More About This Tutor...

Hi there! I took ASL four years ago and fell in love. I have since taken ASL 1-4 and now am in my last semester of ASL Interpreting. I plan to continue my education and get a BS in interpreting starting Summer 2015. I have taken Deaf Culture, Linguistics, Educational Interpreting, Special Setting Interpreting, and Businesses Ethics in Interpreting. I have all of my textbooks from over the years we can use to come up with a plan for studying. I always learned best by repetition. To memorize signs, it is best to use them in a sentence, so we will create short phrases to learn new vocabulary words.

More About This Tutor...

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.

More About This Tutor...

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 plans and designed educational tools for various students’ needs, helped students with proper social interactions and skills, and tracked students' progress. The following two years, I worked at Verona Area High School. I worked in Independent Study classes and one-on-one with students, such as a self-abusive Down's Syndrome/Autistic 19 year old. Currently, I work at Kanapaha Middle School as an Exceptional Student Education Paraprofessional.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught preschool education 2-4 years old. While I have not worked with school age students I have taken several college courses on elementary education and volunteered in several different grade school classes. Along with these experiences I have a bachelors degree in Human development which would help me understand the level of comprehension and ways to communicate concrete and complex ideas to children.
I believe that tutoring is a great way to assist teachers. The reason I say this is because teachers often have many children in their classes and as a tutor I would be able to work one on one with a child who might need a little extra attention. I also thing that when children are given a chance to grasp difficult ideas they gain self confidence and become encouraged to persevere. I also believe that children can learn to love learning, and a child who is given the chance ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is important to every individual no matter what age. The learning experience is never-ending. Children are very important to me as they are the future. Also if it weren't for my wonderful teachers I would have hated the academic process. It is important to note that no matter how far a student is behind nor how hard it is to recognize concepts I am beyond patient when explaining ideas and concepts. The personal approach is the most formative for an individual. When teaching elementary students it is important to in a stress free quiet environment where a student can be open to asking questions. I would identify specific students needs and formulate a stimulating and constructive approach to ensure their capabilities as students.
Although my undergrad degree is not the most prevailing, I have strong abilities in math. I have tutored many individuals throughout my life. My e ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT. Scores were high above the national average for math and at about the average for the written portion. I do have experience in writing research papers and laboratory reports, all in the field of civil engineering.
I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead i ... read more

I love mentoring and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but they all have different learning styles (auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic). Also, learning must be relevant to each student. For example, using sports statistics to teach math. I am patient, easy going, and fun. I am a firm believer in teaching through self-discovery and in providing an open approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and have support both in and out of the home.
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and I have a Master's degree in Family, Youth and Community Science, with a focus on youth and community development. I was a substitute teacher in the Atlanta area for one year which gave me the chance to mentor and tutor several high school students in math. I have worked with kids through v ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style embodies a combination of individualism and structure. Before I teach any subject, I dissect the topic to get to the fundamental root that may cause difficulties in learning. I break down the problem into a simple nature so that students can understand the logical reasoning of how to solve any problem. I believe that everyone has a unique learning style, so I use a flexible approach to better help students discover beyond just the right answer. Instead of just giving a student a few steps to memorize, I emphasize understanding why the solution makes sense, so that they may solve any problem regardless of their memorization abilities.
I will be graduating from UF this fall semester with a degree in marketing and mass communication. Although I am young, I have had some experience in teaching, as I have worked as a tutor during the summer. I have also served as a tu ... read more

I will graduate from the University of Florida in April 2010 with a BA in Biology, which required me to take up to Calculus 1 as well as Analytical Chemistry and Physiology classes. I have excelled in courses requiring numerical analysis and have experience teaching and tutoring, both in academics and athletics. Over the past 7 years, I have tutored peers in College Algebra, Trigonometry, Biology, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, and have given horseback riding lessons.
Because I learn best from application and hands-on problem solving, I incorporate games, diagrams, metaphors and stories into my teaching. I am patient, fun, and organized. I enjoy leading an individual to discover not only the answer, but also the method to solve similar problems. I believe study skills and time management are the keys to academic success and strive to help my students develop habits that will c ... read more

I use whatever works best for the child and can hold their attention span. It depends largely on the child's age, interests, and whether or not there are any learning, or any other disabilities. All children are capable of learning and enjoying to learn. I believe all children, whether normal developing or special needs deserves the same experiences, just delivered in different ways.
I have worked in both General Education and ESE education. I speak spanish fluently and french, semifluently. I also have some background in American Sign Language. I have also worked with the emotionally disturbed child.

A Little Bit About Me...

I was a volunteer camp counselor responsible for youth ages 12-18, teaching, leading for a week at a time for the duration of 9-13 weeks for three summers. I served as registration coordinator, training a staff of at least 15 group leaders, overseeing all registration responsibilities including check-in/check-out, organizing meeting spaces for each group, scheduling staff assignments, keeping complete weekly inventory and cash box tallies, organizing staff room assignments and other staff care responsibilities. During college I pursued a fine art degree focusing on Photography. Having taken classes in ASL when first entering college, I decided to return to pursuing a career involving American Sign Language.
I have an interactive teaching style, focusing on accurate information and positive motivation. I will provide ample opportunity for students to learn though assignments, puzzle ... read more
