Entrance Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Arcadia, FL

After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in 2003 in an alternative, urban high school. I taught (and tutored after school) until I moved to Florida in 2009, when my spouse began graduate studies at U.S.F. Since then, I have continued to tutor a wide range of students in subjects ranging from high school Latin, 5th grade Math, college English, S.A.T. and G.E.D. Preparation, and graduate level writing, and I have extensive training and experience with students who struggle with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and ESL issues, as well as with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). I believe that all students can and will achieve academ

I have always loved helping others acheive their goals. Working as a teacher has allowed me to help my students in a subject I love. In a classroom ith a lot of students on a deadline I am rarely allowed the opportunity to discuss the subject one on one. Tutoring has filled the void for me. I have volunteered my tutoring services for one year at the community college. I also tutored at U of A to help students with learning disabilities obtain their academic goals. I have tutored a wide variety of subjects from English to humanities to art history. My teaching style has always been relaxed. I enjoy a good discussion of a text and welcome new ideas. I believe that in order to teach, not only must the teacher love what they do, the student must also find something (at least some what) enjoyable. Therefore, we look for new ways to teach the text. Not everyone learns the same way.

I served 20 years in the Navy, and during that period earned my BS Degree. Many of my assignments were in development and institution of training programs including Equal Opportunity/Race Relations, Leadership and Management, and Professional Development. After I retired I worked as an engineer for government contractors writing training programs and systems manuals for state-of-the-art communication systems. I earned a Washington State teaching certificate for Broad Area Social Studies and History, grades 4 - 12. As a pastor, I concentrated my efforts in teaching theology to my parishioners. I have also writing skills, concentrating on grammar, punctuation, and style. I believe that knowledge is one of the most important facet in developing a successful life. One of my favorite joys is to see another person learn something new and to make use of that knowledge in his life or career. Wit

I retired from a class A school district in Michigan where I was basically the theatre department. I ran an active program for the high school, and produced two to three major plays a year. I also taught all levels of English in the classroom. I would describe myself as a likeable teacher, who got results with the majority of students I worked with. I am an outgoing, friendly person, who understands that students learn at different degrees, but that all students can improve - with the help of teachers, family and community. I am a retired classroom teacher from Michigan Public School Systems, with 30 plus years teaching experience. I have experience at all levels (7-12) of English, Speech Education, and Drama. I have also have two years experience in the areas of ESL/ELL with my previous school district. I have taught primarily at the high school level, and during that time, I taug

Students should be taught as individuals based on their particular learning styles. People learn at their own rate. My philosophy is that all students can be successful if taught by a caring qualified teacher in a positive learning environment. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges of teaching. My reward comes when my students are successful in learning and develop positive self-esteems towards learning. I am certified to teach both math and reading in Florida. I am particularly strong in helping students to understand the basics. I became a teacher because I feel that I can make a positive difference in my students' lives while providing them quality instruction from a teacher who truly cares. My last teaching assignments were in preparing high risk students to pass the FCAT and the GED. My students exhibited a ninety-seven percent pass rate on both tests upon passing my class.

Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way. I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels.

Teachers,as well as students, need to take responsibility for their actions. I have always given 100 percent to my students, and I expect students to give their all in return. I understand all too well, however, that many students suffer from disabilities which interfere with their educations. I have taken that understanding under consideration when instructing. I love more than anything a student who thanks me for my influence or teaching ability; I love more than anything opening a world of learning in a student. Holding a BA in English Education, I graduated valedictorian from my college. During my formal years of education, I worked as a tutor for the Manchester, N.H. School District. After graduation, I obtained seventh-grade teaching position. After three years, I obtained an English teaching position in an academy, where I taught the following courses for seven years: British L

I am currently enrolled in a graduate program for counselor education. I have a Masters in Education from Harvard University and have been teaching high school English in Westchester County, NY for the past three years. During my time as an undergraduate, I developed and supervised the tutoring program for the Minority Student Education Guild, which offered free tutoring to underprivileged students in the Gainesville area. I have had extensive tutoring experience in reading comprehension and writing at all levels and have also tutored students from elementary through early high school in math and science. Over the years, I have worked with students in developing study skills and test taking strategies to promote their success in and out of my classes. Through my experience I have developed my own techniques. I recognize the importance of individualizing instruction for each student.

I firmly believe that all children are capable of learning and are entitled to an atmosphere that is most conducive to the learning process and their individual needs. Personally, I like to incorporate many different learning styles, whether they are auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. Regardless of the subject matter, I constantly try to find ways in which to make the material exciting and relevant for the student. Motivating my students has always been a primary goal. Even though the main focus has been mainly the mastering of various academic skills, I am also somewhat of an academic rationalist in that I feel that all students deserve to be exposed to great ideas that have shaped our civilizations. Even though I have been very active in the performing arts, teaching is my primary passion. I received a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Music from the College-Conservatory of Music of

As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, in addition to tutoring both Math and English as a part-time job. Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs to di

As a person with a Bachelors degree and masters, I feel as though I am fully qualified to teach in numerous areas. I always excelled in subjects in high school, undergraduate courses and my master's level classes. Teaching to me comes quite easy. I have a great way of making sure the student fully understands all concepts and can apply them to any question or problem that the student may see in the future. I will adjust my learning techniques to fit the student to ensure the student is learning at an optimal level.
