I find joy in helping students meet their educational needs and helping them succeed wherever their learning takes them. As Albert Einstein indicated, "Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." To think about your thinking is the key to education and represents my goal as a tutor. You see, critical-thinking is the pathway to engaged learning.

I am passionate about helping students because I believe in the transformative power of education. Watching a student overcome challenges and gain confidence in their abilities is incredibly rewarding. My experience includes working with students across various age groups, focusing on building their understanding and skills. I completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Public Health from Southern New Hampshire University and am currently working toward my doctorate in Public Health.

My teaching philosophy emphasizes a student-centered approach, fostering critical thinking and active engagement. Outside of academia, I enjoy fitness, exploring the beauty industry, and reading.

All educators should be professional and have a lot of patience no matter where they are teaching- online or in-person, in urban areas, rural areas or small suburban areas with students or all backgrounds and abilities. Educators today have more opportunities to impact the lives of students from various backgrounds due to the technology and learning platforms. Educators can influence student's academic lives more than they realize it. The educators of today need to be creative, continue self-enrichment, be fair, and should be caring. The teacher needs to step out and help with extra-curricular activities like field trips, advising clubs, assisting academic fairs, and promoting student academic achievements through activities outside the classroom. Often this means using their own time and money to promote the activities for the students. Educators need to be able to communicate with students, other educators, staff, administration, and the community. They also need to be available to answer the questions and concerns of the students and help them develop as scholars. Educators are like mentors guiding the learners to truth, knowledge, and helping them find their voice. Educators need to be outstanding examples in both word and deed because they need to be on time, have their materials ready, and be prompt. The educators need to keep track of their commitments to the students as well as the school, especially in a small urban setting where they are counting on them. I strive to be that educator for you.

I began my college career by majoring in the Spanish language at Howard University. However, I graduated from Ashford University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Organizational Management with a concentration in Foreign Languages.

In addition, I received a certification in Elementary Education K-6 and ESOL K-12 as well as a Reading Endorsement. I have had teaching and tutoring experience in all core content areas, including math. Also, I have taught and tutored elementary and middle school students for over ten years. I worked extensively as an ESOL teacher for students in Kindergarten thru eighth grade. In particular, I assisted students in the arena of English Language Acquisition, English Language Arts, Reading, and Writing, focusing on Science and Social Studies in the content area. Finally, I have had experience instructing students in learning strategies for state standardized testing. As a teacher and a tutor, I endeavored to help students recognize their strengths while working toward their personal and academic goals.

As a dedicated educator with a Master's in Nursing Leadership Administration from Capella University, I am passionate about empowering my students in core nursing concepts and NCLEX preparation. With over 2 years of tutoring and classroom experience, I utilize a hands-on approach that emphasizes real-world applications and fosters critical thinking. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and capable of achieving their academic goals. I find immense joy in witnessing my students grow in confidence and competence. I split my time between teaching and working as a nurse in the operating room. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading and continuing to learn in healthcare, which enriches my teaching and keeps me engaged with the evolving field. I too am a student and am currently pursuing my DNP.

I am a veteran educator and a believer that all children can learn given the proper support and services. I spent most of my teaching and administrative experience in urban schools.During my educational career I have been able to connect and collaborate with educators globally.Most of my career has been advocating for children in the areas of special education, behavioral issues, and mental health.A passionate advocate for children in trauma and children experiencing mental health issues, I am author of three books geared for elementary children and loves helping children sort out their feelings. The books incorporate emotional health as well as social and emotional learning concepts with the goal of empowering children to freely and effectively communicate their thoughts and emotions.

I support students in building clarity, confidence, and strong problem-solving skills so they can learn with purpose and independence. I've taught from 1st grade through graduate school, and I especially enjoy helping learners work through the thinking process behind coding, technology, AI (augmented intelligence), and vocation & life design. My teaching blends personalized learning with human performance principles, using a process-oriented, guided-inquiry approach. Students learn by asking questions, testing ideas, and exploring concepts in a structured way that strengthens critical thinking and resilience. I focus on helping them understand how they think so they can make sense of challenges and apply their skills in school, work, and life. My background includes a PhD focused on how students actually learn and how to design for skill development and mastery, along with computer science and education degrees. I also served in the Navy and Wisconsin Army National Guard.

As a lifelong learner, I believe access to high-quality education is a right of every individual. As such, I desire to meet and exceed learners' expectations. Through fun and engaging sessions, I help make seemingly complex topics into easy-to-understand concepts.

