I believe students have different learning styles, and I can adapt lessons based on their individual style and needs. I can challenge students without overwhelming them and causing balking or "burnout". I quickly establish a rapport by making the student feel at ease. By identifying the student's strengths and weaknesses I can help them without wasting time on skills they already have. I have over a decade of experience working with both regular education students and those with exceptionalities. I have worked with elementary and middle school level students in all subject areas. My strengths are in reading and math. I am ESOL endorsed and can help children struggling with English experience success.

For five years I taught swimming lessons. While swimming isnotan academic subject, this experience taught me the essentials of teaching. I worked with a large range of ages, from six months to sixty years. While in college I was a tutor/editor in the writing center all three years. Upon graduation I took two part time jobs tutoring English at elementary and secondary levels, at Knowledge Points of Tampa Bay and Lindamood- Bell learning processes of South Tampa. I rely heavily on Socratic questioning, to strengthen the students own thinking; my goal is for him/her to not need me. I use symbol and concept imagery language to ensure the student is not simply repeating, but seeing and understanding. Learning, especially at the lower levels, need not be boring, and I enjoy teaching through games, and in counter culture environments such as reading on bean bags or under a tree. I am flexible a

Very hands on type of person. I am the type of person that needs visual reminders to get my work done. I know that everyone learns in different capacities so I try to incorporate that into my teaching style. I work on identifying the students learning style and then we go from there. I am currently working at Challenger 7 Elementary School as the only Guidance Counselor. I have created a study group club with students that need study skills, organizational skills or assistance getting their work done! I have been employed as a substitute teacher and mental health counselor in the past. I enjoy working with students because a lot of their stress is due to frustration of not knowing a concept. If you work with the students on their frustration you begin to see improvement in their grades!

I like to encourage and support my students. Many students don’t want to learn or do not feel they can succeed. When a student is positive and feels that sense of pride; he will open himself up more to the idea of learning. Secondly, I will always do readings and visuals to stimulate both areas of the brain to ensure it is absorbed. I also believe in repetition of information once a student comprehends what has been learned. Lastly, I like to be consistent. I have always kept the learning styles very similar. I also explain to the student what exactly is expected of him and how I will do things so he will be fully aware. This way we are on the same page as to what the teaching session will entail. I have always had a passion for education, whether it is teaching youth or adults. I have gained about 3 additional years of teaching and now am working in a higher education setting. I hold a

As a teacher of children with learning disabilities, I have extensive experience working with children on varying levels. In addition to being a certifie3d teacher, I have had prior experience as the education director at Sylvan Learning Center. I regularly diagnose students' individual learning needs and then plan for appropriate support. I have experience with children who are dyslexic and use an Orton-Gillingham based program to meet their needs. I am an excellent math teacher with past training in individualized learning methods. I have taught in the Brevard School system for the past 8 years. I am a patient teacher who can make learning fun for children while meeting their individual needs. Since no two children are alike, each child requires different stategies in order to meet their ongoing educational needs. I believe in using manipulatives when necessary so that a child can rece

While I was in college I began working as a teachers assistant at a Montessori School, I soon started privately tutoring students after school at the same location. I am a very hard working, organized, and outgoing person. I tutored students in Math, English, History, Behavioral Sciences and also taught private dance lessons. I was raised in the Montessori teaching environment, so I am very involved with hands-on teaching methods, and relating subjects to real life experiences. I enjoy watching children grow and progress into self-motivated, independent individuals, who are self-confident in many areas. I believe all children no matter what age have the potential to do amazingly well in school and with their education depending on how much individual attention is placed on them, including constant positive reinforcement.

I am passionate about helping students to achieve academic success. I love the challenge of discovering the strategies that best match a student's individual strengths and learning style. I provide a positive learning environment that fosters the student openness and trust necessary for growth and learning to occur. My students have described me as “respectful,” “helpful,” and “caring,” and they recently responded with a 98% teacher effectiveness rating on an anonymous public middle school classroom climate survey. I have seen in my career that all students can achieve their academic goals when given appropriate, positive, learning experiences. I am thrilled to be entrusted with the awesome responsibility and privilege of teaching. As a professional educator and life-long student, learning has been my constant priority. I have an M.S. Education, an M.A. Counselor Education, and a B.A. P

Before earning my BA in Communication Sciences and Disorders I began my college career as an Education major. I completed volunteer courses in “Brevard Reads” “Rolling Readers” and completed over 150 volunteer hours in Brevard schools while in the major. In small groups we went over elementary math skills, science, social studies, and reading. During my 2009 semester I volunteered as a teaching assistant in a Montessori school for children with Dyslexia and various reading difficulties. There, we used the very successful “LiPS” program to work on reading, vocabulary, spelling, and phonemic awareness in hands on ways that targeted different learning styles. Since I myself did not learn the same way as other kids when I was a child, I find that it is easy for me to relate to my students. The best thing a teacher or tutor can do is listen and be patient. Every child can learn, it’s ju

I taught one full year after getting my B.A.-teaching english to foreign students. Then left the profession to begin raising a family. Returned 7 years later and worked as a teacher"s aide in elementary school, then specialized for one year in a special ed classroom. Then began substituting in Spanish and French on a daily and long-term contracted basis in the Syosset, and Northport, L.I. school districts. I decided to get my masters, which would again certify me to teach on a permanent basis in those local districts. Although I was offered two jobs after completing my masters, my husband and I decided to relocate to Florida. From 1987-1998, I tutored for the Brevard Learning Clinic in Melbourne and Rockledge. I have a more traditional style of teaching-see, say hear and write. This is how I achieved success with both my foreign language students, and my learning disabled students
