Marketing 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.

My teaching style is mostly relaxed, like a causal conversation. I have found people to be much more responsive to learning in this kind of atmosphere. I like to find out what my clients understanding level is, work with them towards strengthening that understanding, and use a verity of learning approaches to help them become self-sufficient in the area. "In the second grade my mom sent me to tutor. She was an older women and had once been a prominent local educator. She would sit me at her dining room table and have me do my homework while she watched soap operas in the next room. My experience was stagnant. I hated going to her house and I hated school work. In elementary and middle school, I was a C and D kind of student." "In the eighth grade we moved to a new city and I got a new tutor. It was at an after school program. There was one paid professional and two high school studen

I am a patient instructor with children and adults.I believe in a goal oriented approach, visualizing the results and rewards of success.My greatest reward come from the success of my students. 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 initiated, developed, implemented, and in various projects, restructured existing sales departments and telemarketing departments within the client company’s current environment. I developed sound business protocols for the organization and provided hands on supervision. Employing strategies aimed at bottom line revenue growth, I recruited can

My teaching style is very similar regardless of audience: get them involved. I use creative exercises, current events, and varied instruction styles to keep the learning environment dynamic. My experience has taught me that learning is more about facilitating and fostering a positive environment than it is about memorizing facts. I began my teaching career while obtaining my Master's degree at the U of Iowa. I taught the entry Business Administration course as part of my graduate program. This included grading, testing, actvities, and coaching students. Once employed in the corporate world, I continued teaching within my corporate position, as well as in adult education settings with Indiana Wesleyan, Univesity of Indianapolis, and Indiana Tech. I expanded my role from adjunct faculty to part-time consultant by helping them development their Information Technology program. Additio

I love kids, and I know the importance of a positive impact on such a tender age. My style is interactive, it's important to have students participate in the activities and discussions. Listening to a child is very important and always helps them build confidence and to remember the subject better. As an Ivy League graduate, I've always thrived in an environment of challenge and excellence. I taught in my church, kids from 6-9 years, for 2 years. I have a bachelor's degree in telecommunications with a minor in translations and interpretation.

I have been working in the banking field for over 15 years since I graduated with a degree in business. In Jan. 2009 I was laid off from a banking job for the second time. I am doing a career change to teaching. I have been hired as football coach at Estero High School, I will be working as a teacher this fall 2009. I have been fingerprinted by Lee County School and I am cleared to be employed. I have a son that is 8 years old I help with his home work every night. Last year in the second grade they wanted him to stay back, I said I would help him. This year in second grade he is making E & S Honor Roll. My teaching style would be the same way I teach my son. I give him the opportunity to learn. I work with him. I put the time in to help him. I take the time to help him, and if he get a problem wrong I help him correct it.

The definition of success varies from person to person, from situation to situation, from school to school, from goal to goal. A success story that I am proud to repeat to all who will listen occurred during the 2003-2004 school year. I had a group of 50 awnery, rambunctious, and extremely diverse eighth graders. These eighth graders were highly motivated. Unfortunately they were not motivated in the area of English, or responsibility, dependability, perseverance, or respect. Though these students had an abundance of creativity, knowledge, and ability, they lacked the focus and direction to use it TOWARD their education rather than AGAINST it. Through a lot of modeling, practice, encouragement, praise, and I'll admit, a lot of begging at times, these students began to become self-advocates for their own education. They began clearly seeing their education as an investment

Everytime I see a student's eyes light up after learning something new or interesting to them it makes me feel like I have done something great. I am a very patient person and love helping students achieve academic success. When a student says to me that they need a little extra help with something it means that they want to learn and when a student wants to learn I am all for it. I want students to reach their highest potential and I will do what ever it takes, pulling from my adjuncting and substituting experiences, to help that student in anyway I can. I have a BA and MA in Communications, I was an adjunct professor in Communications as well as a substitute teacher in a high school. I will be starting the Teacher Immersion program at FGCU in the Summer. I am looking forward to teaching High School English and Speech, while doing Adjuncting at a local college. I have a lo

Engaged in academic activities with selected students either one-on-one or with small groups. Developed meaningful and positive relationships with children and their families. Assist children with daily homework tasks and supplemental assignments. Created a safe, respectful child development based learning environment. I am a recent Business graduate with a 4.0 GPA, who volunteers my time everyday at James Stephens International Academy, as a teacher assistant. I don’t have a specific age group that I prefer; I love inspiring children to make the right choices, when it comes to education. I tell my daughter all the time how blessed she is to do any kind of school activity, because I didn’t make those wise decisions, I chose to drop out of school in the eight grade. It’s nothing that I am proud of, that’s why I am committed to enhancing and supporting the education of my daughter and othe

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning.

My teaching technique the students differ greatly in their ability to acquire knowledge depending on their previous backgrounds and learning styles. Therefore, it is a very challenging task as a tutor to create a fertile learning environment for students with dissimilar needs,and to be able to achieve not only the targeted course objectives, but also inspire students into becoming independent problem-solvers and good thinkers. So, one practice that has been very useful to me as a tutor is to be able to identify student’s skills and their conceptual understanding levels early on in a particular course. The breadth of my experience has enriched my teaching life, but left me without a luxury some of my colleagues enjoy-the sense, as embarked upon a new challenge,tutoring students, that I know what students will need, and how best to share it with them.

My teaching style is best described as adaptive. We all learn differently, some more so by doing, others by seeing or listening, and others by thinking it through. Learning is a combination of processes, emphasizing what works best. For me, the approach is to use what works best for the student to learn what needs to be learned, with the underlying objective of the student learning how to learn - meaning a self-awareness of what works best for him or her. The tough learning is slugging it through the stuff that we just don’t seem to get or seems to have no value in our future lives. One book I’ve always liked is “The Memory Book” by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas for the varied approaches for using our brains. My teaching experience has been both formal and informal. I’ve been a teaching assistant to college undergraduates, an instructor in management studies and also an instruc

I believe in the power of education. I have a reputation for honesty. I make students work harder then they ever thought they could. I can make students sit through 45 minutes of instruction when thier own parents cannot make them sit for 5 minutes. I have the ability to make students wonder, question, have respect and take responsibility for thier actions. I teach them to write, read, read, read. I make my students feel safe and tell them if they use the gifts that were given and follow thier hearts, they can succeed. I make a difference that is what is important. Holding a BS in Business Management and a BS in Criminal Justice and going on to earn my MS in Criminal Justice, I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education.

I have a passion for students and get them engaged with the learning process immediately. I am very patient, listen openly and treat students both with dignity and professionalism. I believe that students can meet their potential provided that they are supplied with the tools that are necessary for learning. Teaching both at the high school, junior high and college level have provided me with working closely with a diverse group and I've left a positive impact on their learnings which have been mentioned in all of the student evaluations that were given. Our children are our future and I want to have an impact on future generations. I am a positive outgoing individual who has taught at the college level since 2002.
