As stated earlier, All children can learn. I believe that all children have different learning abilities and it takes a positive ad patient teacher to notice and react. I am very patient, caring, and supportive. If a child is struggling to master certain objective, then it is my responsibility to provide all avenues to ensure success. There is no "u" in team. We will all work together to achieve the possible. I work hard with all my students and I never give up. I am an encouraging teacher who insists on making learning fun and interesting. I am a young teacher with a lot of energy. Therefore, I am more than willing to energize all children and encourage them to make learning a sport. I have been in the teaching field for 2 years now and I love it. Although I've taught during VBS and other church functions, I have been in the Gadsden County School District for 2 years. I enjoy t

I believe that every child can succeed with strategies to support their learning. My experience with students who do not know English and children who have disabilities, has really given me the opportunity to learn strategies to help all types of children learn. I have a proven record of helping struggling students to raise their FCAT scores. My number one priority when tutoring for the past ten years has been to motivate and get children interested in school. Many students need a little help with organizational skills, and after that, I show them how much fun learning can be! After transferring from the classroom to the State, I really miss working with kids, and the satisfaction of seeing a student's face when they really “get it.” I have been passionate about teaching for as long as I can remember.

I am currently a senior at FSU, due to graduate this fall 2010, with a dual major in philosophy, minor in English; and political science, minor in psychology. After I complete my degree I hope to go on to graduate school and law school. Where I intend to focus my research and efforts in the field of civil and social advocacy. I believe that the only way to a better future for humanity is education. Due to the rigorous reading and writing requirements of my studies I have developed excellent skills both in verbal and written communication. For the past several years while I worked to complete my degrees I tutored fellow classmates in the areas of statistics, psychology, English, philosophy, natural sciences and social studies. Having a minor in psychology gives me a unique approach to teaching and dealing with children. I have taken several classes dealing with human cognitive and psycho

While obtaining my Master's degree I had the chance to study many different subjects as well as tutor student from Kindergarten to undergraduates in many areas of study. I received 2 Bachelors degrees in International Affairs and Art History and studied several different languages that will make me well rounded tutor. I have excellent writing and editing skills as well as experience tutoring all ages in a variety of subjects. I have a love for education that I would like the chance to pass on to others. I am a very hands on and visual teacher that believes the best way to learn is by seeing and doing things yourself. In order to provide the best teaching expereince I would teach through multiple examples and putting difficult subject matter into a context the student can understand and visualize.

I believe that all children are special and have unique learning needs. There is nothing better than watching a child have an "ah-ha!" moment. Sometimes a child (or an adult!) needs a little help to make that connection though. I enjoy the challenge of finding what works for each child. I am a creative individual and take the time to research and experiment with different teaching methods. I believe in positive reinforcement and in putting the student in a position to succeed. In my experience, teaching has been a privilege and a joy! As a newlywed and young mother, I decided to pursue an education degree at the University of Florida. I maintained a 3.85 grade point average. While at the University, I discovered a passion for helping children reach their educational goals. I have spent the last seven years instructing my children. I have also been involved in Supplement Educational Serv

As a poet, recent MFA graduate, literary magazine editor, substitute teacher, and college writing instructor, I’ve spent the better part of the last eight years developing a command of the virtues of prose and their instruction. During that time I've had the privilege of working with a diverse array of students, both young and old, developmentally disabled and gifted, traditional and ESL. In addition, for grades K-12, I've taught nearly every subject offered in the Anchorage School District. If there's one thing I've learned from my last several years of teaching, it's that each student learns in his/her own way, and it's the job of the teacher to perceive those needs and tailor their teaching style to meet them. Although society is more aware of this now than ever before, today's classroom structure is severely detrimental to meeting a diverse array of needs. Tutoring is one way to comb

As graduating with a degree in the Psychology field I have come to understand children better. I understand that all children can learn, but there are different techniques in teaching that a teacher may have to use from child to child. Being a tutor you get to understand each child and work with them one on one and understand that specific child's learning ability. I have taught children for nine years and I am aware that children learn through a positive energetic person that makes learning fun. I have learned a lot going to a academically challenging college. I have learned grammatical skills, math skills, communication skills, etc. During the last nine years I have tutored children in all of those areas. I enjoy working with children. I am a very patient person and I understand that children learn in different ways through various techniques. I feel that as a tutor I have to have a

Throughout my existence I have found myself in the role of teacher. Whether it be academic or physical, I have been blessed with keen abilities, as well as an ease in communicating ideas. This, I believe, stems from a need to comprehend not just the action of something, but the reason for that action as well. By this, often I am able to see what hinders learning in someone, and then help them to eradicate that trait. I am lucid, passionate, and hold great patience for those that truly wish to learn. Learning has always been my goal. The hope of understanding is the light which illuminates this dark abyss of bureaucracy, strange smells and seeming disorder. I have read ceaselessly, watched ravenously, pondered to no end; a mind which never sleeps but continues seeking. I was Valedictorian of my middle school and graduated from FSU magna cum laude, but these are hot air to me; decorations.

I have taken graduate courses in educational measurement and assessment. I also have professional experience as an exam developer for the teacher certification assessment office at the Department of Education.

Students' achievements should be recognized. Children learn through active participation with their environment.

I actually have always taught others, even as a child, my peers came to me to learn new things because of my patience and persistence to help them learn. So, it was easy to study education in college. There my focus shifted to the more difficult children and adults to teach that had learning disabilities. Meeting the students where they are and accessing their needs is the place to start and then providing an environment that they will thrive in. I have always been a very intuitive and creative teacher - always loving children of all ages. When at the U. of South Florida, in order to receive a degree in Special Education we were also required to meet all criteria for a degree in Elementary Education. Therefor, I graduated with a double degree and a minor in Art education. The majority of my teaching experience was in the field from Educable retarded to the last years at our state institu

I believe in a multi sensory approach to teaching any subject matter. I believe in fostering academic and emotional success for each student with whom I work. I strive to accomplish this through positive reinforcement (intangible and tangible), humor and thorough knowledge of the subject matter at hand. During my 12 year teaching career for the Kyrene Elementary School District, I wore many hats within the special education department ranging from the classroom to administrative duties. I was trained as a district "trainer of trainers" for a phonics based decoding reading instruction program and taught within my district and surrounding districts as well. I also worked for the local community colleges as adjunct faculty teaching potential special education teachers the same type of reading program.
