Hello! I love to teach and will do everything in my power to help you learn! Music + Spanish Hola! Amo ensear y har todo lo posible para ayudarte a aprender! Msica + Espaol/Ingles

Tutoring is what I love to do. Helping students understand math or any other subjects they are struggling with is very rewarding. I love sharing that AHA moment with them and love it when students say, "I get it now!"

As an educator with a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University, I am deeply committed to nurturing academic growth in my students. With over 28 years of teaching and classroom experience, I specialize in Elementary School Math, Reading, Writing, and ESL/ELL, utilizing the Orton-Gillingham approach to enhance literacy skills. My teaching philosophy focuses on creating a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to take risks and discover their potential. Witnessing my students thrive and develop a passion for learning is what drives me. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring innovative educational methodologies, which continually enrich my practice and strengthen my connection with students.

Education is the key to my heart. I enjoy teaching, molding and developing minds. My passion lies in hands-on and innovative learnings. I'm eager to help redesign your lessons for a better understanding.

I am currently working full time in education, as a tutor and substitute teacher. I am new to Florida and loving it so far! I hm a big fan of Chemistry and Math and hope you will allow me to help you develop a love for STEM as well! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns and I look forward to working with you!

After receiving my Bachelor of Arts in English from Winthrop University I moved to Kennesaw State University and earned a Master of Arts in Professional Writing. Since then I have worked as an instructor and freelance writer. I have been published in The Escapist, Paste Magazine, and Gameranx. I have also designed two critically acclaimed video games.Along with writing, teaching is a huge passion of mine. I've tutored for four years, helping students become better writers. I've also worked as an English instructor at a college and technical school and know what level of academic performance is expected from students at the college level. I wish to help students not only exceed those expectations but also to give them tools that will help them succeed outside of school as well.

I am a graduate of Winthrop University in Educational Studies with a concentration in Elementary Education. I believe in the success of all students through individualized techniques and shared rapport. My teaching style focuses on positive reinforcement and making each student feel a part of the learning. I am fueled by my personal desire to never stop learning and to share knowledge in a way that students can personally relate to. I am most passionate about math, grammar, and Spanish and help students gain confidence in learning these as well. I use my personal experiences to help nuerodivergent students build skills that help them to succeed in the learning atmosphere.

History, and our understanding of history should be fluid and open to change. The student of history ought to become part archaeologist and part time traveler engaged in the continual quest for information, data, and analysis. Contrary to the scientific approach, which starts with the formation of hypotheses followed by research, history focuses on the asking of questions, learning the answers to those questions, and using those answers as a foundation for stronger more detailed questions. The student who learns the historian's trade will be empowered to succeed with the most fundamental of skills: to learn how to learn.I use innovative methods based upon my own research in teaching the historian's trade to guide and empower my students. I focus on showing my students by using an example of the task I want them to perform as a regular form of teaching.For example, I may use a multimedia presentation comprised of primary sources to teach an abstract concept, such as a reading of a slave poem complete with images (sketches as well as early photography of slave beatings) with an underscore of mood appropriate period music. The objective is to evoke an emotional response and place slavery in its human context, not just an abstract concept in a textbook. The use of pictures and music allows the student to see and feel a complex issue in its historical context. Issues of the past inform our present, putting present issues in historical context, which brings history to a personal level, allowing students to learn from their own past and realize they have choices about their futures. In this way, the complexities of history unfold into a tangible and relatable form, while simultaneously showing students exactly how they themselves will be expected to share what they've learned by creating their own multimedia presentation, for example. A couple additional teaching strategies include:Oral History: Research and conduct an oral interview of a contemporary who was involved in an historical event. I would teach students about the 1983 invasion of Grenada, a.k.a. Operation Urgent Fury, by sharing my own oral interview and research. This provides the students with an "eyewitness account" of an historical event and provides an opportunity to develop the students' critical thinking skills by showing the potential that what one reads about may not be as accurate as one thinks. For example, history textbooks often paint a picture of Grenadians welcoming the Americans with open arms, but my interviewee told stories of snipers and resistance that lasted longer than the official history indicates. In addition, oral history projects make history anecdotal by placing historical events in a real-life context, relating history to concepts familiar with a student's life. Small, moderator-led discussion groups provide a forum to assess whether students understand the event and can think critically and analytically about its significance and relevance; whereas, having students then perform their own oral interviews requires them to demonstrate that they can use the tools and skills learned to engage in primary research and analysis.Basic Research: Examine primary documents (letters, journals, broadsheets, articles, or editorial cartoons) written in the context of the day and time as events unfold. Documents will be hand-selected by the teacher to build scaffolding for students to frame the targeted lesson and learning objectives. In teaching, the use of a primary textbook, secondary source books, and primary documents is essential. Each week, a portion of class time is comprised of overview lectures that cover the textbook materials, assessed by in-class examinations, with the remaining class time dedicated to small, moderator-led (guided) group discussions and student presentations, centered primarily on the primary source materials. Before beginning the reading of a secondary book, I will incorporate an extra session for an overview lecture and discussion. Knowledge of the secondary source materials will be evaluated based on essays and/or a research paper.I believe that it is important to empower students by making history hands on and interactive. Contrary to traditional approaches to the discipline, I teach to an outline of core competencies, not an amalgam of memorized facts and dates. Although the skills and knowledge gained are tailored to the historian, they are equally essential to the average liberal studies student's success in a constantly changing world. The ultimate outcome is to have the student think critically and in an historical context by effectively communicating themes, ideas, and subject matter in written and oral format. Students will be able apply basic research methods to discover appropriate primary and secondary sources and critically assess those sources in order to demonstrate a general aptitude for knowing which tools and resources to seek and apply in order to answer a given question.In my professional employment as a certified paralegal, I often taught paralegal interns and new attorneys hired by our firm. I created materials on policies/procedures and, in the case of paralegal interns, an overview of the law practiced by our firm. I made the process interactive by using case materials to demonstrate the impact of the law on the client's life, demonstrated how the law might impact their lives, and provided the opportunity for constructive feedback in Q & A sessions. As a non-traditional student who worked full-time while completing his bachelor's and master's degrees, I understand the struggles of time management and deadline scheduling that students face and will be an invaluable advisor, providing practical tips on how to balance school, work and life demands.In sum, all of my pedagogical strategies are dedicated to interweaving my professional and academic experiences with my innate passion for making history come to life while simultaneously empowering students with the tools to succeed in their lives, academically and professionally.

