Florida Writes Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fort Myers, FL

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

Teaching and/or training has always been a highlight in my life. After graduation, I accepted a position as an Adult Education Specialist; counseling and interacting with adults (18-65) returning to school for their GED's. I have worked in a variety of settings including open school, individualized, and classroom instruction. Some students need a more independent approach. Other students require much more supervision while still others respond to a positive blend of the two. Most importantly, self-discovery is the keystone to inspired learning and it allows students to stay motivated. I believe that being the facilitator is my method of choice carefully blending styles that can make the difference in learning key concepts. I am applying for the position that you advertised online for Tutors in Math and Science. Given my education and work experience, I would be an ideal match for this

My success is grounded on my extensive executive management experience. Functioning as an independent contractor, I acquired new business accounts by direct prospecting, needs analysis followed by the presentation of solutions, which generally included the hiring and training of sales people for either outside or inside sales as well as the support staff.

I love teaching children of all ages. I live especially to teach reading! I have been able to motivate my most unmotivated students. The students I have in class are the last resort students before dropping out. I am their last chance!

I am currently working as a full time History Teacher at the PACE Center for girls. I have also had the pleasure of substituting for the Lee County School District during the last half of this school year. Since I was fairly new to the area, I decided this would be the best way to become more familiar with the schools throughout the district. I also have experience working at the Southwest Florida Marine Institute as a business manager. I enjoyed interacting with the students there as well. This opportunity also allowed me to meet some wonderful administrators within the district. Although I enjoyed the Institute, I felt working more hands on with the students would better suit me. I have also worked with a few tutoring companies both locally and out of state. One in particular brought me closer with those living at Our Mother's Home in San Carlos Park (attend LAMP School) I love

As an educator, I know that in teaching "one learning style does not fit all" hence, one teaching style does not fit all.I have experience with my own children as they go through the education system. I provide theory but I also allow the students to engage in "hands on" learning. I encourage classroom discussion an provide constructive feed back to enable students to learn and grow from their mistakes. I aim to empower students to take an active role in their education thus they are able to see the value of learning.
