Certified Special Education Teacher

I'm a certified special education teacher that has taught in MCPSS for over a year. I have worked with kids of all abilities and I would be thrilled to tutor your child and support them in the educational system. I have a library of resources to pull from while working with students. I truly understand about individualized tutoring services. When one technique is not working, then you search for another strategy. For kids with disabilities, you have to continually be thinking outside of the box.

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of teaching is more of a participant style. I enjoy when students contribute to class discussions. It brings joy to my heart when a child finds a task complicated and eventually succeeds. Many of the children that I have taught often call me. It is my belief, that as an educator I must be creative and see each child as an individual and not as a group. As an educator, I am responsible for not only teaching students but for coaching, mentoring, tutoring and inspiring young minds to achieve greatness.
I have taught both adults and youth. I was instrumental in assisting adults in obtaining their high school diploma and college degree. As a youth teacher, I was responsible for teaching students to read and as a result of their improving in this area; I was promoted to a teacher’s position. I have tutored students on an individual basis, and a result they were able to be prom ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked both as a substitute teacher and as a certified teacher for around 15 years. I have taught a variety of different courses. I was certified to teach all sciences grades 7-12. However my certification has expired. I have taught both in the private and public sectors of education. I graduated a member of Kappa Delta Pi, as an international honor society. I graduated with a 3.9 G.P.A. I have also worked as a tutor many times within my career. I also worked with troubled teens as a therapeutic foster parent. I have taught all sciences, math, English, literature, reading, history, geography, geology, and religion.

A Little Bit About Me...

My lessons are student-centered and driven by mastering basic skills, in an effort to acquire the skills necessary to take on more challenging academic material. It is my belief that children are subject to many advantages in today's classroom with the integration of technology and interactive learning. However, with so many children spending excessive time watching TV, playing video games, etc., it is difficult for the classroom setting to compete. I believe that tutors can help bridge the gap in information that students may have had during the school year.
As a current teacher in Mobile County, I have the adequate skills and training necessary to tutor students in grades 3-6 in math, reading, and science. I have two Bachelor’s degrees, a Master of Education and I am currently pursuing an educational specialist degree. During the last few years, I have taught 6th grade, two years ... read more

I had always wanted to be a teacher. I taught for 13 years in the Mobile County Public School System at one school. I then took time off to raise my children. I worked for 12 years at St. Luke's Episcopal School teaching English and History. My next assignment was with Cottage Hill Christian Academy for nine years. While there I taught English, U.S. History to juniors, government/economics to seniors, and psychology to juniors and seniors. At present I am teaching middle school language arts in an alternative school.
I teach to the student. That is I get involved with teaching to each student's learning style. It is important to offer a variety of teaching techniques and methods and provide motivation for each student. One on one teaching provides each student with the opportunity to reach his/her potential.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from the University of South Alabama with an Elementary Education degree in December of 2005. During this time, I completed my student teaching at Holloway Elementary School. During the year of student teaching, I learned to work with diverse learning styles, varying stages of development as well as a multitude of learning tools.
I enjoy working with children of all ages. It is the duty of the teacher to meet children where they are and help them develop skills in their unique learning style. Learning should be interesting; an exploration of their world. I am patient, kind and enjoy encouraging children in their potential. Every child can learn, it is my goal to give every student the best education and enrich their lives in the process.

The only tutoring I have done in USA is helping my wife with her Undergraduate Math courses such as Statistics, Calculus, Geometry and other related courses. However, I have experience teaching in my home country for over a year as an Associate Professor in Engineering College teaching Computer courses. Apart from that I tutored for more than two years in subjects Math & Science. I received highest student feedback in the entire College I taught, of clear understanding and excellent communication.
More than my love for teaching, I love imparting the knowledge that I have acquired over the years to students in simple palpable way. I believe I have the ability to break up complicated problems or concepts into smaller parts and explain them building up to help the student to have a complete overview. My teaching skill involves explaining every single step of the subject, as I feel th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am very passionate about teaching children. I am patient but firm, and focus on encouraging and building confidence. I am excellent at breaking down difficult concepts in a way that children can easily grasp. I do not approach teaching in a manner that pursues only a rise in grades or grade levels; I seek to impart long-term skills and a love of learning. A child that performs well during tutoring may still have issues in the classroom, which is why I strive to build a child's confidence in themselves first and foremost. Regardless of behavior or background, all children have the ability to become excellent students, and I will bring that excellence out of your child.
