A Little Bit About Me...

I adapt my style of tutoring based on the needs of the student.
-I have been tutoring successfully for the past four years, aiding not only colleagues in their desire to obtain optimal grade point averages, but also kids with ages ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade. -I have tutored kids towards end of year exams and have turned desperate situations into passing grades. -I received a 1390/1600 SAT score and did not take the ACT.

My comments on tutoring Florida Writes : I am currently tutoring students in preparatiion for Florida Writes.

I have always been a teacher. I taught swimming when I was 14 and French to fifth graders when I was in high school. I love working in education. I believe that all people, young and old, can learn and reach their potential. My teaching style is calm and patient. I have a good sense of humor and am creative. However, I have high expectations for my students and for myself. I find joy in learning and believe that teaching allows me to share this joy.
I have been a teacher for 40 years. I retired because family care-giving required my full attention. My studies prepared me to teach and my experience prepared me to meet the needs of each student. I am experienced in all areas of Language Arts; reading, writing, grammar and literature as well as elementary math, history, psychology and the arts. I can help students with the organizational and learning skills that are import ... read more

Honors High School Graduate with experience in teaching

I have worked at Kumon Learning Center as a primary instructor for over a year, and have had ample experience in working with children of all ages in math and reading (teaching them the basic pronunciation of various letter sounds and words and basic mathematical concepts). I have tutored children of ages 5-12 at an English Center in Jinan, China for two weeks, and have tutored two transfer students in English on a weekly basis during my senior year in high school. I have also taught piano to adults on a volunteer basis for a month, and have had much experience in working with children in learning arts and crafts. As the vice president of Arts in Motion (a service club at our school)and a member of the Museum of Contemporary Art volunteer crew, I have worked with kids from ages 3-14 on various artistic projects. During high school, I was a member of the National Honor Society and have t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe every student has their own style of learing. I am very much a visual learner and utilize this style. Many students, though, are tactile learners and/or find their attention is kept using computers. I love discovering what type of learner each child is. I like to always be positive and instill in my students that they can accomplish anything we just have to work together and discover their "niche". Seeing a child grow and succeed is my greatest reward.
I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work and have worked extensively with and for children including a Case Manager at Clay County Behavioral. I have always wanted to be a teacher so earned my Teaching Certification through St. John's River Community College in ESE and Pre-K through 3rd Grade. I have been a teacher's assistant at Wilkinson Elementary in the Trainable/Profoundly Handicapped class and am now in ... read more

I teach either one on one or in groups with the same subject, depending on how many students I get.
I have been taking classes at Daytona State for 1 semester, but like my credentials said, I have gotten awards through them from my Middle School, and high school. I have been tutoring since 2003. I have had multiple students at one time, so group sessions may be common in my teaching. I am in all advanced classes, and I can tutor in just about ever subjects.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from UNF in 1993 with a Bachelor's of Business Administration in the field of Management. The degree required classes in Accounting, Finance, Algebra and Economics. Mathematics has risen to be one of my preferred subjects, tutoring this subject for a year to date.
I do believe that all children have the ability to learn the subjects however not all children are in the right mind to do so. My goal is to show in real world, understandable terms the subjects we will work on. I believe that if a child is explained the rules in terms and words he/she understands, then he/she will grasp the material and carry it with them into the future rather than trying to cram for an exam with no retention.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in making learning fun. Young students need to be constantly engaged during the leaning process. All children have the capacity for success and as a teacher its my job to give them the scaffolding they need to achieve it. If a student starts with the basics they can build on that to achieve great things. All children have different learning styles. If a teacher can find a style that works for their student they can not only help them with the task at hand, they can also give them tools to continue successfully on their own. I believe in teaching children how to teach themselves.

