Sculpting Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Captiva, FL

All through high school and college I was a tutor. I have taken numerous writing extensive courses. This qualifies me to tutor English. I have also taken many courses that concentrated on Social Studies. Science was always one of my favorite courses in high school, therefore I took a few science courses in college as well. I have previously tutored students in test preparation, and I have taken the FCAT myself. Math was another strong subject of mine, and I have also tutored students in this area as well. I feel that I am a natural educator. I often find my self teaching people simple tasks at work, or being called upon by friends and family members to assist them, or their children with their homework. I like to keep learning fun and interesting for all students. I believe that if you invoke an emotional response, like happiness, when you are teaching something, the pupil is much more l

I prefer a very one on one style where I can figure out where the student currently is in the subject. I like to try to cater my teaching style to each students personality so that learning can be easy and fun. I often tutored fellow students through my high school career. I mostly focused on Reading, English, History and Science. Rarely did I tutor in Mathematics. I received my Educational Paraprofessionals certification in May of 2009, scoring one point shy of perfect. The certification allows me to be a teachers assistant in side classrooms in Lee County Florida.

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. Children have to trust you, feel comfortable with you, and must like you in order for them to respond to you. During positive interactions with elementary school students I also work on communication, social, and emotional skills. My goal is to provide an easier method for struggling students to learn without the frustration. That was exactly what I did for my daughter. I believe that young children are our future and have to be prepared for every challenge in the 21st century. 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 am a firm believer that we are learners for life and that our yearning to learn starts at a very early age. I feel that children should be given every opportunity to succeed so support of their inquisitiveness is essential. As children mature into middle school and high school, I have found it becomes even more important to sustain their interests and help them to develop these into life-long learning and living practices. Even with young and older adults, I try to help those I mentor find their passion, support their growth, and celebrate their successes to the level they feel capable and beyond. Creativity has always been at the forefront of my personal and professional practices. I earned a Masters in Fine Art degree with a concentration in Interdisciplinary Arts which has allowed me to use a variety of artistic methods - visual art, electronic music composition, as well as creat

Students learn best when they are doing. My teaching is style is a mix of modeling, hands-on and critical thinking. Depending on the subject and age, I enjoy having students use manipulatives or answer small real-life dilemmas as to understand concept better. In lessons I have taught, I focus on the learning objectives and match strategies that will help bring the information in the best way to each student, depending on their learning styles and background knowledge. I also like to start with an inviting introduction to pique interests’ into students. I assess frequently to see how student are doing in a lesson (or where there needs to be improvement) by using simple observations to small meaningful activities.

I hold a B.S. in Wildlife Biology and an M.S. in Environmental Biology. I entered college later in life and worked and paid my own way through. I have excellent writing skills and am proficient in nearly all areas of biological sciences. Specifically, I am well versed in the areas of taxonomy, evolutionary biology, and anatomy of both plants and animals. Though I am an easy going person, I am no nonsense when it comes to learning. I am non judgmental about a person's ability to learn, only their dedication and willingness. I believe anyone can excell in any subject, if they simply have the will to do so.

I have worked with children since high school as a baby-sitter. Now I am involved in the education field and could not be happier. I have worked hard in my own education to learn how to be the most effective teacher I can be for your children. I have learned numerous techniques on how to teach all sorts of concepts. As a teacher, I believe if the lesson is intriguing to the student, then they will learn. My goal is to find out what works best for your child as a student and then make sure that their academic needs are met. Our tutoring sessions would be full of knowledge, but also enjoyable. An engaged student, is a student who learns. I hope to teach all my students to the best of my ability. I am a senior at Florida Gulf Coast University.

I am a very recent graduate of Penn State where academics are a main focus. I have a B.S. in Psychology and a B.A. in Political Science and feel qualified to tutor in spelling, writing, English, reading and related subjects. I would tutor a student in other subjects on a case by case basis. I have written a lot of papers and am very good at grammar. I have been an English tutor to foreign adults and my students always do well and enjoy learning. I am a very patient person and my teaching style reflects that. I will always make sure your child understands the concepts that the teacher is trying to teach. Even when he or she shows that the material is understood I will always go over it a few more times to make sure it really sticks. Everyone has a learning style that works best for them and I will try to figure out the method that will allow your child to improve the most. I will also try

I enjoy working with students of all ages and ability levels. I meet them and determine their learning style as well as general abilities. Helping each student to discover his or her strengths is key to success in tutoring each client. Working with classroom teachers or counselors is also very important as communication should be a strong link in the ability to pinpoint areas of need. Being positive and encouraging is a hallmark of good and successful tutoring. My students enjoy our sessions and the older students recommend me to their friends as well. I worked in California for one year as a substitute teacher; I worked for three years in a Christian School first in a 3-4 combination, then a 5-6 combination, then a 4-5 combination.