I love learning and feel that learning is an ongoing process. We should be learning something new each day. For that reason and more, I enjoy teaching and learning from those individuals that I tutor and teach. I find that there are so many opportunities to share viable information that can be life changing for those on the receiving end. Informative, fun, engaging and interactive are four ingredients you will get from a session with me. Hopefully, this will help you to retain the information better.

As a dedicated educator with a Master's in Education from Capella University, I have over 5 years of experience in tutoring and classroom instruction.

I believe in creating a supportive environment that fosters curiosity and confidence in learners.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy exploring the world through travel. As well as honing my own writing skills through blogging, which further enriches my tutoring practice.

My many experiences as a classroom, hybrid, and online graduate student have given me a unique perspective on what makes an excellent online instructor and what creates a disastrous experience for students. I have 13 years of experience as a classroom instructor and several years as an online tutor. I know the foundation of success for online nursing students is contingent on faculty being able to create a cordial and professional relationship with each student. I have extensive experience with APA formatting and writing style and available for editing APA papers including grammar and flow of the content. My teaching experiences include BSN, ADN, and LPN/LVN programs. These programs are regionally accredited and required instructors to use and create NCLEX structured questions. It is imperative for student success during and after completing school to critically evaluate and analyze nursing practice through difficult and alternative format questions. Unfortunately, NCLEX structured questions can be intimidating for students. As a former Assistant Dean for Academic Success and as an online tutor, I have extensive experience helping students understand and apply their knowledge to decrease test anxiety, decrease frustrations with studying, and increase their confidence. Nothing feels better than to hear from students who discovered their personal learning style and hearing about their successes.

As a passionate educator and full-time ICU nurse currently pursuing my master's in nursing education at Capella University, I am dedicated to helping students excel in NCLEX-RN preparation.

My Philosophy of Teaching, Learning, and Assessment comes from each other; and following what Wald and Castleberry (2002) provided in several great suggestions related to learning from each other when it comes to teacher improvement, learning, leadership, moral, school culture, student/faculty learning and life in general. The authors shared the following when it comes to assessment and learning that I also practice:1. Understanding yourself. As learners we have to understand ourselves by knowing who we are, what we believe in, and how we are willing to share what we have learned. We all see and react to things differently; that is important to see and listen to other's viewpoints.2. Understanding others' beliefs and assumptions. We all have various beliefs and assumptions with expressed opinions that can be either influenced by others or just learned from experiences. We should be interested in knowing what others are talented in, what they have trouble with, how they can help another individual overcome an obstacle, what traits or similarities and differences they can bring to the unity for the team.3. Communicating together in a trusting atmosphere. We should be able to listen to others carefully when one shares meaningful information without interrupting their thoughts or sharing your own personal views until they finish. We should respect each other's comments, be honest to giving your own suggestions if asked, be able to determine meaning of their conversation by rephrasing/repeating what they have ideas especially if the atmosphere is warm, pleasant and trustworthy, and should explain the reasons for doing certain things in detailed to avoid any relationship.4. Making decisions together as a whole/consensus. We should be able to be straightforward with each other when making decision as a team. We should have a tally as to how many agree or disagree to certain issues and reasons to support decisions5. Establishing ground rules and roles. When we come together as a team we should have set times to begin and end, we should stay focused on the discussion at hand, we should avoid any unnecessary interruption, we should allow all members to voice their opinion, we should save any negative judgments, we should support each other's suggestions and not knock them down, we should not make meetings long and drawn out, we should have established roles for each facilitator's recording kept.6. Allowing time to reflect. As a team the group should reflect back on the rules, goal, vision, and ideas that have been set to improve learning for all. See what has been accomplished, and what else needs improvement/change on a continuous bases for learning, for growth, and an avoidance of becoming complacent.

As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Grand Canyon University, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience across various subjects, including Elementary School Reading and Writing, High School English, and Special Education. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment tailored to each student's unique needs, fostering both their academic and personal growth. I believe in the power of building strong relationships with my students, which allows me to connect with them and enhance their confidence. In addition to my classroom experience, I am certified to teach in Texas, and I continuously strive to cultivate effective study skills and organization in my students. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational methodologies, which further enrich my teaching approach.

I'm passionate about tutoring because I want to see the students do their best and succeed in reaching their goals. I enjoy the challenge of solving problems together and experiencing the best possible outcome.

