Latin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Christmas, FL

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY Let me start by saying that in my family we have a lot of teachers, so it runs in my blood?. I teach Economics and Business classes. I have been teaching for the past 13 years so I have plenty of experience. I meet 40 new students a month. I taught for several universities online and on campus. Economics, my favorite course to teach is viewed by many as boring; there are right and wrong ways to approach questions, and finite answers to many questions. Of course, it is far more than that as economics should be viewed as a complex language with many shades of gray that necessitate complex judgment calls. I try to get beyond the procedures. My approach: A positive atmosphere. Students are called upon to discuss questions, but mistakes are treated as opportunities to explore misconceptions, not as a reflection of a student's abilities. A window on the world.

I began to realize my passion for teaching in high school when I started my own tutoring business. After studying English in college, I naturally wanted to use my understanding to help students grow in their abilities and confidence. For the past 20 years, I have been engrossed in teaching--at my church in the children's classes, at home as I home-schooled my three sons, and in school settings in various subjects. During the last four years, I have been teaching students in Latin, Language Arts, History, Mathematics and Bible. I believe my strong communication skills and high energy come together to make me an effective tutor. My style of teaching is highly-interactive as I value the student practicing and demonstrating his growing understanding of the subject matter. I focus on creatively explaining material so that students can experience success.

I am a passionate teacher and I take a true pleasure in transferring my knowledge to students in a way they can understand and remember. I am also a big promoter of “creative teaching”. I believe every child has the capacity to learn and understand if creativity is involved at different levels of the learning process. As an educator, my ultimate goal is to positively impact the lives of children I have had the privilege to work with. I have earned my Masters in Management and Information Systems from New York University and my two Bachelors degree (BS in Aviation Maintenance Management, Bachelor of Technology in Aeronautical Technology)from the College of Aeronautics while working full time and taking care of my family of four children.

I love kids and I'm definitely looking forward to the time when I will have some of my own. I firmly believe in the value of education and hope to help convey that to our youth. I am an extremely understanding, patient, positive, and honest person. I am always willing to help someone in need, especially children, and I would love to have the opportunity to help educate our next generation. I know that for many children, one-on-one tutoring sessions can be more constructive than a classroom full of noisy distractions. Any child can become as successful as they want with help and encouragement in the right areas. I am determined to provide that help and encouragement to our students. I have attended private schools for my entire educational career except for the last few months of high school. I was raised to believe that education is one of the most important things one can attain

I enjoy tutoring because I believe that every child could benefit from one-on-one instruction. Since every child learns differently, it is difficult to reach every child in the regular classroom setting. When I tutor, I figure out what type of learner the student is and I work with him/her to find the best method of learning for them. Academic success is not only determined by intellectual ability, but also the ability to produce quality work in a timely fashion. With the help of a tutor, a child can reach their full potential. Throughout my academic career, I have had a myriad of success. I have consistently achieved high grades in every subject throughout school and have received many awards. I graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in Classical Civilization and Art History, but I excelled in several subjects, such as biological sciences and English. Because of this success, I

My teaching style is interactive and based upon understanding, instead of mere repetition of the matter taught. I always put the subjects in their broadest context possible, historical, cultural or other. As a seasoned instructor in the Humanities I have a long and vast experience teaching at different levels: secondary school, college or university. My teaching has taken place in a wide variety of settings: from a traditional scholarly environment to courses of cultural understanding for the US Marine Corps. Geographically speaking my teaching experience is also rather vast; having taught in Western Europe, North- and East Africa and the USA.

Author and philosopher Kahlil Gibran says that a wise teacher "does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather, leads you to the threshold of your own mind". All students can learn, and each has the capacity that is unmatched by another. All students are unique. I believe that student centered learning is critical for retention, comprehension, and to increase prior knowledge. Hands-on learning can allow students to experience academics first hand. I am excellent at individual student assessment and I can create lesson plans based on current needs. I can adapt to learning struggles and provide alternatives to contemporary learning if necessary. An enthusiastic teacher can motivate any child and the give and take in a teacher/student relationship can improve both parties. I love what I learn from my students, and I value the responsibility of allowing them to learn from

For the past four years, I have spent much of my teaching career working with ESE children and those from low income backgrounds with significant learning barriers. I have been incredibly successful in making learning gains and working toward successful high school completion and college enrollment. I have also tutored students after school and during the summer for the past four years in all core subject areas. My style is very unlike most educators, but that is why I believe I have such a high success rate. I believe that each student should have fair and equal educational access and that each child has the ability to learn. I believe in having the highest expectations for EVERY student. I also believe in making sure that curriculum and lessons are relevant to the child's surroundings, and I practice the strategies of modeling and practicing the concepts or assignments with the student

My teaching philosophy is modeled on learning-centered and social constructivist theories. I take an Aristotelian approach in the classroom, guiding students both by lecturing and asking questions. I encourage students to ask each other questions and connect their education to the “bigger picture,” or the world outside the classroom. I believe in collaborative learning practices with mixed- and new-media informing student learning. As a tutor, I listen attentively to students and parents about individual learning concerns, find where learning weaknesses lie, and attempt to find a learning avenue more suitable for the individual learner. In a one-on-one setting, I tailor curriculum based on student level, interest, and attitude. More importantly, I believe learning should be fun and engaging; therefore, I try to engage students every moment to make the lessons easier to absorb and unders

The joy of teaching has permeated my professional career, whether as Director of Education at three churches, the editor of a curriculum line, a substitute teacher filling in at the last minute, a well-traveled seminar/workshop leader, a freelance writer of curriculum and classroom tools; the volunteer facilitator of an ongoing weekly class, or most recently, as an educator at a small academy, teaching Creative Writing, Journalism and Latin in an impoverished area of Orlando. I have enjoyed investing my teaching gifts in students ranging from preschool to those in assisted living facilities. My enthusiasm for learning has taken me from English labs in Caracas, Venezuela, to Upward Bound Camps in rural Virginia. It has been my experience that every child can learn when taught with enthusiasm, care, and creativity. I attempt to lead students in discovering for themselves, as opposed to del
