I have a Bachelors (BA) degree in Child Education with my Masters degree (MA) in Special Needs Education. For the past three years I have worked as an SEN teacher in three local schools in Liverpool UK working with children aged 5 years to 15 years with ADD / ADHD disorders I have traveled the world with my husband for the past 8 years before moving to the USA. I have vast experience of working with many types of children a lot of whom didn't have English as a first language. My training as a special needs teacher and my global experience has taught me to be very adaptive in my teaching style when working with SN kids. I have attended and passed many training courses both educationally, psychologically and medically. I keep myself up-to date with all the latest teaching methods. Whether working in a classroom or one-on-one at home I treat my pupil as a friend and confidant working with h

I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor. I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles.

I work best in a one-on-one situation. I feel that students learn best in a relaxed atmosphere where learning is fun. Students also need to see that they are making progress and feel confident in their ability, so I try to devise a system that shows them their progress and motivates them toward a stated goal. I also believe strongly in variety. All students learn differently and it is important to assess each child's individual style and design instrution around that, while keeping in line with methods that have been proven effective. As a graduate student I taught pre-service teachers educational psychology and multicultural perspectives on learning. As a graduate student in school pscyhology and practicing school psychologist I assessed students learning ability and designed interventions to improve their academic skills. My writing and editing skills are very good. I have exten

During my professional life, the better I was able to explain my patient's condition or pathology of the diagnosis, enabled a more trusting relationship. My hospital priviledges included teaching the surgical residents in all aspectcs of the hospital. I came by teaching easily starting with Anatomy & Physiology at a northern NJ business school. I enjoyed the academic structure and imparted my personal years of didactic experience. Thus I gave myself a chance to hone my skills in this second career choice. For the past five years I gained adjunct professor at all three colleges in our area. I have an experience of five years in all the subjects, A&P, Microbiology, and Biology. When I am teaching and directing my students there is nothing more gratifying to me than to be able to impart my medical skills, knowledge and wisdom of years in science and medicine. The sciences are

I've worked with children for the past 20 years and know the importance of helping children develop a positive attitude towards learning! Chances are if a student is having difficulty achieving academic goals, then they probably don't enjoy that subject and naturally resist that, which they need most. There are ways to develop a child's self esteem so they want and even enjoy learning! I am a seasoned professional Tutor for the past 5 years; all subjects all grades. I have a BS from Florida International University and MS from Nova University (all coursework completed earning all A's). Having success in learning has as much to do with attitude as it does understanding and retention. This is the ultimate goal not only for the student, but the Tutor as well!

What I like most about tutoring is the great nervous energy and excitement I feel as I work with children, this despite the fact that I have been tutoring for over 5 years. The anticipation of meeting so many new people and working with other students and starting adventure in learning gets my juices flowing. It is the excitements of the students that I come across keep my interest each time I interact with them. It never ceases to amaze me how every student develops their own personality and reactions to my teaching style. Ican tutor adults and student including days and nights and not one is the same. The content is the same but the way students handle the cooperative learning activities abd styles. Even within a smallgroups or individual setting, they function differently and develop their own personalities. I am qualified to assist with aspects of their education and training, if t

I believe in giving children a means of expression that is positive while nurturing their creativity. Many things can be learned through art. All children can feel successful through art thus building self-esteem and confidence. The passion that I have for what I do is infectious I am told. I am patient yet fun, open and dedicated and love to see children blossom. All children are creative and I love to give them the tools and knowledge to reach their full potential :-) I am passionate about children and Art. I have a BA in Art with a minor in Business and also Art Education. I have volunteered my time teaching art to children as well as painting murals locally.

As a graduate of Florida International University with a Master of Science in Education, I learned the importance of teaching by studying various subjects to enhance my teaching abilities and help me communicate in a positive and clear manner. My goal is to compassionatley help students progress and succeed in any subject. I worked for the District School Board of Collier County. As an art teacher, all subjects were intertwined into the curriculum. As a substitute Teacher,for grades K-12, from 2001 to 2005, I experienced working with students at all levels, abilities, and subject areas; including autism, learning disabilities, reading, math, science, english, the media center and history. My compassionate teaching style is relaxed; stressing self-discipline and time management skills while learning to focus on the fundamental concepts in any discipline in a concrete and consecutive m

I love teaching. I have worked in the field for over 40 years, my experience and knowledge are a benefit to every child I work with. At the core of my teaching philosophy are the concepts of Respect, Reality, and Responsibility. I am a child advocate and believe in making sure that every child receives the very best education he/she is entitled to. I have had a positive impact on the education of thousands of children through my teaching and my training of teachers. I started my career in NYC teaching at Rikers Island Prison. I then taught at a Residential Treatment Center for Abused children, I received certification as an Administrator and worked as an Asst. Supt. Eventually I moved on to Smithtown NY, where I Supervised Reading teachers and Title 1 teachers. I was promoted to Asst.Supt for Special Ed. and Special Services.

I worked in California for one year as a substitute teacher; I worked for three years in a Christian School first in a 3-4 combination, then a 5-6 combination, then a 4-5 combination. I then moved on to tutoring. My first year was with Sylvan Learning Center, then with a private tutoring group, One to One Learning Center in Santa Rosa, CA. for six years. After moving to Florida and working in The Department of Children and Families, I tried other fields of work. From 2006 on, I have worked as an independent contractor for a local tutoring business. I tutor all age groups and specialize in SAT, ACT, and FCAT preparation. I also tutor students in Reading Comprehension and Study Skills. I enjoy working with students of all ages and ability levels. I meet them and determine their learning style as well as general abilities. Helping each student to discover his or her strengths is key

My work experience over the last 25 years has been a variety of private tutoring, public schools, and a residential treatment center. I have experience working with all ages of children from kindergarten to college level. I specialize in teaching children with learning disabilites, or students who seem to struggle with learning new skills or retaining information. My teaching style is based on; first instilling in the student that they "can" learn and there is nothing they cannot achieve. I teach them through building on successes and the skills they already know, then introduce new skills and practice applying them to real life situations where this step allows the students to see the relevancy of what they are doing. I believe in providing a multitude of verbal praise for each step of learning. I believe in encouraging students to ask questions and not be afraid to say for the one

As a graduate of a private liberal arts college, I was educated in English and multi-cultural literature. As a reflection of what I was learning, I became interested in participating in the literary tradition, and began to take creative writing very seriously. I developed a passion for both poetry and literature and wish to share it with my students. I have tutored English, writing, history, ecology, and screenwriting. My passion for language and literature drives my desire to teach; I love to share everything from a basic grammar lesson to an in-depth, critical exegesis of a foreign novel. I strive to provide an individual-based educational experience for each child. I draw on each student's strengths and weaknesses to tailor each lesson. As the poet Stanley Kunitz once wrote, "live in the layers / not on the litter."

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.

Being aware of my compassion to help children succeed, earned my PA teaching certification after graduating high school. During college I received special recognition for volunteer services affiliated with tutoring at a "homework clinic" located inner city. All my life I have worked/volunteered assisting children in some capacity or another It simply is part of who I am. I believe every child can and will succeed given the proper environment. I am a stong advocate for positive, rewarding, fun and exciting atmosphere. This includes focusing on the child's natural interests.
