"Half of knowledge is knowing where to find it."

After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry.
Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach.

My comments on tutoring Latin : For a six month period I worked in tandem with a highly proficient Latin instructor who had 14 students achieve Magna Cum Laude in Latin one year. As my language choice in high school, my studies in Latin have assisted in my achieving superior skills in English usage and expression and facilitated my learning French and Spanish. On my first visit to Italy, I found that I was able to comprehend a good part of Italian conversation.

For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly reputed language school in Vienna, Austria for a period of 2 years and have offered ESOL instruction as a volunteer teacher at the Tarpon Springs campus of St. Petersburg College and with the Hernando County branches of H.E.A.R.T. and R.S.V.P. I have given prvate English language lessons to individuals from Nepal, Brazil and Puerto Rico. From December 2011 through April 2012 I was employed by "A Quantum Leap" as aa tutor under the SES program. While in the military, I volunteered to instruct Korean Air Force officers in correct ... read more

My teaching style is based on the premise that students want to learn and succeed. At times they are blocked in that endeavor by the level of difficulty, the complexities of a lesson or personal obstacles. It's my job as a tutor to find out what that hindrance is and help the student overcome it. I vary my teaching style based on the needs of the student.
I'm a journalist by trade. My love of writing began at an early age. A bachelor's degree in Theater immersed me in the works of Wiliam Shakespeare and from there I became fascinated with history and living history at that. I then obtained a Master's degree in Journalism to expand my skill set in both the English and Spanish languages. I have extensive experience working with bilingual students of all ages in the subjects of English-grammar,composition, literature. Spanish-grammar, conversational. History- World, Latin, American.

With a great passion for knowledge my personal quest was to achieve academic success. I earned my BA degree 2 minors in 3 1/2 years, and a 3 years masters program in 2 years,summa cum laude, with a flawless 4.0 grade point average. Over the years, I realized that learning matriculates in a variety of settings through a myriad of methods. As a corporate traniner, a professional mentor, children's ministry leader, and a parent educator I experienced the joy of sharing achievement with persons of all ages and abilities. In addition to your statistically normal learner, I have instructed children and adults with learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, and chronic mental illness.
While we obtain knowledge in different methods, the role of a successful educator is to ascertain that method and then nourish it. People want to demonstrate success and independence. Learning ... read more

I am a creative educator and development professional with over 15 years teaching, curriculum development and program implementation experience spanning several countries and a diversified portfolio of projects in the arts, health and social services, education, government, non-profit and for profit sectors. Many people who have taught at one time say they are former educators when listing their past employment as teachers. I am however, a lifelong educator. I have over a decade of teaching/training experience, particularly at the adult school, vocational setting or university level and more than five years of test preparation and materials development experience.
I believe that each child's talents and abilities need to be nurtured through creative and constructive curriculum and delivery, including acknowledging the importance of integrating playtime with instruction. I have work ... read more

I began my teaching career teaching free SAT preparation courses for students at schools in low socio-economic areas. This exhilarating and fulfilling experience led me to return to school to obtain my teaching certificate. I have taught both elementary and middle school students in a classroom setting, and have successfully tutored high school students in Algebra, Algebra II, Trigonometry, and Precalculus. I enjoy working with students of all ages and am passionate about providing excellent, individualized education.
I believe education should be individualized for each student. Instruction should be flexible and creative in order to adapt to a student’s learning style, speed, and personality. Additionally, students need to learn not just enough facts to pass a test, but they need to learn think critically and to problem solve. This means teaching not just the “what” and the “ho ... read more

