As a graduate of Jacksonville University, I feel I received an excellent education and want to give back to the community. There is not enough emphasis placed on education as it was during my growing up years. I fear that the focus has turned and it is centered on sports not academics. I feel there can be a happy medium reach in which students can get and experience the best of both worlds. I achieved in sports and academics but I made it my mission and promise to myself to graduate with honors. There is a whole world out there to learn about through education and if the learning process is done where the child is both motivated and shows a definite interest, it becomes a win-win situation. I like to teach using everyday life experiences and things that are relative to the tutee. One can read MacBeth and other writers from the past and still be motivated to learn. I don't believe

As a graduate of a prestigious college, I was inspired to change my major from music education to elementary education. This choice was made due to the growing decline in students level of achievement in reading.

I know my strengths lie primarily in students who are of the kindergarten through fourth grade levels. I feel students should have the opportunity to be themselves and is why I enforce a learning enviornment that is condusive to being independent learners.

Education and work experience: I have two BBA Degrees in International Business, Transportation and Logistics from the University of North Florida.

As a tutor, I focus on improving my student’s ability to use basic math knowledge to comprehend complicated math problems. My future work goal is to tutor mathematics to challenged students, middle and high school students. I believe that every student has his/her own learning pace. Each student is capable of understanding a subject if provided with the right basic tools. I give students a chance to first explain their understanding of a pr

I believe that each child has a unique learning style or motivation trigger and it is the teacher or tutor's job to find what will encourage the child to learn. I desire to teach children but also to help them learn how to teach themselves. Prior to my relocation to the Jacksonville, Florida area I had completed my undergraduate degree and was working toward my Masters in Education for Middle School. During this period, I interned at a middle school and had worked as a substitute teacher. I have also worked in management and training.

I tailor my teaching style to the student. I believe that the lesson should be based on the learner and not the preference of the teacher. Repetition is good for learning; therefore, the use of various teaching methods are employed in order to maximize the information retained and learned by the individual student. I may use music, writing, reading (various types of writing materials),arts & crafts, and real life relations to engage the student in retaining and comprehending information; not just for the class, but for a solid foundation in the subject area. I desire for the student to retain the information beyond the test. I was a Graduate Teacher’s Assistant at the University of North Florida January 2008-May 2008 in the Criminal Justice & Criminology Department, for Crime In America & Justice Systems (Courses included Freshman-Senior); where I facilitated breakout sessions of lec

I have experience at all levels in special education. I am certified in elementary education with a concentration in special education for K-12. I am efficient with basic sign language. I am not fluent, but know roughly 100 signs. I often use sign language as a form of teaching. I find that the visual aid assists in recalling a student's memory, especially with those who have forms of learning disabilities. I sincerely enjoy teaching one on one and love watching students reach success. I love teaching and working with all children. I find it fascinating that each child's method of learning is different for each and every one. Helping a child discover what their unique way of learning is and helping them use tools to maximize their learning methods to the fullest is truly rewarding.

When I first meet with a student I let them tell me what they know. In their own words about the unit or subject they are currently having trouble with. If I know how the instructor teaches the lesson I try to duplicate it. The child is already having a hard time and I don’t want to compound the complicated by teaching a different way. But, then sometimes I need to start from scratch. Again, I try to build on whatever the child is already comfortable with. I tend to be interactive and like lots of feedback. Visual, Auditory, and interactive. I give an example and I ask one from them. I ask easy questions and then add more to it. Doing my best to let the child discover the answer/ solution for themselves. I started tutoring in high school and all through college. When I tutored high school and middle school (usually math and science) I had a lot of experience with the subject m

Having taught a variety of children, those with IEPs and learning disabilities to honors students, I have developed a variety of strategies to accelerate the learning process, mostly through differentiated instruction. Trying a variety of methods to access a child's learning style is key. Tutoring one on one or in a small group allows me to discover this and capitalize on it even more quickly than in a larger classroom. As an English teacher with an advanced degree in teaching from Emory University, I have taught students with a variety of backgrounds and abilities. In addition to my BA in English, I also have a concentration in creative writing from the University Connecticut. My skills in teaching writing and grammar and analyzing literature have been honed over the years. I also have taken seven years of French and feel confident tutoring students through their third or fourth year.
