FCAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

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

Preparing for the dreaded FCAT can be stressful for many students. I've helped many students prepare for success on the FCAT. Students want to succeed. I offer the personalized curricula and individual attention that build the confidence and skills students need to turn their academic lives around. I’ve helped C students become academic stars and failing students discover their inner scholar and bring home grades that make their parents smile. I bring over fifteen years of teaching experience in language arts and math to my students. After retiring from full-time teaching, I began tutoring students ranging from first graders to students prepping for the SAT, ACT, and GRE exams. I've tutored both individuals and small groups and have seen students improve their academic careers dramatically.

I have been teaching elementary school subjects, from Kindergarten up to 6th grade for 6 years. Doing some work with the students preparing for the FCAT has been part of my work. I have been working for 2 tutoring companies involved with the "no child left behind program" designed by the education department. I have been tutoring on a one-to-one basis in the homes of the students or in the library if desired by the parents. In addition, I have also helped student study for the FCAT at elementary school level privately for a number of students over this period, and have helped with homework. I have had excellent results, with most of my students achieving almost double the scores from their pre-test score to their post-test score. All my students have shown a marked improvement at school. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Psychology and Sociology with sub major in Law. I have

Very familiar with the FCAT and have a wide variety of lessons that help students feel more at ease with regard to taking the tests (Elementary ages). All children can learn and it is my job to find out the best way to teach them. Oftentimes classroom teachers just have too many students and not enough time in their day to give the individual one on one attention that some students seem to need. I will confer with the classroom teacher and will determine the best way to present material to each student. I believe that parents, teachers and their tutor should all work together for the betterment of the student. The student must have input as well. I have a vast amount of experience with all different types of learners. From very young children to adults, and from those with very significant handicapping conditions and physical/medical concerns, to students with learning disabilities

As an educator in the public sector, I recognize the growing gap in education. I also understand the pressure put on teacher's and the lack of time to get student's to where they need to be. It is imperative that students have the opportunity to be provided with academic assistance that is relative to what is needed to progress through school and life. With over twelve years of experience, a Masters in Business, and a Specializing in Educational leadership, I have the qualities that is needed for students achieve academic success.

I am a career educator. I have ten (10) years of successful teaching experience and over fifteen (15) years as a school administrator. I have taught reading and math at the elementary and secondary levels. Additionally, I have taught "Adolescent Reading Problems" at the university level. I bring a wide variety of life experiences and instructional strategies to the learning environment. I believe that students learn more when they are having fun. Yes, there is work to be done, but laughter makes everything go a lot better. Study strategies, memory skills and pnemonic devices can be mastered by everyone and used to enhance the learning process. I believe that the love of learning is contagious. My desire is for my students to become lifelong learners.

Please see my comment for ACT. My tutorials are really dialogues with the students. I start by establishing a good working rapport based on my respect for that student’s individual intelligence. I motivate students by finding something in common between his/her own life and interests and the course topic we may be studying. Working on assignments with the student, I use the Socratic method to bring out his or her own best responses to the material. In further dialogue, I build his/her confidence by providing the tools that help articulate those responses as clearly as possible. These tools invariably include the best study and critical thinking skills needed to succeed in the course. I have had over 20 years of classroom and tutoring experience with grades 7 to 12 and undergraduate students. I have a current Florida teaching certificate for grades 6-12 and most of my teaching ex

I am patient and supportive, but persistent. Each student's mind work's differently, and I work tirelessly to find the best way to present material to every child or adult. I have a varied background, not just in the academic world, and I feel I can find the right way to relate to each individual. I try to be somewhat informal, but I recognize the times when a little extra emphasis on the need to really concentrate is necessary. I have logged over 300 hours of tutoring in the last 12 months. More than 90% of my students have given me the highest rating of five stars. I have worked for a game company, which taught me how to approach tests as a contest between student and test-maker, and my extensive background as a writer gives me practical experience when it comes to teaching English and related subjects. My competence in math has always been obvious, as my 796 score (maximum 800) on the

I GUARANTEE you the grade/results you desire as long as you do the ASSIGNMENTS I give you. My teaching style is "EXAM-ORIENTED." I'm sure it has happened to you before. You've spent hours studying a subject but you were not successful on the exam, although you knew the subject! I'll show you why you don't need to spend hours on unnecessary parts of a subject, teach you to obtain the KNOW-HOW and art of attacking problems on exams properly. I have many years of tutoring EXPERIENCE, and I've been a teaching assistant for the past three years in Physics at the University of Minnesota. In the past, I've tutored students as diverse as 5th grade to college students, and most of them showed almost no math and physics capability at the beginning. However, in almost all cases, the number of problems they solved on exams continuously increased in time, and I got phone calls from their parents t

I have been teaching children with special needs for about 15 years I am also an ABA therapist/ Shadow. Presently I am teaching primary grades with ESE students with Autism, LD, ADHD and Behaviors. I also teach Art to students in grades K--12th. Drawing, painting, Holiday crafts, wire sculpting. I provide simple and creative lessons for the students. I enjoy teaching. I find teaching methods that will be creative so my students are encouraged to learn. All my students learn at a different level. I provide alot of hands on teaching, which helps to motivate students. Each student has a unique way of learning, they are provided, with visuals, manipulatives, verbal prompts in order to learn the lesson being taught. Each student is on a different level, which means I need to provide individual learning techniques for each student while providing special accomodations for them.
