Praxis Exam Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Florahome, FL

Whenever I can, I like to be very hands-on in my teaching my students. For example, once I was teaching my class about trees. I had them go outside and collect samples of bark which had fallen on the ground. Then we created a gigantic mural in my classroom and glued the pieces of bark to a tree we had drawn. I have been a self-employed Tutor since April, 2006. Special needs and home schooled students are welcomed. Nothing makes me happier than when I see the smiles on the faces of my students when they succeed rather than fail. I assist all students in skill building and creating a life-long love of learning. I provide on-going feedback to parents and am happy to work with the teachers of my students.

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I am a very dynamic teacher; and believe in cooperative learning, group work, and hands-on activities much more than paper-pencil or note taking. In addition, I hold very high standards for all of my students. I believe that if you hold high standards, the students will rise to the occasion and surpass your every expectation. I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology/Education and a Masters degree in Social Science Education. I am a St. Johns County Schools Middle School Language Arts Teacher.

Reading, writing, and speaking are essential skills that students of all levels would be well advised to hone and perfect. Throughout my teaching experiences, I have striven to assist both teachers and students to use words thoughtfully to be a critical reader of the words of others. While teaching continuing education classes for teachers, I helped my colleagues gain new tools to help them unpack difficult texts, and model how to share those tools with their students. I have experience teaching middle and high school students of all levels, from remedial to gifted. I also have tutored and mentored college students in reading, public speaking, and composition at all levels from undergraduate to graduate. All students can gain great benefits from participating in rigorous coursework and being encouraged to think critically. I am a firm believer in using differentiation techniques to

My experiences have given me opportunity to teach/tutor students of different ages, ethnicities, and socio-economic statuses. At all levels, however, I have realized that all students are capable of success. The key to being an effective teacher/tutor is finding a way to engage the student so that they are active in the learning process. This will most likely differ from student to student, however knowing the variety of methods to try is an advantage of those with experience. Whether discussions, writing, critical thinking questions, or modeling is used, students will respond differently. Being able to effectively evaluate which process works best for the student is what separates the good teachers from the great teaches. As a recent Political Science honors graduate, I have a strong background in writing and critical thinking. At Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL I was part of the p

My teaching experience covers a period of thirty seven (37) years in which time I have taught children and adults of all ages and cultures using time-tested methods to enable students to enjoy and truly grasp learning. Servicing students under most conceivable educational theories: public schools, private school students, homeschoolers, Workforce immigrants, GED candidates, beginning teachers, etc., I have seen remarkably positive transformations of my students' attitudes toward learning, as well as, toward themselves. My teaching style is highly personalized and tailored; firm, but friendly, has been an expression quite often used by administrators and parents to describe my demeanor. Once my students feel comfortable enough to truthfully reveal what they actually know and do not know, they realize that that is not a problem. No one knows everything. But it is instilled in my student

I am a patient and encouraging teacher. I am very committed to my students and teaching is my passion. I am not afraid of taking a student from level “zero” because I believe that anyone can learn as long they have the motivation and the explanations they need. My goal is to help each one of my students make their "academic dreams" become reality. I am a patient and encouraging teacher. I am very committed to my students and teaching is my passion.

For the last 25 years, I taught mathematics in grades 7-12 in central New York near Syracuse before I moved to Jacksonville. Although my focus has been math, I like to focus on study skills that best fit the learning style of the individual student, whether it is math or English or Social Studies. I also spent 3 years at Colgate University as a User Services Consultant in the Computer Laboratory. That title meant it was my responsibility to work with students on their resumes, cover letters, job applications and on any computer software that we supported. I definitely had to be flexible and knowledgeable in many areas! I have always taught math with an interdisciplinary team of teachers, so I get a perspective of "the entire kid." That way, if a student was not learning in my math class room, I looked for ways that made that student successful in other subjects that I could use in my

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.

As a graduate of East Carolina University, I have continued to be persistent in every aspect of my teaching career. I have earned only a bachelor degree in Elementary Education with a minor in child studies, which have helped me to develop and become the teacher that I am now. During the last four years of my college career, I have taught in a public school and have tutored children to help them succeed in their academics. My teaching style is very different, but I love being able to differentiate my lessons to best suit my students. I do believe that all children have different learning styles, so when I deliver instruction, I try to combine the types of styles and incorporate kinesthetic activities for the students to visually see and have that hands on experience. I believe repetition helps children to learn and grasp instruction as well. Through repetition and correct delivery, the s

I recently completed my education to be a communication and English educator at the University of Minnesota - Duluth. Through the program I spent a year as an apprentice at a middle school and high school. At these locations I not only observed, but also conducted the classroom a day each week. Also at this time I spent a day tutoring a low functioning reader one-on-one for the entire semester. The following year I student taught high school English and creative writing. In this year I also spent time tutoring after school in all content areas, (English, writing, science, math, study skills, etc.) To me teaching is about solving puzzles. Each student needs different devices or strategies to learn at their full potential. This is why I believe in experimenting with how class or a learning session is conducted. I pride myself on my courage to try something new and original in order
