More About This Tutor...

I have taught both children and adults private piano lessons. I taught history and other subjects for 2 1/2 years as a daily and long-term substitute teacher in secondary schools. For one year I directed a public library story-time program for preschool children. I worked two years as a middle school Library Media instructor. I wrote curriculum and taught computer literacy for four years in a prison GED program. My undergraduate and graduate degrees conferred honors. I enjoy writing, and I completed a short story correspondence course with Writer's Digest. A science fiction zine published one circa 1997.
All learning starts with a question, both by teacher and student alike. My role is both as teacher (coach and guide) and student (questioner). I should employ a variety of questioning techniques to better understand strengths and weaknesses, then prescribe remedies tailored f ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children of all ages. I really like elementary age children. I have a hands-on approach to education. I want kids to get their hands into activities so that they may retain things longer. Now I do realize that not every student is hands-on. That is the responsibility of a teacher or tutor to find out what works for each student and set the envioronment for each learning experience.
I taught public school for 4 years before getting a masters degree in Religious Education with a Concentration in Childhood Education. I wanted to complement my undergraduate Elementary Education degree. Therefore, I choose the childhood education concentration at seminary. Then I was a Assoicate Pastor for Children for over 13 years where I supervised paid workers and planned activities for a children's ministry at a local church. I had to maintain a budget for this ministry ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The first year of teaching... Nothing could have taught me more about teaching or myself than this past year. My teaching style was solidified; my confidence in classroom management was grounded; and my teacher judgment was clarified. I am a gentle teacher, but not timid. I establish rapport by loving and respecting my students, first and foremost. It is important that they trust me before they can learn from me. I like to teach with the same enthusiasm for every concept and idea I present, as if each were the neatest thing I've ever heard. My goal is to equip and excite the students, and then draw them in, so they can take charge of the exploration. I encourage my students to think more critically, to imagine more vividly, to communicate more intentionally, and overall, to push themselves to create a better product than they thought was their best.
I have been tutoring for as long ... read more

While living overseas in both Ukraine and Mexico I taught ESL through a non-profit organization for 4 1/2 years. In addition to teaching beginning, intermediate, and advanced classes to students of all ages, I did extensive one on one tutoring with students, and eventually conducted all new teacher training. In Ukraine I volunteered at an orphanage where I taught Bible lessons to children who suffered with mental illnesses, learning disabilities, and other consequences of severe abuse. Upon my return to Florida, I joined my church staff as a minister to middle school students, and taught regularly for 1 ½ years. Additionally I have tutored students in ESL, Spanish, Russian, and GED preparation. As a student in FSU’s rigorous Russian Program I have continued to utilize and study learning techniques, literature, and grammar. Finally, other coursework has exposed me to a variety of di ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My students begin with an understanding that it is important to express themselves in an easily comprehensible manner. I help them find their own voices by first finding out where they are and what they wish to accomplish. I then guide them to greater fluency and sophistication through self-criticism, as well as through the discovery and examination of the work of others. And I have also helped students understand that style is as much influenced by cultural context as by the desire for personal expression.
I graduated from Duke University with a Ph.D. in music in 1997. Since then, I have taught and advised students at a number of colleges and universities in North Carolina and Michigan. I have created or helped to create curricula (both music and English composition) and have implemented it in the classroom. I have also assisted students in charting out their courses of study, ha ... read more

As graduating with a degree in the Psychology field I have come to understand children better. I understand that all children can learn, but there are different techniques in teaching that a teacher may have to use from child to child. Being a tutor you get to understand each child and work with them one on one and understand that specific child's learning ability. I have taught children for nine years and I am aware that children learn through a positive energetic person that makes learning fun. I have learned a lot going to a academically challenging college. I have learned grammatical skills, math skills, communication skills, etc. During the last nine years I have tutored children in all of those areas.
I enjoy working with children. I am a very patient person and I understand that children learn in different ways through various techniques. I feel that as a tutor I have to ... read more

