Elementary Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

I have been a classroom teacher for over 20 years. I have taught all subjects in elementary school, English, history, and mathematics in middle school, and English composition and literature in high school. Additionally, I have taught mass communication and creative writing in high school. I have taught remedial English, freshman composition, and technical writing on a collegiate level. A person who has strong negative feelings about learning is automatically hindered in any learning environment. I first gain the trust of my students, and then start to build an appreciation for learning in their minds. Once that process has begun, I inject a sense of humor, a sense of patience, and a great deal of love into my teaching.

After earning a degree in Elementary Education and Specific Learning Disabilities at Florida Southern College, I continued my education and received my Masters at the University of South Florida as well as my Educational Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership through Nova Southeastern. Since then I have been a teacher and guidance counselor at all levels including elementary, middle, and high schools for the past 17 years. I am currently a 5th grade reading, language arts, and math teacher at Brentwood Elementary in Sarasota where I have worked for the past 5 years. I utilize hands-on learning throughout my classes intermixed with other individual techniques designed to suit each child's own learning style. I believe that teachers are in schools to serve the kids and I routinely pursue what is in the best interest of each student I work with. Communication with the adults in my

I feel a great deal of satisfaction in assisting children to fulfill their educational potentials. I believe that a solid foundation in arithmetical and writing/reading basics is essential for further educational success. I therefore prefer to tutor elementary school children. I believe that a prime goal of a tutor is to prepare material that the students can enjoy while they are learning and developing study skills. This will foster a desire to learn and a love for learning. I currently tutor privately 2 days a week for a 2nd Grader diagnosed with ADHD in reading comprehension, writing, and math. As Tutor at Hodge Road Elementary School, Knightdale NC I conducted Pre-and-Post-Tutorial Assessment Testing; prepared individualized lesson plans for K-5th Grade students in Language Arts and Mathematics; guided students in developing educational skills; assisted students in understanding l

My teaching philosophy is based on individualized learning and high expectations. I also rely a great deal on the opinions of parents and teachers to support the student to reach their full potential. The goal is for students to become independent workers who can critically analyze their assignments and goals and take the lead on excelling. I have a PhD in Education and graduated school with a 3.8 GPA. I have six years experience in private tutoring for students in elementary, middle and high school. I also have six years experience teaching GED classes in non-profit organizations (e.g. The Salvation Army in South Phoenix, Arizona). Students and parents feel that I am knowledgeable of the subject matter, pay close attention to detail and provide individualized learning experiences.

Beyond simply "tutoring", my work with students is aimed at long-term cognitive development. Instead of teaching concepts, I work with students to train their thinking patterns, the literal way they "see" words/numbers and tasks. I begin where the student is at--his or her level of skills--and make sure there is success at first to help initiate motivation to learn and launch forward. From my psychology (M.Ed.) advanced degree, I use skills to discover the student's best path of learning (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.)and involve his/her specific interests. By forming a tailored curriculum program based on learning preference and interests my students have been successful toward reaching their goals. It has been my pleasure to watch these amazing changes take place. My experience with approx. 25 different learning challenges (diagnoses) has allowed me to become sensitive to individua

I have tutored online and in person for over 10 years. I have edited over one-thousand essays, and have tutored grammar, poetry, and all aspects of writing and rhetoric. I taught tenth-grade English in a High School during the 2004-2006 school years. Additionally, I taught in the private sector at the middle-school level, grades 6-8. This past year I made the choice to take time off from teaching in order to focus on obtaining my MAT in secondary English, which I will complete in May of this year. I am very anxious to begin teaching again. The years that I taught were extremely rewarding and fulfilling. My students exhibited diversities in learning styles, backgrounds, cultures, and interests. I have taught English to students at many levels, including, standard, honors and advanced placement. . It has been and will always be my utmost goal to tailor my teaching methods to best meet the

BS/MA Education Helping learners find solutions to their problems is my passion. My greatest strength is compassion. I believe that anyone can achieve. I enjoy helping others discover their innate joy of learning. I thrive on seeing the "light" in a learner's eyes. It drives me with a determination to find the best way to help each individual become a lifelong learner. I was a teaching assistant throughout high school. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and was inducted into Kappa Delta Pi. I was selected to teach intensive intervention and pursued my Master’s degree with a concentration in remedial reading.

I had a private practice in Santa Fe, NM for 30 years. I have specialized in teaching dyslexics, and I do have Special Education K-12 certification. My undergraduate degree major was in English, so I am well-equipped to teach Language Arts for a student of any age. I have pursued in a variety of reading instruction methods over the years and believe a multi-sensory approach along with phonetics is usually the best approach for most students. I taught a GED class for 5 years at a youth detention center. All who took the class passed! Collaboration with teachers, parents, students, and others involved with a student's academic needs is strongly encouraged. Information of this nature creates a supportive environment for a school-age student. I am a keen observer and "detective" in assessing at what level a student needs help. I would also like a well-rounded view of your child's academic n

My teaching style is hands-on with some lecture. I believe finding out what the interest of the student is matters and can be used to incorporate into a lesson plan. I feel students also gain more knowledge if the skills being taught are done through a thematic unit. I believe building independency is a necessary tool so that the learner can generlize and use the skills once I am gone. Organizers are another tool I feel helps the student learn and be able to use across subject areas. I have experience in teaching at all levels of the ages from running my own daycare center to teaching high school students the core curriculum. My major is in science as I started out as a Medical Technologist and then went back to school for Early Childhood/Elementary degree. I then got my endorsement for special education classes.
