Education is So Important. Let Me Help

I have been a teacher for 40 years. I retired because family care-giving required my full attention. My studies prepared me to teach and my experience prepared me to meet the needs of each student. I am experienced in all areas of Language Arts; reading, writing, grammar and literature as well as elementary math, history, psychology and the arts. I can help students with the organizational and learning skills that are important in a student’s success.
I have always been a teacher. I taught swimming when I was 14 and French to fifth graders when I was in high school. I love working in education. I believe that all people, young and old, can learn and reach their potential. My teaching style is calm and patient. I have a good sense of humor and am creative. However, I have high expectations for my students and for myself. I find joy in learning and believe that teaching a ... read more

I Will Meet You Where You Are!

Hello! I have 15 years of teaching experience in the classroom and have been tutoring now since January of 2012. I have a true passion for teaching! I have taught in the parochial, private, and public schools. I taught at Assumption Catholic School from 1997-2004, English and Reading to 6th-12th grade ESE students at The Broach School from 2004-2008, and Intensive Reading to 11th and 12th graders at Andrew Jackson High School (public inner city urban in Duval County) from 2010-2011. I have also conducted FCAT, ACT, and SAT prep, as well as study skills in the summer months when students don't have schoolwork! While in the classroom my average student came up 3-4 grade levels in a year in reading comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, and language mechanics. My certification was in English 6-12 while in the classroom
I believe every student can learn! School was never meant t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a seasoned business executive I have not only assisted with teaching at the college level (advertising, editing and writing, math, history and civics) but have also trained hundreds of managers and sales reps through various seminars, and workshops. I have extensive grammatical skills, due to writing lengthy business proposals, professional letters, and complicated product summaries. My math skills have remained honed through thousands of contract negotiations, and department budget exercises. I love to not only instruct, but to also teach how various exercises will help students succeed in everyday life.
I enjoy working with children and young adults, and am aware that everyone grasps learning at a different pace and in a different manner. An approach that works with one student might not work as well for another. I am patient, enthusiastic, and committed to your child's succes ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I do believe that all children have the ability to learn the subjects however not all children are in the right mind to do so. My goal is to show in real world, understandable terms the subjects we will work on. I believe that if a child is explained the rules in terms and words he/she understands, then he/she will grasp the material and carry it with them into the future rather than trying to cram for an exam with no retention.
I graduated from UNF in 1993 with a Bachelor's of Business Administration in the field of Management. The degree required classes in Accounting, Finance, Algebra and Economics. Mathematics has risen to be one of my preferred subjects, tutoring this subject for a year to date.

I believe that all students can learn. It's just a matter of finding the instructional style that matches their learning style. I am a firm believer in the theory of multiple intelligences, developed by Dr. Howard Gardner and adapted to the education field by Thomas Armstrong. It's not how smart you are, but how are you smart! To me there is nothing better than seeing the lightbulb go on in students' eyes when they "get it." My job as a teacher is to figure out how to bring each individual student to that point and guide all of them to reach their fullest potential.
I have 19 years experience as a high school teacher. In that time, I have taught several different English classes and reading. I have been a department chairperson, a reading coach, and have taught a variety of graduate level education courses to teachers as well. I was honored as Wentzville High School teacher ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I took Spanish throughout elementary, middle, and high school. I then took two Spanish courses in college. I've travelled to Latin America on four occasions and did fieldwork for my MA dissertation in Spanish. My level of spoken and written Spanish is high enough for tutoring at lower to intermediate levels. I spent 10 months in Brussels, Belgium. While living there I shared a flat with two native French speakers. I also took private French lessons for 5 months. I was also able to carryout day to day activities such as getting/giving directions, shopping at the grocery store, and going to the laundromat using my French. My French skills are strong enough for tutoring only at the most basic levels.
I like kids a lot and have been told several times that I have an uncanny ability to relate to the younger generation. My education philosophy is much like that of a trainer ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a believer in the old adage,” You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” I believe that it‘s the instructor’s job to try to motivate the student to learn the subject. The instructor need to teach the student that the information is important and worth the student’s time. If the student is not motivated to learn then the session will not be as productive.
I have always had a gift with teaching. I have conducted many training programs with the companies I have worked. I have taught college level management courses with Keiser University in Daytona. I am very gifted in Math and have tutored several students to assist them in understanding the importance of math in the real world.

As both a registered nurse and a retired Navy officer, I am an avid practitioner of lifelong learning and a zealous teacher who has vast experience in teaching students in military and private settings. I have gained invaluable insight in teaching both adults and adolescents during my many years as a mental health and medical-surgical nurse. Additionally, my previous instructional experiences in the military superbly complement my abilities in the absolute necessities of education: reading, writing and mathematics. Yes, "the three R's" are truly the basis for a successful education, and I look forward to sharing their importance with future students.

As a tutor I provided academic assistance to assigned tutees, either in a group or individually. Establish a working rapport with the teacher and/or work under the teacher's direction, if necessary to assist the student. I was responsible for maintaining records on each student who is being tutored, including follow-up and periodic assessment. Evaluations and other reports as requested by the program director helped students develop positive attitudes toward learning and studying. Students in turn developed self-confidence, raise self-concept, and reduce anxiety or fear of failure in their academic work.
In addition to my bachelors of science degree in biology, I recently earned a master's degree in business administration in 2009. I have 3 years of teaching experience in the classroom and over 2 years of experience substitute teaching and providing in home tutoring. I am passionat ... read more

I truly enjoy working with children and realize each child has a unique way of learning. Tutoring allows this one-on-one contact to discover how each child learns best. My teaching style focuses on improving a child’s memory and understanding of subjects. I like to alternate subject examples with practice to develop the student’s problem-solving strategies. I also help the student connect abstract concepts with things they can relate to in their own life. I use a lot of positive reinforcement and encouragement. To promote long term understanding I ask the student questions to encourage the student’s explanation to foster a deeper understanding of concepts.
