I have taught elementary school in private and public settings, in both New York City and Florida. I taught high school English and Global Studies in New York city. I have worked as a tutor in general subjects for elementary students, as well as for Reading, Language, and Biology for high school anc dollege students. I have also helped prepare adult students for the TABE, GED, and similar tests. I prefer to teach in a hands on fashion, but the most important aspect of my style is to adjust my methods to meet the needs of the student. I incorporate study and test taking skills into most tutoring sessions and specialize in tips and tricks for areas of difficulty.

I believe every student has their own style of learing. I am very much a visual learner and utilize this style. Many students, though, are tactile learners and/or find their attention is kept using computers. I love discovering what type of learner each child is. I like to always be positive and instill in my students that they can accomplish anything we just have to work together and discover their "niche". Seeing a child grow and succeed is my greatest reward. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work and have worked extensively with and for children including a Case Manager at Clay County Behavioral. I have always wanted to be a teacher so earned my Teaching Certification through St. John's River Community College in ESE and Pre-K through 3rd Grade. I have been a teacher's assistant at Wilkinson Elementary in the Trainable/Profoundly Handicapped class and am now in my 2n

My lessons can range from private lessons to group lessons of no more than five at one time. I prefer to be very involved in my students' progress, and will readily explain any questions that they do not understand. My main strategy is basically to lay out the concepts that will be covered that day, go over several practice problems, and give three or four practice problems for the students to work on independently. For art students, I will demonstrate with explanation the concept that we will be covering in that lesson (be it portraiture basics or still life basics), draw diagrams with the steps clearly labeled, and have the student independently work on a similar piece which applies the same concepts. I will supervise the student's progress and correct any lasting errors, but I prefer to have the students produce an almost entirely independently produced piece each session. I have work

I am currently tutoring students in preparatiion for Florida Writes. 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 allows me to share this joy. 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 stude

I love working with children. I believe that all children are capable of learning if they are given the opportunity. I believe that students learn best in a hands on engaging enviornment where they can put the skills they have learned to use. I feel that by providing an opportunity for a child to reach their full potential, and showing them the patience and encouragement they deserve, every child will succeed and lead the world into a brighter tomorrow. As a youth I desired to become a teacher. I come from a long line of classroom teachers. My mother is a teacher, my grandfather was a professor at the University of Florida, and both great-grandmothers were educators as well. I have experience working with children since in high school where I worked summer camps, in college working with after school programs and tutoring those students, to graduating college and implementing teaching s

In every subject I am qualified to tutor I have taken high school, college, graduate, and/or professional courses and earned at least a "B+" (91%), with exceptions only for attendance points being removed due to chronic health issues.  In addition, I have tutoring experience at both the high school and college level.  Every student has given me the highest evalution possible to my superiors. Finally, I have professional experience in both personal use and the teaching of written communication, oral communication, photography, and internet and networking setup. It is my practice and continued goal to use all of these experiences to best suit you or your student's learning needs. Every subject has its own teaching style, yet there are some consistencies throughout. I teach based on how the student learns. This may require adapting typical styles to meet the individual student's ne

As an Elementary Education senior, I have taken education courses on how to teach science, technology, math, and reading.

I have interned in a fifth grade, emotionally handicapped classroom where I taught lessons, lead literature circles, and assisted the teacher with paper work. I have also worked at a summer camp with 10 to 11 year old girls where I was responsible for planning activities and managing their behavior. I am currently interning in a Kindergarten class where I am observing and will eventually be expected to teach and lead the class. Additionally, I have volunteered in second grade and third grade classes. Besides volunteering and internships, I have experi

It is a firm belief of mine that every child can learn and succeed, they just need the motivation and positive environment to do so. With that said, I strive to create a learning-rich environment where students are encouraged to ask questions and find answers. I also like to encourage my students to try their hardest and to not be discouraged by challenging material. In addition, I realize that many students do not receive encouragement or learning opportunities at home, so I try to compensate for that by filling the day with multiple academic opportunities and challenges and positive relationships and encouragement. I have a medium control approach where I allow the children's inner motivation to steer the way instead of my external direction. It is my hope that I positively impact each and every child that I come into contact with. I am currently an elementary education major at the Un

I have gained tutoring experience as a volunteer tutor at Bartow High School, treating Spanish, math, and the sciences. Additionally, while serving as a Troop Guide for Troop 500 of the Boy Scouts of America, I had the opportunity to teach younger peers an assortment of survival skills. I am currently a freshman engineering student at the University of Florida pursuing a BS in Chemical Engineering, and I am a graduate of Polk State College, having earned an AA with honors in History. I believe that the key to academic success lies in developing a personal passion for any given subject area; I live to share my passion for knowledge with others. I am authentic, intuitive, and calm. I feel that all persons can learn any subject provided sufficient internal motivation. As much as possible, knowledge should be discovered in a relevant manner so as to ensure a continued interest.
