15 years experience in a broad variety of subjects!

I have been tutoring for over 15 years both in students homes or at public locations such as coffee shops or the public library. My education and experience are broad. I was educated at "Ivy League" level schools and purposefully educated myself in a large variety of the humanities, which in essence all tie together. Basic courses up through most High School material outside of the Humanities are not difficult. Actually, while my education has been primarily in the Humanities, the material I see the most in tutoring is Algebra and Geometry!
I have a way of perceiving the difficulty the student has, and am able to explain the material in a simple way that makes it easy for students to grasp. I have a good rapport with my student and have had several that have told me that I am the best teacher they have ever had(which didn't hurt my ego!!) I also have a good sense of humor whic ... read more

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

I am patient and creative when it comes to teaching and visually showing my students different ways to apply what they learn.
I have been tutoring for many years both privately and for Title I schools. I have tutored k-12, as well as college students in most subjects. I love the arts, writing, and science. I have a passion for getting students interested in learning, getting creative, and learning art as early as possible. The same method applies to math and science, where I try to get students to see their subjects in different ways and apply the learning to what they love most or at least can relate to better.

Florida Certified Educator for Elementary to High School

I have two decades of experience in education. My first 10 years were spent in adult education training adults to work in various organizations in the business world. My last 10 years have been spent in public education classrooms working as a teacher for elementary, middle, and high school students. I have taught core content courses at each level. Therefore, I understand how each grade level builds upon the teaching and learning of the previous grade level.
I have a collaborative style of teaching. My ultimate goal is to get students to think, regardless of their age. With younger students, I tend to be much more directive so that we accomplish intended learning. With middle and high school students, I ask "Why" and "How do you know" quite often so that they learn to provide evidence for their thinking. Getting the RIGHT answer isn't the goal -- understanding and developi ... read more

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

As a graduate from Florida Atlantic University, I have been given the opportunity to study important concepts that outline students' education. I have gained experience in creating and developing lesson plans that accommodate and fit different learning styles in my class.I completed my student teaching in a first grade class. I specialized in teaching Reading and Science. I deveopled small group lessons that focused on specific reading skills and provided guided practice for students to strenghthen thier reading levels.
As an educator, working with children has been the most rewarding career path. I enjoy using creative methods of teaching to guide my students in reaching thier full potential. Students learn in a variety of ways, and I believe that as an educator it is my role to expose students to various learning projects that will allow them to be hands-on.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 learning. This opens up a two-way street of communication and expectations. I also believe in personal responsibility, because ultimately, it is the learner who will retain and utilize the skills and knowledge he or she picks up.
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 s ... read more

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. )

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

More About This Tutor...

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 have always tried to instill confidence in all of my students.
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 ... read more

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 started my experience as a counselor at YMCA for 4 years. Here I discovered that I had a passion for teaching young minds. I went on to working for MOSI as a teachers assistant for 2 years. Here I was able to practice my teaching style by tutoring and teaching children with science experiments. I applied to Nova in 2008 to get my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. I just recently finished my internship teaching 5th grade at Garden Grove Elementary School in Winter Haven. I have passed the General Knowledge and Professional Education exam and am still in the process of taking and passing my Subject Area test in Elementary Education.

My Style from the beginning is to involve the parents and the student in the work ahead.I cover all the material in depth and offer counselling on study methods and give extra tables and information to be used during the instructions. As we progress I change the methodology (if necessary)to help the student feel more comfortable and confident in what he is learning.I am patient and a low key teacher. My only goal is the pursuit of knowledge for both the student and myself. If the teacher is not learning from his students then he is not growing and therefore will not be able to help this student or any others in the future.
