Award-Winning Tutors from University of North Carolina at Charlotte

A big part of my life is focused on helping people understand what escapes them. I'm a big believer in the idea that the average person is more than capable of understanding nearly any concept. It's all about how that information is presented to them.

I am from Ypsilanti, Michigan and graduated from Hampton University with a bachelors of arts in political science, and University of Phoenix with a master's of business administration. I also graduated from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte with a post-master certification in school administration and currently work as a dean of students at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. I have been in education, around the country, for over 20 years in various roles, serving in other educational capacities such as department chair, team leader and principal. He has worked for the U.S. House of Representatives and on several state and local campaigns. The most important moment in a teacher's life is when the "ah-ha" moment occurs with a student. That moment is the one that I have lived to see over and over again. When I see that moment in the face or eyes of my student, I know my job in nearly completed.I have taught many different course over my career along with some ELA, and business courses as well as physical education. My main course of studies was the discipline of social studies, including but not limited to United States History or American History, World History, Civics and Economics or Government, World Geography, and African American Studies. My focus is on helping students understand American government and American history. I try to tie in specific contribution of the many different communities and cultures that have made up the United States to help make clear the many contributions that went into making the country what it is today.My teaching philosophy is to start in a lecture format to set up the background of the lesson and then expand to a conversation where all parties can contribute to the discussion as we learn how and why situations and concepts evolved as they did. I will present information and ask for feedback to what we are learning and why it matters. As we get further along, I will ask students to help present the lesson as to bring about ownership of the subject so can all learn together.

Bonjour! I am an undergraduate student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte working towards a bachelor in Public Health and a Minor in French. I attain an associate degree in science from the central Piedmont Community college. I am a native, fluent French speaker from the Ivory Coast. I spent two years in Marseilles, which is located on the south coast of France. I enjoy reading and, outdoors activities. I am easy going and I value my student's time.I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina where I obtained a B.A. in Philosophy and am currently enrolled at the University of North Carolina Charlotte seeking a B.S. in Mathematics. I love to tutor math because I like to show the students how powerful of a tool math can be at explaining the world around us. I often find that the students are a lot smarter than they think.In my off time I enjoy reading, hiking, running, and watching the Carolina panthers. I love puzzles and riddles and have solved many different Rubik's cubes.

Hello! My name is Hannah and I am a junior in College in North Carolina! I love the beach and dogs. My favorite subject in school is math. My goal is to be an occupational Therapist one day.

I am a graduate of University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Math and a Bachelor of Arts in German, with University Honors and Mathematics Honors. Currently, I am pursuing my Doctorate in Mathematics from North Carolina State University, and I love every second of it. Math is a huge passion of mine, only matched by my love for teaching and tutoring. I believe that everyone can do math, and helping students realize that is why I do what I do. Math is exciting and useful, and I think it isn't always portrayed that way in the classroom. I hope to bring that side of math out in one-on-one tutoring.When I'm not working or studying, I love to watch movies and read all kinds of books, though classics and fantasy are my favorite.

I love when the information clicks with a student and they finally understand a concept.

I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I've taught Pre-Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 5th grade over the span of 6 years. I am passionate about teaching children to read and write and finding ways to make math more inviting. I am a mother of one, soon-to-be two, and enjoy watching my kids and students grow and learn through a variety of means, from arts to music, using technology or nature, and making education fun. I believe every child can succeed in their education, but not every style of learning fits every student, so I prefer to adapt to how a child learns rather than having them try to adapt to my style. In my spare time, I like watching cooking shows, cop shows, and anime of all types. I also love to do arts and crafts and play with my kids in whatever they want to play, including outdoor games and video games.

While my title says "tutor", I aim to be more of a mentor. I have a strong passion for math & the computer sciences and I love being able to transfer my knowledge of the subjects to others by "under"-complicating it. My goal is not to just convey the what/how but the WHY. Most the time we find ourselves solving problems but not truly understanding the why behind it and that's what I aim to fix.

I am a lifelong educator who enjoys working with students of all ages. I am passionate about many subjects including: Math, Science, Social Studies, and Teacher Education. I have a PhD from Wingate University in North Carolina. I am known for going the extra mile in helping students succeed.