I am specializing in teaching elementary age students and I have already completed two pre-internships for my degree in elementary schools. During my degree I had the opportunity to ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I began teaching in 1998. My previous job was taken away by forces of nature. I had taken advantage of the Military Troops to Teachers Program with no clear pathway to practice. Until I found myself with a possibility of unemployment. I I applied at a correctional facility and I was hired over the next week. Hence my introduction to the classroom and the world of academia. Over the next five years I was fortunate enough to teach both classroom and computer lab, loving the challenges and accomplishments more and more everyday. My students were adult learners whom appreciated accomplishing life goals. I continued educating over the next seven years with results that were uplifting and inspirational. Teaching requires a heart.
My teaching style is a type of facilitator approach. I realize the with every classroom there is middle level of learners the same as lower and higher ac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with children is truly my passion in life. My teaching style shows that I will have unlimited patience with a student that wants to learn, and shows that by giving it all they can. I notice that most students are this way, and they reap the benefits of their knowledge acquisition.
I procured my Bachelor's of Science degree in Early Childhood Education with a double major in English in 2005 from one of the best teaching schools in the country. I am certified to teach Birth-third grade in the state of Florida and Birth-second grade in NY. I have been tutoring for No Child Left Behind for 2 years now in addition to private tutoring in English.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that students are able to reach their potential when they gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. I have a knack for helping students recognize their strengths and then build upon their strengths to help them overcome challenges they are experiencing. Learning should be fun, pro-active and students do well when they are actively involved with the process - this is achieved when the teacher helps the student make connections to what is being taught. With a little confidence and faith in themselves, students can make leaps forward, providing the student with a positive experience, which thus gives them the courage to tackle new challenges. I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilties and I know I can make a difference in the lives of all my students.
Setting high standards for myself and my students has been a factor in the success I have had with my ... read more

I like kids a lot and have been told several times that I have an uncanny ability to relate to the younger generation. My education philosophy is much like that of a trainer of athletes. It is my belief that each child has natural talent and with good coaching it can be brought to full potential. Teaching is about empowering and enabling children. It's not about hand holding and rote task giving. Seeing a child develop the skills he or she needs to succeed excites me.
I took Spanish throughout elementary, middle, and high school. I then took two Spanish courses in college. I've travelled to Latin America on four occasions and did fieldwork for my MA dissertation in Spanish. My level of spoken and written Spanish is high enough for tutoring at lower to intermediate levels. I spent 10 months in Brussels, Belgium. While living there I shared a flat with two native French ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a passion for children. I have taught Kindergarten for two years, and have seen first hand how children learn and grow in different ways. I understand that all children learn differently, and I see it as a challenge to present information to children in the way that THEY understand it. I am a firm believer that children learn by seeing AND doing! I teach using games, manipulatives, and various other methods to provide a positive and fun learning experience for the child. I believe that all children can do well, and that they need all the encouragement they can get. When children get discouraged they stop learning. I want to provide a safe environment for the children I teach and to form a relationship with them to where they feel comfortable.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is consistent with that of the Montessori philosophy, i.e. hands-on learning activities providing a concrete basis of knowledge that extends to the abstract. Moreover, I firmly believe that if a love of learning is instilled in the student, there is no challenge too great to overcome. I have always been able to win over a hesitant student or one who lacks confidence by making sure the student experiences some degree of success. Once the student understands that he/she is capable of understanding and applying various concepts, he/she becomes confident enough to ask questions, make mistakes, and ultimately master areas of study, including those that pose the greatest challenges.
My teaching experience consists of leading the Upper Elementary classes of the Key West Montessori Charter School and currently Discovery Montessori School of Jacksonville Beach. Under m ... read more

Since graduating, I have taught at the Katzenbach School for the Deaf as well as the Florida School for the Deaf. I am currently teaching Physical Science and Language Arts to 8th graders at FSDB. In addition, I work after school in the recreation department where I facilitate activities for students of all age levels. I have tutored students in Math, Reading, Language Arts, and Science.
While working with diverse deaf/hh and hearing students I have come to realize that every student is different. In realizing that, I know that no two students can be taught the same way. Two skills that I have developed and feel are crucial when working with students are patience and creativity.
