A Little Bit About Me...

Participative Agree with your learning skills
Projects formulation. Management of projects. Rural Extension My aspiration is to contribute my knowledge, experience and skills (including my lab skills) to the implementation of projects and to the creation of new opportunities in children and young education. I am especially concerned about the appreciation of the biologic terms, science and physics as well for present and future generations. I would like to share my experience and my education to other generations and give to students a position conservative and responsible face to our natural system. Give the tools to collaborate to maintain a better world in fact a sustainable and friendly world. I am strongly committed to my profession and would eagerly accept an opportunity to work in the educational system here in Florida.

My comments on tutoring Earth Science : Earth science is probably my weakest subject listed, I still feel comfortable tutoring it, but I would need some kind of list of topics needed to be covered prior to the meeting.

I graduated from Berry College in May of 2021. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors in Science with Honors. My major was Animal Science with a minor in chemistry. I have worked on several research projects that are in the process of publication or being prepared for publication. I never made anything below an A on my physics and chemistry classes. My specialty is in animal science, chemistry, and physics. However, I can teach lower to middle level mathematics. I am currently enrolled as a first year veterinary student at the University of Florida.
I am a very personable teacher and I like to modify my teaching approach to each student. I also employ a variety of disciplines to help facilitate a better understanding of the subject being learned.

I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor degree in Elementary Education and then received my Master's degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Educational Technology. I have done extensive work in the technology department at our school and continue to work with SMART products teaching other teachers how to use technology in their classrooms.
I love teaching children using hands-on and interactive techniques. I am also a personal trainer in my spare time so I try to incorporate moving into lessons because I think children work well when they can move around and really apply what they are learning to something they really like to do. I use technology constantly in my teaching and have found that my students really apply themselves more when they enjoy the fun that learning brings!

Teaching is my passion. My classroom is a place where students feel comfortable and safe and they are always eager to learn and succeed. Through the use of games, songs and hands-on activities, I ensure that my lessons meet the needs of many different kinds of learners. It is my goal to give individualized attention to each student in order to help them succeed both inside and outside of the classroom. I consider myself to be a very caring and kind teacher and I have worked with many students who have fallen behind and who were struggling to catch up. My many years of teaching experience, along with my creativity and patience, will make a difference in your child's life.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have completed all requirements for a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught mathematics, computer applications, life skills, and other subjects at high school and community college levels in Colorado. I have tutored and homeschooled statistics, college algebra, trigonometry, and other mathematics topics, and homeschooled a complete spectrum of high school level topics.
I believe in interactive teaching, where the student is as involved as the teacher. My satisfaction comes from watching students discover knowledge that they had previously thought unavailable. Every student can learn, and my purpose and goal is to help each student stretch as far as he or she is willing to go.

I really like working with children from low income families. I think each child has a different interest and way of learning. I try to discover these learning styles before I begin the tutoring process. I try to allow them to be comfortable and having fun during our sessions. Most of the time I do a lot of question/conversation responses to allow them to find the answer for themselves. I like a problem based learning style, even for the youngest of children. I not only want to teach them how to properly concur their learning material but how to find the information they need if they do not know the answer. Additionally, I want them to have fun and enjoy quality time with a supportive mentor and gain an enthusiasm for school.
I have a B.S in Animal Biology. I have had to take extensive science and math courses. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with childre ... read more

I am a recent graduate from the University of Florida from the College of Education with a BA in Elementary Education. I entered the ProTeach program during my junior year at UF. I have been exposed to a lot of teaching strategies and ideas that have been used in the classroom from the past until the present. I had the opportunity to use these practices in actual classrooms by developing lesson plans to teach elementary students. I have the experience of being the teacher in the classroom and working with students one-on-one with reading and math. I’m currently completing my Master’s degree at the University of Florida in Elementary Education. I’m doing a full-time internship this semester in a 2nd grade classroom in Alachua County.

I do feel with all my heart that all children can learn as we can and do learn from them. As stated earlier children have multiple intelligences and therefore require multiple teaching styles. I believe in teaching through discovery and in many settings a hands-on approach. I believe all children when provided the opportunity to explore and have different worlds shown to them they too have the potential to achieve academic success. I feel there are educators that can truly make a difference in a child's education and I feel that I am one of them. In summary, because we all learn in different ways I feel multiple teaching styles are necessary for our children of today.

I have worked in an ESE classroom teaching math and science to 4th and 5th grade students. I have also had many other practicum experiences in schools and have worked with students as a whole group, small group, and individually. I have strong curriculum knowledge, am caring and patient, and love working with students.
I like to motivate my students by providing background knowledge and examples of application in the world outside of textbooks. I think it is important for students to create an emotional experience to ensure that knowledge will be stored. I implore traditional methods, as well as research-based approaches that connect to students audio, visual, or kinesthetic learning styles. I am dedicated and patient and make it my responsibility to find the way each individual student learns and absorbs information.

I decided at the age of 38 to attend college and earn my BA of Education degree. I have worked with and coached young people most of my life on a volunteer basis. Teaching has always been one of my passions. I have worked with students with learning disabilities in my eleven years of teaching. I have taught all the core subjects from grades 3-12. My favorite subject to teach/tutor is math. I enjoy seeing my students progress in their learning.
I like to challenge my students to reach their potential. I realize there is a fine line between challenging and frustrating my students. I like for my students to figure out math problems on their own as much as possible. My teaching style is to model new material, do guided practice, and independent practice. Hopefully by the time they finish this process they have mastered the particular lesson.

1) My experience has given me the opportunity to work with a wide range of 11-21 year old students, who have an equally wide range of educational abilities. I worked one-on-one with students with special needs and helped educate students in regular education classrooms. Working with these students has allowed me to develop and adjust my teaching style to meet the needs of the students. For example, if a student was a visual learner, I utilized illustrations and created visuals to aid in their comprehension of the subject. If a student was a tactile learner, I provided creative and fun ways to make physical examples that would aid in their learning.
I graduated with a BA in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May 2007. I worked at Savanna Oaks Middle School in Verona, WI as an Educational Assistant specializing in Special Education for one year. I created lesson ... read more
