I believe in a teamwork approach, where the student and tutor decide together what is the best way to learn a subject. The student gives input on what obstacles stand in the way of learning, and the tutor helps remove them. I work on the concept of "Self-Management", which embraces accountability and responsibility by the student in the learning process. My mission is to help struggling students by tutoring them in the areas where they have "fallen through the cracks" in their educational systems. I am the "Missing Link" in helping them "fill in the gaps" in their educations. I have ten years of experience teaching Reading, Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension, Spelling, English Grammar, Writing, Basic Math, Study Skills, Test Skills, Life Skills and more. I taught at Delaware State University and Delaware Technical Community College, instructing students in ESL, SAT and GED prep. I

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 students' lives is very important to me and I keep a constant chain of updates and communication going between myself and the parents at all times. With these tools and strategies I encourage my students to get more out of themselves than they ever thought possible. It is truly a joy to watch children learning. After earning a degree in Elementary Education and Specific Learning Disabilities at Florida Southern College, I continued my education and received my Masters Degree in Guidance Counseling, at the University of South Florida as well as my Educational Specialist Deg

My students enjoy coming to lessons with Ms. Sharon. I make them feel comfortable, and always encourage them to ask me questions. I always ask them if their was something that they had in the classroom that they didn't understand, and they are not inhibited to tell me so. They know I will not judge them on that, I am just inquiring to help them out so that when they go back into the classroom they will understand what is going on. I want to make their classroom experience as pleasant as possbile. So with lots of repetition and encouragement they will not find it so hard in the class.

I try to meet the needs of my students. I'm very patient and I don't give up. I assess their prior knowledge, their current needs, their learning style and what we need to accomplish. I believe that all students can learn and we need to find a way for each student to understand the material and how to grasp the concepts so that they can eventually work on their own. I work as a support system until we can get to that point. I have been teaching for fifteen years. For the first five years I taught Montessori at the primary level. After the Rodney King beating I moved to the south, became a public school teacher and started teaching in "at-risk" schools.
