One on one or group. Lessons taught, homework assigned, then follow up of homework assignment. My experience, (both academic and work)has been widely varied, ranging from research and engineering to financial management in a corporate environment, followed by golf course design and landscape management. In addition I used my experience in construction and woodworking to build and market patio furniture. Unfortunately the housing depression of the mid 2000's caused the business to be non profitable and was closed. Since 2005 I have been semi retired and used my construction experience to work at a lumber and hardware store.

My experiences include teaching college level courses, substitute teaching in grade school, and in home private tutoring.

Lead the student to find the right answer himself or herself if possible. I have done private tutoring of high school students in math from pre-algebra to calculus and in other subjects. I have also home schooled adopted daughters from lower grades to high school level, including teaching English as a second language. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant in an electric machinery laboratory for non-electrical engineering majors. My own experience with standardized tests includes having taken the ACT in 1971 with scores ranging from 22 (76th percentile) in English to 31 (97th percentile) in math with a composite of 27 (93rd percentile) and having passed the GRE in 1975. Other previous experience includes 34 years experience as a communication system engineer.

I have always seen math in a different way then those around me and have always been able to help others see the problems in a different light to better understand it. I take pride in my ability to help others understand even when they believe it will be hopeless All through school I had an advanced understanding of math and i enjoyed helping others better understand it, for the past 5 years i have been offering tutoring to those in need. I have great understanding in everything up to and including statistics, algebra II, and some calculus.

Everytime I see a student's eyes light up after learning something new or interesting to them it makes me feel like I have done something great. I am a very patient person and love helping students achieve academic success. When a student says to me that they need a little extra help with something it means that they want to learn and when a student wants to learn I am all for it. I want students to reach their highest potential and I will do what ever it takes, pulling from my adjuncting and substituting experiences, to help that student in anyway I can. I have a BA and MA in Communications, I was an adjunct professor in Communications as well as a substitute teacher in a high school. I will be starting the Teacher Immersion program at FGCU in the Summer. I am looking forward to teaching High School English and Speech, while doing Adjuncting at a local college. I have a lo

I began tutoring when I was in high school. Students at the top of our class were given the opportunity to assist in a third grade classroom. I carried this newly found passion into my college years and graduate school years where I tutored students in english, math, and science (biology, genetics, chemistry, molecular, microbiology).Fortunately, I have always been a good student and knew what tools were necessary for success. I have a strong science background, and as a forensic scientist am required to teach difficult material in a way that every juror can understand. I believe learning how to recognize and prevent mistakes is more beneficial than correcting mistakes. Sometimes principles are misinterpreted and incorrectly applied repeatedly. I not only want to show you or your child how to prevent errors, but I also want to help show you study techniques, ways to stay organized, and t

The definition of success varies from person to person, from situation to situation, from school to school, from goal to goal. A success story that I am proud to repeat to all who will listen occurred during the 2003-2004 school year. I had a group of 50 awnery, rambunctious, and extremely diverse eighth graders. These eighth graders were highly motivated. Unfortunately they were not motivated in the area of English, or responsibility, dependability, perseverance, or respect. Though these students had an abundance of creativity, knowledge, and ability, they lacked the focus and direction to use it TOWARD their education rather than AGAINST it. Through a lot of modeling, practice, encouragement, praise, and I'll admit, a lot of begging at times, these students began to become self-advocates for their own education. They began clearly seeing their education as an investment

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference to a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

I began my teaching career while obtaining my Master's degree at the U of Iowa. I taught the entry Business Administration course as part of my graduate program. This included grading, testing, actvities, and coaching students. Once employed in the corporate world, I continued teaching within my corporate position, as well as in adult education settings with Indiana Wesleyan, Univesity of Indianapolis, and Indiana Tech. I expanded my role from adjunct faculty to part-time consultant by helping them development their Information Technology program. Additionally, I continued as a Junior Achievement consultant for 7th grade math courses, and Kindercare instruction to children ages 3-8 on computer skills and general learning. I am a life long learner and teacher. My teaching style is very similar regardless of audience: get them involved. I use creative exercises, current events, and

As a Chemical Enigineering graduate, I was exposed to many courses in higher level mathematics as well as all subject matter ranging from physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and biology. In addition, I have written many papers and essays, both scientific and artistic in nature. I have even been published in a scientific research journal as a co-author. For two years during college I tutored my fellow students in organic chemistry, averaging about 10 hours per week. My style is to give detailed examples and descriptions and then let the students try to work through the problems I have selected for them. Throughout a given session I coach the students by answering all their questions along the way and providing positive feedback. Through this method I hope for each student to increase their proficiency in the material by the end of the session. Each new session is begun wi

I prefer teching differented education (one-on-one)as opposed to whole classroom. Learning ability is a very personal thing, and each student has their own strengths upon which we can work. Teaching reading is an intense endeavor and focus is necessary. Most the students I served were low achievers in a classroom setting. Each needed personal attention. During the past 30 years, I have earned teaching and elementary principal credentials from the State of Michigan. I also possess Masters level Reading Specialist certification taken as an undergraduate on my BA degree for Social Science. As a teacher, I have worked with students of diverse ages and lifestyles. I taught and served as vocational/academic principal in a State Correctional where I also taught ABE/GED reading and math. In the College Success Center at a Michigan Community College, I taught reading speed, comprehension, a

I have been teaching since 2004, after graduating with a degree in Elementary Education. I started my first year in a 4th grade classroom. It was a wonderful learning and growing experience. Then I moved on to Middle School, 8th grade Intensive Math to be exact. I always taught the older students for their level in both the 4th grade and the 8th grade, and I found it challenging but great to find ways to keep them motivated on a daily basis. From there, I moved to my current position and I will be in this position for a long time. I work as the High School Intensive Reading Teacher. I love to teach reading to the students who do not know the basics and you move them up in grade level, in order to pass the FCAT! When they pass the FCAT it is so rewarding! I love teaching children of all ages. I live especially to teach reading! I have been able to motivate my most unmotivated stu
