Alabama Tutors

I believe that all students can learn, and enjoy learning. Regardless of the differences in the way students learn, patience and creativity can go a long way in reaching and teaching them. All progress is progress, no matter how small it may seem, and should be celebrated and built upon. I also believe that students should be given the opportunity to express their ideas on how to solve problems in controlled environment which allows then to practice for uncontrolled, real-world events.
My teaching philosophy is simple: teach students not subjects. Ensuring all learning styles are met, I practice differentiated instruction daily. The most important aspect of education for me is to prepare tomorrow’s leaders today. I am a “think outside of the box” kind of teacher. I endeavor to meet all goals set forth by my administration, and working hand in hand with my peers, plan to continue to strive for excellence in my classroom and the betterment of every student’s life I touch.
Every classroom presents a unique community of learners that varies in abilities and in learning styles. My role as a teacher/tutor is to give children the tools with which to develop their own knowledge. To accomplish this, I will teach to students’ needs so that they can feel confident and successful in the work they are doing.

Chalk Talk: Where to Study?

Staying focused is a large part of effective studying. Getting distracted can lead to breaks in productivity, and generally less effective studying as information is not as easily absorbed. Different people have different preferences for the environment where they study best. For example, some people like to study while listening to music, whereas for other people, they might like complete silence. Whether you enjoy a bit of background noise, or can’t stand any type of noise, choosing an appropriate place to study can help you get in the right mood for studying. Good places for studying can include libraries, empty classrooms, your bedroom, and more. Try looking for places around your school to study if you find you get too distracted while at home.
