"I am a trained, certified teacher working in a Georgia public high school with a Diploma in Education, BA in History and a Masters in Government. I have over 30 years' teaching and tutoring experience. As as a tutor I do one on one counseling with my students to keep them organized and focused.

I have several years' public speaking experience mainly gained through Toastmasters International. I am a past president of the Minutemen Toastmasters Club with vast public speaking experience. I am also a Debate Coach with the National Speech and Debate Association. I coach the Debate, Model Union and Mock Trials teams at my current school where I work.

My tutoring style includes a few minutes of lecturing. I have found that having discussions with my students, having them complete assignments and then reviewing these assignments with them is the best method. I encourage my students to be proactive, asks questions and help them to reason through topics for themselves to ensure that they have grasped the concepts.

In addition, no teaching style works for all students so I always make sure to adapt my methods to the learning style of my student. After all, the most important thing is to make sure my students grasp the concepts and develop the ability to complete tasks independently." less...