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Belmont Abbey College in 2014. Recently, I received my Master of Science degree in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Throughout this time, I was able to gain invaluable experience engaging students one on one and in a classroom setting. For two years, I worked as a lab instructor at UNC-Charlotte where I taught labs for genetics and general biology. I quickly found that teaching, and particularly working with students one on one, is a passion of mine. Whether the student is advanced in the subject or is heavily struggling with the basics, I greatly enjoy working individually with them to guide them towards improved academic performance. I fully believe that no two students are exactly alike and therefore my teaching approaches can not be exactly alike for every student. This philosophy of being flexible in my methods of engaging students enables me to get the most from every student. I am very passionate about teaching many areas of the biological sciences including cell biology, physiology, immunology, microbiology, and molecular biology. Outside of academics I enjoy going to the gym, hiking, and supporting my favorite sports teams.

My education includes a B.S. in Geo-Enviromental Studies from UNC Pembroke and a M.A. in Geography from UNC Charlotte. A biology minor was pursued during my time at UNC Pembroke. My experience working with students covers around 2.5 years, and was relative to physical geography(specifically labs). The courses/subject matter I tutor include AP Human Geography, AP Enviromental Science, and College level Geography courses amongst others. I particularly enjoy teaching geography and enviromental science topics somewhat equally, with a slight prefference toward geography. My teaching philosophy/aproach is relative to approaching the situation with regard to why the student is taking the class in the first place, then using a variety of techniques, particularly things I found helpful in the past. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy Dungeon & Dragons and reading manga amongst other nerdy hobbies. Hope I may be the right tutor for your academic needs.

Hi I'm Tess! I'm a Mathematics major at UNC Charlotte with minors in Linguistics and Cognitive Science. I've been tutoring for 4 years now and have worked with students ranging from ages 10 to 50. My specialty is math, specifically Algebra and Trigonometry, as I have the most experience tutoring in these areas. I have experience as a teaching assistant for MATLAB and I'm also proficient in Java.

I am currently a physics major at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have previously tutored at Mathnasium, teaching primarily middle school students with some elementary school students and some high school students. I primarily teach physics and math. I am very passionate about teaching, because I think every student has a different perspective. It is truly amazing how different students tend to think compared to adults, often displaying immense amounts of creativity, enthusiasm, and courage that most people could only dream of. It is important not to underestimate these qualities in young scholars, which is why I make it my goal to personally understand the students that I teach.

My goal is to help educate the bright minds of our future leaders. I attended college at the University of NC Charlotte and obtained a BSBA in Human Resource Management. I have been educating in the form of homeschooling my own children and tutoring others since 2009. I have taught all subjects across all grade levels, but my favorite is elementary subjects. I love that age because it is the foundation for all learning. What and how they learn in those formative years will impact their ability to absorb information in high school, college, in the work force and beyond.I teach based on each individual students learning style. We, as humans, are not all the same so we don't all learn the same. I've found that most students benefit most from a more hands on approach to learning so I try to incorporate that into lessons whenever I can.Outside of teaching, my favorite things to do are curling up with a good book or spending some time in the pool. I used to swim competitively in middle and high school and, even now, the pool is the best place for me to workout or relax and unwind. I look forward to working with you and your children.

I have recently completed my 25th year in education, with experience in teaching and intervention from kindergarten to grade 6 in addition to graduate study in curriculum design and educational leadership. After exploring different opportunities, including administration, curriculum design, and curriculum coaching, I have rediscovered my love for teaching and interaction with students. I struggled with mathematics as a student because I am an analytical thinker and it was not until I learned how to teach mathematics developmentally that I understood where my teachers had failed me. I made it my personal mission to never miss an opportunity to help a student connect to mathematical knowledge in a meaningful way and to develop multiple paths to understanding so that each one of my students will have the opportunity to interact with content in a way that makes sense to them. I have a passion for fostering developmental thinking in mathematics and believe that the way to excellence is building a strong foundation in number sense and multiple paths to knowledge. The way to understand mathematics is to do mathematics, breaking through the barriers of what a student thinks they should know and drilling down to find the obstacles that are holding them back from true understanding.

Writing has always appealed to me as one of the few ways to share who you really are with someone else. To be able to do this more accurately, to more precisely convey who you are is a goal I believe to be worth pursuing.