I always consider for motto, "If my students can't achieve my expectations, it's my teaching approach to blame not them!" Because I believe teaching is an invitation for students to discover the vast knowledge and inspiration of a teacher. Therefore, it's up to that instructor to sell convincingly his or her product to the pupils with great pleasure and patience. I am firmly convince that all children can achieve the maximum of a classrom expectations if all, the methods, environment, and management, and dynamism are present. Finally great teachers can always be defined not by the amount of their experiences but by the difference they made in their student' lives.
As a foreign language graduate from USF I have achieved excellent credentialities from my former professor to obtain a post of assistantship at the same institution to teach undergraduate French level 1&2 for a period of ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have recently graduated from the University of South Florida where I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have taught and helped forty students in activities for General Chemistry as a Peer Leader employed by the university. I have also learned other sciences in my degree such as Physics, Biology, Microbiology, and Organic Chemistry. My strongest area was in the laboratories involving the laboratory reports, data collection, and application of what was learned in the lectures.
The best way I learned to study was to see the information visually in a repetitive manner and practice many problems. However, I know that children are different in the ways they study; some may need an auditory or hands on approach and not just visual. I believe all students can learn and apply the information well if given the time and appropriate style for them. Thus, I use patience and encourageme ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When I discovered how much I enjoy teaching I prepared myself to launch a second career. I earned a second degree and have almost completed my M.A. in History at USF. along the way, I have taught Latin and History to a wide variety of students from the sixth grade to college students. Throughout high school and college I have studied languages such as Spanish, French, Latin, and Classical Greek. Along with teaching a foreign language I have taught English since the study of any foreign language involves teaching the native language. From my experience writing almost two dozen research papers in my graduate studies at USF, I have practiced academic writing and can instruct students in the skills of research and writing as well as reading comprehension.
I feel that I am an empathetic teacher yet I hold my students to high standards of accomplishment. I try to bring a variety of mater ... read more

I have always believe like the philosopher said that "all men by nature desire to know." It was true back then, thousands of years ago, and it's still true now. But not all people learn the same way. I've extensive experience teaching kids that, for one reason or another, did not have good grades in school. I believe anyone can excel if giving enough time and effort, and that each person should be judge by their character as much as by their knowledge. I always work diligently to transform students into active learners that can not only teach themselves but also others.
I am looking to bring my well-honed teaching, oral, and interpersonal communication skills along with my dedication to impart knowledge.

My teaching style is entirely dependent upon my learner. Reflective practice guides my analysis of an individual's abilities, interests and potential which in turn guides my own instructional practice. While some learner's do require discipline and a strict agenda, I frequently relinquish powers to the learner in an effort to fully engage them in their own learning (while maintaining teacher authority of course). Through instructional facilitation, constructive practice and reflective play I look to encourage a well-rounded experience to advocate the love of learning to my student.
My experience in education is at once formal & casual, specific & broad. From working in the school setting with reading intensive students to conducting experiments and demonstrations on the floor of the MOSI science museum, I have gained a world of knowledge on teaching methodology and student assessme ... read more

At a Wall Street bank, I trained new hires in the proper transmission of Telex and SWIFT messages. I later moved to SR&D as a Programmer Analyst. I worked in the creation and maintenance of programs needed by the bank. For 12 years, I recruited and trained independent salespeople, while conducting my own demonstrations. My income averaged upwards of $50k annually. From 1998 to 2008, I worked in an overnight freight setting as a supervisor where I was responsible for orientation and training of new hires. I reported extensively via email, spreadsheets, and on the ASR 400 system. Currently, I am in the Educator Preparation Institute where I am in the last months of qualification as a Florida "out-of-field" teacher.
I believe that students will be more inclined to pay attention and remember if they are having fun. I try to put some fun in everything I teach. I have designed ... read more

Most of my adult life has been spent in the arena of teaching and mentoring. My undergraduate degree, a B.S. in Biology, was largely a platform for the many other courses taken in order to teach mathematics and sciences more effectively. Even after I had moved professionally from teaching to military chaplaincy, much of my focus has been on mentoring others. My range of personal experience is wide, having taught or tutored the range from basic mathematics to differential equations, earth science to physics, with Latin and Greek tossed in for good measure.
I have a teaching style which refer to as "narrative." All memorable education takes place in the context of its history and personal usefulness. Therefore, I show the student how a topic has affected people in the past and pull it into personal relevance. Discussion is crucial, not only for allowing the student to ask questions, ... read more
