Praxis Exam Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gibsonton, FL

I take a student-centered, hands-on approach to teaching. Individual learning styles must be addressed, and tutoring is an excellent way for a student to receive the type of instruction best suited for his/her learning style(s). Science can often be a difficult subject to learn, and also a difficult subject to teach; often requiring a careful blend of subject mastery, an arsenal of teaching strategies, and creativity. I have 4 years of combined instructional experience from teaching at public high school and at a state university. I have taught across the spectrum; from learning disabled (ESE) to gifted (IB), as well as college students. A 60-hour ESOL class has been completed (as required by law), and I have worked extensively with ELL students. The following is a list of the disciplines in science for which I have experience teaching: Biology (regular and honors), Ecology, Physica

I have taught physics and mathematics in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Florida. I have taught mathematics through calculus and AP Physics. The majority of my experience has been at the high school level. In addition I have tutored students at summer camps. I have also tutored students preparing to take the New York Regents Examinations. I am a teacher because I enjoy helping students. I enjoy teaching and I enjoy seeing students reacting to unerstanding concepts. I strive to have students understanding the concepts they are working to learn. I teach at the rate of student's understanding. It is not beneficial to go on without students understanding the previous concepts. Since I have a lot of classroom experience, I can present several explanations for difficult concepts. My students have always done well on AP Physics exams, New York Regents exams, and other aptitude tests.

Let me begin by talking a bit about my calling. In my philosophy of teaching paper, I recently wrote that I am ready to teach and educate students that anything is possible if they believe. Character, I believe, raises you up, but faithfulness through commitment to a cause keeps you there. I am uncomfortable with things that simply meet requirements. Going the extra mile and exceeding expectations is the way I commit to do work. Along with new ideas and ways of doing things, I want to be able to be mentored and molded by others serving in the profession. Being teachable is the only way to gain ground and to be effective. I was given the privilege of filling as an interim at Taylor Elementary school. Through this, I have learned so much and have gained practical knowledge as well as classroom management techniques.

One of the reasons I liked math when I was a student myself was because there is always one right answer. However, what I love to teach my students is that there are always multiple ways to find that answer. I often demonstrate several ways to solve a problem and look out at my students and see their “light bulbs” go off at different points of the lesson. Because children all learn differently and at different speeds, I think it is important to take the time to expose them to various methods of problem solving. In middle school, I believe it is crucial to give students all the tools they need to be critical thinkers. I also focus on teaching organizational skills and practical applications of concepts. Upon completing my degree in Marketing at Notre Dame and after internships in the banking and advertising agencies, I knew the corporate world was not for me. I took a position in th

I love teaching and after twenty years experience in education, still am at it! I believe in differentiated instruction, so I modify assignments and assessments to meet the learning needs of each student. I am a very patient, enthusiastic and fun teacher.

Over the last three years I have worked in Hillsborough County as a Middle School Science Teacher. After three years of teaching Science I had a strong desire to work with ESE and Special Needs children so I became a Sub for Hillsborough County so I could travel where need and work with various children. Prior to teaching in FL, I taught in SC and provided reading pull out in WV. During my time in WV I worked on a dual Masters in Literacy and Elementary Education, but was unable to finish it due to lack of aid. While teaching FL, I have also tutored children privately and with a SES service. I love working with children of all ages. I feel that all children can learn and that even the most struggling learners can improve if given encouragement and success. I am easy going, creative, and patient when it comes to teaching. I find that my teaching style is based on what my students needs ar

As evidenced by my experiences, I enjoy teaching students on many different ability and grade levels. My students found me to be laid back and understanding with high expectations. I believe each student has a unique gift to offer but it takes encouragement and consistency to be revealed in order for them to be successful in life. I have found it very important to also discovery and share “how” each student learns. Once your child knows what works best for them and learns how to implement those life learning skills they will be able to adapt to different learning situations with confidence. After volunteer tutoring at my daughters’ schools, I was determined to study teaching to have a better understanding of children with special learning needs. As a private college student, I was very motivated to obtain superior grades and I maintained an average G.P.A. of 3.50+ while caring for my c
