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

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Elementary Education with a minor in math. I have a Master's of Science degree in Elementary Education K-6 with a math concentration. These degrees and the nine credit hours in Gifted Education have enabled me to have an extensive understanding of mathematics, logic and critical & creative thinking. I have taught second, fifth, and sixth grade self-contained classes, sixth and seventh grade math, and I was the coordinator/teacher of the Gifted & Talented program for our district which included grades K-8. I have tutored students in mathematics and language arts. For me, teaching is not just a career, it is a passion. I enjoy the challenges it has brought me through the variety of grade levels and concentrations that I have taught. I have been lucky to have worked with diverse populations at all grade levels K-8. I encourage students to be creative

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!

I have earned a degree in Elementary Education and am certified to teach grades k-6. I am a general education teacher so I am well experienced in teaching all subject areas. I currently teach second grade but have experience in other elementary grade levels. I have attended many inservices that have introduced various instructional strategies to help children at all levels and abilities. I am an outgoing individual who is eager to help any child reach thier own potential. I am willing to try new approaches to help a child succeed. I often design my own content driven hands on manipulatives to help children build skills that are lacking. I like to use games to help a child explore ideas that are new or difficult. In my current teaching position I work with children at many levels and have the ability to differentiate instruction to fit those different needs.

I was a single parent to a son with cerebral palsy and "tutored" him through elementary, middle and high school as well as a community college. With his disability, my son required hands on help and patience and encouragement which I think I supplied with success. I am now married to a long time elementary school teacher and we frequently discuss experiences in teaching. She knew my son very well and we talked about his needs in education. I enjoyed working one on one with him, not only as my child but in seeing the comprehension and enthusiasm that he developed in our working together. The greatest thrill a teacher can have is knowing that a child enriched his or her own life through knowledge and learning.

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 love learning and teaching. I believe everyone is capable of learning but in different ways. Individuals all have different learning styles. I believe all children are capable of learning and I will provide a trusting, secure environment where I encourage critical thinking. I believe in learning through discovery and various learning activities that encourages the student to want to learn more. I hope to make my students love to learn as much as I do.

I have a passion for teaching, and that is the way I teach! I am a high-energy instructor who encourages children to not only reach their goals, but to also readily accept the next challenge as well. I do not teach "at" my students...instead, I teach with them, keeping them engaged and interested in the material...and wanting to learn more! I take a sincere interest in each and every one of my students, and feel that teaching extends far beyond the academics...I essentially make a positive difference in a child's life as their instructor, and knowing that is consistently my greatest reward. .

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
