I have a Masters Degree in School Psychology, and 24 years of experience in assessments/interventions of children with learning difficulties. I retired as a School Psychologist in June of 2010, and am already missing working with children. I have spent time in the classroom observing teachers and have knowledge of the curriculum. Between earning my bachelor and master's degrees, I enrolled and completed a college class in reading instruction. I have attended workshops in teaching students with dyslexia and working with children with autism.
Every child has personal strengths and weaknesses. Enabling children to believe in themselves is crucial to their success. I was told as a child I couldn't carry a tune, and to this day I am afraid to sing out loud in church. I understand how important a child's feelings are, and am very patient. I believe in interaction with the student, n ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and I have a varied background of knowledge and history. It is important for me to realize that different students have different learning styles and bring different levels of maturity, interest and motivation to the classroom. My students all have different cultural backgrounds and educational abilities. I have received high reviews from my students, students’ parents, and co-workers. I can say that my efforts are successful and their feedback over the years have provided me with an excellent tool to gauge the effectiveness of my classroom methods and to strive for better teaching standards and strategies. I strive to make a difference in a child's educational life as well as their life in the community.
Every instructor brings a variety of personal knowledge and experience to their profession. During my ten years as an instructor of Special Education, I hav ... read more

After graduating college, I worked at a local children's shelter as the Director of Outreach and Prevention. Through this position I was allowed to work with at-risk children in the Marion County School System (through an interagency agreement). In an attempt to reduce truancy, our agency focused on literacy and tutored children in reading (both in the school system and out in high-risk areas in the community). I loved this so much I went back to college to become certified in Exceptional Student Education, and began teaching at Belleview-Santos Elementary, then at Ocala Springs Elementary. I have been on family leave since 2005, but kept my certification current and have taken coursework leading towards a Reading Endorsement.
Hands on! I taught (and LOVED) K through 3rd grade self-contained EMH students (ranging from autistic to learning disabled, all speech-language impaired). I ... read more

I love working with children. I believe that all children are capable of learning if they are given the opportunity. I believe that students learn best in a hands on engaging enviornment where they can put the skills they have learned to use. I feel that by providing an opportunity for a child to reach their full potential, and showing them the patience and encouragement they deserve, every child will succeed and lead the world into a brighter tomorrow.
As a youth I desired to become a teacher. I come from a long line of classroom teachers. My mother is a teacher, my grandfather was a professor at the University of Florida, and both great-grandmothers were educators as well. I have experience working with children since in high school where I worked summer camps, in college working with after school programs and tutoring those students, to graduating college and implementing teac ... read more

I have attended CFCC and FCCJ. I am currently attending Liberty University for my Bachelor in Education. I have been teaching for about 7 years and through that time I have learned an extensive amount not only through in-services and training classes, but through my colleagues. I feel very confident in my ability to reach children that feel that they just can't get it. I have two children of my own, which I homeschooled for a year. My daughter, who is 13 years old, has Dyslexia and short term memory processing issues. I have learned so much just by teaching and tutoring her. I have taught K-3 thru 8th grade. I have tutored k-5 thru 12th grade in Reading and phonics.
I feel very strongly about a differential approach to my teaching methods. I believe every child is different and learns differently then the next child. I feel confident in developing a lesson plan that can be diverse ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a student at the University of Florida, I am very driven to succeed in academia as well as help others. I have taken several credit hours of education classes. Additionally, I hold a paraprofessional certificate which allows me to be a teacher assistant. During the past couple of years, I have tutored all aged students in math and ACT preparation. I have strong writing and reading skills in English and adequate abilities in Spanish. I have also substituted at a private school which specializes in learning differences so I have a sufficient understanding of many different learning types.
I really enjoy working with youth and helping them learn. I have faith that all children can flourish given the proper chances. I believe in making learning enjoyable, which is why my teaching style is based on mutual respect. I am patient, laid back, and I employ a rewards-based learning system. ... read more

I like to start with a relaxed but alert student in a safe learning environment. I assess the student’s knowledge of the subject then I build on what the student knows. If the student learns best by doing we will have more hands on practice. If the student learns best by seeing we will have more pictures and diagrams. If the student learns best by hearing I will explain more concepts verbally. My teaching style will be based more on my student's learning style then my personal preferences.
My first experience as a tutor was in my college tutor lab. I tutored both college level Math and Chemistry. I found that students I tutored found it easier to understand complex concepts when their individual needs could be addressed one on one. If a student does not understand a concept the first way I explain it we try again a different way, but if they do understand we can move on and not was ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I possess 10+ years of experience in the field of school psychology. My current dual Florida certification includes the instructor of Foreign Languages (K-12 Spanish) credential. I pursued direct hands-on experience as an instructor of non-traditional (GED for under 18, adult, and bilingual) students and as a college level adjunct professor. In the latter position I was trained as a distance-learning instructor. This experience expanded my “bag of tricks” in the development of ideas using technological applications to assist struggling students and the teachers that serve them.
Education is one of the best tools anyone could have to build a fulfilling life. It is my experience that students that require that extra boost through tutoring succeed when a role model that demonstrate the skills demanded for their grade level is demonstrated step by step. I emphasize on showing stu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When I can help other students understand a concept that was once very confusing for them, I feel very satisfied. I am very flexible in my teaching methods. Primarily, I like to understand the learning styles of my student so I know what will best work for them. I will do whatever it takes to make sure the student understands the concept and succeeds. I also like to encourage students by implementing different incentive programs; this will motivate them to continue working hard. I am extremely confident that I will be able to teach my students successfully in a fun and engaging manner.
