I am a former Social Worker from the Foster Care system. I realized thern I wanted to work with children, but more as an educator. I have been tutoring in World History since I was 18 years old through a group known as The Society For Creative Anachronism. I tutor mostly in Human Service type classes on a college level, english and history on a high school level. I also work with special needs children from K-12. I try to make each lesson unique for my various learners. I have been known to teach in historical clothing, using props from the time period and a smattering of words in other languages. I also incorporate hands on learning such as crafts and some food making. I believe if a method is not working for my students, I change my approach. I also teach in language they are able to understand since their vocabulary is much different than what we spoke in 1970 as well as referneces cu

I believe that patience, hardwork, and consistency is the best recipe for success. I have, and will always, strive to help students achieve their maximum potential. I am a firm yet fair teacher that has the best interest of the child in mind. I believe in using practical experiencs as a teaching mechanism to reach children. My approach to learning will depend on the individual child. I realize that not all students learn in the same manner. That's why it's important to find the child's learning style and adapt to it, whether he/she is an auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learner. My years of experience have prepared me to challenge each type of learner. I believe that all children should know that persistence builds perseverance. As a teacher and a believer in student success, I am very excited about learning. I have been tutoring students in various subjects for the past six yea

While pursuing my Masters in biology, I managed a molecular biology laboratory in which I not only conducted research experiments, but also trained graduate students and post-doc students on laboratory techniques and protocols. Additionally, I taught comparative anatomy labs and embryology labs to undergraduates. My tutoring experience was primarily with high school students in the areas of geometry, algebra, Spanish, and sciences. I feel confident in my abilities to tutor at any grade level. As a teacher/tutor it is important to look for the ways in which a child learns and processes information. I believe in helping students gain the answers and look for solutions with as little handholding as possible - that is to say I encourage them to find the correct answers/solutions by asking them step-wise questions, from different angles, to arrive at the solution. I believe in this way,

I like to teach by example and immersion. So much of what schools preach today is rote memorization, and to a certain degree, this cannot be avoided. But whenever possible, I like to try and find real world applications and demonstrations to get my lessons across to my pupil. Throughout high school and college, I've always excelled in my school work. I was president of the math club and often tutored my peers during my spare time. The University of Florida has provided me with a well rounded education, and I feel myself knowledgable in many areas, from languages like french, spanish and hindi, to the sciences like chemistry, biology, and physics. I'm also very familiar with writing term papers.

I enjoy teaching students in all areas of study, mainly math and reading. I believe in positive reinforcement and specific praise. Also, I believe in teaching to mastery and showing students with hard work they can achieve any goal and mastery any academic skill. As a youth I grew up in the inner city and dreamed of a career as a educator to help those students who didn’t have the support at home to be successful. In 2008 I earned my degree in elementary education with ESOL endorsement. In my first year of teaching i became ESE certified, and my students showed 100% proficiency in math and 97% proficiency in reading.

I met a deaf couple at church and became frustrated when I was unable to communicate clearly with them. I took a sign language class in the evenings at Nova and after four classes I knew that I enjoyed learning the language. I then enrolled at MDCC and took ASL I, II, III, and IV, Communication Skills, Voice to Sign, Special Settings, etc. I tutored for four years ASL I,II, & III students at BCC Central Campus. I continue to interpret for my 2 deaf friends whenever needed. Sign Language is, what I believe, a very easy language to learn. I enjoy working in individual or group settings. I am very patient and can adapt to each individuals learning style. My goal is to pass along not only the language but the love of the language and desire to continue learning.

I enjoy teaching children and adults. I want to make sure that instruction is appropriate to the students' level of proficiency in each skill area. I take into consideration that students perform in a wide range of culturally different situations. I offer the students lessons that are challenging to them with an increased demand for academic context. For example, when teaching Spanish, I use paralinguistics(visual objects, etc), modify my speech, slow my speech until the input is comprehensible and use cognates. I employ useful tools for classroom management, including planning activities and collecting assessment information. I like to highlight the strengths and areas in which help is needed to ensure meaningful learning. Monitoring students' progress helps me to tell how well the students are understanding new material while helping students create and maintain an atmosphere condu

Higher Education has always been my passion. I recently graduated college, in May 2009, with a Bachelor degree in Business Marketing. Although my degree focuses more on different aspects of business financial growth, my dedication to assist others through learning materials is something I enjoying doing. I have one year experience tutoring children between the ages of 4-9. Outgoing, friendly, motivated, ambitious, and charismatic are just some words that can describe my wonderful personality. In life, I see opportunities everywhere and I like to deal with life's seemingly mutually exclusive choices the way I deal with difficult multiple choice questions; I just choose all the above. I believe that all children have different styles or method of learning. I will often give students a choice designing and implementing their own complex learning projects and will act in a consultative role.

From personal experiences with my own children, it is a fact to me that students have different learning styles, characteristic strengths and preferences in the ways they learn and process information. I am very careful with how I provide positive and negative feedback to students that I had the chance to assist by trying to establish a positive learning goals, proper expectations, and rules of conduct for them. Overall my goal has always been to develop in students the capacity for independent action, initiative, and responsibility. Currently I possess a strong background with over 20 years work experiences to include outstanding management, communication and interpersonal skills; a creative approach to problem solving; the ability to inspire others; a proven track record of promoting excellence, equity, and diversity.
