A Little Bit About Me...

I have been in the field of education for the past 12 years. I am currently a 6th grade social studies and reading teacher in the Atlanta Public School system. I earned my Bachelors Degree from Mercer University and with this knowledge it catapulted me to continue on with my Masters and onto my Doctorate. I love the field of education and I believe that reading and writing are a fundamental association to life.
I believe in meeting students where they are and learning their particular style of learning. Every child can learn and it is my passion to pull out their distinctive style of learning. I am patient and very determined in assisting students to do their best in whatever they set their hands to. I do believe that achieving excellence and enhancing the learning experiences are vital for todays students.

More About This Tutor...

I've always enjoyed teaching. I taught in different contexts, worked with children and adults in classes, camps, and corporate training sessions. I taught French, dance, and worked as a tutor while preparing my degree. My ability to work hands-on and with labs makes it easier for any student to apply the acquired knowledge from theory to practice. My experience with non profit organizations made me realize that knowledge transmitted is always a plus. Anywhere in the world knowledge transmitted is a value acquired for life not only for the students but also for the teacher.
I'm a professional French business analyst, and graduate student in software engineering. I've been working as a teacher and translator with Fortune 500 companies such as Coca cola, Home Depot, and IBM. I also worked as a tutor in schools such as American International University. I graduated from France in l ... read more

My first goal is to establish rapport with my student. I want all of my students to know that I am approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. I have learned that students achieve when they are engaged in the learning process. My goal is to create safe, stimulating and rewarding experiences for the student who in turn learns by actively participating in the learning process. I see myself as a facilitator more so than a "teacher". I know that each child is different and has an individual learning mode. I am committed to helping each child to experience success. Accomplishment builds self esteem which leads to courage to try new and more difficult educational challenges. I enjoy seeing children reach satisfying goals.
I have over 20 years of teaching experience both in the USA and abroad. I have taught elementary grades K - 6th and multicultural students as an ESOL certified teach ... read more

Through my educational experience thus far, I have found the method of facilitating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I have learned that if students take part in their learning, they will retain more information and be more confident in their abilities. These methods prove to stimulate social, emotional, physical and academic growth. I love working with children and will continue to be a positive influence in their lives.
As early as 9th grade, I was an educator. I began to volunteer as an elementary tutor, and continued this role throughout my high school career. It was because of this experience that I attended college and majored in English with a minor in Literature & Education. In these areas I have gained many skills such as, essay writing, grammar knowledge, research and creative writing. I have tutored all subjects on the elementary level, k-12 special n ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Being a tutor allows one to reach out and find the most personal and effective way to connect and instruct a student. My exposure to the many learning styles of students has taught me the importance of first understanding the student's learning style. I also believe it is important for teachers to find motivating factors for students. Lastly, I believe it is the teacher's responsibility to make learning fun for each student. When in combination, these factors create a successful learning environment for students.
I have been working with children of all ages, from diverse backgrounds, and in a variety of environments for many years. I have been a camp counselor, swim instructor, piano teacher, and religious education teacher. I currently have been substitute teaching in grades K-12.

I find an interactive, Socratic teaching style in which I encourage the student to discover the answers on their own to understand why something works the way it does is a very effective approach for me rather than just lecturing, particularly for younger learners. I find it equally important for students to understand the why of what they are learning as well as the how and the what. I believe that students' multiple intelligences should be harnessed and that if students don't understand information presented initially, it is up to the teacher to find different ways of presenting the information so that the student can make it his or her own.
I have over 11 years of experience providing in home tutoring to individual high school, elementary school, and middle school students as well as adults for test preparation as well as for academic subject preparation. I have also had 6 ye ... read more

Throughout high school and college, I have tutored various ages in a wide array of subjects. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Child Development. During college, I volunteered as an after school mentor/tutor for children ages 6-10. I provided them with help on their homework and created different educational activities for the children to do. These activities were designed to make learning fun and exciting and it helped the children to grasp many different concepts, especially with math and spelling. In college, I tutored my peers in different subjects including mathematics and psychology.
After college, I taught preschool for a year. I have always enjoyed working with children but this was my first opportunity to teach. I find that children learn better with a hands-on approach. I tried to make sure that everything I taught the children in my ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and helping kids. Since both my parents are in education it something that I have always been around. My mother works with troubled children and she always says they just need people to give them a chance and a little extra time. I believe that all kids can achieve given the right circumstances. I’m patient and understanding with the children that I tutor and I try to relate each subject that I’m tutoring to their own special interests. I love the special felling I get when I know I helped a child succeed.
As a Florida A & M University graduate with a B.S. in Biological and Agricultural System Engineering, I have extensive experience with various levels of math and science. I had a strong will to learn and a certain knack for explaining things while I was enrolled in college. I also have utilized extensive grammatical skills in writing research papers and essays fo ... read more
