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

Students learn best when they are doing. My teaching is style is a mix of modeling, hands-on and critical thinking. Depending on the subject and age, I enjoy having students use manipulatives or answer small real-life dilemmas as to understand concept better. In lessons I have taught, I focus on the learning objectives and match strategies that will help bring the information in the best way to each student, depending on their learning styles and background knowledge. I also like to start with an inviting introduction to pique interests’ into students. I assess frequently to see how student are doing in a lesson (or where there needs to be improvement) by using simple observations to small meaningful activities.

Having an associate degree in both the Paralegal and Early Childhood Education fields motivates me to stand up for the rights of children and to work with and teach young children as they grow and learn. I have worked with my daughter's home tutor for three years and also volunteered in her after-school program for four years. I admire the spark in a young child's eyes when they learn a new word or do something extraordinary. Sharing that excitement and giving the praise and encouragement is priceless. During my ten years of higher education and work experience, I have gained phenenominal creative writing skills writing research papers and reflections of childhood development,behaviors, and curriculum. Teaching young children takes dedication and respect. As a teacher, parent, tutor, cargiver, or whatever role one is in a young child's early years is also an example and a role model.

Creativity has always been at the forefront of my personal and professional practices. I earned a Masters in Fine Art degree with a concentration in Interdisciplinary Arts which has allowed me to use a variety of artistic methods - visual art, electronic music composition, as well as creative writing of essays, poetry, and plays, to help me meet goals. A former nurse, my experiences in teaching and mentoring have spanned more than 20 years on a variety of subjects. In the past five years, I have taught the arts to children and adults, with and without disabilities, in business, education, and healthcare settings. I am a firm believer that we are learners for life and that our yearning to learn starts at a very early age. I feel that children should be given every opportunity to succeed so support of their inquisitiveness is essential. As children mature into middle school and high sc

I often tutored fellow students through my high school career. I mostly focused on Reading, English, History and Science. Rarely did I tutor in Mathematics. I received my Educational Paraprofessionals certification in May of 2009, scoring one point shy of perfect. The certification allows me to be a teachers assistant in side classrooms in Lee County Florida. I prefer a very one on one style where I can figure out where the student currently is in the subject. I like to try to cater my teaching style to each students personality so that learning can be easy and fun.

I have worked with children since high school as a baby-sitter. Now I am involved in the education field and could not be happier. I have worked hard in my own education to learn how to be the most effective teacher I can be for your children. I have learned numerous techniques on how to teach all sorts of concepts. As a teacher, I believe if the lesson is intriguing to the student, then they will learn. My goal is to find out what works best for your child as a student and then make sure that their academic needs are met. Our tutoring sessions would be full of knowledge, but also enjoyable. An engaged student, is a student who learns. I hope to teach all my students to the best of my ability. I am a senior at Florida Gulf Coast University.

I am a very recent graduate of Penn State where academics are a main focus. I have a B.S. in Psychology and a B.A. in Political Science and feel qualified to tutor in spelling, writing, English, reading and related subjects. I would tutor a student in other subjects on a case by case basis. I have written a lot of papers and am very good at grammar. I have been an English tutor to foreign adults and my students always do well and enjoy learning. I am a very patient person and my teaching style reflects that. I will always make sure your child understands the concepts that the teacher is trying to teach. Even when he or she shows that the material is understood I will always go over it a few more times to make sure it really sticks. Everyone has a learning style that works best for them and I will try to figure out the method that will allow your child to improve the most. I will also try
