Throughout my grade school experience I never obtained anything below a 3.0 GPA. As a college student I have acquired a 4.0 GPA and feel confident I can assist with any educational needs. I have never made anything less than an A on any paper I have ever written. I have experience in all fields as I have already completed the basic requirements for my degree in Psychology. English, Science, and History have always been my chosen subjects in school. Math was not my favorite but with time and dedication I overcame any “additional” problems. I coached cheerleading for 5 years as I cheered for 16 years. I feel that experience alone has provided me with an adequate way of teaching. I understand what it takes to aid an adolescent in understanding their goal and exemplifying how to reach it. My goals now are currently bachelors in Psychology, masters of Theology, and doctrine of Divinity. I

I currently hold no experience with tutoring, but I am an Elementary Education major still pursuing my degree and would love to start teaching. I am a patient person, and I would prefer to work with children on Elementary subjects because it is specific to my major. Although I have no current experience with tutoring, I believe I have the ability to help you with whatever you may need.

My teaching style really depends on the person I am working with. People learn different ways. It is important to identify what works best for the person. For example, some people may learn through discussion, while others may need to see pictures or presentations of the subject matter. I like to identify how the person learns first through questions, or by testing them with a simple task first to identify the method which seems to work best for them. Once this has been identified, training can begin. I have both a bachelors degree and masters degree in business administration/management. Both of these degrees have given me a high level of knowledge in many areas such as finance, accounting, math in general, writing, and presentations/projects. I have always been an extremely sharp student excelling in most any course I have taken. I could tutor any of the k-12 age groups, and probably m

I teach with differenciated instruction, as not all students learn the same way or in the same time. I also consider the lear

As a student at Florida State University, Panama City Campus, I have been learning how to educate and tutor children. I currently tutor two children at my local elementary school that are below level/struggling readers.I have been learning how to teach all five areas(reading, math, social studies, art, science, and language arts) that are part of a child's learning experience. I am very excited to student teach in the Spring of 2011 and start helping children more by tutoring. I have worked as a substitute teacher over the past few years in Washington County and have worked in all the grade levels. I am a very hands on type person and encourage students to use manipulatives, pictures, or various other visual aids that may help them further understand the concepts that are being mastered. I feel all children have the capacity to learn but it is up to us as educators to find how to help th

There are five different learning styles that teachers teach and students learn. I try to include all five of these styles into teaching. Although everyone has their dominant learning style, I feel it is important for students to think outside of the box and try new things. I believe in having fun while learning without losing the structure that is required in achieving success. I strive to make a difference in every child's life that I come into contact with, and want each student to be the best that he or she can be no matter what he or she has been told, what hardships he or she is facing, or how he or she feels about themselves. I graduated from University Of Phoenix in 2007 with a Bachelor's in Business Administration. I then went to the Educator Prepardness Institute (EPI) through Gulf Coast Community College which helped me achieve my Florida State Educator Certification in 200

Many of the things in life that we don't "get" are things we don't understand. When teaching, I try to break things down and simplify them so they can be easily understood. Often the kids in my class are those who do not like to be challenged, so I incorporate a lot of questions to provoke thinking and problem solving on their own. Since repetition is a key component to learning, I review a lot which requires patience but pays great dividends in the long run. I try to keep things fresh and fun by adding a lot of variety, and also like to motivate with real-world examples so students can see a practicle use for what they are learning. I am in my sixth year of teaching in elementary school, and previous to that I taught for 3 years (GED prep, Life Skills, Cognitive Skills) at a prison. Prior to that, I worked as a Social Worker for ten years for the Florida Dept. of Children & Famil

I believe that all students deserve an excellent education. I think that parents and teachers need to be role models for students. Although I am very detail oriented and organized, I have learned how important it is to be flexible. It is also necessary to appeal to different learning styles and to use different teaching techniques. In addition, I believe that it is important to have high expectations for myself and my students. Lastly, I hope to instill a sense of fun and excitement when it comes to learning and I look forward to helping all students achieve their potential. My husband is retired from the military and my family and I have lived in many different locations. I am certified in elementary education and exceptional student education (grades K-12). I have experience teaching science and social studies to students in grades six to eight at an alternative school. I have

I believe that all children have the ability to learn. After 38 years in the teaching profession I find each year to be just as exciting as the last one. It is always so amazing to watch the "light bulb" come on with each child you touch. I believe that children learn by doing and am a firm believer in the hands on approach. I have worked the past five years providing intervention for at-risk students at my school. I also work with teachers to help them achieve the very best from their students. I am a NBCT with 38 years experience teaching in the Bay District School System. I hold bachelors degree in Elementary Education and a masters in Reading. My Florida teaching certificate is in Elementary Education 1-6 and Reading k-12.

As a proud graduate from Florida State University, I have earned a BS in Psychology, with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis, along with a minor in Criminology. While studying these disciplines, I have developed an extremely strong background in researching scientific data, a great repertoire of communication skills due to my multiple presentations, and the ability to properly produce exceptionally technical reports and proposals. I have used my wide range of knowledge gained from my various studies to tutor a now senior in high school for over a year, as well as helping others with high school to college level work in the fields of English, literature, psychology, music, math, and science. By having a strong background in an analytical approach to studying human behavior, I understand the process of not only how we learn, but also how to effectively teach. This specific training wo
