I graduated from The University of Chattanooga. I furthered my education at Union University, were I earned my master and education specialist degrees. At the p... Read more

Mr. Z. has a nack for making school work a snap.
Parents, my success for students is bound in the hearts of students from various states, Whether it is the very young with story telling, involving imagination, and the love of reading, to the basic skills needed in older students to succeed. School can be fun, if one can see the goal in mind. By seeing what the teacher wants, and recognize it is not as hard as the student makes it out to be. The student just needs a few tools that help him or her reach the set goals. Tutoring first has to... Read more

Education is very important to me. I stress to my students how it will affect them for the rest of their lives. It is important that students have a good foundation on which to build. I have a Bachelor's degree in Education, and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I absolutely love to see kids when they have that "light bulb" moment. This is when you really know that they are growing. Everyone learns differently. I like to match each student according to his/her strength... Read more

I'm currently the director of an ESL program in Germantown, TN and have experience in tutoring children in all basic subjects, testing high school students for ACT prep, and college students for class performance improvement.

Obi
Ivy League SAT/ACT Tutor, Specializing in Reading and Writing
Hi! My name is Obi. I am currently a junior in college, majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Education, and when I was younger, my mother used to ground me from reading books. Like any other child, when my older sister got into trouble, she was grounded from visiting her friends' houses or watching TV. But I was grounded from reading books. I would sneak my library books home from school in my sister's backpack (since my mom would never think to look for books there). It was a serio... Read more
James
Writing creatively and otherwise
I have a Master's in Education as well as an MFA in Poetry and been published in a literary journal. I have taught in the Peace Corps and from 7th grade to upper level undergraduate classes with 10 years teaching experience. My thoughts on writing are that grammar and punctuation are important, but are involved in the editing process. Before these aspects of writing can come into play, the thought process must be there. Sentence thought must logically flow from one sentence to the next. ... Read more
Savannah
ESL Teacher Experienced in Spanish Culture and Language
I have spent the last two years studying the history, culture, and modern political climate of Guatemala. In college, I studied Spanish and Architecture, focusing on how informal housing settlements ("slums") occur in countries like Guatemala and others in Central America. Through this study, I was exposed to Mayan languages (K'iche' and Kaqchikel) and the importance of literacy and education advocacy. I began teaching ESL as a volunteer and it has become my greatest passion. Being able to te... Read more
