Diverse background

Have experience in all subjects listed as I have completed these courses myself; as a communications major I've worked in public relations and media though I have extensive freelance writing experience. Prior career experience includes non profit and healthcare related management as well as other positions which I believe have been important in obtaining the abilities needed to communicate successfully in many ways; this will directly assist me in tutoring though this is a new area for me outside of my home.
Each individual has a distinct learning style which must be recognized in order to promote and facilitate better learning and achievement, it is essential that a teaching style in the format of tutoring match the students learning style.

I am beginning my Masters in Criminal Justice in March and will continue to a Dr. in the same field when possible.

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 am committed to helping each person reach his or her highest and greatest potential. My goal is to provide each student with an educational environment conducive for a successful learning experience. The tutor must establish the learning setting by creating parameters for the emotional, physical, and mental safety of each student. Specifically, this means the physical location must be without distracters, while the learning content is perceived as helpful, fun, exciting, relevant, and beneficial. The demeanor of the instructor must be serious while being neither stern nor judgmental.
Over the years, I have consistently maintained both high moral values and excellent academic standards. While earning my two BA Degrees, I served both as a tutor and substitute teacher in several elementary schools. My second BA Degree was earned from Warner University in the elementary educatio ... read more

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

More About This Tutor...

I have been a special education teacher for 10 years, teaching primarily Reading, although I have taught other subjects. I have tutored numerous students both privately and through a local tutoring organization and the Learning Resource Center of Polk County. Through my educator preparation and Master's degree programs at Warner University, I was taught to treat students as individuals and to utilize their areas of strength in order to remediate their areas of need.
I love Reading myself and enjoy passing on that love to students. I enjoy working one on one or in small groups with students, which allows you to really see the growth and progress. I believe all children have an innate ability to learn; but some simply need more than the traditional classroom setting provides. I believe in using the student's learning style, and building upon that to strengthen their areas of nee ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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 taught elementary special education for two years with the Lima, Ohio, public schools. I taught high school Spanish and Remedial Reading for two years with the Pike Delta York schools in NW Ohio. I taught English as a Second Language to K-8 migrant children for two summers in Wauseon, Ohio. For ten years, I taught virtually all subjects to K-12 Home/Hospital bound students for the Aurora Public Schools in suburban Denver. Tutoring is my passion, particularly in the language arts areas.
I believe all children can learn, particularly if we match our instructional style to the learning style and needs of the student(s). As the mother of a special needs child, I constantly look to see what other teachers have perhaps missed in their dealings with a classroom full of students. My references, from supervisors and parents alike, evidence the passion I display toward struggling students. ... read more

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 attributes a teacher can posses.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

On a walk-in basis, I have acted as a mentor and tutor to inner city youth in Columbus, OH at the Boys and Girls' Club Milo Grogan Unit. I have taught alongside my mother in Sunday School classes since I was in middle school, which has given me a love for teaching and working one-on-one with students. My BA in Psychology & Sociology and my MS in Psychology has furthered my knowledge in developmental disabilities,a field that I have a passion for since I have taught/tutored children who have learning disabilities. I have also tutored utilizing Applied Behavior Analysis therapy. I have tutored this school year in the home of elementary and middle school students. I currently teach at Adams Middle School.
My teaching style consists of patience and determination. I believe that every child can learn, just at different paces. It would be my job as a tutor to figure out what learning ... read more

I love working with children of all ages. I feel that all children can learn and that even the most struggling learners can improve if given encouragement and success. I am easy going, creative, and patient when it comes to teaching. I find that my teaching style is based on what my students needs are, and because it is based on the different students I am blessed with each term my style is constantly evolving and changing. I feel that I do make a difference in the lives of the children I teach because of my drive and willingness to go the extra mile for each one of my students. Watching my student grow is the greatest gift as an educator and one of the reasons I continue to teach.
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 ... read more
