Praxis Exam Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Bay Pines, FL

Upon completing my degree in Marketing at Notre Dame and after internships in the banking and advertising agencies, I knew the corporate world was not for me. I took a position in the development office of a private high school in Philadelphia. Working there for three years, I was passionate about raising money for education, but realized I would prefer to be in a classroom rather than an administrative office. I moved to a small town in New Jersey, where I found a job teaching Math to 5th-8th graders. Teaching middle school was a challenge I embraced. My goal was to build the students’ confidence and help them enjoy math. I spent two wonderful years there, learning much in the process myself. In the fall of 2007, my husband was transferred to the Coast Guard Station in Clearwater, FL. In January, 2008 I began a new teaching job at Academy Prep in Tampa- again teaching Math, incl

I love teaching and after twenty years experience in education, still am at it! I believe in differentiated instruction, so I modify assignments and assessments to meet the learning needs of each student. I am a very patient, enthusiastic and fun teacher. I believe in appealing to students' interests, since we learn best when we are motivated by personal investment in the topic. I try to appeal to students' multiple intelligences, bringing in art and music to the learning process. I have almost 10 years working as an elementary classroom teacher, elementary reading specialist, middle school reading specialist, and middle school English teacher. In addition, I have worked in educational assessment for state departments of education and for testing corporations.

I take a student-centered, hands-on approach to teaching. Individual learning styles must be addressed, and tutoring is an excellent way for a student to receive the type of instruction best suited for his/her learning style(s). Science can often be a difficult subject to learn, and also a difficult subject to teach; often requiring a careful blend of subject mastery, an arsenal of teaching strategies, and creativity. I have 4 years of combined instructional experience from teaching at public high school and at a state university. I have taught across the spectrum; from learning disabled (ESE) to gifted (IB), as well as college students. A 60-hour ESOL class has been completed (as required by law), and I have worked extensively with ELL students. The following is a list of the disciplines in science for which I have experience teaching: Biology (regular and honors), Ecology, Physica

I am a teacher because I enjoy helping students. I enjoy teaching and I enjoy seeing students reacting to unerstanding concepts. I strive to have students understanding the concepts they are working to learn. I teach at the rate of student's understanding. It is not beneficial to go on without students understanding the previous concepts. Since I have a lot of classroom experience, I can present several explanations for difficult concepts. My students have always done well on AP Physics exams, New York Regents exams, and other aptitude tests. I have taught physics and mathematics in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Florida. I have taught mathematics through calculus and AP Physics. The majority of my experience has been at the high school level. In addition I have tutored students at summer camps. I have also tutored students preparing to take the New York Regents Examinations.

After volunteer tutoring at my daughters’ schools, I was determined to study teaching to have a better understanding of children with special learning needs. As a private college student, I was very motivated to obtain superior grades and I maintained an average G.P.A. of 3.50+ while caring for my children and home. As I began teaching I was involved in extensive professional development courses through each school district I worked. While working with many different teachers I aquired extensive amounts of content knowledge and teaching strategies in elementary education, biology, English, American government, world cultures and economics. As evidenced by my experiences, I enjoy teaching students on many different ability and grade levels. My students found me to be laid back and understanding with high expectations. I believe each student has a unique gift to offer but it takes enco
