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

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 through her citizenship exam practice. Another was when I prepped a friend for a lifeguard exam that she had failed twice. Seeing my students of all ages succeed is a joy.
My motto is if at all possible, I want ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a fervent desire to play a role in the education of our children. Since my early occupations in school administration, I knew that I wanted to be in the classroom, guiding students and experiencing the excitement of learning something new alongside each of them. I used this initial motivation to eventually move into education, eventually landing at Choices In Learning. It is clearly evident from my experiences that I have a passion for teaching and, more importantly, for walking with students through each challenge, success, and failure. Through my experiences, I have also learned a great deal about what it takes to be a teacher, a mentor, and a friend, and I have had the opportunity to learn about myself through my interactions with students from different backgrounds. This high level of experience, my ability and desire to try new teaching techniques and my openness to new idea ... read more

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 giving a student skills in their particular content area, but skills they can carry on throughout their lives. Learning gives us the opportunity to better understand ourselves, our communities, and our world. I believe it is important to employ a variety of learning styles in a because students learn in different ways. I will teach to the needs of each student so that all learners can feel capable and successful.
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 Univer ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

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. "Hands on" seems to work best for my subject matter. Students learning is reinforced with many varied activities. A few examples include,writing and performing skits,acting out novels and plays, assuming the roles of peritnent characters, cooking, library research projects,etc. I have not only hosted many European trips, but have arranged many cultural activities for the benefit of my students as well.
I have 32 years experience at high school and college level.Upon retirement in NY, I moved to Florida and obtained my Florida Teaching certificate. I spent 4 years Homeschooling a number of students.I also have tutored adults in French. Teaching remains a passion in my life. I also have taken many students with me on trips t ... read more

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.
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!

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 BA degree is in Business Administration. I worked as an accountant and a paralegal before becoming certfied to teach. I have strong math skills and am currently tutoring a freshman in Algebra. My Florida certification covers grades K-6. As a kindergarten teacher, I was one of two teachers out of eight that was able to get my entire class on grade level by midyear according to the DIBELS standards. My experience as a paralegal focused on my writing skills. I was often consulted for my grammar and vocabulary knowledge.
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 re ... read more

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 waste their time. I have taught high school for two years. In my first year I taught both Chemistry and Biology. This past year I taught Geometry and Liberal Arts Mathematics. I hold a certificate in Exceptional Student Education that has proved very valuable in finding strategies to help students that learn differently.
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 ... read more
