens needs; as some are hands on learners, some are visual learners, some need a scaffolding approach to writing, or simply need to know organizational approaches to writing...so I attempt to meet the student where they are in the learning process and provide them the nurturing approach, and healthy environment. I seek to enable them to be confident in their abilities, and help them achieve their writing targets.
I have been teaching four years. I am a highly driven person and expect a lot of myself as well as my students. I earned a BA degree in English Literature, and a Master of Arts degree in English/Creative writing from Wayne State ... read more

Community Service professional with years of private industry experience. Excellent oral and written communication skills, demonstrated interpersonal skills, and proven community outreach expertise. Skilled in educating individuals, coordinating resources and taking initiative in projects. An integral member of any staff, able to effectively serve organizational needs in building alliances and achieving stated goals.
In my experience as a teacher in the church,I have worked with a variety of students from young to old, from very intelligent to the mentally challenged. Thus I have learned to be flexible. One style does not suit all. With one on one or a small group, the ability to change to fit the student population is extremely important. Especially with composition, it is important to help students be able to write about what they see and feel. I think I can do that,

I have a natural passion for educating youth of all ages and find joy in helping them succeed. No child is unreachable when it comes to connecting with them. The only true difficulty may be finding their learning style. Teaching is easy when you know your audience. Our country has put our youth in a state of desperation with regard to their level of education, desire to obtain higher levels of education, and the ability to compete internationally. I want to be a part of the solution in reaching our youth and reassuring them that they can still be and achieve anything they seek.
Education is the central focus of my everyday life. I have obtained a BS in Management-Health Care/HR and 5 Associate degrees in Business Administration, Administrative Office Technology, Medical Office Technology, Legal Secretary, and College Transfer. I have been homeschooling my son since 2006 and mentori ... read more

Successfully earning both my Bachelor's and my Master's, Magna cum Laude, from reputable universities only dimly begins to communicate my passion for learning and for teaching. Further, my experience has developed competencies in oral and written communication, social sciences and humanities, religion and culture, and foreign languages, most notably Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Finally, the opportunities to teach and tutor for four years included two years of teaching classical languages and two years of tutoring middle and high school students in language arts, social studies, and foreign languages.
Teaching is more than passing on information. It is a dynamic process of inspiring a love for learning and equipping students with the tools to learn successfully. It is important to provide students with structure, engaging activities and lessons, and opportunities to integrate and s ... read more

I am a native speaker of German who grew up and was initially educated in Germany. I have taught the German language for over 25 years in many different kinds of classrooms in Turkey, South Korea and the United States. I really like teaching people as they can easily be engaged in learning a foreign language and have made all their decisions about what they want to do with it. I hope my past experience combined with the fact that I am a highly trained and experienced teacher of German or ESL/EFL makes me a competitive candidate for any positions that arise.
I have good communication skills and a commitment to constantly improve my teaching by studying advances in pedagogy, learning technologies, and curricula. I try to use culture and the changing role of German-speaking countries in the world to engage my students in learning the language.

I try to be as prepared as possible when I teach. I try to have the clearest lesson plan possible. Once this is in place, I try to be as energetic as possible in order to engage the student with the material in question. Additionally, I believe that a teacher must remain patient with all students. If one is prepared, patient and passionate, then success is much more likely. I also try to always remain flexible and ready to adapt to the needs of the student or students. If possible, I try to get to know the student or students in order to have a better bond with them. I always respect students and expect the same in turn.
I began teaching at the University of Florida (where I earned an MA) as a Teaching Assistant for large lecture courses. I did have my own students whom I interacted with in a more personal environment. I taught philosophy there. Before this, I earned my BA in Engli ... read more

I prefer to engage students as independent agents in their own learning experience. While I recognize the need to provide structure, I also like to allow students the space to more openly explore new concepts and ideas.
Most of my experience has been with secondary and primary school students. I have tutored in the subjects of math, writing, reading, and Biology.

During my doctoral studies at UCSD, I began to tutor professionally as a way to earn extra income. It seemed like a logical choice for a part-time job as I had been helping friends with homework for almost as long as I could remember. Given my extensive scientific training, the vast majority of my tutoring experience has been in Science or Math. However, I would be able to tutor other subjects, such as English and Psychology as well.
As a tutor, I try to identify the learning strategies of my students and then build off of those. For example, if I notice that a student is a visual learner, then I will try to incorporate diagrams, models, and schematics that can assist the student in understanding the subject matter or solving the problem. If, on the other hand, a student learns best by reading, then I will provide step by step instructions of how to find answers to various pro ... read more

I know what it takes to teach and learn a foreign language because I am fluent in French. I was inspired by watching the great teachers that I had in high school and college. I have taught English as a second language, so I have classroom experience to add to my general knowledge of the language and culture.
I believe in letting the child set the pace when it comes to private tutoring. I would listen to child to learn what truly interests them and inspires them. I would then use this is my lessons so they enjoy the learning process. Children enjoy learning anything when it is taught in the appropriate way. I learned this very quickly teaching English to French elementary age students.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Theater Arts Educator, I have worn many hats. It never ceases to amaze me that each lesson I prepare for my theater classes also includes a grammar, math, science and history lesson too! Theater works on building one's self-esteem. I feel that self-esteem is a crucial building block for all learning. In addition to theater, I have taught public speaking, speech and debate as well as reading. I have experience teaching students of all ages.
I feel I am a quick and good judge of what style teaching helps a student learn. I am very hands-on and very willing to adapt my teaching to meet the needs of the student. I am able to explain things with ease. It want to help students build their self-esteem as well as their education.
