Read More About Rachel B...

My teaching philosophy and style is founded upon the belief that all children are brilliant and can succeed. My approach to teaching is highly individualized and targeted to meet a student's specific needs. If your child is struggling, I believe in figuring out the root of the problem, boredom, trouble reading or note-taking, learning style, and then finding strategies that address that difficulty directly. In teaching, I am patient, motivated, and fun. I like to make whatever I'm teaching come alive for the student. I want my students to understand that learning is a life-long process where they can explore the world; not something they are forced to do, but something that they get to do. So let's have some fun with it.
I have earned a bachelor’s degree in History and English, as well as a master’s degree in teaching. My educational background has given me a wide range of knowledg ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have 20 years experience in the marines, so I have a no nonsense approach to teaching and tutoring. My own two children (boys, now grown) will tell you that despite my military bearing, I am patient and understanding with kids. I believe the best way to teach children (or anyone) is to create the conditions that will encourage and allow them to teach themselves. I believe that adults model for children continuously. Children mimic our thought processes and our problem solving techniques. We teach best through example. My goal has always been to give children the tools and self-confidence to think and explore for themselves. I model self-confidence and creative problem solving. I encourage kids to ask questions and develop the skills for finding the answers. I mentor as much as I tutor.
I have always excelled in school. My master's degree GPA is 3.8. my undergraduate degree GPA is ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I tailor my teaching style to the student. Throughout the years I have recognized that each student has a different way of learning and I make it my goal to adapt to them, to try to reach them in a way that is most effective for the individual. I have a strong sense of academic excellence and try to instill the core values of diligence, focus, and perseverance on each student. I also try to make learning enjoyable by providing real world examples and reasons for why we need to learn what we are required to learn. Even though my educational background is in science and math, I place significant emphasis on the importance of having good English grammar, writing, and reading skills and being generally well-rounded academically.
I own my own science consulting firm and like to dedicate a certain percentage of my time to education and public outreach projects including teaching, mentori ... read more

I enjoy teach with all different age levels. Most recently, I taught 4th grade science through the FSU Teach Program. It was fun and really showed me how to teach students and make the lessons engaging and fun. Its important to keep the child focused. My goal is to make sure a student learns something new everyday that she/he will remember.
I achieved an AA degree at Florida Community College at Jacksonville. I am currently continuing my education at Florida State University where I am pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Biology. I will graduate in Spring of 2010. After, I will continue to Dental School to become a dentist.

A Little Bit About Me...

As stated earlier, All children can learn. I believe that all children have different learning abilities and it takes a positive ad patient teacher to notice and react. I am very patient, caring, and supportive. If a child is struggling to master certain objective, then it is my responsibility to provide all avenues to ensure success. There is no "u" in team. We will all work together to achieve the possible. I work hard with all my students and I never give up. I am an encouraging teacher who insists on making learning fun and interesting. I am a young teacher with a lot of energy. Therefore, I am more than willing to energize all children and encourage them to make learning a sport.

A Little Bit About Me...

Having a minor in psychology gives me a unique approach to teaching and dealing with children. I have taken several classes dealing with human cognitive and psychological development, and I bring that knowledge with me when I teach. I am patient and understanding. I realize that every child is unique, and that the best method for successfully learning is one that is narrowly tailored to meet the needs of each individual student. Education is the variable that is most highly correlated with future success, and should be our top priority if we wish to offer our children the best opportunity to succeed. I will be that advocate your child needs, ensuring that she or he receive every advantage that a first class education can offer.

A Little Bit About Me...

For three years at Florida State University I was enrolled in an excellent teacher education program. At the end of the program I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Social Science Education. While at Florida State University I received three certifications, Social Science Education (6-12), Professional Educator for (All Grades) and Integrated Curriculum (5-9). Obtaining the Integrated Curriculum certification made it so I can be certified to mentor and tutor students in all major subjects. Since then I have worked with multiple young students on both strengthening their education and building character. I feel that I develop not only better students, but better young men and women.
Each student learns in their own way and sometimes that way is not in a classroom setting. A teacher to me is someone who has developed a way to make each student understand the subject matter. Th ... read more

I’m a 2007 Masters graduate in Communication, concentrating in OD and interpersonal communication. As a paralegal I trained business people about legal topics and legal people about how to do their job. As an instructor for Princeton Review I worked with a world class test prep course. As a sub in Montgomery County MD I was a preferred choice of Reading and Social Studies teachers in the schools I served. I developed the session program for the 2006 Florida Government Technology Conference and observed the distance learning operations at FSU. I'm currently developing an awareness program for Middle Schools that will highlight the important connections between nature, food, and population and the choices we make each day.
I teach in the hope that students will discover the wonders of knowledge for themselves and take that experience with them wherever they go. I use analogy and hum ... read more

I have tutored students of various levels and various walks of life on both a free-lance and organizational level. I pride myself in my tutoring experience and truly enjoy the activity.
I value shared goals for each session and encourage open conversation to cultivate ideas. Typically asked to assist on all levels of essay-writing, I start with the question and expectations. As an editor, I am extremely thorough. I make sure the student understands any edits that I mark are an attempt to help that student best learn. I walk through all edits with the student.

I was employed as a Physical Education, Pre-k Counts and After School Lead Teacher. I accepted this position because of the emphasis on helping youth develop their educational, emotional and social skills.

As a poet, recent MFA graduate, literary magazine editor, substitute teacher, and college writing instructor, I’ve spent the better part of the last eight years developing a command of the virtues of prose and their instruction. During that time I've had the privilege of working with a diverse array of students, both young and old, developmentally disabled and gifted, traditional and ESL. In addition, for grades K-12, I've taught nearly every subject offered in the Anchorage School District.
If there's one thing I've learned from my last several years of teaching, it's that each student learns in his/her own way, and it's the job of the teacher to perceive those needs and tailor their teaching style to meet them. Although society is more aware of this now than ever before, today's classroom structure is severely detrimental to meeting a diverse array of needs. Tutoring is one way t ... read more
