I have been working with children for several years. I started by teaching dance at a local dance studio while I was in high school. It was from this experience that I chose to go to college to become a teacher. I have a degree in Elementary Education and am ESOL certified. I have experience as a substitute teacher and have worked with both elementary and middle school students.
I understand that all children learn differently and I am able to adapt my teaching style to fit the child. I am both patient and positive and I like to give the student confidence. My goal is to not only help the child learn, but to also give them a sense of confidence. It is important that each student believe in his or herself as well as their capabilities.

I believe all children are capable of learning. We need to adjust to help everyone learn. Student- centered learning and constructivism are key components in student learning. Once again, my personal belief of education is "You only get out what you put in".

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more

I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Penn State in 2007. Since then, I spent the next two years as a child and adolescent counselor. I taught clients in a group setting about social and interpersonal skills, as well as aiding teachers in various school subjects. In high school, I took part in an extracurricular program which tutored local middle school children with homeworks and projects after school. I was also a teacher's assistant at my Chinese school, and often conducted lessons by myself.
With a psychology background and as a behavioral-modification counselor, I believing in applying operant conditioning to set and reach goals. It is NOT corporal punishment. Rather, it's a system of rewards that are age-appropriate and motivational to help the learner achieve the desire result at a reasonable pace, which will get rid of the fear and overwhelming feelings of le ... read more

The last four years I have tutored at risk teenagers for a NY public school district. I also tutored privately. In NY I was a substitute teacher for K-12 which gave me experience in the different subject levels pursuant to each grade. Prior to NY, I was employed by Orange County Public Schools in Orlando, Florida where I taught both 8th grade and 9th grade classes. I currently hold a temporary certificate with Florida and am finishing my Master's. My certificate is in General Science 5-9 but I have tutored other subject areas sucessfuly as well including GED prep and FCAT prep.
My approach to tutoring is one of patience, practice and fun. I believe in staying on topic but also be available to detour to relevant topics that may broaden the application of the subject being studied. Through the use of computers, research and practical examples, my students are given different approac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I strive to adapt my teaching strategies to the individual needs of each student. My goal is to plan lessons that will be effective and enjoyable for each student. I believe in encouraging students to use higher-level thinking skills and in providing hands-on opportunities for learning. One of my strengths is determining each student's weaknesses and planning lessons that will lead them on the road to success.
I have vast experience teaching many subjects at various levels ranging from preschool to high school. The subjects I have taught include reading, writing, grammar, advanced literature, and history. In addition to graduating with honors with a Bachelor's degree in English Education, I am currently enrolled in Montessori training, which offers me additional teaching strategies to enrich students' learning.

In my experience, I have found that students tend to learn in their own unique ways. Discovering the methods suited for each student can be a fulfilling and rewarding challenge. Once true understanding is achieved, the student begins to see the fun of learning on his or her own and needs only encouragement to contine.
In the past 3 years, I have discovered a hidden talent and delight which I was not aware of having. As a tutor, both online and in person in the student's home, I have a real appreciation of that moment when the lessons dawn on the student and he or she begins to understand why the correct answers are indeed correct. That must describe the true joy of teaching.

Teaching is my passion. I am an energetic exciting personality that loves to see others succeed. I believe my role as a teacher is that of a facilitator and guide, leading students to the knowledge and helping them to understand it in their own personal way.

I have direct experience as a tutor in the University of Texas at Tyler Writing Center. While working there, I assisted students in all parts of the writing process from initial outlines to proper citation of sources. My more recent positions have all involved some element of training. These experiences ranged from lecture-style presentations to phone, email and face to face instruction.
I am familiar with most major learning styles but do not subscribe to one particular view. To me, effective teaching means being fluid, adaptable, and responsive to the students’ needs and learning styles. Just as a carpenter will use the right tools for the right job, I believe that a good instructor can assess and pick from several approaches the one that will benefit his or her students the most. In all cases, enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject matter are the two most important attrib ... read more

Over the last three years I have worked in Hillsborough County as a Middle School Science Teacher. After three years of teaching Science I had a strong desire to work with ESE and Special Needs children so I became a Sub for Hillsborough County so I could travel where need and work with various children. Prior to teaching in FL, I taught in SC and provided reading pull out in WV. During my time in WV I worked on a dual Masters in Literacy and Elementary Education, but was unable to finish it due to lack of aid. While teaching FL, I have also tutored children privately and with a SES service.
