Florida Writes Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Coolidge, AZ

I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. At the beginning of each school year, my goals and standards are clearly set and all students know what is expected of them. Regardless of past reports that may indicate a child's personlized behavior program or low academic achievement, I believe that each and every student can succeed when given positive reinforcement and review of basic fundamental skills. Another important teaching tool I have used with the younger students is demonstrating procedures and transitions, so that time is not taken away from learning. I am creative in incorporating all learning styles into my planning. Ever since I could set up my dolls and play school with them, I have wanted to become a teacher. I graduated from Loras College, a private liberal arts school in Dubuque, Iowa, with a degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, I taught at St. M

I am a strong believer in communicating with students according to their own developmental capabilities and learning style. I strive to patiently discover these unique aspects of each of my students and find creative ways of meeting their needs. My goal is that students will not only improve their understanding of a particular subject, but that they will also improve their own study skills and problem-solving abilities. I believe it is important to help students learn to manage their time and homework, which can feel overwhelming to a student, and I often help them work out a weekly schedule with manageable amounts of work. I enjoy helping students connect what they are studying to practical aspects of their own life or the world around them, as I find this helps increase their interest and enjoyment in what they are learning.

I enjoy tutoring because I am able to pass on the knowledge that I have learned over the years. This knowledge can help academic and self confidence problems linked the certain subjects. The key to successful tutoring is to link the "trouble course" to feelings of enjoyment. The path to linking the course depends on student personality and interests. The student will experience more motivation and interest once the subject is properly associated to enjoyment. This starts the foundation for increased learning and a way to bypass the “learning block”. Other keys involve patients and proper explanation of the subject, which are also very important. Through the process of entering and attending dental school I attained a great knowledge of the sciences and chemistry subjects. I have also learned vast organizational skills, which I would like to pass on. I have also written many research pape

I am currently finishing up my degree in elementary education and will be graduating in May through Arizona State University. I have been student teaching this past semester in a fourth grade classroom, but have experienced various grade levels through internships and nannying. I am certified in elementary education through the state of Arizona, and have experience in all subject areas. My favorite subject to teach is language arts, paticulary writing. I enjoy making it creative, fun, and challenging for the student(s)! I enjoy working with students, and helping them reach their full potential. In order to do this effectively, I believe in creating a comfortable, honest, and warm environment for my students. I am a hard worker, and I feel that is passed on to the children I am teaching and tutoring. I know that all children can achieve anything if they just put their mind to it. Before a

Any tutors goal is to guide a child to a learning experience within that childs comfort zone. An educator, with a calm and patient demeanor can lead a child to their goal.

I absolutely love teaching children of all ages. Every student is capable of success and I do not take the responsibility of reaching a child's absolute maximum lightly. As a teacher, I get to know each and every child by assessing their needs and discovering what learning/teaching style works best for them. Every child in my class walks out the door each and every day knowing they learned something and are able to aquire knowledge and skill to anything they put their mind to. I am devoted and passionate about teaching. My students consider me patient, fair, and caring. I expect great things because I know every child can do great things. I am a highly qualified/certified fourth-fifth grade teacher. I have a Masters in Elementary Education in grades K-8. I have six years of successful experience teaching students in these grades. During the 2009-2010 school year, my students' t
