More About This Tutor...

I consider myself easy going and fun. In my experience as a teacher, I find that the most effective results come through what might be called "gentle guidance" rather than a more dictatorial style of teaching. I believe that children love to learn new things and are curious by nature, making the job of teaching an easy one, for all that needs to be done is to arouse the interest that already exists, and show them the opportunities available to them. As a former Corporate Pilot, I understand the need for structure and attention to detail, and believe that these elements can be incorporated into lessons in dynamic and exciting ways, providing the best possible learning experience.
I began my teaching career as a writing/reading tutor while attending Ramapo College of New Jersey. During this time I was working in the English Lab, and was responsible for helping students improve their ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned both a MA and a BS in Urban and Regional Studies from Minnesota State University. I spent 15 years working in local government management. Throughout my career, I have taken opportunities to hire and mentor graduate student interns. Several of these interns have gone on to successful careers in local government management and planning. Recently, I was accepted into the Educator Preparation Institute at St Johns River Community College. This semester, I am taking four classes, including Classroom Management, Instructional Strategies, Teaching and Learning Process, and Technology. I have received a passing score on the 6-12 Social Studies exam. Upon completion of the EPI program, I plan to teach high school social studies.
I believe that an instructor’s primary role is to create an environment that encourages a real desire to learn by presenting the subject matter in ... read more

I do believe that all children have the ability to learn the subjects however not all children are in the right mind to do so. My goal is to show in real world, understandable terms the subjects we will work on. I believe that if a child is explained the rules in terms and words he/she understands, then he/she will grasp the material and carry it with them into the future rather than trying to cram for an exam with no retention.
I graduated from UNF in 1993 with a Bachelor's of Business Administration in the field of Management. The degree required classes in Accounting, Finance, Algebra and Economics. Mathematics has risen to be one of my preferred subjects, tutoring this subject for a year to date.

I began teaching in 1998. My previous job was taken away by forces of nature. I had taken advantage of the Military Troops to Teachers Program with no clear pathway to practice. Until I found myself with a possibility of unemployment. I I applied at a correctional facility and I was hired over the next week. Hence my introduction to the classroom and the world of academia. Over the next five years I was fortunate enough to teach both classroom and computer lab, loving the challenges and accomplishments more and more everyday. My students were adult learners whom appreciated accomplishing life goals. I continued educating over the next seven years with results that were uplifting and inspirational. Teaching requires a heart.
My teaching style is a type of facilitator approach. I realize the with every classroom there is middle level of learners the same as lower and higher ac ... read more

I have 19 years experience as a high school teacher. In that time, I have taught several different English classes and reading. I have been a department chairperson, a reading coach, and have taught a variety of graduate level education courses to teachers as well. I was honored as Wentzville High School teacher of the year and was asked by students to be the keynote speaker at graduation and an NHS induction ceremony. I have provided homebound services and private tutoring services to several students. My diverse background and proven education experience make me an excellent candidate for a tutoring position.
I believe that all students can learn. It's just a matter of finding the instructional style that matches their learning style. I am a firm believer in the theory of multiple intelligences, developed by Dr. Howard Gardner and adapted to the education field by Thomas Arm ... read more

I obtained my BA in Mathematics in 2005 from UNF. I have taught High-School Mathematics for the Duval County Public School System and I have been tutoring mathematics for the last eight consecutive years. I am very current in most subjects having tutored them for a while. I consistently tutor Elementary Statistics, Geometry, Algebra I and II, College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Business Calculus, Calculus I and II, Trigonometry, and Discrete Mathematics. Most students I've tutored are University level but I often tutor high school and middle school students as well. I also tutor Spanish at the university and high school level. I am also capable of teaching science including physics and chemistry.
I like to break things down to the component level in order to show the inner workings and the why of things for a more complete understanding. However, not all students are interested nor n ... read more

I am a believer in the old adage,” You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” I believe that it‘s the instructor’s job to try to motivate the student to learn the subject. The instructor need to teach the student that the information is important and worth the student’s time. If the student is not motivated to learn then the session will not be as productive.
I have always had a gift with teaching. I have conducted many training programs with the companies I have worked. I have taught college level management courses with Keiser University in Daytona. I am very gifted in Math and have tutored several students to assist them in understanding the importance of math in the real world.

When a student needs tutoring, there is a breakdown in the understanding of the subject. As a teacher, I find out the individual student’s thinking process and make it click for that particular subject. Quite often it is just a small portion of the process that is missing or the process does not make sense to the student. Breaking down the process step by step and using examples makes it easier for the student to get to the correct end results and understand how he or she got there. Understanding is the key.
My degree is in Financial Accounting. My teaching experience includes substitute teaching for high school level students in Computer Accounting, Business Math, Business English and Business Law. I taught all business classes in a position where the permanent teacher took a leave of absence for six months. I also volunteered at a senior center and taught computer classes. ... read more

After graduation in 2008, I worked for the past year and a half in St. Johns County Schools as a 4th grade intervention teacher and in 5th grade ESE. As an intervention teacher, I worked with the lowest 20% of the 4th grade to help bring classroom grades and test scores up. This meant teaching the general curriculum and also strategies and test taking skills. I headed up the 4th grade tutoring program where I taught my own curriculum to help students prepare for the FCAT. While at Flagler, I tutored privately in all subject areas. I have taken several mathematics courses and have been trained specifically on how to teach math to students. In order to pass my Math Certification, I had to prove my math skills through a 9th grade curriculum.
I am a huge advocate of differentiated instruction, which allows all children to be taught and assessed on the same overall material, but at diff ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in making learning fun. Young students need to be constantly engaged during the leaning process. All children have the capacity for success and as a teacher its my job to give them the scaffolding they need to achieve it. If a student starts with the basics they can build on that to achieve great things. All children have different learning styles. If a teacher can find a style that works for their student they can not only help them with the task at hand, they can also give them tools to continue successfully on their own. I believe in teaching children how to teach themselves.

A Little Bit About Me...

Hands on teaching and kinesthetic learning are key to success in my mind. I love to involve the student's entire body in the learning process. From their senses to their movements to memory device techniques in the form of song or poem, using alternative methods of teaching seems more effective in the learning process.
As a Cum Laude graduate from the University of Florida, I continue to hold a high level of discipline in every aspect of life. Whether it be at work, at home, or at school, I feel it is imperative to do your best no matter what the situation. Upon graduation at the age of twenty, I began teaching undergraduate courses for UF. This was an honor, but it was not challenging enough. It was not until I helped students with severe mental and physical disabilities that I felt fulfilled in my profession. Being able to teach student who are eager to learn, but have obs ... read more
