If it can be fun, make it fun. If not, make it short.

My motto is if at all possible, I want to make learning fun. When that's impossible, let's get it over with quickly, so we can get back to the fun part. I'm a lifelong learner, so I practice what I preach.
Throughout my teaching and tutoring career, I have often found that I can help my students achieve beyond what was expected of them. At the end of this process, my biggest joy is to see my student successfully working on the tasks without my assistance. I've taught in public school and private school from PreK through 12th grade and even adult learners. Elementary students have learned to read. A high school senior learned to do basic math for the first time in his life. Homeschooling my own children was another such amazing time in my growth as an educator. I love sharing my knowledge, or even learning together with my students. One such case was when I coached a parent thro ... read more

More About This Tutor...

When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me until he/she is comfortable with me. Once they feel that I care, they open up and the learning really begins! When I really get a feel for the personality and whatever particular challenges are unique for this person in this class, I am able to determine the best way to communicate the subject and improve the skills. I like to think outside the box to find the best way for that student to have that "got it" moment!
Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked ... read more

I enjoy teaching and watching children learn. I do believe that all children can learn and should be given an opportunity to succeed. Once I attended a Teacher training where the speaker talked about how all children can learn, but they have different learning styles. I agree that each child learns different and deserves a chance to learn and be taught the manner in which they can learn. I believe and often teach students that education is the key to their future and no one should deny you an education. I am a caring teacher and parent. I have had much success in the classroom and as a tutor. Presently I tutor for another local company in Ocala. But I welcome a chance, once again to tutor a student in their home environment. I have found the success rate is greater when students are in their own environment. I want to make a difference in a child's life and give them a fair chance at lif ... read more

My qualifications include a Masters in the Science of Education (MSE) from Harding University in TESOL and a Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree from Radford University in TESOL and I minored in intercultural communications to help me better understand my students and their families. At Radford I developed my own course of studies in TESL with approval of the Educational Department. Part of this education was completed in Italy. While working In Washington DC I continued my education and kept up with new teaching methods by taking courses as PD or through local universities.
As a teacher I will have a big part in shaping the lives of students. As a teacher I hope to make learning an exciting and interesting part of their lives. For students, their possibilities are endless and we have to make them aware that they can achieve anything. A teacher is not only responsible for g ... read more

Active participation defines my teaching style. I truly like and enjoy my students. Because of this sincerity, the students seem to enjoy it as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to start with a relaxed but alert student in a safe learning environment. I assess the student’s knowledge of the subject then I build on what the student knows. If the student learns best by doing we will have more hands on practice. If the student learns best by seeing we will have more pictures and diagrams. If the student learns best by hearing I will explain more concepts verbally. My teaching style will be based more on my student's learning style then my personal preferences.
My first experience as a tutor was in my college tutor lab. I tutored both college level Math and Chemistry. I found that students I tutored found it easier to understand complex concepts when their individual needs could be addressed one on one. If a student does not understand a concept the first way I explain it we try again a different way, but if they do understand we can move on and not was ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My entire education came from public schools. I was blessed because I had supportive parents and wonderful teachers that shared their knowledge with me. These teachers were terrific role models who took pride in teaching and supporting their students in any way possible. I had a wonderful and long career in Banking due to the foundation that I had at home and the education that I received from caring teachers. Many of the basic skills that I learned in school became the foundation that enabled me to advance in my career. I strongly believe that every child can learn. We as educators and mentors have to find the right formula that will connect with each child.
I consider myself a very practical and patient person. I believe in setting realistic goals for children and when they meet them, celebrate it wholeheartedly. We need to reinforce and support our children in a constru ... read more

My teaching style involves a number of methods to accommodate a diverse classroom. Students learn differently therefore he or she ust be exposed to various styles opf teaching so the student can develop his or her learning style. I am a firm believer that open ended questions and learning through discovery enables students to remeber information. I encourage hands on activities particulaly lab assignments because these labs help students understand concepts taught during lecture. I am very patient with my students because I believe that everyone learn differently and are motivated by different things.

My formal education includes a B.S. degree in Chemistry and an M.S. in Chemical Engineering both from Purdue University. I enjoy teaching and took the opportunity to serve as a Chemistry T.A. (teacher's assistant) as an undergraduate. My master's program also included teaching Chemical Engineering classes to undergraduates. During my career with Eastman Kodak and Vertis, I have been involved with technical training of software applications and processes. I love math and science and enjoy teaching others how fun it can be!
I try to make learning fun and relate it to things that people experience in the outside world. It's so satisfying to 'see the light bulb turn on' when they are shown, for example, how a pinecone represents the Fibonacci series, or a fern a fractal.

I like to use fun and innovative strategies to intrinsically motivate my students. Children learn in many different ways. One of the benefits of the tutoring process is that I can find the strategy that works best for each student. I want to help your children be successful students and instill a confidence and love of learning that will serve them for the rest of their lives. I treat each student with patience, respect and kindness. I believe specific praise will help students accomplish their goals and conquer their fears. Together we can make a difference.
