My comments on tutoring Elementary Phonics : I was horrible in phonics when I was young. Wish is why I am very passionate about helping children learn to read. There is a learning sequence to be followed, with a strong emphasis on letter sounds to help children be successful. Sorting and phonics games are used often with my students as well. I have lots of experience in this area (K-2).

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

Elementary Phonics is one of my top subjects!

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

My teaching style is focused on the assumption that my students are capable of reaching their greatest potential. I provide a comfortable learning environment, and expect my student to be at ease when working with me. It is incumbent upon me to discover the learning styles to which each of my students are most receptive. I expect greatness and use positive reinforcement when students deliver. I am always evaluating my work, looking for areas I can improve.
For three years, I worked as academic aide and tutor for University of Montana Disabled Student Services. Upon graduation and then moving to Florida, I taught environmental science to students and adults of all ages and abilities as forester for Levy county. Currently, I am enrolled in a second Bachelor's degree in psychology.

More About This Tutor...

As a teacher trainer for the past 7 years, I have taught teachers research based instructional strategies to help struggling learners as well as applied these concepts in my own classroom. Although I primarily caught art during my 17 year career, I also was interested in ways to help students learn reading skills. I was a volunteer tutor in the 1997-98 school year for a program called Reading Rescue that used research based strategies to help below grade level readers, taught remedial summer school program one summer, and have many in service hours of CRISS training.
I believe all students can learn but some need explicit strategies to be shown to them. Research shows students who fail often have less background knowledge, remember less, their attention wanders and they lack automaticity, the ability to recall basic facts. I have a tool box full of research proven strategies ... read more

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 the time I do a lot of question/conversation responses to allow them to find the answer for themselves. I like a problem based learning style, even for the youngest of children. I not only want to teach them how to properly concur their learning material but how to find the information they need if they do not know the answer. Additionally, I want them to have fun and enjoy quality time with a supportive mentor and gain an enthusiasm for school.
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 childre ... read more

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.
As a graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a degree in special education, I am attuned to the needs of struggling learners.
