My name is Alyssa. I'm a Nashville native. I graduated from Franklin Road Academy in 2012. While in high school I played basketball, volleyball, and softball. I was also involved in the literary magazine.After high school, I headed to Samford University in Birmingham, AL. In college, I studied Philosophy and French with a concentration in Linguistics and some German on the side. I was involved in a sorority at Samford and served my sisterhood as the Judicial Chairman and I served the university as the Director of New Member Education.I have spent the past two years of my life living in Normandy, France, teaching English in a high school there. I've had the opportunity to travel a lot while in Europe it's opened my eyes to the many different ways that different cultures operate. I believe that everyone can learn a little something from everyone else.In 2018 I will be continuing on to get my Masters in Mind, Language, and Embodied Cognition at the University of Edinburgh- a philosophy and linguistics program.In my spare time, I really enjoy sports, gardening, and yoga. I enjoy a nice cup of coffee and long discussions about things that matter. I'm an avid writer and love to journal. I love teaching and plan to eventually turn my time in France into a teacher certification here in the USA.

I am an all-ages tutor with over six years of experience. Most prominently, I’ve tutored in math (K thru Pre-Calc), science (K thru High School -- biology, psychology, chemistry, physics), and English (all ages and grade levels -- literature, composition. reading skills, writing, essay editing, etc). I deeply enjoy working with children and adolescents, and work consciously to target my level of interaction and explanation to many different ages. Years of experience as the oldest cousin on both sides of my family, has given me a fine-tuned ability to encourage and engage in age-appropriate playfulness and positivity, while maintaining a firm grasp on responsibility for the task at hand.I love helping others learn, have a great deal of patience, a sharp editor's eye, and a treasure trove of study tricks and organizational tools. I have participated in multiple courses related to childhood learning and development and approaches to tutoring, and have a number of different approaches in my teaching tool-belt. Most often, I like to take an approach to teaching that focuses on deep understanding of the subject material. I seek to build a solid foundation for grasping the material, based upon each student’s particular background, interests, and approach to learning. I also really like to make learning fun! I think there are so many ways one can approach any subject, and spend a great deal of time trying to help my students figure out which approach may be most positive and exciting for them.I graduated from Oberlin College in 2014, receiving a Neuroscience B.A. with High Honors, and worked for the past two years as a scientific researcher in a lab at Harvard University. I have been involved in scientific research for many years, and authored multiple publications. In addition to my technical work, I have worked as a research mentor for local high school students, taught an elective course on reading and analyzing scientific papers, and was employed by the Oberlin Dean of Students as a mentor for incoming freshman. As a result, I have a deep passion for explaining confusing and complicated concepts, and working to teach to the individual student’s needs and interests.In addition to my scientific work, I have been heavily involved in writing for many years. In high school, I was the News Editor and Managing Editor of the school newspaper. During college, I wrote for multiple publications, and was a copy editor at the Oberlin Review, as well as a co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of Oberlin’s popular science magazine. As a result, I have many years under my belt serving as a grammar and content editor -- which involves not only correcting others’ work, but working over long periods of time with writers to begin, create, and shape pieces of which they can be proud.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher. I believe that teaching is more than a job, more than a career; it is a calling. Making a difference in the lives of others is important to me. I can't think of another job that offers that opportunity as much as teaching.

I believe an individual should constantly strive to be the best version of themselves. To beware of comfort zones! They will only hinder self growth. Push through any thoughts of surrender and fight for the dream.

As an undergraduate, I was privileged to attend Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. Knox's small class size and emphasis on senior faculty teaching introductory courses made a lasting impression on me. I learned to learn in a collegial atmosphere.As a graduate student (MS & PhD) at Ohio State University, I successfully taught for my entire graduate career. I was nominated several times for the Excellence in Teaching Award. Working with and being a student at a large state school helped round out for me the variety of educational experiences available to students.From both large and small schools, I have adapted those traits of those teachers who most positively influenced me. In my teaching over 20+ years, the following points of emphasis come to mind.1. All students are individuals. They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. This is a shared responsibility.2. Love of the subject and knowledge of the subject I am teaching go a long way to imparting the true excitement of learning. I have mastered many fields and work to intersperse "real-world" examples into my teaching.3. A Russian author said, "You can teach anything to anyone if you truly understand it yourself." I believe that. I work hard to truly understand the subject and choose not to try to teach a subject in which I am not fluent.4. In my teaching approach, I try use the Socratic Method to show the student that he already knows the answer to his question. I do this by directed questioning, leading the student from beginning to middle to end in a logical progression. The result is a student who learns to have confidence in himself and in applying the information he has already mastered.5. I receive back from teaching students more than I put in. I am constantly overwhelmed and gratified by the feeling I get from seeing the expression on a student's face when he finally grasps a difficult concept.