I am passionate about helping students because it is in my DNA. I am a 3rd generation educator so I have teaching in my blood. Lol. Also, I have witnessed how teachers impact the lives of children in a tremendous way. I have had the opportunity to teach in 3 different states including the midwest and the south. These students have ranged in grades from kindergarten to fourth grades. I have 11 years of classroom experience in public schools and charter schools. I received my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from USC. I am presently enrolled in a Master's program in Counseling. This will help strengthen my understanding of the various children and their family dynamics. I will learn how that plays a role in their learning process and how I can best teach them. The subjects I tutor are mainly Reading, Writing and Math in the elementary levels K-5. My favorite subjects to tutor are these three just mentioned. It is a three way tie because they all work together. My teaching philosophy is that every child can learn. We just have to find their learning style and teach them where they are-even if they are grade levels behind. If they already excel, I believe in pushing them forward at a pace that suites them. My style of tutoring is getting to know the student first and implementing their likes. I am also very professional and very patient. Outside of teaching I love to spend time with my family, attend church in person or virtually, meet new people, roller skate, and read about new things.

With 17 years in the nursing profession, and 23 years total in the healthcare field, I can help students to see the bigger picture in the world of healthcare. If a student is motivated to learn, there is no end to what they can achieve. I struggled in math in high school and realized in college that sometimes the way something is explained by another person is all that's needed to get someone to understand it. I hope to be that person for students and help them grasp concepts by explaining it in a way they understand.

Hello,My name is Teacher Cleta. I'm an ESL Certified Teacher with 3-5 years of teaching experience.I have immensely enjoyed teaching English online to students between 3 and 11 years of age. I taught Art to K-6 students as part of an afterschool program. We would go into the classrooms and strive to instill a positive sense-of-self, self-image and self-worth through art, a job that bought so much joy. I have been home-schooling my 11-year-old son for the past 4 years. A job that has proven to be an invaluable experience. I absolutely love the learning experience and personal growth that teaching provides. I often feel I receive so much more from my students than what I give.Fun fact: I am a published poet who can create a jingle for anything. Jingles are great for memory and retention. One of my favorite ways to make English class a fun and exciting experience is by creating jingles.This is my favorite jingle to reinforce present-continuous-tense.If it's happeningWe always use "i-n-g"If it's happeningWe always use i - n -gWe will have so much fun learning English together. I look forward to seeing you in the classroom."The gift of communication empowers us to effectively exchange ideas, thoughts, feelings and so much more."I am delighted to bring this gift to individuals around the world.

I have been teaching online since 2010. I began teaching part time for three different universities at the same time and have taught many different subjects including psychology, counseling, social work, family therapy, children and adolescent development, psychopathology, conflict resolution among others. I have two master's degrees: one in Social Work and one in Criminal Justice and a PhD in Human Services. I have two adult daughters and one grandson and live in Northeast Georgia though I am originally from Northeast Ohio.

I have been a teacher for 26 years and have loved every one of them. I am passionate about my students succeeding and having an AHA! moment when they understand what they have learned. I am always proud of my students when they work hard and try their best. I enjoy learning with my students to find out the best way to learn and make them successful. I tutor reading, phonics, language arts, and math all at the elementary level. My favorite subject is math but I also like to teach reading.

I am a graduate of Boise State University, where I received my bachelor of Science in Psychology, also Pennsylvania State University, and Capella University where I graduated with a master's degree in human Behavior. While obtaining my degrees as a single mother of two children, my son was diagnosed with ADHD and other learning disabilities. That is where I gained intimate knowledge of IEPs and 504 learning plans. It sparked my fascination with the psychology of people from all different backgrounds. I have worked with individuals with a broad range of different mental health diagnoses and learning styles. I have been homeschooling my seven-year-old granddaughter for the past year and a half (she also has ADHD). I utilize a variety of alternative tutoring methods from the typical school curriculum. I genuinely feel each child is a unique individual and therefore their tutoring should be tailored to their own learning style, strength, weaknesses, and personality whether it be audio, kinesthetic or visual. Previously, I was employed as a CBRS (Community Based Rehabilitation Specialist) worker. It enabled me to work with students of all ages from grade school through high school. The one-on-one work I did with each of those students reinforced that individuality plays an important role in their confidence, comprehension, and success. I'm proud to offer tutoring in Reading, Math, and Language, but I have to admit that Math is the subject I enjoy the most. I love that we are constantly building on knowledge previously obtained (I see it as growth in my mind). I also believe that it is vitally important to keep in mind that when a student is struggling, sometimes finding a lighter (less stressful) way to help them retain information lends a more successful result and a better attitude towards the study sessions. When I'm not in my teaching/tutoring element, I enjoy painting crafts from ceramics to mandalas on coasters, coloring, listening to music and playing board or card games with family.
