Dyslexia Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Copeland, FL

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

I am qualified to assist with aspects of their education and training, if this something you'd like. I had a teaching credential and at one time as a full time teachers aide, with experience in grades first to six and train staff in a variety of software programs. I am currently retired from the classroom, but have the ability to tutor basic subjects and to oversee homework assignments and special curriculum-related projects. 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 devel

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.

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 to success in tutoring each client. Working with classroom teachers or counselors is also very important as communication should be a strong link in the ability to pinpoint areas of need. Being positive and encouraging is a hallmark of good and successful tutoring. My students enjoy our sessions and the older students recommend me to their friends as well. 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 Ro

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 am a very recent graduate of Penn State where academics are a main focus. I have a B.S. in Psychology and a B.A. in Political Science and feel qualified to tutor in spelling, writing, English, reading and related subjects. I would tutor a student in other subjects on a case by case basis. I have written a lot of papers and am very good at grammar. I have been an English tutor to foreign adults and my students always do well and enjoy learning. I am a very patient person and my teaching style reflects that. I will always make sure your child understands the concepts that the teacher is trying to teach. Even when he or she shows that the material is understood I will always go over it a few more times to make sure it really sticks. Everyone has a learning style that works best for them and I will try to figure out the method that will allow your child to improve the most. I will also try

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 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.

I have worked with children since high school as a baby-sitter. Now I am involved in the education field and could not be happier. I have worked hard in my own education to learn how to be the most effective teacher I can be for your children. I have learned numerous techniques on how to teach all sorts of concepts. As a teacher, I believe if the lesson is intriguing to the student, then they will learn. My goal is to find out what works best for your child as a student and then make sure that their academic needs are met. Our tutoring sessions would be full of knowledge, but also enjoyable. An engaged student, is a student who learns. I hope to teach all my students to the best of my ability. I am a senior at Florida Gulf Coast University. I am graduating with a Bacholer's in Elementary Education. I plan to continue my education by acheiving my Master's in Special Education. I ha

Teaching has become something that I discovered a great passion for while I was educating parents in a Parenting Class for Foster Parents. Each student is different and therefore our goal as educators is to adapt and shift according to the needs of the student. I believe that all are capable of learning with the right instruction. Students must dictate the type of learning they feel most comfortable with and as the tutor, I must adjust. Children are visual, investigative, imaginary, detail oriented, readers, hands-on, and as the tutor, you must be prepared for anything. I feel I am capable of reaching and helping any child once I determine the best way to help them. My level of experience in the education world has gone onto the Masters Level and I am currently pursuing my double master’s degree in Psychology.

I also hold a MA-ZA endorsement in Early Childhood Education. I prefer teching differented education (one-on-one)as opposed to whole classroom. Learning ability is a very personal thing, and each student has their own strengths upon which we can work. Teaching reading is an intense endeavor and focus is necessary. M
