I subscribe to a comprehensive overview initially to provide a basic structural outline of course content and criteria for learning goals. Students can then "fill in" this overview outline as new content is introduced, with open discussion and query to gain additional insights. Daily affirmation of progress with focused discussion addressing areas of needing improvement to keep engaged with consistent monitoring. Assessments should be brief with subsequent feedback soon after testing. Keeping within the overview outline while working each course section will serve to assist in learning comprehension and retention while developing a long term knowledge of the overall course curriculum. At Miami Dade College ADA services, I tutored learning disabled college students in areas of algebra, social sciences, biology, English writing and comprehension for (2) years.

As Director of Financial Aid I taught 1 class per quarter at the Freshman college level in Career Skills. The course focused on Financial Aid, budgeting, loan repayment, personal fiscal responsiblity, dressing for success, study skills, and professional behavior. I was also Director of the Grant Summer Program for children 6 to 12 and Head Counselor of Camp Rede for children 4 to 6. As Finance Director I also taught Financial Aid concepts, regulations, and processes to current and continueing employees. Many former employees went on to become Directors themselves. My teaching style is candid and engaging. I believe that every student can succeed. I am forthright in teaching information and use feedback to ensure that concepts and ideas are grasped by the student. My approach is holistic in that I beleive each student's individual circumstances must be considered when teaching. My go

I have a BS degree in Interdisciplinary Natural Science and a Minor in Public Health. I worked for USF Housing and Residential Education. I also was a Peer Leader for Chemistry where I was basically a Teaching Assistant and led two sections by myself. I like the child to feel comfortable with me to where they are at ease and readily ask questions. I prefer to ask the student leading questions to aide them in coming to the conclusion on their own as opposed to simply telling them information. After a few questions have been answered then I am able to help them with the details of problem and a help them build a method for solving similar problems in the future.

I never give up on a child or an adult. I recently tutored a law enforcement official to help him understand and pass algebra. He didn't think anyone could help him. The schools told me my son would never learn to read or write. He is my only child out of four who reads lengthy books for pleasure. Everyone has a different style of learning. My teaching methods I alter to suit those needs. I spent three years trying to help my dyslexic son learn to read one sentence. I have patience and I love helping people. I am also a volunteer crisis counselor for the local police department. I took every math course offered by a 4 year college, student taught for one 6 week session, and took some educational courses. After home educating my 4 children for 17 years, I returned to school to complete an AA degree in liberal arts and a BA degree in sociology. I now work as a math teacher working wi

I am a highly motivated individual with a heart and love for teaching others. During high school, I took advanced placement courses in English and Calculus and through these courses I was exposed to a large variety of concepts at varying challenge levels. In AP Calculus, I was able to utilize the foundations of mathematics as well as numerous other concepts. In AP English, I learned everything from classic literature and poems to advanced grammar and writing skills. At the University of Central Florida, I continued to excel in my courses and pursued a major in the legal field when I realized my dreams of going to law school. Through my legal education at Gonzaga Law School, I learned significant skills in proper grammar and writing as a result of the numerous legal research and written legal briefs required of law students and three years of required legal research and writing course

My expectation is that all students will succeed, to have good classroom management, and to design lessons to help students reach mastery. My goal is to create self-aware, self-reliant, and self-governing for all students. A number of students are not aware of the importance of reading being a verbal intelligence.This was accomplished by increasing the motivation of students' interest by providing the necessary preparation to support students' reading comprehension. My responsibility is to equip students with strategies and skills that will open many opportunities for then in the future. As a reading and technology teacher, I prepared high school students for college level.

I have experience with all age groups and types of children. I volunteer at a school for children with learning/emotional disabilities, and I have also worked with troubled at-risk students through my time doing SES tutoring. These particular experiences, as well as others, have clearly demonstrated that all children are capable of learning, but it is imperative that certain children just have a little extra time and help. I believe tutoring is essential for this reason, because the tutor gets the chance to work a bit more closely with students, so that it is slightly easier to learn their style and capabilities. On my end, I offer this attention to my students and keep detailed info about all of their setbacks, successes, learning styles etc. This, paired with the appropriate instruction based on individuals instead of groups, is what propels me forward. In addition, I am consistent, pa

As an undergrad at UCF, I spent time tutoring fellow classmates in english and math classes. I began teaching a student leadership class and continued that while in graduate school. I spent a year in Japan teaching english through a variety of teaching meathods. My master's degree education provided a great deal of technique and methodology in which to tutor students with special needs. I believe in determining the needs of each specific child. Some students need more structure, while others need more freedom and more creative pathways towards learning. I can facilitate both, specilizing in transformative, participatory learning. To see and hear are one thing, but learning by doing is the most successful. My goal in life is to provide opporuntity, motivate, and inspire others as others have done for me.

Based on empowerment and flexibility, I begin by learning my student’s strengths, weaknesses, learning style and his or her goals. Their strengths are used as a tool of empowerment and their weaknesses establish what challenges exist. Flexible due to the differences in learning, I model my teaching style in accordance with the learning style of my student; this helps to increase the level of the student’s progress and decrease the time frame needed to begin seeing positive results. Through learning the student’s goals, I am able to help them feel empowered every time there is a positive result and have them feel accountable when there is not. I am also able to help them expand on their goals and possibly create new ones. As a graduate, with a BA in Sociology and a GPA of 3.97, my biggest accomplishments during my matriculation are they ways I served others. As President of two organi

I love teaching and working with children from all levels. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to go the extra mile to help your child find academic success and reach his desired goals. I am patient,kind, easy going, and very considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

I have excelled in Mathematics from High School, Collegiate and Post graduate levels including the Naval Nuclear Power Program. I have receive an AA from Valencia Community College and a BS from Almeda College. I am a certified Nuclear Reactor operator by the US Navy. I have taught HS Math and Science at Orlando Christian Prep for 1 1/2 Years and I was picked up as a math and physics instructor during my time in the Navy. It has been my experience that all students have the ability to learn given the time, attention and support they need. Nothing brings me greater joy then finding the right way to explain something to a student so they finally “get it” and watching their eyes light up with understanding. As a tutor it is my job to find the exact explanation your child needs to understand the material. I am patient and kind and will do all I can to ensure the success of you child,

I am currently the Math Coach at a local Middle School. I have been in the educational field for thirteen years as a math teacher. I have taught mathematics on the high school level and the middle school level. I have prepared students for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) and I have had great sucess helping students achieve passing scores on this test. I have tutored students in basic math up to algebra 1 and geometry. I am a teacher that teaches by showing examples and explaining. I encourage my students to ask questions and I don't mind going over a problem again and again until a student gets the full understanding of what is being asked. I want my students to feel comfortable enough to ask me questions, because that is how they learn.
