I have been a special education teacher for 10 years, teaching primarily Reading, although I have taught other subjects. I have tutored numerous students both privately and through a local tutoring organization and the Learning Resource Center of Polk County. Through my educator preparation and Master's degree programs at Warner University, I was taught to treat students as individuals and to utilize their areas of strength in order to remediate their areas of need. I love Reading myself and enjoy passing on that love to students. I enjoy working one on one or in small groups with students, which allows you to really see the growth and progress. I believe all children have an innate ability to learn; but some simply need more than the traditional classroom setting provides. I believe in using the student's learning style, and building upon that to strengthen their areas of need.

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.

During 2005-2007 I participated as a Dual Language Elementary teacher (Spanish-English) at Palm Beach County's School District, FL. I served as a second grade teacher for the first school year and as a fourth grade teacher for the second period. In this innovative program I was in charge of two different groups of children who were completely immersed in Spanish during half of the teaching contact hours. For the 2008-2009, I participated as a Dual Language Teacher (Math and Science). I worked concurrently for 5th and 6th graders at a Charter School in Colorado.

I like to assess my students and then come up with a plan that uses their strengths and interests to help them achieve their academic and social goals. Before you can teach a child you need to understand their temperament and gain their trust. I believe all children want to learn and can learn when the materials are presented in their learning style. I will use whatever it takes to reach a student; manipulatives, music, movement. My teaching style is very flexible and I will adjust my lesson to suit the student. I worked as a pre-school teacher for 5 1/2 years. During my last year I trained with Dr. Donald Lyman and developed a program for PK through 1st grade,and ran an after school tutoring program. I was so impressed with the results that I went to work for Dr. Lyman for the next nine years. For the first 5 years I worked with students 1-12 grade teaching all core subjects, at

I have thoroughly enjoyed instructing young adults, both in the military and in the high school and college settings. Ideally, hands-on learning strategies will be applied to each student, specifically tailored to their needs and goals. In my experience, the linking of instruction to relevent aspects of the students existing knowledge and personal situation is a highly effective technique. Delivering personal education to students and making a difference in their lives has been my goal for many years, and I wish to continue to help those in need. As a former member of the United States Air Force, I have always believed in making a difference in the lives of children and young adults. I have earned degrees in Aerospace Maintenance (AS), History(BA) and Management (BA). I spent the last two years as a high school AP Macro-economics teacher.

I am currently the Math Coach at a local Middle School. I have been in the educational field for thirteen years as a math teacher. I have taught mathematics on the high school level and the middle school level. I have prepared students for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) and I have had great sucess helping students achieve passing scores on this test. I have tutored students in basic math up to algebra 1 and geometry. I am a teacher that teaches by showing examples and explaining. I encourage my students to ask questions and I don't mind going over a problem again and again until a student gets the full understanding of what is being asked. I want my students to feel comfortable enough to ask me questions, because that is how they learn.

As I teacher for the last five years in Lake County I have taught English as a second Langugage,and students with exceptionalitites in grades sixth through eight. I have students that have learned to read while in my class as well as increase their knowledge of how to sound out a word and independently being able to spell. My success rate this past year in a few of my prized students whom weren't even to write in complete sentences or spell resulted in them receiving a passing score of the grade 8 FCAT. My teaching style is one that is easily relatable to the students. I teach bringing the real life to the classroom so it is applicable to other parts of their life, not just being able to comprehend the questions of a reading passage but successfully being able to apply what they have learned to life outside the classroom.

A love of learning has always been my trademark. As a child, I came home excited after school every day, eager to share what I'd learned. Yet, when I found myself hitting a wall in math a few times, I learned what it was to fear school. My goal as a tutor is to move a student past that challenge so he or she can view learning as a fun, exciting experience. With patience and encouragement, I believe everyone can feel this way. Getting to know each of my students as an individual is the first step in my tutoring process. Seeing the world through his or her eyes helps me to connect the learning to the student's own paradigm or viewpoint. In my education courses, I learned the technical terms for what I've always known -- when a student can feel part of the process, he or she is well on the way to understanding. My students become part of the process, and as a rule, my students learn.