As an educator my teaching style is very laid back and easy going. I like my students to use there own knowledge to search for a solution while I give them a little bit of guidance. My non-threatening approach tends to win over students and helps them feel relax and not fear to ask questions. My goal is to improve all students in the areas of math and help them feel more comfortable when they encounter it on there own.
While attending Florida A&M University I always had a passion for Mathematics, therefore my first year I took Honors Calculus I and received a grade of a 'B'. From that point I completed my Bachelor degree in Computer Information Systems and took my passion in math and began to work on my MEd in Secondary education. During that time I had the opportunity to substitute students in 6-12 grade in two different counties. I also completed my student teaching experience at ... read more

To be able to teach takes time and patience as well as numerous other skills, I feel that I have the qualities to teach children ranging of all ages as well as older individuals. In my time working in a lab setting my goal was to teach an unknown skill to individuals. I feel that I was able to understand that each person learns at a different pace and with different strategies and this is important when trying to teach. I feel that with my patience, understanding, and knowledge of learning situations I can be that one person that helps that one child breakthrough and realize how a little more hard work can make all the difference.
In the process of achieving a bachelors of Science degree in Psychology I spent time working in a lab as well as being a lead counselor in a private after school program. In the school, my duties ranged from helping with homework to planning structured ac ... read more

I really enjoy teaching and working with students and continue to develop new ways to make learning fun and engaging. Focusing on each student independently, I differentiate instruction based on each individual's learning style. I value learning in a way that displays passion and a serious interest in every subject I teach. I believe in a fun and relaxed approach to learning, but maintain a focus and discipline I feel is required to achieve academic success.
I have been working with youth for over ten years. As a private music instructor and substitute teacher I have had the opportunity to work with students K-12 with a wide array of abilities. During the school year of 2009-2010 I was a para-professional in a Kindergarten PDD class (pervasive development disorder/autism) where I helped administer IEP directed lessons for 8 children on the spectrum. I have developed lesson pl ... read more

I come from a public school background with an emphasis in higher learning and was twice selected as an AP Scholar with Honors for my work in the AP program. I am currently in the process of earning a Bachelors of Science in English Education with an emphasis in theatre.

I do not have much experience in teaching and tutoring, but I would love to earn the experience. I am quite versed in classical literature and archaeological advancements. I have also learned to write research papers and essays well, so I have great grammatical skills. I know grammar well and can teach it with ease.
I think I could be a considerate teacher. I listen well to what others have to say and ask, and I get my point across in a concise manner. I can work with small children and teenagers.

Learning has always been my goal. The hope of understanding is the light which illuminates this dark abyss of bureaucracy, strange smells and seeming disorder. I have read ceaselessly, watched ravenously, pondered to no end; a mind which never sleeps but continues seeking. I was Valedictorian of my middle school and graduated from FSU magna cum laude, but these are hot air to me; decorations. A's in school are just a by-product. I seek the real thing, which may not be found in this lifetime, in these bodies, with these minds, but I seek it anyway.
Throughout my existence I have found myself in the role of teacher. Whether it be academic or physical, I have been blessed with keen abilities, as well as an ease in communicating ideas. This, I believe, stems from a need to comprehend not just the action of something, but the reason for that action as well. By this, often I am able to s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always found myself adept at teaching. I have a great deal of patience and a genuine fondness for instruction. As a journalism major from UF, I gained extensive writing, research and grammatical skills. I am a proficient typist and have an intimate knowledge of computers and various programs. I am grounded in functional math: an essential skill in reporting on the economy and science. I went up to pre-calculus in high school and took both Algebra and Logic in college. Current events and history were both fundamental in my schooling. My recent tutoring history is not formal, but I have helped many students and peers edit papers, understand their math homework and prepare for tests.
The teachers who continue to influence me and affect my day-to-day life are those who had a genuine passion for teaching and a contagious love for their subject. They were the best ... read more
