Carlos B L. - Tutor in Lawrenceville, GA (30043)

I have been a teacher for 19 years. First, I earned my degree in Art at the State University of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, (U.A.S.D.). I later earned a bilingual teaching degree from U.N.P.H.U., also in Santo Domingo. After teaching for 6 years in the D.R., I moved to Pittsburgh where I taught for the following 10 years. While in Pittsburgh, I received the "Walmart Teacher of the Year" award. I moved to Georgia 3 years ago and I have been teaching Art and Spanish, among other subjects, at a local Christian school. I love my job and really enjoy interacting with struggling students. I do my best to raise the student's self-esteem and to help him/her believe that he/she can do better. I am fluent in Spanish and I use my artistic talent to enhance my teaching style. I am warm, approachable, and flexible. My experience with students for the last 19 years, as well as with my own three children, has empowered me to be patient, understanding, yet consistent in my approach. In addition to my experience as a school teacher, I have worked as an in-home tutor for the last three years.

• elementary (k-6th)

  I have been a school teacher for the last 19 years. Although I have taught Spanish in the High School level, most of my experience has been with the elementary level. I have taught all the core elementary subjects multiple times. In addition to my experience as a formal school teacher, I have worked as a tutor for the last 3 school years, assisting elementary students in all subjects.

• religion

  I have taught World History several times. As part of that curriculum, I have studied and taught on the different world religions. I have conducted teaching sessions on the differences of the main religions as a Youth Pastor. I have also taken multiple seminars on religion during my 19 years as a teacher, both in Pennsylvania as well as in Georgia.

• ESL/ESOL

  My first teaching job was as an ESL teacher. I am fully bilingual in English/Spanish. I can relate to the frustrations and struggles that students from other languages go through. I am patient yet determined to help my students improve. I have taught English to Spanish-speaking students in the elementary level. I have also taught Spanish to students in all levels, including adult.

• Bible studies

  I have been a Christian for over 25 years. I have studied the Bible on my own, as well as in multiple Bible seminars throughout my 19 years as a teacher, in the Dominican Republic, Pennsylvania and Georgia. I have taught different Bible curricula in all the Christian schools where I have worked. I have also worked at my local church as a Youth Pastor for multiple years. In addition to teaching the Bible as a Youth Pastor, I personally believe the Bible to be the authoritative Word of God. I read it daily and do my best to apply its truths to my personal live.
