SAT - Verbal Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Captiva, FL

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 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

After graduating from college with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I taught a year of Sp. Ed.,at the elementary level. I returned to school and earned my M.A. in Psychology. I then taught elementary Sp. Ed. for two more years. Shortly after, I began homeschooling my own children. My oldest is now in high school and has been homeschooled the entire time. We have tackled various subjects including Spanish, Algebra, Physical Science, Astronomy, etc. etc. etc. I have also worked as a paid tutor and teach homeschooling classes from pre-K through high school levels. I love teaching all ages, nearly all subjects. I understand that everyone has different styles of learning. When teaching to a group, ideally all styles would be touched on (auditory, visual, hands-on). When working one-on-one, though, it is possible to teach towards that individual's particular style of learning. Thi

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 am currently working with the Lee County School district as reading tutor. I tutor elementary and middle school. Prior to this I taught freshmen orientation (freshmen skills) to freshmen with the City University Of New York (CUNY) at Hostos Community College. as a professor I have assisted my students with writing skills. In addition I was in charge of the probation students and have assisted them with their poor writing skills. I was a Mentor and helped my mentees with English deficiencies. Although I was not employed as a tutor, as a student advocate, I have always "tutored" students who needed this assistance to remain in good academic standing. As a mother of two college students, one in middle and one high school I am constantly "tutoring". As an educator, I know that in teaching "one learning style does not fit all" hence, one teaching style does not fit all.I have experience wi

My teaching style is very similar regardless of audience: get them involved. I use creative exercises, current events, and varied instruction styles to keep the learning environment dynamic. My experience has taught me that learning is more about facilitating and fostering a positive environment than it is about memorizing facts. 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. Additio

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 with a review of the previously learned material. My style, can be best summed up as patient, methodical and constructive. 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-au

I am dedicated to helping all students learn valuable communication skills, become more compassionate of others, confident in their critical thinking, and hopeful about their futures. I create a nurturing and safe environment of mutual respect that continuously focuses on both individuality and building community. I enthusiastically apply all course content directly to students’ past, present and future so they can emotionally connect to the material. I bring current events and pop culture into my classrooms regularly in order to help students develop a healthy respect for both the formal and informal ways in which they can become lifelong learners/critical thinkers. I understand that my students may have both explicit and implicit personal challenges that impede learning, so I take the time to know them individually in order to help them succeed. I feel it is an honor and a privile

I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning.

I believe strongly in approaching each child with a variety of techniques. I let the child explore why, then give concept information. The student then needs to practice, and finally personalize the information. This must be done using both analysis (left brain) and synthesis(right brain). After graduation I taught English for 28 years. During this time I became a Dept. Head. I also was trained to train teachers in learning styles and hemisphericity. I have adult AD/HD. I began working on teaching methods for AD/HD students. I have also trained over 200 teachers. I have tutored students for the GED, ACT, SAT, LSAT, and MCAT.

My success is grounded on my extensive executive management experience. Functioning as an independent contractor, I acquired new business accounts by direct prospecting, needs analysis followed by the presentation of solutions, which generally included the hiring and training of sales people for either outside or inside sales as well as the support staff. I initiated, developed, implemented, and in various projects, restructured existing sales departments and telemarketing departments within the client company’s current environment. I developed sound business protocols for the organization and provided hands on supervision. Employing strategies aimed at bottom line revenue growth, I recruited candidates for sales, tele-sales and telemarketing, I trained them and developed those departments to the point that I could install a manager or management team, thereby architecting the integrati

My goal in teaching students is to assess the best way I can provide instruction to utilize each student's individual strengths and manner of learning. I strongly believe in combining methods of instruction to most effectively fit the individual's needs thereby making the learning process successful as well as meaningful and memorable. My teaching style is creative, supportive and dependable. I aim to make the student comfortable enough in his or her own learning style and ready to participate in the learning process. I have worked extensively with students with special needs over the past ten years as a paraprofessional. These experiences as well my post secondary education in Elementary and Special Education have given me the confidence and skills needed to become an experienced tutor. I have assisted students in various areas of the general education curriculum by modifying instructio
