Award winning film editor and professional journalist

Life tends to be cyclical. Everything, fashion, music or economics -- eventually returns. And so did Don Canaan -- from a Bronx tenement to marriage, children, success in television newsfilm, immigration to Israel, re-marriage, two more children and a return to the U.S.A. and a new facet of journalism--print. Canaan's career dates to his appearance on Mike Wallace's NightBeat program. His news background covers four decades of history -- from 1960 until his departure from United Press International to become a Quality Editor for LexisNexis. From 1961-1974, Canaan edited newsfilm and documentaries for NBC News in New York, and in 1974 made aliyah as part of an American group planning to settle Yamit in the Sinai. When he returned to the U.S. film in TV news had become an anachronism -- a victim of American technology combined with Asian ingenuity. During three years oversea ... read more

Learn from the basics

I have taught several students in India, and I am quite properly understand the knowledge and the background required to teach subjects. I was myself a college topper and a school gold medalist. Hence I can teach and inculcate the knowledge of teaching in students. Learning maths and science is something very elementary if understood from the basics and in-depth. Thus it is very important that a student should learn, read and write all in-depth. This learning curve is something that I have tried to develop in myself from years to come and hope to imbibe the knowledge of it in several other students. I had got 167/170 in my GRE thus the basics of my maths is quite strong. I have even taught several students in India about how to crack this exam and helped several for cracking this exam too. I hope to help many more of the students.

More About This Tutor...

I feel very strongly about a differential approach to my teaching methods. I believe every child is different and learns differently then the next child. I feel confident in developing a lesson plan that can be diverse enough to meet each and every child’s gifts and disadvantages. My life is dedicated to teaching and I hope that I will be able to teach for a very long time. My hopes are to eventually acquire a PhD in Education.
I have attended CFCC and FCCJ. I am currently attending Liberty University for my Bachelor in Education. I have been teaching for about 7 years and through that time I have learned an extensive amount not only through in-services and training classes, but through my colleagues. I feel very confident in my ability to reach children that feel that they just can't get it. I have two children of my own, which I homeschooled for a year. My daughter, who is 13 yea ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I was brought up by both of my parents, which I am lucky to say they are both teachers. After I was born my mother stayed a housewife, but my father kept on studying, and teaching at many levels. He has now a PhD, and I am following in his footsteps, not quite same specialties but similar. Throught my working career of over 19 years, I have learned many skills and trades. But the one I have truly loved is learning new things continuosly. I am most comfortable training and tutoring in areas of language, business, basic math, computer skills and knowledge are my forte. I love teaching technology and how to use these systems.
I dont have a lot of experience with teaching children in a classroom environment, but I have a 5 year old, that I have to constantly teach different things besides what he learns at school.I have experience training physicians in a complex electronic medical rec ... read more

Teaching was not in my immediate future. I started substituting when I came to Florida and fell in love with teaching. I have a BS in Criminal Justice and have been through a Certification program with CFCC. I feel that I bring excitement, knowledge, enthusiasm and creativity to my students and have seen them excel in their reading skills and writing. I have tutored students in Reading in preparation for FCAT as well as succeeding in their futures.
I believe that my style of teaching can be summarized by one word..."FRESH". I look at education through fresh eyes and my students as a new challenge and endeavor. I LISTEN to my students and LEARN from them as well as teach them. I am interested in their opinion and try to incorporate their interests into my classroom which in turn produces enthusiastic students. I have seen great improvement in both the education and self confiden ... read more

I am very interactive with the student and I want them to see me as a friend. I for one do not like to be told what to do and how to do it, that never helps me learn. It is better when you feel you are working towards a common goal with your superior. I want my student to feel free to talk to me about anything, and to enjoy learning the material he or she is struggling with. You simply do not learn as much when you dread coming into the classroom everyday. I like to make games out of the work. Whether that has to do with an intensive game to really build the learning level, or a game just to release some tension and build my students confidence.
As a college athlete I always have been encouraged to help out the community. Because of my high level of math, I knew that I could really help others learn the material in a fun way. Math is something that has always been easy to me, ... read more

