I lean on case studies and items in the news to maximize interest in the learning program. Additionally, I am a consistent user of positive reinforcement.

My teaching style is aligned with Pinellas County. I have over 1,000 professional development hours. Only 120 hours are required every five years to recertify. I am a life long learner and highly qualified. I teach using scientific data, progress monitoring,and by setting learning goals. If the goals are not met I change the strategy to meet the sunshine state standards. I am data driven and teach to the way the student learns. Since I am trained in interventions I am fammiliar with all the programs provided by the school system as well as the computer programs.

I have been working at the same local elementary school since November 2006 working with EBD and VE student, tutoring students one on one and in small groups of up to four and five. I have an A.A. degree in General Education and Music and plenty of experience tutoring elementary school age. I love using manipulatives with all subjects. It makes learning fun even for those that are frustrated with the subject. Since everyone learns in a different way I need to teach the material in different ways to find out which way is best for that student. By using manipulatives with verbal directions and giving examples for them to see covers the bases of physical, visual, and aural learning students. I was not very good in certian subjects like math in elementary school and I had to come up with ways to learn the material on my own. This has helped me to teach students that are like me when I was

My teaching style is one that is more interactive than instructional. I continue to be amazed while I observe the thought process and problem solving techniques, of the many different and varying individuals and personalities. I am at my best in one on one situations, where I can troubleshoot and identify learning challenges in their early stages. I believe we retain 30% of what we hear and 50% of what we do. The remainder is acquired through repetition, which is a byproduct of a passion waiting to be discovered. My experiences involve the teaching and performance of music education. I am a skilled performer on the trombone, keyboards, drums and percussion. I am qualified to teach brass instruments at levels k-12 and stringed instruments at k-5. I have performed professionally in 7 states, Italy and Belgium, while serving in the military. I have created a choir for prime-time Europ

In a little under two years, I have spent my teaching experience abroad, splitting time between contract work in South Korea and Costa Rica as an English Language Instructor of both Elementary and Adult Language Education in 2nd Language Acquisition. In my experience, I came to understand that teaching language covers more than just the basics of speech and pronunciation, but developing ways in which to effectively communicate in which both teacher and student are able to relate the same ideas with one another, which include not only the areas of reading, writing, and speech, but also areas of math, science, art, physical education and wellness, and music as well. I find teaching to be an enriching field that allows me the creativity and flexibility to allow necessary adjustments to the core curriculum based on the student or group of students learning abilities and styles.

I enjoy seeing anyone's eyes light up when they learn something new. Everyone has the capacity to learn, and I reflect that by tailoring my teaching style to each individual. In a classroom setting, I am patient and frequently ask questions and wait for students to ask their questions. While the students are working on their exercises, I will answer any questions. I try to get the student to work through the problem him- or herself rather than giving the answer straight-out. Having a love of knowledge and learning, I have always been interested in teaching. I tutored other students both officially and unofficially from grade school through college level. Just last year I spent most of the year instructing students in various computer-related subjects. I have always been proficient in Math and Sciences, as well as good knowledge of history, social studies, and all other general subjects.

As an educator that has taught in both the private and the public schools systems for the last 19 years, I have learned a great deal.....the child must always come first! My degrees are in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with most of my career spent in Kindergarten and First grade. I have tutored students of all ages, and have even had requested to lower my rates to include a group looking to pass their high school entrance exams and work as a group. I am very patient, organized, and creative and use these characteristics to meet the needs of all my students.I am the tutor that is sought out in March, so the student will have one of the few spots that open up each year. I look forward to working with you and your child. Although I believe the FCAT is a test that demands respect, I do not teach to the FCAT. My instruction is differentiated for each child and if they are able
