I try to keep students very active in my classroom. I vary my instruction between direct instruction, hands on learning and cooperative activities. I have completed the week long training on cooperative learning at the Kagan Summer Institute. We use cooperative activities in my class daily. I have also completed Quality Schools Training with the Lee County School District. Therefore, I understand the importance of a data driven approach to teaching students. I am very active in my school. I am the chair if the rewards committee, head of my team, the girls volleyball coach, and the faculty advisor of the spirit club. I hold a middle school integrated curriculum certification. I am currently teaching 7th grade math, but have previously taught middle school social studies and science. Prior to beginning my teaching career I was the manager of my family's restaurant business, where I

My teaching style is best described as adaptive. We all learn differently, some more so by doing, others by seeing or listening, and others by thinking it through. Learning is a combination of processes, emphasizing what works best. For me, the approach is to use what works best for the student to learn what needs to be learned, with the underlying objective of the student learning how to learn - meaning a self-awareness of what works best for him or her. The tough learning is slugging it through the stuff that we just don’t seem to get or seems to have no value in our future lives. One book I’ve always liked is “The Memory Book” by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas for the varied approaches for using our brains. My teaching experience has been both formal and informal. I’ve been a teaching assistant to college undergraduates, an instructor in management studies and also an instruc

I provided volunteer services to disadvantaged youngsters in math, reading in Chicago and Florida. I have taught legal writing and was a substitute teacher in Lee and Collier Counties. I tutored and/or managed SES programs for 3 providers in Lee County and was Director of a tutoring Lee CY tutoring program. I have had my own tutoring company since 1995. I have tutored K-12 thru graduate levels, as well as SAT, ACT, and FCAT 3-12. Subjects include math thru intermediate algebra in math, reading and language arts through graduate levels, and history, political science, and biology, geology, astronomy and earth sciences, as well as art history, political science, government and history though college levels. I believe that one particular style is not necessarily appropriate for all areas of studies or for students with varying assets and deficits. However, I attempt to have the student as i

Having an associate degree in both the Paralegal and Early Childhood Education fields motivates me to stand up for the rights of children and to work with and teach young children as they grow and learn. I have worked with my daughter's home tutor for three years and also volunteered in her after-school program for four years. I admire the spark in a young child's eyes when they learn a new word or do something extraordinary. Sharing that excitement and giving the praise and encouragement is priceless. During my ten years of higher education and work experience, I have gained phenenominal creative writing skills writing research papers and reflections of childhood development,behaviors, and curriculum. Teaching young children takes dedication and respect. As a teacher, parent, tutor, cargiver, or whatever role one is in a young child's early years is also an example and a role model.

My teaching style depends on the individual needs of my students. I am very student oriented, and never believed in a certain scheme. If a child has a great visual memory, I use various manipulatives, charts, graphs to teaching the subject. If my student is very auditory, I articulate myself and teach through delivering information orally. For younger students teaching may be successful if it's in the form of the game. In other words,there's no certain pattern of teaching for me. It all depends on the particular student I am working with at the particular moment. I always try to select very high interest material, reinforce students' strengths, be encouraging and motivating. I have Bachelor's Degree in Education, and teaching was the only profession for me since I graduated from University of Education in Russia. My degree was evaluated and accepted at Miami University, Florida. I've bee

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 think learning and discovering is a "magical" experience. My memories of the first time I learned about the solar system and space exploration was mind-boggling. That is what I seek to bring to students--to find their interests and develop them so they have the drive to learn. I sincerely believe the process of learning and interacting with adults or mentors is how we learn social skills and the art of personal interaction that will ultimately determine our level of success. Tutoring is more than helping students achieve academic excellence; if done well, it's about instilling habits for success. As a United States Air Force Academy graduate, I believe in the value of leadership, quality teaching and training. I have a BS in Basic Sciences; my strengths are in math, science and writing. I have strong spatial orientation skills and have written analyses of world military operations

The childrens' therapists at SafeHome always marveled at my ability to get even closed-up children to open up, smile, laugh & enjoy themselves. Gentle humor, warmth & patience just come naturally to me, and are so very effective.(More than once, a child who hadn't spoken a word to adults in the shelter would "return to form" after I spent time with them.) It helps a child learn, after all, when they feel safe & know that someone cares that they succeed! You see,every child who needed my assistance became "the most important kid in the world" at that moment. Without my saying so verbally, they felt that way because of the care, concern, respect, (& laughs) I so gladly showed them! I discovered a knack for teaching while voluntarily tutoring a classmate of mine at Marquette University in English & Creative Writing, (1976). He was a wonderfully bright student athlete, but had never been tau

I am currently working as a full time History Teacher at the PACE Center for girls. I have also had the pleasure of substituting for the Lee County School District during the last half of this school year. Since I was fairly new to the area, I decided this would be the best way to become more familiar with the schools throughout the district. I also have experience working at the Southwest Florida Marine Institute as a business manager. I enjoyed interacting with the students there as well. This opportunity also allowed me to meet some wonderful administrators within the district. Although I enjoyed the Institute, I felt working more hands on with the students would better suit me. I have also worked with a few tutoring companies both locally and out of state. One in particular brought me closer with those living at Our Mother's Home in San Carlos Park (attend LAMP School) I love
