Basic Learning Skills is one of my top subjects! I hold a current Florida Teaching Certificate with 17 yrs experience in Early Childhood classrooms. I have been a Tutor for 4 yrs. working with children K-2. I have the experience and understanding of how young children learn at this age and I have the patience and passion to make it happen.

I currently have a Florida Teaching Certificate, 17 yrs. teaching in PreK - 2nd grade, and 4 yrs. tutoring. I have always loved being around young children. It was no surprise that I ended up pursuing an Early Childhood Education Bachelor's and Master's Degree. Since I moved to Florida, I have spent time volunteering in Kindergarten classrooms, substituting in K-5 classrooms, and I was even offered an extended subbing position in a Kindergarten classroom. My tutor experience began with a private company for 2 yrs. and now I find my own jobs through Care.com for the last 2 yrs. Even though I miss working with children in the classroom, I have really enjoyed the one to one tutoring sessions so much more. I don't feel the pressure to keep going, when I know the child doesn't understand it or hasn't mastered the skill. This year I was able to help a student in the lowest reading group ... read more

My comments on tutoring Basic Learning Skills : Masters of Education with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction

Throughout my career I have concentrated on working with diverse learners, adapting curriculum to meet learners needs, using presentation styles that incorporate students' multiple intelligences.
I have 12 years tutoring experience at the college level. I also have 20 years of teaching experience in various settings, including college, private christian school, a high school and an alternative educational environment geared towards at-risk students. In addition to teaching in a classroom setting, I have coordinated a GED program to help adults achieve high school equivalence.

Experienced, Patient, Versatile Tutor

have been tutoring for many years. I tutored students of Math especially. All my students,passed their tests successfully, with no exceptions. Moreover, they all left me equipped with good problem-solving tools that have served them in their future careers. I am sensitive to the specific strengths and weaknesses of each individual student, and I expect the maximum from each. It will be fun working together. But it will require effort. I deeply believe that success earned by sweat is the most important gratification in one's life. Usually the student's motivation for the tutoring is the desire to succeed in a test. But I understand the learning experience as a long-time investment, from which the student will continue to benefit throughout life.

Students should be active learners, not passive recipients.

I am a third year education major at the University of Florida. I have five years of experience as a tutor for elementary students, ranging from grades k- 6 and two years of experience as an Alachua County public school volunteer, including experience with students with special needs. My responsibilities as a volunteer included individual and group assistance with classwork, such as math, reading, reading comprehension, phonics, and writing. As part of my teacher training, I was placed in neighboring Gainesville elementary schools as a tutor/mentor. I taught and reviewed third grade mathematic concepts, such as multi-digit addition and subtraction, multiplication, division, number ordering, and skip counting using games and creative activities. The student explored the many properties of mathematics through manipulatives and discussion. In addition, I received a weeklong, 20 hour trainin ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love helping people learn. I like to find a way that helps them remember things, which sometimes mean making a game out of studing. Studying has to be funin order for someone to get anything out of it.
I have recently earned my BA degree from the University of Florida in the field of Health Science. I have future plans to go to graduate school to become a Physicians Assistant, which will take me 2 years to complete once I get accepted. I am in the process of finishing my application now. I have great study habits seeing as I graduated with honors from UF.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a recent graduate from the University of Florida from the College of Education with a BA in Elementary Education. I entered the ProTeach program during my junior year at UF. I have been exposed to a lot of teaching strategies and ideas that have been used in the classroom from the past until the present. I had the opportunity to use these practices in actual classrooms by developing lesson plans to teach elementary students. I have the experience of being the teacher in the classroom and working with students one-on-one with reading and math. I’m currently completing my Master’s degree at the University of Florida in Elementary Education. I’m doing a full-time internship this semester in a 2nd grade classroom in Alachua County.
I am very passionate about the job career I have chosen at the University of Florida. I take pride in being a highly qualified educator by being expose ... read more

I dont have a lot of experience with teaching children in a classroom environment, but I have a 5 year old, that I have to constantly teach different things besides what he learns at school.I have experience training physicians in a complex electronic medical records environment. I had so much fun with this project at the facility I worked with. For me teaching and or training is always exciting, it lets me pass on what I already know, and making sure that the student can learn the most of the experience.
I was brought up by both of my parents, which I am lucky to say they are both teachers. After I was born my mother stayed a housewife, but my father kept on studying, and teaching at many levels. He has now a PhD, and I am following in his footsteps, not quite same specialties but similar. Throught my working career of over 19 years, I have learned many skills and trades. But the ... read more

I have a B.S in Animal Biology. I have had to take extensive science and math courses. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with children. Especially those that are from low income families and different cultures. I have volunteered tutoring children after school. Additionally, I have taken several classes about learning styles, teaching styles, and study skills to improve my own academic achievement. This allows me to better communicate information in the different ways needed. Following, I have experience working with children with learning disabilities, particularly autism.
I really like working with children from low income families. I think each child has a different interest and way of learning. I try to discover these learning styles before I begin the tutoring process. I try to allow them to be comfortable and having fun during our sessions. Most of t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a degree in special education, I am attuned to the needs of struggling learners. I have over six years experience tutoring students of varying age and ability levels in reading, language arts, and mathematics. Academic skills have always come fairly naturally to me, and I have a deep love of teaching and helping students achieve success.
I am an enthusiastic teacher who believes in positive encouragement and praise. I believe all students are capable of learning if given the opportunity, and one of my greatest joys is watching a struggling student finally master a challenging task. I am approachable, friendly, and understanding. I try to make learning fun by incorporating games and interesting activities that students enjoy.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is geared more towards each individual child. Some are auditory learners, some learn just by watching and still others require tactile stimulation in order to learn. I generally use a combination of all three focusing on the one that is strongest for each individual child. I believe with patience and understanding all children can and will learn. I have had wondeful teachers myself and strive to pattern myself after them to make a significant difference in each child's life. I look fondly back at those teachers because they have molded me to the person I am today.
I graduated the City University of New York-Brooklyn College campus in February 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Special Educat ion/K-6 grade teaching skills. I have also raised two daughters, one graduating from Fordham University magna cum laude and completing her Master's Degree in Social ... read more