I am a caring, passionate, and innnovative English language arts and writing teacher who is ready to help children with any and all of their verbal, reading, grammar, or writing needs. I am a graduate of Providence College, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English, taking many pre- and post-1800 English courses, including Victorian (19th c.) literature, Shakespeare's Tragedies and Romances, and a survey course on Geoffrey Chaucer and his contemporaries. I also took many elective courses in creative writing and theatre outside of my major requirements, such as: Theatre Appreciation, Public Speaking, Oral Interpretation, Short Story Fiction, and Prose Poetry. I recently graduated from Stony Brook University with my Master of Arts in Teaching English. At Stony Brook, I took graduate English courses such as 20th Century American Poetry and 20th Century American Fiction, while also completing teaching courses required for certification (Special Education, Human Development, Methods of Teaching English I and II, and Foundations of Education). I am now certified by New York State to teach grades 5 through 12, though I have also worked with younger age groups as a substitute English teacher at Riverhead Charter School (Calverton, N.Y.) and St. Edward the Confessor (Syosset, N.Y.). Currently, I am employed as a fifth grade English/Math co-teacher at Riverhead Charter School, where I differentiate instruction for many students with disabilities while meeting the learning standards of Common Core for all of my students. However, I am not one to sit still and in my free time I would love to help other students improve their ELA skills and also learn to love writing and reading for its own sake. I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in my tutoring help!

I work hard to ensure that my students understand the basic concepts of the material as well as real world examples where this math would be valuable. I work to ensure that they have the best techniques and practical skills to perform well on tests and to be able to do the homework on their own after our sessions are over. I take pride in the accomplishments and skills my students gain through our tutoring sessions.

I am an Electrical Engineer by profession, and a teacher/mentor by passion. My hobbies are Dancing, Reading, playing Chess and teaching. I loved teaching since I was a first grader. My very first student was my little brother, who decided to continue with my tutoring from Kindergarten thru his undergraduate. Besides him, I have about 12 years of one-on-one tutoring experience.

I am a recent graduate of Hope International University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Development with a focus on counseling and biblical studies. I am applying for Graduate School this summer, so I can further my education in Psychology and Cultural Anthropology. My passion is listening to and working with children; and, I hope to become the kind of therapist that families, including our soldiers and veterans, will come to when they need help. While I have been working on my education, I have spent the last several years as a para-educator teaching children of immigrants in California for the "No Child Left Behind" program at an elementary school. I also edit and tutor writing composition for individual clients in middle school and high school using APA and MLA formats, focusing on good research methods, proper citing, and correct bibliography and reference pages. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Math, and test prep. I've always felt a great joy when my students experience their "aha" moment. They have just received something that belongs to them for the rest of their lives - knowledge. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be the key to a high quality of life; and, I try to impart this appreciation to my students by being a good role model, since I am also a student. I teach good work ethics, responsibility, and accountability so my students will not only gain an education, they will be productive and dependable adults one day. I love spending time with my teenager, swimming, drawing, volunteering for Feed The Children and Save Our Beaches. One of our goals is to create the best mac 'n cheese "known to man."

I graduated Juniata College in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Conservation and I hope to pursue a career in environmental education. I have had several internships teaching both in the classroom and outdoors. I can tutor reading, writing, Spanish language and environmental science. I enjoy editing and writing, so I would love to help with essay composition.I am a patient, organized and flexible instructor, who truly enjoys helping students succeed. I believe that everyone should be given the correct learning tools to reach their potential and I will do everything I can to meet each student's individual needs and cater to their learning style.Besides teaching, I am passionate about animals, nature, traveling and meeting new people!
