More About This Tutor...

Upon enrolling my children in school, I decided to be an active part of their education. So, I assisted their teachers with everything I could. Eventually, I became a trusted part of the school system (an honorary teacher, so to speak). They began giving me more responsibilities, concerning the children of the school. I tutored hundreds of students to increase their FCAT results, single-handedly; I corrected documents, daily; I worked on setting up the computers for the teachers and students, and I trained both to use them. I even learned magic, so that I could help teach the students their studies, in a fun and exciting way. Previously, I opened my own computer shop, and thus, I had a tremendous advantage of all sorts of software, and Internet knowledge, that would help educate the students. Since I had an ADHD student at home (my son,) I was quite active with the ESE program. I helped ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 education major which was earned in addition to my special education endorsement. Armed with a degree in education and proven extensive grammatical skills, I taught middle and high school students in all academic disciplines including Math, Reading, English, Writing, Literature, Social Studies, Life Skills, History, Science, and Geography.
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 ... 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...

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 approaches to enhance their study skills. For me, learning any new subject begins with learning its language. For example, in math and science, vocabulary and usage are keys to understanding processes basic to any application. Finally, I welcome the opportunity to explore you or your child's talents, helping to identify and adapt a personal style of learning to ensure educational success. )

Teaching is a part of who I am. I enjoy helping my students reach their full potential by helping them realize that they can do almost anything with a little patient,understanding, and fun. I use different strategies and manipulatives to help my students learn. To teach, reach, and make your child feel good about him or herself and their education is my goal.
Teaching is what I love to do. I worked as a paraprofessional for 2 years. I received my BS degree from University of South FL. I worked for Wahneta Elementary for 3 years, as a 1st and 3rd grade teacher. During those 3 years at Wahneta, I tutored for Wahneta, A + Tutor U, and Century 21.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a SUNY Oneonta graduate, I sought to continue my goal of becoming an elementary school teacer. I became employed in Schenectady city school district, working in a magnet school for almost two years. As a first grade teacher, I became very experienced and well versed in balanced literacy frameworks. This passed year, all 22 of my students showed impressive gains in their reading/phonics skills assessment based on Fountas and Pinnell, that I was required to give three times a year. Most of my students began the first grade unable to read at level A, which is the beginning of Kindergarten. By the end of first grade, 90% of my students were reading at the beginning of second grade level.
I believe that children are life-long learners and that they continue to learn long after they leave a school setting. Children all learn in different ways, but I believe they are all capable of lea ... read more

I have had many years of teaching experience in both the public school system as well as the private. I have taught first, fourth, fifth, sixth, Spanish and P.E. My most recent employment was at All Saints' Academy in Winter Haven where I taught fifth grade. I have a large, active family that was hard to balance with a full time career. I enjoy children and I enjoy teaching so I feel that tutoring would be a logical choice as a part-time career.
I have always enjoyed working with children and having my own has made me exceptionally patient. Not all students grasp meaning the first time around, and slower learners are just as capable of learning if given the support they need. These students often "fall through the cracks" if teachers only teach to the top of the class. I have always offered extra help before and after school for those that need extra support. I feel like I ... read more

Working with children and young adults is my passion. My dedication for being an educator has developed tremendously these past few years. I like to be able to help children overcome the obstacles they face to help them become better students. I am very patient and personable with children and when I am tutoring a child, I try to ensure I meet the needs of each particular child's learning style.
I recently graduated from the University of Florida with my Bachelors Degree in Health Education and Behavior. I am currently working on my Masters Degree at the University of South Florida in Physical Education and Exercise Science. I am also substituting for the Polk County School System. I have held private tutoring sessions for the past 2 years with elementary and middle school aged children in the subjects of science and reading.
