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".
I have taught for a total of 11 years. I taught in Prince George's Public schools for 5 years, Hyde Leadership Public Charter School in DC for 1 year, Avon Park High School for 2 years, Hardee Junior High for 1 year, and Bill Duncan Opportunity Center (alternative school) for 2 years. I have a Bachelor's in Biology and certifications in Math (5-9), Biology (6-12), and Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum (5-9). I plan to also attain a certification in ESOL and Reading by the end of the year.I am also interested in getting two Master's, in Counseling and Nursing.

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

More About This Tutor...

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

More About This Tutor...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I achieved the higher-level accounting positions because I am good at teaching myself. This is based on a desire to see the whole picture, WHY something works rather than just that it does or does not. I believe that in teaching others it is important to be positive, to notice when it's time to back up for a minute and re-visit old lessons without shame. What is important to the learning process is to get past the tension associated with the pressure to understand something that you haven't seen yet. I seek to make tasks visible, relatable, and demonstrate ways to cross-check your thinking in order to build confidence.
I graduated Laguna Beach High Scool with awards for Art and Creative Writing and was the only one to take home all 4 possible awards including a scholarship. In colledge I was a Teaching Assistant for 4 teachers, and it was then that I realized my knack for and enj ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For the last decade I have been teaching Language Arts and Literature to students from Middle School to Junior College. My students have ranged in ability from at-risk youth, and students with special needs, all the way up to Advanced Placement students. I am well versed in Composition, Literature, Public Speaking, and Research. I possess a bachelor's degree from the University of North Florida, and am currently working on a Master Degree in Reading and Literacy Studies from the University of South Florida.
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 believe all students have the potential to learn; they simply need a caring and motivated teacher to help them on th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

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.

My teaching style is to help students find the answers on their own. By asking a series of questions you can help students to find their own answers and express them in their own way. By doing this you not only teach them a subject, but you teach them the more important skill of knowing how to learn. I believe all students, from pre-school to doctorate level possess the same capacity to learn. The challenge for educators is to find the style that works best for each student.
My senior year in high school I was a tutor for a second grade elementary class, assisting the teacher with reading exercises, as well as correcting various assignments. In college I took part in the Junior Achievement program, teaching economics curriculum to third graders during the spring quarter of my senior year. After college I volunteered at the Renton History Museum from March 2007 to February of 2009 a ... read more