My favorite approach is to take it slow. I find that to teach a student a specific field of knowledge there is almost always a hindering block that cannot be seen at first glance. For instance, a student who is having trouble with division of decimal numbers may not realize that the whole issue stems from his lack of understanding of the multiplication tables. Allowing the student to show you what he or she knows and watching the student attempt the problem step-by-step will reveal this hidden block. Once this hidden block is taken care of, the information will flow easily and naturally.
Throughout my education I have always prided myself in being an excellent student. Although this extended to all my subjects, my most passionate courses have always been in mathematics. This has been true from elementary all the way through college. Once in high school, I began tutoring students in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy guiding pupils through the journey of “ah-ha” moments. That initial expression of joy and true understanding is my fuel for teaching. Whether old or young, I believe everyone is more than capable of comprehending any form of information, if presented in the correct fashion. It is my job, as an educator, to find creative approaches to teach my students. Any failure on their part, if they put forth a strong effort, is a direct correlation of the failure of the teaching method, and ultimately the teacher themselves. I don’t enjoy failing; so, the only acceptable solution is success!
Throughout my schooling, I’ve been very driven towards academic excellence. Because of my successes, I skipped 1st and 12th grade to begin college as the youngest freshman of the year at Carnegie Mellon University. I completed 2 years of Industrial Design, and Rapid Prototyping Engineering ed ... read more

As a microbiology student, I have taken rigorous courses in the sciences as well as math. The laboratory classes that accompany the science classes also provided first hand knowledge and the ability to write research papers and lab reports. This along with my passion for chemistry let me to take a position at the University of Florida Teaching Center. I first started teaching as a math tutor but then I was moved to a chemistry position. I have also held a tutor position when I was a peer mentor to students in an introductory chemistry class. Also, my work through Big Brothers/Big Sisters has allowed me to focus on my tutoring skills.
My teaching style is very specific to each student I tutor. I try to tailor my thoughts so that any student at any level in the subject can understand me. At the teaching center, the focus was to help guide the student to get the correct answer and not ... read more

I believe that my teaching style can be described as a patient mentor that is eager to share knowledge and provide a broad understanding of the importance of the material at hand. I am open to all different kinds of learning and enjoy working with different types of personalities. I am consciously aware that children are the future and hope to influence them in positive ways. In addition, I am also open to tutoring adults in a broad range of subjects including computer skills, business concepts, and the social sciences.
For the past two years I have worked for the City of Gainesville as a Recreation Aide I. The primary function of this position was to run an After School program for elementary students at one of the City's recreation centers. A central element to the program was tutoring services for the children conducted by the staff and university volunteers. Not only did ... read more

I am good with all ages. My ideas in physics, math, statistics and wildlife are very concrete. I am a visual person and do most of my teaching with real world examples. I believe that students only grasp concepts when they see things and relate situations into real life examples that they have experienced in their life. Helping a student get excited about the subjects I teach gives me tremendous joy.
Coming from an industrial engineering background, I have all the necessary math and physics skills to train students at the high school and early college level. A major career shift to modeling nature made me acquire new knowledge of biology, ecology, and, of course, much more math. I have been on field-work for a long time, and I've trained several people in sampling techniques. I am currently teaching wildlife population ecology to undergraduate students at the University of F ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a BA in Math and a love of logic. When I completed my degree, I was only a few courses shy of a second BA in philosophy. My other loves are spelling, grammar, poetry, literature, mind-activating games and puzzles, and similar activities. For the 2005-2006 school year, I took a long term substitute position for 6 months as a full-time instructor for drop-out prevention high school math students.
Working with drop-out prevention students inspired me and showed me that I have a talent for sharing my knowledge in a way that is intelligible and absorbable, as well as transcendable beyond the average classroom environment. I prefer to educate by asking my pupils leading questions that encourage them to use their own internal skills to arrive at an answer, rather than being "spoon fed" or otherwise assisted. My attitude is professional but caring, and I feel that I'm able to r ... read more
