Private tutor in Chattanooga, TN
Education
M.Ed. Community Counseling University of Tennessee at Chattanooga B.S. Psychology (Cum Laude). University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Currently enrolled as a full-time graduate student at UTC, where I am pursuing an Ed.S. degree in School Psychology.
Experience
PLEASE NOTE: I live near UTC, and because I currently do not own a car, I would either need to meet students on (or near) the UTC campus, or would require transportation to/from the student's preferred location for the tutoring sessions. Teaching/Tutoring Experience: 11/08-3/09 Adjunct Instructor, Virginia College School of Business and Health Provided instruction for a course in remedial reading, as well a Freshman-level course aimed at orienting students to college life, introducing them to campus learning resources, and providing them with a proven framework of skills for academic and professional success based on the work of The Pacific Institute. 10/95-5/96 Tutor (College Access Program), University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Provided individual tutoring in undergraduate social sciences classes to two students enrolled in a program developed to assist students with learning disabilities. 4/94-3/95 Substitute Teacher, Hamilton County Department of Education Instructed students, grades Kindergarten through 12th, in various subjects. Why I want to be a tutor: I have a strong commitment to the field of education, and I enjoy working with students in helping them to overcome their perceived barriers to learning. I believe that any student can learn, given the right approach for them, as individuals. In addition, I am in need of part-time work that is flexible around my own current class/study schedule.