Hello! My name is A'Ja, and I am an encouraging and dedicated tutor who enjoys helping students grow in both skill and confidence. I know that learning can feel overwhelming at times, so I focus on creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and working through challenges step by step. My tutoring style is patient, clear, and personalized. I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt lessons to meet their needs and help them build a strong understanding of the material. I focus on making concepts easier to understand, building confidence through small wins, and helping students become more independent over time. My goal is for students to leave each session feeling more capable, more prepared, and more confident in their ability to succeed.

Hello! My name is Emerald Cooper, and I am an experienced and dedicated educator with 5 years of teaching middle school English, including 2 years in 7th grade and 3 years in 8th grade. I graduated from Winthrop University with a degree in Middle Level Education, concentrating in English and Social Studies, and I am passionate about fostering a learning environment that encourages growth, critical thinking, and exploration. In addition to my classroom experience, I hold two Master's degrees from the University of South Carolina, one in Teaching with a concentration in Multicultural Studies and the other in Educational Leadership. These programs helped me gain a deeper understanding of diverse student needs and the skills necessary to be an effective leader in education. During my college years, I worked as a sociology tutor for two years, where I was honored with a program award for my commitment to student success. This experience taught me the value of personalized instruction, adaptability, and patience all of which I carry into my tutoring approach. What drives me as an educator is watching students reach their potential and exceed their own expectations. I specialize in building strong rapport with students, getting to know them as individuals, learners, and future leaders. I understand that every student is unique, so I tailor my tutoring methods to fit their learning style and interests. I believe in hard work and commitment, 99 and a half won't do. I challenge my students to push past their comfort zones and strive for excellence. As long as they are putting in the effort, I will support them every step of the way. My goal is to inspire students to believe in themselves, develop a love for learning, and build the confidence they need to succeed in school and beyond. Let's work together to make learning an engaging, challenging, and rewarding experience!

Hello! I'm a psychology major and art history minor. I've been tutoring for about 6 years, I have a 3.7 gpa, I've taken classes on how to tutor, and i just love teaching! It's a passion of mine, so lets get started!

I received my K-12 education in Spartanburg, SC District #6. I graduated from Dorman High School and am still VERY proud to call myself a Cavalier. From Dorman, I went to Winthrop University (college at the time I attended) and received a Bachelor's Degree in Business Education. At that time in history, there was a teacher overage and I was out of school working temporary jobs when I decided to go back to school for my Master's Degree. I attended Converse College in Spartanburg, SC and received a Master's Degree in Special Education. I am currently seeking an Ed.S. from East Carolina University in Educational Leadership.I have been in education for 27 years and have taught students from ages 4-84. My favorite subject to tutor is accounting. I LOVE accounting. It makes sense to me. I have a minor in accounting, but choose to go the education route in undergraduate. I believe that education gives one what one puts in. I have worked with very smart students who were lazy and did poorly in the academic arena and students who were not so smart but worked hard and were very successful in their academics.Outside of the academic world, I love to go camping and sit and read. Over Memorial Day, my family and I went to the beach and in two days, I read two complete books. I was in my happy place.
