I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. For me, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students as I share my own passion for learning with them. These children are our future. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students not only to receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individua ... read more

In the past, my classes have lasted up to three hours at a time. Thus, I have been forced to implement new methodologies in order to not only keep my students focused and interested, but continually learning as well. I incorporate fun activities such as creative writing and music into my lessons while still closely following the curriculum. I believe that education can be both entertaining and beneficial, just as I believe that all students are capable of reaching new heights of academic excellence. All it takes is a little bit of patience and creativity on both sides, the teacher and the student, to have an unforgettable experience.
I have two English-related degrees from the University of Miami, Print Journalism and Creative Writing (Poetry Focus). Since graduating in 2005, I have worked as a teacher in South Korea, Miami Beach, FL, and here in the greater Pensacola area. My clas ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began teaching/tutoring while in graduate school. I tutored undergrads in sociology, psychology, and social statistics. I also taught driver's education to high school students while in grad school. After ten years working in law enforcement, I switched to social services and I have been mentoring children in foster care for the past twenty years.
I try to keep the material fresh and I avoid boredom and repetition at all costs. One of my best tools to connect with a young person is through humor. If the student feels relaxed they are more likely to absorb the information. I also use reverse psychology to turn the tables so they actually find themselves teaching me the material. This has been a successful tool with children I have mentored as well as my own children.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that every child can learn. My job as a teacher and tutor/mentor is to discover which way will work best with each student. I am very patient and easy going. I believe in a reward system for all students. If students have something to work towards earning, then they are more likely to work harder at achieving their goal. I believe that I can and will make a difference in your child's life.
I began my college experience as a biology major. During my studies I found that my true love was not in the field of biology, it was in the field of teaching. I have experience with a varity of learner levels including regular education and special education. My experience also includes a variety of age levels between elementary and middle school. I am currently a middle school teacher and I have taught a variety of subjects. I have taught reading, science, history, language ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Variety is good! I enjoy working with students of all backgrounds, personalities, and academic levels. I have come to realize that we learn differently. What works with one student may not work for another, so I try to stay as creative, open-minded, and instructionally flexible as possible. I have also realized that most students want to do their best but find it difficult with the distractions and hindrances of everyday life, so I strive to engage students' full attention though a variety of games, activities, and projects. What I love about tutoring (that traditional classroom teaching doesn't always offer) is that I am able to give my students 100% of my attention for the duration of the study period.
Though I graduated with a BS in Secondary English Education, I have tutored and worked with students from elementary to secondary levels. From 2003-2008 I taught English and a ... read more
