One on one tutoring style--I provide one on one tutoring sessions that include the use of a variety of instructional strategies including worksheets, workbooks, sight words, vocabulary, Venn diagrams and charts, flash cards, compositions and educational websites. Group tutoring is available that would involve using the same instructional strategies, but the instruction would take place in a group setting of 2 or more students and could involve the Jigsaw method which involves all students collaborating together to achieve academic skills.

I believe that education is the key to success in life. No matter what your social level, getting an eduation is the highway that leads to a better way of life. Education forms the building blocks of a better person. I am a "visual" learner myself, but I understand that there are many methods of teaching, and the goal of a teacher is to find the right method for each student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love being with children and working with them. It thrills me when I see the “light” click on. I know that given the opportunity, resources, and guidance every child can learn. I want to be a part of providing that for children. I also know that working in small group or one on one provides children a better opportunity of learning. I also believe that there are many learning styles instruction should meet the individual child’s learning style. My goal is to reach each child where he/she is and help them to grow in knowledge and ability. I work to help them reach their full potential and to become life long learners.
Before obtaining my bachelor’s degree, I taught a four-year old preschool class. While I was working on my degree I volunteered as a tutor for the local elementary school. I have been trained through the Alabama Reading Initiative(ARI) and recertified with (ARI). I ... read more

I try to keep the material fresh and I avoid boredom and repetition at all costs. One of my best tools to connect with a young person is through humor. If the student feels relaxed they are more likely to absorb the information. I also use reverse psychology to turn the tables so they actually find themselves teaching me the material. This has been a successful tool with children I have mentored as well as my own children.
I began teaching/tutoring while in graduate school. I tutored undergrads in sociology, psychology, and social statistics. I also taught driver's education to high school students while in grad school. After ten years working in law enforcement, I switched to social services and I have been mentoring children in foster care for the past twenty years.

I began my college experience as a biology major. During my studies I found that my true love was not in the field of biology, it was in the field of teaching. I have experience with a varity of learner levels including regular education and special education. My experience also includes a variety of age levels between elementary and middle school. I am currently a middle school teacher and I have taught a variety of subjects. I have taught reading, science, history, language arts, math, and learning strategies. My experience in learning strategies has helped me discover the unique ways in which each individual is able to learn.
I believe that every child can learn. My job as a teacher and tutor/mentor is to discover which way will work best with each student. I am very patient and easy going. I believe in a reward system for all students. If students have something to wo ... read more

Tutoring and teaching have always come quite naturally; the ability to see the struggle from the student's perspective, and recognizing the demand for creative explanations to old problems, are the core of my now developed skills as an educator. I have volunteered in Title 1 classrooms in St. Louis through Teach for America and have been assisting high school students for standardized tests for the last 5 years. My education in University has presented incredible context for my early education, giving it new life and understanding; the "whys" all make sense. My education has also demonstrated the need for understanding, as opposed to mere memorization.
There are many buzz words and phrases applied to teachers and teaching styles. While I perfectly respect all of these new theories and methods of both teaching and learning, it must not be forgotten that each student is unique in the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While biology has remained my main passion, I have learned that a good understanding of all subjects is necessary to succeed in academics. A scientist cannot replicate an experiment if they can’t read the papers or understand the statistics used. For this reason, when I teach, I emphasize the practice of multiple skills to achieve understanding in any one subject. I focus on teaching techniques that work well with all types of learners, particularly hands-on activities. It is my belief that learning should be exciting, not a tedious chore. I strive to foster this enthusiasm in my students.
I have a deep passion for the sciences so my bachelor’s degree in biology was a natural fit. I discovered while working in a graduate program that I also love to teach. I had the opportunity to teach real world science to high school students, which I enjoyed immensely. I learned a lot about diff ... read more

As a highly modivated individual, I have committed to being a life long learner. I completed my BS Criminal Justice online in 3 years. My desire to teach and educate children has remained with me. I have obtained a temporary certification in Elementary Education and will graduate from the Alternative Certification Program at PJC in 2010 and will be eligible for a Professional Certification in Elementary Education. I have experience tutoring students at the elementary level in grades K, 1, and 2nd. I tutored the students in reading and math. Also, I developed progress reports and held monthly meetings with parents.
My teaching style would be student centered. I love to incorporate hands on, creative learning activities in my lesson plans. Also, I relate my lessons to real life experiences. I will assess my students on a regular basis to ensure they are understanding the content.

I have always wanted to teach but enjoyed the research that was available working for a large chemical company. I had the opportunity to teach Organic while I was working and enjoyed it but the time constraints were tough. I am now retired from industry and will be teaching in the Chemistry Department at the University of West Florida. I am very enthusiastic about chemistry and that comes through in my teaching and tutoring. I have made a very good living doing something I love to do and that is reflected in my teaching style.
After finishing my PhD I went to work for Monsanto as an organic analytical chemist. My speciality was the use of mass spectrometry to understand organic chemical reactions and the products and impurities that were formed. While working for Monsanto I also taught College chemistry classes (Organic I and II and the labs). I have over forty publications and for ... read more

I love the written word and reaching people, so I ultimately chose to major in journalism. My love for teaching and instructing students led me to pursue my minor in education. In the past three years, I've tutored undergraduates in writing (grammar, composition, etc), graduate students (editing theses), proofing resumes and technical documents, and tutoring elementary and high school students in reading and basic math.
College students are difficult to work with because they think they know it all. This was a blessing in disguise because it taught me not only to learn different ways to tutor a student, but also to figure out through body language and little signals as to whether or not they were actually comprehending the information. Teaching is not just giving information and hoping they retain it. My teaching style consists of teaching, asking questions to ensure they know or u ... read more

I believe children learn the best when they can relate it to their own lives. Each student has the capacity to learn and to excel if they have positive reinforcement and success. I believe my success comes from knowing my students and what makes them "tick". I have a son that is 7 and has ADHD. It is a challenge for me and my husband to keep him focused and on task. Sometimes, I think children can learn better from someone else other than their parents.
I was a substitute teacher for 3 years before becoming a full time teacher. My BS is in Environmental Science and I am certified to teach grades 5-9 in Science. I am currently in my 4th year of teaching at Pine Forest High School. In addition, I have attended many conferences on increasing FCAT scores in reading and science.I teach with a Co-teacher and have approximately 5-8 students in each class that have learning disabilities.

I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. For me, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students as I share my own passion for learning with them. These children are our future. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students not only to receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individua ... read more

I have taught in many environments under many circumstances. My work as a geometry tutor for a 10th grade enabled me to learn to explore teaching methods that best suited him. As a TA, I reviewed concepts that helped reiterate important biological facts. Because my boss was a Biology Education specialist, she taught us teaching methods like hands-on activities and an inquisitive teaching style that makes concepts stick. For outreach, I acted as a museum docent to groups of students (K-12), catering each exhibit to the age level of each group. I also worked as a science summer camp counselor. These experiences have enabled me to learn my own teaching style and understand the best methods for each age group, kids to young adults.
During my sophomore year in college, I tutored a 10th grader in geometry for two semesters. I also tutored him and one of his peers for one semester in Alge ... read more
